China’s Deng leaves
after affirming congress.
4, BEIJING — Top leader Cjng
Xiaoping resigned in triumph Sunday
from the Communist Party’s govern
ing body, leaving younger officials to
carry on his drive to shake up the
stagnant bureaucracy and replace
dogma with production.
The 83-year-old Deng left, as he
had promised, at the end of a party
congress that affirmed his policies and
forced into retirement all the leading
conservatives who had sought to slow
his reform.
The congress appointed a younger,
streamlined party Central Committee
that is expected today to confirm
Deng’s protege, premier Zhao
Ziyang, as party general secretary.
It also is expected to keep Deng on
as head of the party’s key Central
Military Commission, from which he
likely will exert considerable influ
ence on party decisions. The congress
amended the party constitution so
Deng can remain on the commission
even though he resigned from the
Central Committee.
Foreign reporters allowed into the
final 20 minutes of the eight-day 13th
National Party Congress at the Great
Hall of the People saw Deng watch
serenely as nearly 2,000 delegates
raised their hands in unanimous ap
proval of a report that summarized and
defended his reform policies.
Five leading conservatives who
wanted to brake Deng’s reforms and
curb the influence of western liberal
ideas will not return to the committee.
Cubans, Soviets air economic differences
WASHINGTON — U.S. officials
say they are surprised and intrigued by
a rare public airing of differences
between Cuba and the Soviet Union,
over Cuba’s economic policies.
The two countries have been on
intimate terms for most of the past two
decades, and the differences generally
have been subtle, discernible only to
seasoned analysts.
An article in late August in the
Soviet “New Timcs”magazincchidcs
Cuba for excessive defense spending,
non-repayment of foreign debts, con
tinued rationing of food, inadequate
housing and other perceived deficien
cies.
The Cuban response, which ap
peared in a recent edition of the same
publication, accuses the writer of the
first article of a lack of balance and
logic and said the writer had no busi
ness assailing Cuba’s productivity
levels in view of the Soviets’ own y
difficulties in that area.

Scandal emerges over French sales to Iran
PARIS—A scandal that some reports are calling the French Irangate
is brewing over the sale of munitions to Iran by a French arms
manufacturer with the alleged complicity of high Defense Ministry
officials.
According to articles published over the weekend in the local press,
an investigating magistrate in Paris is seeking to have a Defense
Ministry report on the sales declassified so charges can be brought
against several people.
Ginsburg said to have had cable TV favoritism
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg
had almost $ 140,000 invested in a cable television corporation when he
“personally handled” a Justice Department effort to have the court
extend First Amendment protection to cable operators.
An administration source close to Ginsburg said Sunday that
Ginsburg apparently did not raise the possibility of staying out of the
case with Justice Department superiors or with agency ethics officers.
He said Ginsburg discussed the situation with a subordinate.

Tots make perfume hit list
PARIS — Top-quality perfume sales
arc stagnant, and the freshest ideas in fine
fragrance include reaching out to new
customers from babies to the unperfumed
masses of the Third World.
Leaders in the $8 billion perfume
industry met recently for the third bien
nial International Perfume Conference, a
succession of slide shows, throbbing
music, statistical reports and discussions
on the future of smelling good.
“Perfume for babies — that seems
crazy,” said Philippe Maubcrt of the
French fragrance company Robcrtel.
"But what happens when a baby is
born?” he asked. “You give a present.
Why should it be a shirt? Why shouldn’t
it be a bottle of perfume?” -*•’
North America and Europe still ac
count for 78 percent of the perfume
industry’s sales. The world outside of
those two areas accounts from 87 percent
of the population, but its’ people each
spend only 30 cents per year on perfume.
