Militants start
shooting spree
in New Delhi,
Punjab state
By DILIP GANGULY
Associated Press Writer
NEW DELHI, India Sikh mili
tants killed 25 people in a massacre
in New Delhi and in attacks in
Punjab state over the weekend,
police said yesterday.
Sikhs in New Delhi killed 12 and
wounded 20 in a shooting spree
Saturday that began at a private,
outdoor birthday party, given for
an Indian youth named Bharat
Behl.
Thirteen other people were shot
dead in attacks in northern Punjab
state.
Radicals waging a guerrilla
campaign for a separate Sikh na
tion in Punjab have been blamed
for more than 400 deaths there this
year.
Police said two men fired auto
matic rifles at the party Saturday
at about 10:45 p.m. in the Greater
Kailash section of South Delhi,
killing five people and wounding 13.
The assailants sped off in a stolen
car and with random bursts of
gunfire killed five people and
wounded six minutes later at three
locations not far from the party,
police said.
They kidnapped three men and
shot them all, killing two of the
hostages and wounding the third,
police added.
Rakesh Behl, who was at the
party, was quoted yesterday in the
Hindu Star Times as saying the
guests first thought they heard
firecrackers, then realized it was
gunfire.
"People started running blindly
. . . (when) 'two terrorists in mus
tard kurta pajama and shirt and
jeans burst in," Behl said.

after Sikh attacks
Sikh radidals in the capital since a
series of explosions killed 87 people
in May 1985.
Police said all the victims in the
capital were Hindus.
Police spokeman Ravi Pawar
said an unknown Sikh group calling
itself the Bhindranwale Tiger
Force claimed responsibility for
the killings in a note left behind in
the stolen car.
The group is named for Jarnail
Singh Bhindranwale, a Sikh radical
killed in the Indian army raid on
the Sikh Golden Temple in Amrit
sar in 1984, Pawar said.

Philly drivers face
high insurance rates
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadel
phians pay some of the highest auto
insurance rates in the country, but
more than half of the cars registered
in the city are uninsured in violation
of state law, according to a published
report.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation says 750,000 private
passengei - r autos are registered in
Philadelphia, according to spokes
man Dan McFadden.
Only 300,000 cars are estimated by
the state Insurance Department to be
insured through the regular insur
ance markets and an additonal 15,000
insured through a state insurance
program for higher risk drivers, The
Philadelphia Inquirer reported in its
editions yesterday.
A 1986 study showed a typical two
car policy for Philadelphians cost $2,-
436 a year, the Inquirersaid..
Repair costs, theft, fraud and unin
sured motorists all contribute to the
city's high premiums, according to
insurance officials.
750,000 autos are
registered in Phila.
300,000 are
estimated to be
insured.
Insurance officials said they aren't
sure exactly how much uninsured
motorists add to the cost of auto
insurance in Philadelphia.
"Everybody pays for the uninsured
motorists," said Lee Felbinger, a
spokesman for the Insurance' Feder
ation of Pennsylvania, a trade group.
The Financial Responsibility Law
of 1984 . abolished the state's no-fault
insurance system . that required all
drivers to either a carry a minimum
insurance package or present proof
that they had assets to pay off any
judgments against them.
Last year, 27 percent of the acci-
datye sport 0 0 to keep you
collegian 10 • on the ball!
dents reported to Philadelphia police
involved uninsured drivers, McFad
den said. The drivers face having
their property confiscated if found
responsible for damages in an acci
dent, but attorneys and insurance
companies say motorists who drive
without insurance usually own so
little property that the threat of losing
it seems hollow, the newspaper said.
"Approximately 50 percent of the
people driving in Philadelphia who
have accidents have no insurance,"
said attorney Bernard Kubert, who
handles 'many personal-injury cases.
State troopers are authorized to
remove license tags from uninsured
vehicles, but critics say this does not
often take place.
Drivers are not required to carry
collision insurance, but uninsured
motorists are adding to the cost of
collision coverage„ officials said. A
car owner struck by an uninsured
driver may have no means of collect
ing for damages except through the
collision coverage, causing higher
premiums.
The Inquirer, citing statistics from
State Farm Insurance Cos., said colli
sion claims are filed nearly twice as
often in Philadelphia• than anywhere
else in the state.
"It is a monstrous problem in Phil
adelphia, not only the uninsured but
also the underinsured," said James
A. O'Brien Jr., director of manage
ment planning for State Farm, the
state's largest auto insurer.
Philadelphia drivers also filed sev
en times as many uninsured-underin
sured motorist coverage claims as
the state average, according to Ger
ald R. Binsintine,- actuary and Penn
sylvania pricing manager 'for
Nationwide Insurance, the state's
second largest insurer.
—PennDOT
One Philadelphia motorist, Joanne
Keating, was involved in an accident
two months ago that she says wasn't
her fault. But because. the other driv
er didn't have any insurance, she
must pay $2,400 to repair the rental
car she was driving.
"She (the other driver) has paid
nothing," Keating said.

Proxmire awards Golden Fleece
By DAVE SKIDMORE
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON A room within the White
House complex that was trimmed in gold leaf
and given a six-figure restoration job yesterday
won Sen. William Proxmire's Golden Fleece
Award for government waste.
The award went to the Executive Office of the
President for "spending $611,623 to gild one
medium-sized room" in the Old Executive Office
Building, a historic Victorian-era structure
where many top administration officials, includ
ing Budget Director James Miller, have offices.
As part of the continuing interior renovation of
the building, Proxmire said the White House

Before police withdrew, running
battles went on for hours yesterday in
the narrow streets around the cathe

headquarters.
Police hurled tear gas whenever
people tried to gather to demonstrate.
Some students fought back, hurling
firebombs and rocks, but most people
did not try to fight.

John Paul's third to his homeland
since his 1978 elevation to the papacy.
"Let the word solidarity flow from
our Polish soil with all those people
who still suffer racism, neo-coloni

persecution and intolerance," a grim
faced Jaruzelski added.
•The pontiff had frequently praised
Solidarity the banned labor feder

The pope harkened back to the
theme of greater respect for human
rights during his nationally broadcast
farewell address.
"Our homeland must strive so that
human life in Poland becomes more
and more humane and worthy of
man," •he said.. "
He listed "four fundamental human
rights" for which Poland must aim to
achieve true peace: "the right to

As the next step in the development of coal
water fuel technology, a boiler larger than the one
now used in the laboratory will be installed into the
University's steam system, Jenkins said, adding
that the construction and installation will occur
later this year.
He said the project will demonstrate the use of
coal-water fuel on an institutional scale.

helmeted riot police, who wore green
combat uniforms and gas masks and
stood behind shields. Some officers
accepted the peace offerings or allow
ed the women to stick the flowers into
their tunics. Others refused.
Many people caught by pollee dur
ing the clashes were taken away and
a number of demonstrators were
injured. Officials declined to give any
figures.
Information Minister Lee Woong
hee came to inspect the scene, but
airport interrupted the pope's ad
dress with applause. Jaruzelski's
speech was cooly received.
Earlier, the pope led a massive
procession through downtown War
saw, kneeling before the Holy Eu
charist on a specially equipped
mobile platform.
Nearby, a line of police rushed
toward a separate crowd of 2,000
Solidarity supporters, breaking up a
planned march and detaining at least
five people, witnesses said.
"No freedom without Solidarity!,"
they had chanted, following the main
procession. "Long live the pope!"
Earlier, the pontiff told the nation's
bishops at their Warsaw headquar
ters that Poland and the Vatican
should establish diplomatic relations.
Such a move would make Poland,
which is 94 percent Catholic, the only
Soviet bloc nation with diplomatic
ties to the Holy See.

the government's 'housekeeping agency, to re
store a room first used more than 100 years ago
by the Secretary of the Navy.
"What did this one-room renovation cost?"
Proxmire, D-Wis., asked. "Not $lOO,OOO, nor even
$400,000, but a staggering $611,623 was shelled out
by the taxpayers."
"This office is now used for 'ceremonial func
tions and conferences' but remained unused as of
mid-April," he said in a statement.
Proxmire did not dispute the historical value of
the room, which has been occupied by 15 secre
taries of the Navy, by President Hoover for four
months in 1930, by Gen. John "Blackjack" Per
shing from 1921 through 1947 and by every vice
president except Hubert Humphrey since 1947.
"But like so many government programs, this
can be substituted for natural gas or oil or used in
conjunction with either fuel," Jenkins said. "If
various types of Pennsylvania coal can be used in
technology, then customers need not worry about
a reliable supply of fuel, because the coal reserves
will last well into the future."
For this reason, Jenkins foresees the possibility
of a long-term solution for stabilizing the declining
coal industry.
However, Gordon said he believes that funda
mental problems in using coal will prevent a
massive recovery of the coal industry.

the crowds around the cathedral.
Witnesses said Vice Home Minister
Lee Sang-hee, who also visited the
area, was kicked and punched before
some students, shouting "No vio

crowd.
Police with shields, tear gas rifles
and grenades guarded many down
town intersections.
Students at the cathedral were
clearly puzzled when the police sud-
was the Baltic port city of Gdansk,
where Solidarity was born in a wave
of 1980 strikes. Martial law crushed it
in December 1981 and the union feder
ation was banned before martial law
was lifted in July 1983.
John Paul started yesterday with
an emotional visit to the stone grave
of the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko, the
pro-Solidarity priest beaten to death
by government security agents in
1984.
He then headed to Defilad Square,
filled with more than 1 million people
for a Mass.
There he condemned the "pro
grammed atheism" of many Commu
nist countries.
"But none of this can change in any
way the fact of Christ," he added.

renovation soon went from cost-conscious mod
esty to big-spending opulence," he said.
Ron Tammen, a Proxmire spokesman who
examined the room, said, "It's beautifully
done."
The room includes gilt trim on the ceiling, and
Proxmire's office did not get a breakdown speci
fying the cost of the gold-leaf work, Tammen
said.
White House spokesman Ben Jarratt disputed
Proxmire's figure. He said the historic renova
tion, which included restoration of the floor and
wall and ceiling decorations in addition to the gilt
work, cost $396,454. •
It included an unexpected expenditure of $120,-
000 to correct faulty work done by a previous
contractor, he said.

The pope, who began his Polish
visit last Monday, climbed onto the
mobile platform that took him and
Polish primate Cardinal Jozef Glemp
from Defilad Square to Warsaw's Old
Town.
An estimated 200,000 people walked
shoulder to shoulder behind them
singing the religious hymn "Oh, Love
that Cannot Be Expressed."
Entire families, priests, the elderly
and even people on crutches joined in
the slow procession.
Solidarity supporters said former

riers, and reasonable environmental restrictions
are necessary," Gordon said.
Jenkins said the poisonous residues resulting
from the burning of coal can be prevented from
entering the atmosphere without too much difficul
ty. He added that the strip and deep mining
methods used to recover coal are environmentally
manageable to certain degrees, although they do
carry the price tags that Gordon mentioned.
Gordon describes coal-water fuel technology as
a modest research effort probably well worth
taking. "(However,) the resuscitation of an indus
try of the past is unlikely," he said.
