Conservatives victors in Canada
By CHARLES CAMPBELL
Associated Press Writer
TORONTO Brian Mulroney led Canada's
Progressive Conservative Party to a landslide
victory over Liberal Prime Minister John Turner
in yesterday's elections, giving them a parlia
mentary majority for the first time in 26 years.
Mulroney won election to the Parliament easi
ly in northeastern Quebec, and his Conservative
colleagues won or lead in more than 140 other
districts, with votes still uncounted in the west
ern provinces, where the Conservatives are
traditionally strong.
In the four east coast provinces, the Conserva
tives defeated three incumbent Liberal Cabinet
ministers and took 25 of the 32 seats, compared to
only 13 in the 1980 election.
The Conservatives also made sweeping gains
in Liberal strongholds in Ontario and Quebec,
guaranteeing a majority of the 282 seats in
Parliament for Prime Minister-elect Mulroney.
Both national television television networks pro
jected that the Conservatives would win close to
200 seats.
The Conservatives last won a similar sweep in
1958, under John Diefenbaker. The Liberals have

MANILA, Philippines Relief
agencies said yesterday that Ty
phoon Ike killed at least 476 people
in the southern Philippines, leaving
200,000 homeless, and President
Ferdinand E. Marcos appealed for
national unity in the face of the
disaster.
One local official claimed as
many as 3,000 people died in his
province of Surigao del Norte alone
in the worst typhoon -to hit the
country in 12 years. But the official
death toll for all affected areas,
based on reports from relief agen
cies, stood at 476.
Published reports put at $lll mil

Philippines on Sunday and Monday
with 114 mph winds, and then blew
itself out over the South China Sea.

SYDNEY, Australia A recommendat
ion this week that two frozen embryos be
destroyed was just a small part of a study
intended to help society deal with the legal
and moral problems posed by creation of
life in a laboratory.
The report paves the way for what offi
cials say will be the first uniform set of laws
on test-tube children.
On Monday, officials announced that a
committee of scholars had recommended
the destruction of two frozen embryos left in
limbo at Queen Victoria Medical Center in
Melbourne by the death of a wealthy Los
Angeles couple who had been trying to have
a test-tube baby.
But the study, two years in preparation,
goes beyond that issue, and suggests ways
for society to catch up with science's ability

"There is no room here for petty

political or otherwise," Marcos
said.

country is in a political and econom
ic crisis arising from the August
1983 assassination of Benigno Aqui

led to a flight of capital from the
country and calls for Marcos to
resign.
Marcos will preside at a Cabinet
meeting today. to gauge the destruc
tion and draw up measures to aid
the victims in the central and south
ern regions.
He spoke•as government workers,
private volunteers and military
personnel stepped up rescue efforts
in ravaged provinces.

Surigao City, .as saying the death

"It is high time the law caught up with
science," said Jim Kennan yesterday. He is
attorney general of the state of Victoria,
which appointed the committee.
"We were trying to get a balance of
scientific information . . . social and psy
chological research and the broader views
of the community itself," the commmittee
spokeswoman, Eva Learner, told The Asso
ciated Press on yesterday.

21 years, including 15 years under Pierre Elliott
Trudeau.
With the western provinces still to be heard
from, the Conservatives were getting 52 peicent
of the national vote, to 34 percent for the Liberals
and 12 percent for the New Democrats, Canada's
socialist party.
Mulroney, who promised to revive the Canadi
an economy and improve relations with the
United States, cast his ballot at the school he
attended in the isolated papermill town of Baie
Comeau, Quebec.
"It's a very beautiful day for voting, a superb
day," said Mulroney, a 45-year-old electrician's
son who later became president of a large mining
company.
"I want you to know that I went to this school,"
he said several times to different people as he
went in to vote. "And you are looking at a model
student."
Turnei, who has been in office only since June
30, when Trudeati stepped down, watched the
results in the west coast city of Vancouver,
where he was a candidate for Parliament in a
suburban district. His aides said he would not
comment on the results until the vote from that

"could reach 3,000," including 1,000
dead in his provincial capital. The
agency did not say what Navarro
based his figures on. Surigao City is
450 miles southeast of Manila.
The mayor said city morgues ran
out of coffins and embalming fluid
and bodies were buried immedi
ately to prevent epidemics.
Reports compiled from relief
agencies, including the Red Cross,
the Social Welfare Ministry and the
Office of Civil Defense put the toll in
the province, on southern Mindanao
island, at 305.
Other deaths recorded on Minda
nao were 29 in Agusan del Norte
province and six in Misamis Orien
tal province, the agencies said.
The other deaths mostly occurred
on the islands of Negros, Cebu,
Leyte and Bohol, with scattered
deaths also in Camiguin and in the
Aklan area of Panay island,_ all in
the central Visayas region, the
agencies said.
The typhoon toll was the highest

The committee, headed by legal expert
Professor Louis Waller, came out in favor of
in vitro fertilization and freezing and stor
ing embryos. Researchers say freeiing
means several eggs can be removed from a
woman to be fertilized and some saved for
later attempts if the first effort at impreg
nation fails.
But the committee said frozen embryos
should be destroyed if a couple dies or
separates without having given instructions
on what to do in such an event.
"We decided that embryos left in this way
should not just be left in storage they
should be accorded the respect of being
allowed to cease," Learner said.

Ed Broadbent, leader of the left-leaning New
Democratic Party, voted in the Oshawa, Ontario;

1968. •
Like Mulroney, Turner pledged to improve ties
with the United States, the only country with
which Canada shares a border. Relations were
often strained under Trudeau, who was an advo
cate of increased dialogue with Third World
countries and called for "taking 'chances for
peace" in East-West relations.
Mulroney said he would give the Americans
the "benefit of the doubt" on foreign policy
questions.
The Tory candidate also promised to find about
$3 billion for new projects to boost the economy in
the next 2 1 / 2 years, without increasing the deficit,
raising taxes or cutting Canada's social pro
grams, which he called a "sacred trust."

Soviet Uhion blamed
for postponed visit
By SUSAN J. SMITH
Associated Press Writer
BONN, West Germany East
Ger Man leader Erich Honecker
yesterday called off plans for an
unprecedented visit to West Ger
many, and high-ranking Bonn offi
cials said Soviet pressure caused
Honecker to postpone the trip,.
Both Bonn and East Berlin took
pains to indicate the visit was an
indefinite postponement rather
than cancellation. No East Ger
man president has visited West
Germany since Germany was di
vided into two states following
World War
The West German government
avoided publicly linking Moscow
to East Germany's decision, but
officials privately said there was
no question that Soviet disappro
val was the main reason.
Moscow in recent months has
conducted a blistering media cam
paign against West Germany,
claiming a militaristic Bonn wants
to "liquidate" and "undermine"
its Communist East German
neighbor.
"Of course that (Soviet pres
sure) is the main reason," one
high-ranking Bonn source told The
Associated Press. "The other rea
sons given are just gloss.

"The East Germans have
worked with us for months to plan
the details of the visit," said the
source, who spoke on condition he
not be identified.
East Germany, a hard-line
member of the Soviet-led Warsaw
Pact, is a staunch Kremlin ally
and has always followed Moscow's
direction on foreign policy. The
warming of relations between
East and West Germany appears
to have caused growing uneasi
ness in the Kremlin.
East Germany's announcement
was a blow to the cf.ialition govern
ment of Christian Democratic
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who
wanted the visit now to crown
months of flourishing relations
between East and West Germany.
Kohl stressed that Honecker is
still welcome, and said'he is "opti
mistic" That detente between the
two countries will continue.
But Bonn officials said they had
no idea when Honecker might re
schedule the trip, which they said
had been set for Sept. 26-29 at East
Germany's suggestion.
Moscow's campaign' against
The committee also decided experimenta
tion should be allowed on embryos up to 14
days old.
"There's no sensory development up to
that point," Learner said.
But embryos should not be produced
solely for experimentation and only surplus
embryos could be used, with parental con
sent.
Surrogate motherhood for pay should be
outlawed, the committee decided. "It's too
complicated legally and we don't believe
the principle of buying and selling children
should be condoned," Ms. Learner said.'
On legal questions, the committee recom
mended all "test-tube" children be treated
as if they were the natural offspring of the
"social parents" the couple who had
arranged for the birth even if donated
sperm and eggs were used.

warned for years that many existing laws

West Germany has escalated as
relations between the two Ger
manys have improved, leading
Bonn officials to believe that old
fears of German reunification and
recent anger over new NATO nu
clear missiles in West Germany_
made Moscow oppose the Honeck
er trip.
In Washington, State Depart
ment spokesman John Hughes im
plied strongly that the United
States believes the Honecker visit
was blocked by the Soviet Union.
He said that while it is impossi
ble to provide a judgment without
knowing the details of the deci
sion, "it is quite clear that the
Soviet Union was skeptical about
such a visit taking place at this
time."
He was asked whether the
cancellation of the Honecker visit
represents a further cooling of
East-West relations.
"I think you would have to look
at the motivation of Mr. Honecker
and ,look at whatever pressures
there may have been on him,"
Hughes replied.
East Germany blamed "public
controversy" in West Germany
for scrapping the visit, which had
been announced by West German
officials but never officially con
firmed by East Germany.
The official East German news
agency ADN delivered the verdict
in a vaguely worded, one-par
agraph report quoting East Ber
lin's representative in Bonn,
Ewald Moldt.
ADN quoted Moldt as saying
that remarks by some West Ger
mans, especially top conservative
parliamentarian Alfred Dregger,
were "unworthy and detrimental"
and "absolutely unusual for rela
tions between two sovereign
states."
However, Moldt also hinted that
the trip might still be made at a
later date. "Much is still open,"
ADN quoted him as, saying.
Dregger, head of the Christian
Democrats' parliamentary fac
tion, told the Hamburg daily Die
Welt Aug. 23 that West Germany's
future "does not depend on wheth
er Honecker pays us the honor of a
visit."
Dregger issued a statement
Tuesday saying the East German
decision "comes as no surprise"
but did not mention his controver
sial remark, which he previously
described as "ironic,"
had been outdated by in vitro fertilization. A
basic queStion, they said, was if embryos
conceived outside the womb were a form of
property with no rights, as existing law
suggests.
Lerner said the guidelines would, above
all, ensure the legality and rights of "test
tube" children. "We've really legitimated
them," she said.
The committee held public meetings, met
dozens of interested people and studied a
vast amount of scientific and technical
literature, Learner said. "We gauged a
level of general acceptability . ~" she
said. "We accept the report is' not going to
please everybody."
Kennan said there would be three months
of public debate on the recommendations.
But he said the proposed guidelines would
be the foundation of new laws to be enacted
by the Victoria state legislature and would
resolve many issues.

More counties join teacher strike
Teachers in Lawrence and Berks counties yesterday joined
other union members on strike in Allegheny County, raising to 7,-
350 the number of Pa. students barred from classes by labor

Scialabba, president of the striking New Castle. Federation of
Teachers, said after negotiation ended after two hours Monday.
New Castle's 275 teachers Friday rejected proposed raises of
$5,100 over three years. They wanted up to $B,OOO over three years.

Housing increasingly less affordable
WASHINGTON (AP) Housing became less affordable for the
typical American family for the third straight month in July, the
National Association of Realtors said yesterday.
Each month the association calculates how large a mortgage
loan a family at the median income would qualify for, and then
compares that figure with the cost of a median-priced home. The
result is called the affordability index.
In July, the index stood at 83.3, down by 2.3 points. That meant a
typical family earning $25,583 had just 83.3 percent of the income
necessary to qualify for an 80 percent mortgage on a home with a
$74,700 pricetag, the median.
The realtors said more than 33 percent of the homes sold in July
went for prices below $60,000.
$4O million ticket seller wins too
CHICAGO (AP) Donald Pollak was afraid something had
happened to his family when his name was announced over the
public address system during a Chicago White Sox baseball game.
But when he called home, he learned his drug store had the good
fortune to sell the Lotto ticket that won Saturday's $4O million
drawing meaning.he will pocket a $400,000 bonus.
"I couldn't believe it," said Pollak, 50, of suburban Glenview.
"Tears came to my eyes."
"My wife said 'You better come home because people have been
calling all day,"' he told reporters.
The winning ticket was bought at Pollak's Blatt Drugs on the
Northwest Side during last Thursday's lunch hour by Frank .
WittkOwski for his son Michael, 28, a printer. The younger
Wittkowski was on vacation in Wisconsin last week but told his
father to buy some tickets and gave him the numbers to play.
Wittkowski, who beat 3.5 million-to-one oddg, will collect the
biggest lottery prize in history at a rate of $2 million a year for 20
years.
Pollak will get his $400,000 in one check in about six weeks,
lottery officials have assured him.

Chernenko to appear in public
MOSCOW (AP) Soviet leader Konstantin U. Chernenko not
seen in public for nearly two months and rumored to be ailing is
expected to publicly present awards to three Soviet cosmonauts
today, according to Soviet journalist Viktor Louis.
A bylined story by Louis appeared yesterday in the Standard of
London saying Chernenko was expected to present medals to the
cosmonauts. Telephoned at his home in Moscow, Louis told told
The Associated Press that Chernenko "is expected" to make the
presentations.
It would be Chernenko's first appearance in public since he met
U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar on July 13. Two
days later, the official news agency Tass reported Chernenko had
left the capital for his summer vacation.
Louis, who is considered - to have close ties with official Soviet
circles, would say only that an awards ceremony for three
cosmonauts of a July space mission was scheduled and that
Chernenko was expected to be there.
No information has been issued publicly by the Soviets about an
awards ceremony.
Afghan resistance claims bombings
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) Afghan resistance sources
yesterday claimed they followed up the bombing of Kabul's
international airport by bombing three hotels and a movie theater
in the Afghan capital.
The sources, based in Pakistan, had no information on damage
or casualties from the four other blasts they said were set off to
demonstrate the Kabul regime's "weak control" of the city.
In New Delhi, Western diplomats reported Tuesday that hun
dreds of people have been killed in a new round of heavy fighting
between guerrillas and Soviet and Afghan forces. Two Western
embassies in Kabul reported that at least 100 Soviet soldiers had
been killed in a guerrilla ambush last week.
The blast at Kabul airport on Friday killed at least 30 people and
injured "several hundred," according to reports from Western
diplomats in Islamabad and New Delhi, and others.
Reports from two Western embassies in Kabul said at least 100
Soviet troops were killed last week in a guerrilla ambush on a
Soviet outpost south of the Salang Pass on the main highway to the
Soviet Union.
Dali remains in serious condition
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Surrealist painter Salvador Dali,
hospitalized for burns covering 18 percent of his body, remains in
serious condition, doctors said Tuesday.
The 80-year-old Dali was taken to El Pilar clinic Friday, one day
after a fire broke out in his bedroom at his home, Pubol Castle, in
northeastern Spain. Friends attributed the fire to an electrical
short-circuit.
The painter had at first refused to leave the castle, where his
Russian-born wife Gala is buried.
Dali's doctors said the artist is also being treated for malnu
trition. •
He has a respiratory condition and has been in frail health in
recent years.
