	LONDON (UPI) -- The battle to lead Britain's Labor Party, soundly
defeated in last week's general election, began Tuesday with
announcements from two senior party members that they were entering the
contest.
	Economy spokesman John Smith's declaration that he would seek the top
position came less than 24 hours after the resignation of Neil Kinnock,
who led Labor to two election defeats since becoming party leader in
1983.
	``If I am elected, I will continue the work begun by Neil Kinnock of
modernizing the structures and procedures of the party so that it can
produce policies relative to the society of today and tomorrow and can
campaign effectively for them,'' said Smith.
	Smith, 53, a successful Scottish lawyer before entering politics, is
popular within the party and has wide support from influential trade
union movement.
	Labor environment spokesman Bryan Gould, 53, announced his candidacy
later in the day for the head of the party. He said he also would run
for the deputy leadership position.
	Some party members and commentators have criticized Labor for rushing
into a leadership contest without fully examining the reasons for its
surprise defeat by the Conservative Party.
	Several members of Parliament, including Gould, declared their strong
opposition to an early contest, as proposed by Kinnock.
	In his speech Kinnock said he would ask a special meeting of the
National Executive Committee on Tuesday to call the elections for late
June, arguing that the date served the ``best interests'' of the party.
	The timetable would allow the parliamentary party to elect a new 
``shadow cabinet'' before the summer recess, he said.
	``It would not be right for the Labor party to wait six months until
(the) October (party conference),'' he said.

	LONDON (UPI) -- Neil Kinnock, leader of Britain's main opposition
Labor party, was set to announce his resignation after his second
general election defeat, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported Sunday.
	Kinnock, whose party lost to the ruling Conservatives Thursday, has
said he would make a statement on his future as leader Monday. The BBC
said this was to be an announcement of his resignation.
	``The party is anxious to see a smooth succession, to minimize the
damage and uncertainty surrounding the party after the trauma of its
defeat,'' the BBC said. ``Neil Kinnock ... (is) certain to announce his
resignation tomorrow.''
	Kinnock, 50, has led Labor since October 1983. His party lost to the
Tories in 1987, but Kinnock was widely credited with bringing his party
back to within reach of power, firmly rejecting many of the more radical
socialist policies adopted by Labor in the 1970s.
	He was expected by many to become Britain's new premier in Thursday's
election, after opinion polls in the run up to the vote consistently put
Labor in the lead.
	But a late surge in support for the ruling Conservatives, who have
been in power for 13 years, brought them an historic fourth term in
office, and consigned Labor to another five years in opposition.
	According to the Sunday Times newspaper, many Labor colleagues have
urged Kinnock to stay on as leader until the party's annual conference
in October.
	But, the paper said, Kinnock wants to speed up the election of his
replacement ``to minimize the electoral damage to the party.''
	The BBC said Roy Hattersley, the party's deputy leader, was likely to
step in as caretaker until a new leader was elected, when he would also
stand down. Party officials are planning a special meeting before July
to elect a new leader, the BBC reported.
	The most likely candidate for the leadership was John Smith, the
opposition treasury spokesman, although there was speculation that Brian
Gould, the opposition environment spokeman, would force a leadership
contest, the BBC said.

	SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (UPI) -- The Salvadoran government has
rejected the tally of weapons handed over to the United Nations by ex-
guerrillas as false, Armed Forces Minister Gen. Rene Emilio Ponce said
Tuesday.
	``We Salvadorans have seen the type of arms carried by the Farabundo
Marti national Liberation Front, or FMLN, in war zones and it does not
correspond with the arms handed in,'' Ponce said.
	``We haven't seen anti-aircraft missiles and we haven't seen modern
support weapons but we are seeing old, out-of-date arms,'' Ponce
continued.
	Under the terms of the cease-fire signed Jan. 16 between the
government of President Alfredo Cristiani and leftist FMLN guerrillas,
rebels were to hand over all arms used during the 12-year civil war.
	Ponce said the FMLN always had powerful modern weapons but the
inventories handed over to U.N. observers didn't reflect this. It will
be the job of the U.N. officials to make sure the guerrillas are
complying fully with the terms of the peace accord, he said.
	However, FMLN commanders, who have also accused the government of
reneging on their part of the deal, vowed to comply fully with peace
accords which would see the organization move into civilian life and
function as a political party.
	``I have complete confidence that our military is going to comply,''
FMLN chief Jorge Melendez told a Salvadoran television station. ``The
FMLN's military arm is going to convert itself into a political and
economic force and that is the reality.''
	``We are going to triumph and demilitarize the country and I can
assure you we will comply within the specified time,'' Melendez said.

	DHAKA, Bangladesh (UPI) -- A renewed wave of terror by Burmese troops
has led to a sharp increase in refugees fleeing across the border into
the Bangladeshi southeastern district of Coxs Bazaar, the state-owned
Bangladesh News Agency said Wednesday.
	Another 1,500 Burmese Muslims, known as Rohingyas, crossed into
neighboring Bangladesh over the past 48 hours, the news agency said,
after the flow of refugees had turned into a trickle during the previous
week.
	The new refugees, according to Dhaka's prestigious English-language
Daily Star newspaper, said 12 Rohingyas were killed last Monday in the
town of Mong-Du in the northwestern Burmese province of Arakan, when
Burmese troops opened fire on a demonstration protesting against the
massacre of Muslims in the province.
	Nurul Amin, a Rohingya Islamic scholar, claimed he witnessed the
massacre of 400 Rohinqyas by Burmese troops at a Mong-Du mosque during
Sunday morning prayers.
	But Bangladesh state radio estimated the Rohingya death toll at 26
since the killings of 12 at the mosque Sunday. It said over 2,000
Rohingyas had been arrested by Burmese troops in Arakan since the Sunday
killings in an apparent increase in the level of repression aimed at the
province's estimated three million Muslims.
	The new wave of terror followed a lull during a visit to Arakan last
Friday by United Nation's Under Secretary General Jan Eliasson.
	According to Amin, who arrived in Coxs Bazaar Wednesday, Burma has
redeployed some 10,000 troops in the province in the past four days,
after they were pulled out during Eliasson's visit.
	Meanwhile, government and relief officials in Coxs Bazaar said
Wednesday the new arrivals have swelled the total number of Rohingya
refugees in makeshift camps to 192,630.
	The Bangladesh government has set up 12 camps in Coxs Bazaar to
accomodate the growing number of refugees, the officials said.

	Virginia Democrats Saturday began two days of caucuses across the
state in the start of a lengthy process of selecting presidential
delegates to the party's national convention.
	Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas was expected to win the most support.
He should do well in Northern Virginia, Southside Virginia and the
western part of the state, according to Harry Carver, executive director
of the state Democratic Party.
	Former Gov. Jerry Brown of California, who visited Virginia
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to help drum up support for his campaign,
was expected to do well in Richmond and some of the state's other
college communities.
	Democrats on Saturday and Monday will select the names of 3,500
people committed to Clinton, Brown or no candidate.
	In early tabulations by state Democratic officials, Clinton led Brown
362 delegates to 221. Another 317 were uncommitted. However, the figures
did not include caucuses in some of the most heavily populated regions,
such as Northern Virginia and Virginia Beach.
	The two days of caucuses are only the start of Virginia's delegate
selection process.
	The slates chosen Saturday and Monday, in turn, will elect delegates
at 11 congressional district conventions and the state convention in
Roanoke in June. Eighty delegates to the national convention will be
elected.
	Twelve party officials are automatic delegates, and five members of
Congress are chosen, bringing the total number of Virginia delegates to
97.
	Whoever turns out the most voters Saturday and Monday likely will go
on to win the most number of delegates. If a candidate does not win 15
percent of the vote at each of the caucus meetings, he receives no
delegate votes.
	About 68 percent of the convention delegates were expected to be
elected Saturday, and the remainder Monday night.

	NEW YORK (UPI) -- Democratic front-runner Bill Clinton, who was
running dead even with President Bush a month ago, has suffered a major
loss in support and now trails Bush by 11 points, according to a poll
released Saturday.
	Most all of the voters who have deserted the Arkansas governor are
now in the undecided column, according to the Time Magazine-CNN survey,
which was conducted two days after Clinton's victories in the bruising
New York, Wisconsin and Kansas primaries.
	The poll found that 44 percent of registered voters said they would
cast their ballots for Bush if the election was held today, while 33
percent would support Clinton, and 23 percent were undecided.
	Just last month, Clinton was neck and neck with Bush, with both
supported by 43 percent, and just 14 percent of voters undecided.
	In a three-way matchup with Bush and Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot,
Clinton slipped even further behind the president in the current poll.
	Bush had the support of 40 percent of those surveyed, while Clinton's
support dropped to 25 percent. Perot had 21 percent, and 14 percent were
undecided.
	The poll was to appear as part of a story headlined, ``Why Voters
Don't Trust Clinton,'' in the issue of Time that goes on sale Monday.
	In the wake of the April 7 primaries, 67 percent of those polled said
they now believed Clinton would say anything to get elected, and 53
percent said he was not honest and trustworthy enough to be president.
	It might be little consolation, but 60 percent thought that Bush also
would say anything to get elected. The president fared better on the
honesty question, however, with 59 percent saying they thought he was
trustworthy enough for the highest office in the land.
	The poll of 937 registered voters has a margin or error of plus or
minus 3.2 percent.
	On the bright side for Clinton, a new poll for Newsweek found that a
little more than half of the 772 Democratic superdelegates said they
would support him if he arrived at the convention in July still needing
the votes to secure his party's nomination.
	Newsweek said that would be enough to put Clinton over the top, but
not by much.
	But only 35 percent of the Democratic superdelegates thought it was
very likely that Clinton could beat Bush in November. Forty-three
percent said it was somewhat likely he would win, and 14 percent said it
was not too likely or not at all likeley.

	LIMA, Peru (UPI) -- Suspected Maoist rebels detonated a car bomb
Monday at a police outpost near Lima's principal port, El Callao,
killing at least three people, injuring 15 and badly damaging nearby
homes and a school, police said.
	Rescue workers were searching for more dead and injured in the rubble
caused by the blast, which was attributed to Shining Path rebels whose
daily string of killings has not ceased since democracy was suspended
April 5.
	Police said the car bomb contained about 130 pounds of dynamite and
the early morning blast damaged dozens of homes and cars nearby, as well
as a parochial school. The school was empty at the time.
	At least one policeman and two civilians were killed in the explosion
that rocked the Bellavista area, a community adjoining the Peruvian
capital and the site of Peru's most important port.

	LONDON (UPI) -- Prime Minister John Major, setting the course for his
new government, named a new Cabinet Saturday in an administration
reshuffle in which four government ministers lost their positions.
	Major, who was criticized for having an all-male Cabinet, named two
women to senior Cabinet posts -- Virginia Bottomley, the new health
secretary, and Gillian Shepherd, named employment secretary.
	The Cabinet reshuffle also saw a shake-up of some senior portfolios
with Malcolm Rifkind, formerly transport secretary, replacing Tom King
as defense secretary.
	Kenneth Clarke, formerly education secretary, replaced Kenneth Baker
as home secretary.
	Douglas Hurd retained his position as minister of foreign affairs and
Norman Lamont will continue as chancellor of the exchequer.
	Major, who won a decisive victory in Thursday's general election, has
reshaped his government in a move to establish his own leadership, free
from the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, his predecessor.
	The youngest prime minister this century, the 49-year-old Major came
to power in November 1990 after an internal Conservative Party struggle
that forced the Thatcher's resignation.

	LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPI) -- Democratic presidential front-runner Bill
Clinton Thursday praised former rival Paul Tsongas and his call for
fundamental economic change, saying a unified party could make Tsongas's
message come true.
	Tsongas declined Thursday to restart his campaign for the Democratic
nomination and announced in Boston his effort would remain suspended
despite a second-place finish in the New York primary.
	His decision bolstered the Clinton campaign's efforts at building a
band wagon of support for the all-but-assured nominee and focus the
campaign on the November general election contest against incumbent
George Bush.
	``As Paul said this morning, 'the American people are ready for new
resolve,''' Clinton said in a prepared statement. ``That requires
defeating George Bush and getting this country moving again.
	``Paul's core conviction that a Democratic Party, united behind a
message of economic growth, could win back the White House remains more
true today than ever. This November, we Democrats will show that the
idea of change to restore economic growth for all and to reinstill a
sense of national unity and purpose is an idea whose time has come.''
	Tsongas and Clinton talked by telephone before the former
Massachusetts senator made his announcement Thursday. Tsongas said
Clinton did not ask for an endorsement and not was offered.
	By suspending his campaign, rather than disbanding it, Tsongas
remains on the ballot in other primary contests and maintains control of
his delegates and clout to press his call for fiscal discipline and
business growth.
	Clinton was in Little Rock Thursday for the start of five days of
doctor-ordered rest. Doctors warned the allergy-prone Arkansas governor
that he risked permanent damage to his vocal chords without an extended
rest.
	Meanwhile, efforts were underway at Clinton's headquarters to
coalesce support for the candidate.
	The Southern Caucus of the Democratic National Committee issued a
resolution distributed by campaign headquarters urging the party to
unite, ``behind our nominee and the next president of the United States,
Gov. Bill Clinton.''
	``The Democratic nominating process is over two-thirds completed and
is rapidly approaching its close and Gov. Bill Clinton has opened up a
significant delegate lead to the point that it has become mathematically
impossible for any candidate to win the nomination,'' the caucus
resolution said.
	David Wilhelm, Clinton's campaign manager, said the statement
indicates both support for Clinton and discontent with Bush.
	``This display of unity and support is gratifying and shows that
Democrats are coming together behind Bill Clinton,'' Wilhelm said.
