Kohl Urges Confederation Of 2 Germanies BONN, West Germany (AP) *Chancellor Helmut Kohl today announced a plan to draw the two Germanys into an informal confederation that eventually would lead to reunification. West Germany's major opposition party also called for unity. Kohl's 30-minute address to Parliament was the most thorough delineation of his vision of eliminating the partition imposed at the end of World War II. In East Germany, hundreds of thousands of people took to ,the streets in five cities Monday night, pressuring the ruling Communists
to keep their reform promises in what for many h a s become a weekly ritual. One of the biggest cheers among the 200,000 demonstrators in Leipzig came when one speaker called for a referendum on German unity. East Germany's Communist leaders oppose a reunification. In a 10-point plan, Kohl proposed steps be taken to "develop confederative structures between the two states in Germany in order to create a federation, a federal order." He stressed, however, that such measures could only be undertaken
if there are truly free elections in East Germany that include nonsocialist parties. East Germany's new Communist leaders have said free elections could be held as early as next fall. Kohl also said steps toward German reunification must be linked to improved East-West relations and a new European order based on cooperation, economic integration and greater freedom of movement. "The future structure of Germany must fit into the whole architecture of Europe as a whole," he said. The West Germany leader sug-
gested joint consultative, committees with East Germany be created at some point, including a joint parliamantary panel. "New forms of institutional cooperation could be created and further developed in stages. Such a coming together is in the interest of the continuation of German history," Kohl said. Kohl said West Germany is prepared to offer "concrete assistance" to East Gertmany. Earlier, Hans-Jochen Vogel, the leader of the opposition Social Democrats, proposed a confederation between the two German
states as an interim step toward unity. Vogel also insisted German unity come as part of the process of overall European integration. Vogel used t h e word "unity" rather than formal "reunification" in his speech to Parliament.
In the past, the Social Democrats have cautioned against hastening toward German unity or reunification, while some in the leftist party have flatly opposed it. The ZDP television network said Kohl gave no dates for the completion of his plan in an earlier talk with governing party lawmakers. Under the pressure of a public
demanding a n end to 40 years of authoritarian one-party rule, East Germany has undergone dizzying changes since hard-line Communist Erich Honecker was ousted Oct. 18 and replaced by Egon Krenz. Kohl has previously said he envisions an eventually reunited Germany "under the roof of a united Europe, and not one that is at odds with its neighbors and other countries. , The East Berlin leadership rejects reunification, although Communist leaders there have expressed interest recently in a vaguely defined confederation between the two states.
Czech Premier Vows Coalition
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP) — The Communist premier met with opposition leaders today and promised to push for a coalition government and elimination of the Communists' 40-year monopoly on power, a federal minister said. X1.ad1sJajr.4d.ameQ met for two hours with members of the Civic Forum group, who were fortified by a nationwide demonstration Monday against authoritarian rule that saw millions of people pack city centers. Today, after 11 straight days of huge pro-democracy rallies, cities were quiet as Civic Forum said it was time to take the fight off the streets and to the negotiating table. Marian Calfa, a federal government minister who was a t the meeting, told reporters Adamec agreed to ask President Gustav Hu-

Tarbell Pleads Guilty To Gambling Count AUBURN, N.Y.

Bush Will Discuss Troop Cutbacks WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush will protest to Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev during their weekend summit against the "outrageous behavior" of Moscow's Central American allies, but also will be prepared to discuss deeper troop cutbacks in Europe, officials say. The subject of Central America was assured a more prominent
place in Bush's talks with Gorbachev on Saturday and Sunday after the discovery of a shipment of surface-to-air missiles reportedly sent by Soviet-backed Nicaragua to leftist guerrillas in El Salvador. State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler on Monday called t h e arms shipment a "dangerous escalation of conflict" in El Salvador.
White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said Bush "will press the Soviets to take action to ensure that their allies cease this outrageous behavior." Bush and Gorbachev will meet on warships in the Mediterranean off the coast of Malta primarily to talk about the rapid pace of change in Eastern Europe as hard-line communist regimes are collapsing.
although authorities carried a warrant for his arrest. The confrontation led to a twoweek standoff between the armed Mohawks and authorities. Violence between pro- and anti-gambling factions has sprung up sporadically on the reservation since the raid. Tarbell and Rudolph Hart surrendered to authorities four days later, saying they did not learn of the warrants for their arrest until the day after the raid. They delayed immediately turning themselves in because they were involved in discussions between the anti- and progambling factions on the reservation, according to Vavonese. Cases against three other Mohawks already have been resolved. James J. Burns, 31, the owner of the Silver Dollar Casino, pleaded guilty last week to possessing slot machines within Indian country, while a jury last Monday acquitted William Sears, 40, operator of Wild Bill's Grocery and Deli, of the same charge.
CHICAGO (AP) — A girl who received part of h e r mother's liver in the nation's first such living-donor transplant was returned to the operating room early today because of what a hospital 'official said was minor internal bleeding. Doctors involved in the transplant predicted success for Mondays operations on 21-month-old Alyssa Smith and her mother, Teresa. The procedure could relieve a severe shortage of organs for children, specialists say. During the night the surface of Alyssa's new liver began to bleed, a complication t h a t occurs in about 30 percent of all liver transplants, said John Easton, a spokesman for University of Chicago Medical Center. She was returned to the operating room about 4:40 a.m. and was still there more than three hours later, he said. "It's something they should be able to control," Easton said. Both mother and daughter had been in critical condition after Monday's 14-hour dual operations. But Mrs. Smith improved overnight and her condition was upgraded to fair, Easton said. Monday's, procedure was complicated when Mrs. Smith's spleen was damaged and had to be removed, but doctors predicted she would fully recover.

sak to appoint a new government that will include "non-party representatives, representatives of o t h e r political p a r t i e s , and Communists." Calfa said the new Cabinet would be made up largely of "experts and professionals" and did not say if opposition leaders would have a place in it. He also said the federal government would propose to Parliament constitutional changes that would eliminate provisions guaranteeing the Communist Party a leading role. Requirements that education must be on Marxist-Leninist lines also must be dropped, Calfa said, and the government will ask that provisions binding allied political parties to t h e Communists be dropped from the constitution. Until now, these parties have been docile allies of the Communists. In recent weeks, however, they have played a much more independent role, .with the Socialist Party playing the most prominent part.
