Emergency lifted
CAPE TOWN, South Af.ica -President
P.W. Botha announced
that the ISSday-cld state cf emer
rr.cy imposed to fight anti-apartheid
turmoil in South Africa probably
would be lifted on Friday.
' His announcement Tuesday was
praised by the United States and
was given a cautious welcome from
some South African liberals. But it
provoked expressions of concern
from the largest anti-apartheid
grouping, The United Democratic
Front, that the emergency would be
supplanted by repressive legislation.
Botha also made a new offer of
statehood for Namibia, proposing
an Aug. 1 target date for starting
moves toward the territory's inde
pendence. He made it conditional
on a withdrawal of Cuban troops
from neighboring Angola.
News reports say Waldheim
was member of Hitler groups
VIENNA, Austria A news maga
zine published what it says is a recently
declassified document identifying
former U.N. Secretary-General Kurt
Waldheim as a member of two Nazi
organizations, including Hitler's in
famous security troops.
The New York Times on Tuesday also
said Waldheim was a member of the
groups, and said it obtained docu
ments in Vienna showing he was att
ached to a German army command in
World War II that fought brutal cam
paigns against Yugoslav partisans and
which deported Greek Jews.
Waldheim is campaigning for the
Austrian presidency and is considered
a front-runner with the elections two
months away.

Waldheim as categorically denying ever
belonging to either Nazi organization.
A spokesman for Waldheim, Gerold
Christian, also denied the report, but
told The Associated Press that Wald
heim was a German army officer in the
Balkans in World War II. He said Wald
heim was a translator and was not
involved in any atrocities.
The New York Times quoted Wald
heim as saying in an interview Sunday
that he rode horses with a Nazi student
group "to have some protection" at
school from Nazi persecution.
He was quoted as saying he did not
realize he had been enrolled in the
S.A., or Sturmabteilung, Hitler's brown
shirted security troops. The S.A. later
was eclipsed by the S.S., or Schutzstaf
fel, as Hitler's secret police.
More violence
on West Bank
TEL AVIV, Israel Violence spread
in the occupied territories Tuesday,
two days after an Israeli-appointed
mayor was murdered, but Prime Minis
ter Shimon Peres vowed to continue
easing control over West Bank cities.
Israeli troops fired on a group of
young Palestinians in the market place
at Nablus, whose mayor was assassi
nated Sunday, wounding a 22-year-old
in the leg, military sources reported.
They said the Palestinians had refused
to stop for questioning and some began
throwing stones.
The marketplace is near the spot
where Mayor Zafer al-Masri was shot
Sunday whle walking to the city hall in
Nablus, 30 miles north of Jerusalem.
In occupied Gaza, Palestinian youths
threw a smoke grenade at an Israeli
army jeep patrolling the market of Gaza
City; causing no casualties, and soldi
ers erected roadblocks, the military
sources said.
Soldiers fired on demonstrators
throwing stones Monday at a refugee
camp near Nablus, killing a Palesti
nian man and wounding his son. At
least 50,000 mourners, equivalent to
more than half the city's population,
filled the streets during al-Masri's fun
eral later in the day.
Peres said in a speech to army offic
ers that he intended to pursue his pol
icy of looser control over cities in the
West Bank of the Jordan River, despite
growing domestic criticism.
"We do not want to run the Arabs'
lives. They are trying to describe us as
conquerers. This is not true and we
have no interest in being so," Peres
said, according to a report given by the
prime minister's aides.
"Einstein would have been proud."
