	LANSING, Mich. (UPI) -- Michigan voters will have the chance in
November to register their feelings about Congress and their state
lawmakers with a ballot question that would limit politicians' time in
office.
	The bipartisan Board of State Canvassers, faced with a panoply of
proposals for the ballot, unanimously decided Monday to place the
question before voters. Backers, who presented petitions with 256,457
signatures of registered voters to the elections panel, say public
disgust following the House check-kiting scandal and the Senate's
Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination fiasco makes the proposal an
easy sell.
	``There are some 45 states that currently have some action going on
regarding term limits,'' said Dick Jacobs of Holland, a former
Libertarian candidate for Michigan governor and an activist in national
term limit groups. ``What is happening in Congress with the check-kiting
and the Thomas hearings, I think all that indicates that, hey, we're
tired of government as (it) is and we're looking to getting back into a
position where we can get back to a citizen-type Legislature, both at
the state and federal level, and get back to some common-sense
government.''
	The term limit ballot question would amend the Michigan Constitution
to:
	--limit members of Michigan's House delegation to three two-year terms
during any 12-year period,
	--limit Michigan's U.S. Senators to two six-year terms during any 24-
year period,
	--limit the state's elected officers of the executive branch -- the
governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and attorney general --
each to two four year terms,
	--limit members of the state House to three two-year terms and members
of the Michigan Senate to two four-year terms.
	Under the proposal, the clock would start on politicians in 1994,
when all state and federal elected officials would be counted as serving
their first term.

	JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (UPI) -- Following her separation from
African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela and renewed allegations
of criminal wrongdoing, Winnie Mandela announced Wednesday she was
resigning as head of the ANC social services department.
	``I have asked the ANC to relieve me of my duties as the appointed
head of the department of social welfare as soon as a successor can take
my place,'' Mrs. Mandela told a news conference in Johannesburg.
	``I have taken this step because I consider it to be in the best
interest of the ANC, whose cause and policies I will support until the
end of my life,'' she said.
	A storm burst around Mrs. Mandela in the past two weeks. Monday,
Nelson Mandela announced he was separating from her after 33 years of
marriage, giving no reasons. Almost simultaneously, three co-defendants
of Mrs. Mandela's in a kidnapping trial last year said the facts
accepted by a South African court were wrong.
	Mrs. Mandela, 57, got six years in jail last July for her part in the
kidnapping and beating of four black youths in 1988. Five of those years
were handed out for kidnapping, and only one for being an accessory to
assault.
	But Mrs. Mandela's driver and others alleged later they perjured
themselves at her trial, saying she was actively involved in the attacks
on the youths, whom she accused of having homosexual relations with a
white churchman.
	Nelson Mandela made clear Monday he was not separating from his wife
because of these allegations. An appeal is still pending, but political
analysts have said Mrs. Mandela's delicate legal position is potentially
embarassing for the ANC.
	Mrs. Mandela denied the new allegations Wednesday but said she was
resigning because the accusations made her position -- and that of the
ANC -- difficult.
	She said the accusations were the work of those seeking to undermine
both her and the ANC.
	``Their campaign of vilification has created a difficult situation
for the ANC, my husband as its president, and myself,'' she said.
	Mrs. Mandela was the first black South African to qualify, in the
1950s, as a medical social worker. She married Nelson Mandela in 1958.

	KADOKA, S.D. (UPI) -- Ed McMahon would be announcing ``Heeeere's
Johnny'' at the White House if a tongue-in-cheek campaign begun by a
South Dakota rancher gets off the ground.
	Gene Williams said he has heard from people as far away as Boston,
San Diego and New Orleans since he began his campaign to draft the king
of late night television into the presidential race.
	While he has heard from radio stations across the country, Williams
said he has not heard from Johnny Carson personally on whether he would
be interested in running for the White House, with sidekick McMahon as
his running mate.
	Williams, who wants Carson and McMahon to run on the Peacock Party
ticket, said the ``Tonight Show'' host is likely biding his time,
concerned he might have to give other candidates equal time on his
television show.
	Carson is stepping down as host of the long-running NBC show at the
end of the season and will be succeeded by comedian Jay Leno.
	Williams said an informal survey he conducted by talking to tourists
at a drug store indicated widespread support for Carson.
	People realize the draft effort is humorous, Williams said, adding 
``but the rest of the campaign is more humorous than this.''

	WASHINGTON (UPI) -- President Bush, battered by reports of White House
disarray, delivered another weekly radio address Saturday to promote his
administration -- this time on the emotion-laced issue of welfare reform.
	Bush, who cleared the way Friday for Wisconsin to implements its
welfare program as a model for the nation, said, ``We want a welfare
system that breaks the cycle of dependency ... before poverty becomes a
family legacy.''
	``Our goal is to build a system of welfare that will encourage self-
respect, build strength of character, and develop to the fullest each
individual's potential,'' the president said.
	On Friday, Bush granted Wisconsin a waiver from federal welfare
regulations so it could promptly enact its so-called bridefare
initiative.
	The plan will partially cap benefits for single mothers with more
than one child, but increase payments if she married. There are also
requirements for parents to attend parenting and sex education classes,
as well as provisions that would make it more financially attractive for
them to get a job.
	The president said he was not prepared to offer any proposed federal
welfare reforms, but encouraged states to seek their own changes and to
examine the Wisconsin plan for possible assistance.
	In his pretaped radio address, Bush said, ``At my direction the
federal goverment waved outdated rules to allow Wisconsin to try a new
kind of welfare reform (that) recognizes the importance of personal
responsibility, respect, independence.''
	Bush had given weekend radio addresses from the White House before,
but he began them on a regular basis last month in an effort to better
get out his message and to counter reports of a White House in election-
year gridlock.

	JERUSALEM (UPI) -- Labor Party leader Yitzhak Rabin had a wide lead
over Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of the governing Likud Party in a
Gallup Poll published Friday, as campaigning for the June 23 national
elections started to heat up.
	Another poll published in the daily Yediot Aharonot showed Labor
winning nine more seats in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, than Likud,
but neither party winning a majority.
	The telephone survey of 503 likely voters conducted by Gallup Israel
found that 34 percent favored Rabin to be the country's next leader as
opposed to 15 percent for Shamir. In third place with 8 percent was
Shimon Peres, whom Rabin defeated for Labor Party leader in February,
followed by Deputy Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with 5 percent.
	Shamir, the hard-line Likud chief who succeeded the late Menachem
Begin as prime minister in 1983, has been hurt by his failure to obtain
$10 billion in loan guarantees from the United States to help settle
Soviet immigrants and from open feuding with his foreign minister, David
Levy.
	Levy threatened two weeks ago to resign his post because of perceived
slights from Shamir, but the two patched up their differences when the
prime minister promised Levy he would remain as foreign minister if
Likud wins in June.
	But the renewed popularity of Rabin, a former prime minister forced
to resign from office in 1977 because of a financial scandal involving
his wife's U.S. bank account, has made Shamir's re-election far from
certain.
	The Yediot survey conducted by pollster Mina Tzemach indicated Labor
would win 44 seats out of the 120-seat Knesset, with Likud garnering 35.
The rest would be split among the spectrum of right-wing, left-wing and
religous parties that inevitably align themselves with the larger
parties to form a government coalition.
	According to the survey, neither Labor nor Likud would have enough
support to put together a 61-seat majority in the Knesset, making more
likely a national unity coalition in which the two parties would share
power. Israel has had four such unity governments since its founding in
1948.

	LONDON (UPI) -- Sinn Fein, the political wing of the outlawed Irish
Republican Army, lost its only seat in Britain's Parliament Friday with
the defeat of its leader, Gerry Adams, by moderate nationalist Joe
Hendron.
	Hendron won the Belfast West constituency, where the majority of
voters are Roman Catholics, with a margin of just 589 votes for the
Social Democratic Labor Party, from Adams, president of Sinn Fein.
	Hendron gained 17,415 votes while Adams received 16,826.
	Former Northern Ireland Minister Richard Needham described Adams'
defeat as the best result in the election.
	``The mouthpiece, the trumpet of the IRA, has been silenced,'' he
said. ``I am delighted that the people have voted for peace.''
	The SDLP supports unification of Ireland but strongly opposes
violence as a means of achieving it. Its victory is viewed as a
rejection of the upsurge in violence in Northern Ireland this year.
	Hendron said the people who voted for him had voted to reject the
IRA.
	``We will not put guns in the hands of young people and we will not
encourage them to join paramilitary groups,'' he said, adding that the
party did not want to create ``a generation of killers.''
	Sinn Fein has been trying to oust Britain from its control of the
Northern Ireland province of Ulster with a campaign of violence,
including bomb attacks in mainland Britain. Ulster's Protestant majority
opposes unification with Roman Catholic Ireland.
	The loss of the seat in the British Parliament, held but never used
by Adams, was seen as a blow to the IRA which has waged its bloody
campaign for 20 years.

	NEW YORK (UPI) -- Former California Gov. Edmund ``Jerry'' Brown, his
quest for the Democratic presidential nomination dealt a serious blow in
primaries across the nation Tuesday, vowed to continue his insurgent
campaign, telling supporters, ``we have just begun to fight.''
	Brown, seeking to build a coalition of the politically alientaed and
economically beseiged, was running well behind in the key New York
primary and doing little better in contests in Kansas, Wisconsin and
Minnesota ``beauty contest'' with no delegates at stake.
	Appearing unfazed by his losses, Brown, celebrating his 54th
birthday, reminded supporters at a New York union hall that the campaign
had begun in Philadelphia at the cradle of liberty.
	``It is the premise of this campaign ... that would we recapture that
flame of freedom and independence,'' he said.
	And he brushed off his loss saying that his campaign is ``not to just
play politics, not to get into the same old game of polls and numbers ..
. this is about real change ... it takes a dedication and a commitment
and a moral purpose.''
	Brown also expressed concern about the low turnout.
	``The greatest vote of all tonight was the vote not given,'' he said,
calling such alienation ``dangerous.''
	But, while saying his campaign message was aimed at those voters, he
said he ``needed to live his message more perfectly'' if it was to
overcome the alienation.
	``This campaign is about galvanizing a moral message'' aimed at the
indifference. ``This campaign is the voice of the voiceless. We intend
to represent the unrepresented,'' he said.
	He vowed to continue the campaign, saying he would travel later in
the week to Pennsylvania, Virginia and back to Illinois where he would
march with striking workers at the Caterpiller company in Peoria, Ill.

	WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Sen. John Warner, R-Va., despite pressure from
Republicans in his state, said Wednesday that he will not run for
governor of Virginia but will remain in the Senate.
	In a Senate speech, Warner said, ``After the most careful
consideration, I have concluded I can best serve my state and my country
by staying in the Senate.''
	First elected to the Senate in 1984, the highly popular Warner was
considered the strongest possible Republican challenger for the
governorship in next year's election.
	Gov. Douglas Wilder, the Democratic incumbent, is not elegible to run
for re-election.
	Warner said one of the main reasons for his decision is that the law
is ``unclear'' on whether Warner, should he have been elected governor,
or Wilder would have had the power to fill the vacant Senate seat.
	``There is no certainty that I would have had that appointment,''
Warner said. ``Therefore, Virginia would have been plunged into an
indeterminate period of turmoil.''
	In explaining his decision, Warner also cited his Senate seniority
and his Senate experience and the seat he holds as the ranking
Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
	Warner, 65, does not face re-election until 1996.
