Warsaw Pact ends
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - The Warsaw Pact effectively
went out of business Monday, ending a 35-year confrontation
with NATO that divided Europe between the two alliances
and created history’s costliest arms race.
Defense and foreign ministers of Warsaw Pact members for-
mally dissolved the East Bloc alliance’s military functions in a cer-
emony at a luxury Western hotel on the Danube River.
Countries signing the agreement — the Soviet Union,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania -
agreed to meet in Prague by July 1 to disband the alliance’s re-
maining structures.
A meeting planned later this week in Budapest to disband
Comecon, the Soviet-led equivalent of the European Common
Market, was postponed indefinitely.

People hold tax support rally
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Several hundred people gath-
ered in downtown Oklahoma City on Monday for a rally in sup-
port of a I -cent Oklahoma County sales tax aimed at getting
United Airlines to bring its $1 billion maintenance plant here.
Oklahoma County residents will vote Tuesday on the tempo-
rary sales tax, which would be collected for 33 months to subsi-
dize construction of the maintenance facility. The sales tax is
expected to raise about $120 million.
I he sales tax would not be imposed unless United contracts
to build the plant in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is one of
nine locations considered finalists for the plant. United will
announce its decision in March.
Bands played and people carried signs and festive balloons
as they listened to speakers in favor of the tax. Gov. David Wal-
ters, former Gov. George Nigh and former gubernatorial can-
didate Vince Orza were among those speaking to the crowd at
the noon day rally.
Merle McCollum, who leads a group opposed to the sales
tax increase, said opponents have planned no gatherings.

Astronauts to stay up all night
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) - Astronauts slated for
die overnight shift on the next space shuttle flight will spend the
week before launch staying up all night and squinting under
bright lights in an all-white room.
Doctors believe the treatment will help the men adjust to
the irregular sleep cycles demanded by Discovery’s round-the-
clock military mission.
I he new technique, aimed at tricking the body into resetting
its internal clock, worked wonders for the last space shuttle crew.

alert throughout the taxing mission in December in spite of their

“We all felt better,” pilot Guy Gardner said. “The lights did
Soldiers die in copter crash
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Five U.S. soldiers
died today when their helicopter crashed in Lake Ilopango near
the capital, officials reported.
I he Army helicopter went down in Lake Ilopango at 8:40
a.m. (9:40 a m. EST) because of mechanical problems, U.S. Em-
bassy spokesman Ray Diaz said.
I he aircraft had taken off from Salvadoran air force head-
quarters at Ilopango, on the eastern edge of San Salvador. Diaz
said the copter was on a “routine inventory survey mission.”
The American Embassy in Honduras said the helicopter was
based at the Soto Cano Air Base 40 miles northeast of the Hon-
duran capital, Tegucigalpa.
Diaz said names of the victims were being withheld pending
notification of relatives. He said the pilot reported mechanical
difficulties just before the crash as the helicopter was returning
to the base.
Officials said there apparently were no survivors.
It was the second time in less than two months that a Hon-
duran-based American helicopter crashed in El Salvador with
fatalities.

Protest to be held at noon
••,
The Campus Coalition for Peace will hold a protest at noon
today on the South Oval to oppose the U.S. ground offensive in
Kuwait, said group spokesman Dennis Cohen.
“It’s a disaster for us to go on a ground offensive with a
peace proposal on the table,” said Cohen, a physics graduate stu-
dent from New York.
The group is aligned with the National Network of Campus-
es Against War and has sponsored previous war protests on cam-
pus.
“It’s essential for dissent to be expressed,” Cohen said.

Activist priest calls for protest
GREENSBORO (AP) - The United States should have let
Arabs deal with Saddam Hussein, said the Rev. Daniel Berrigan,
who urged his listeners to protest the Gulf War through acts of
civil disobedience.
“As the war goes on, we need to look at the law again that
protects this war-making and see if we can be just by remaining
legal," Berrigan said to a packed house at St. Pius X Church.
No war is just, said Berrigan, who has burned draft files,
thrown his blood on nuclear missiles and spent two years behind
bars for his anti-war efforts.
Because of his activism, Berrigan, 69, a Jesuit priest, had his
invitation revoked to teach a class on Christian ethics, war and
peace at High Point College this semester. College President
Jacob Martinson said the Persian Gulf War made Berrigan’s visit
untimely. Other professors took over the lectures.
But the Franciscan friars in Greensboro asked Berrigan to
speak at their downtown center, which can seat about 150 people.
When 300 people expressed interest in attending, the Francis-
cans moved the lecture to the church.
