News Digest Candidates make last-ditch pitch CONCORD, N.H. — Vice Presi dent George Bush forecast a win but Sen. Bob Dole showed confidence Monday as the GOP presidential field sprinted for the finish line in a tight New Hampshire primary race. Democrat Michael Dukakis said his expected win might be smaller than predicted. Bush campaigned side by side with former Sen. Barry Goldwater, patron saint of conservatives, as he threw all his campaign could muster into a bid to arrest Dole’s week-long surge and regain his own political footing. One candidate after another posted hopeful predictions of a sur prise when New Hampshire voters render their verdict in the nation’s lead-off primary on Tuesday. “I don’t know where all those political pundits arc today but they ran for cover four years ago and they’re likely to run for cover tomor row,” said former Delaware Gov. Pete du Pont, back in the pack in the GOP race. Rep. Jack Kemp, his GOP candi dacy on the line, held out the hope of a second-place finish that would confound the pollsters. “I’m going to finish in a good competitive third or higher,” he said. Democratic Sen. Paul Simon, also facing tough limes if he falters, said he was sure he’d defeat Rep. Richard Gephardt for second place. Referring to Dukakis’ commanding lead in the polls, he said, “I think there is a possibility of a real surprise coming tomorrow.” Fellow Democrat Bruce Babbitt, far off the pace in the polls, said, “I’m anticipating a strong showing and a surprise but I can’t put a number on it.” Report questions president s integrity Waldheim defies call for resignation VIENNA, Austria — President Kurt Waldheim Monday defied wide spread calls to resign because of his wartime past and vowed not to retreat in the face of “slanders, hateful dem onstrations and wholesale condemna tions.” His decision, announced in a pre pared text for a nationally televised spe ch, seemed certain to deepen Austria’s growing political crisis. The 69-ycar-old president was addressing the fierce controversy that reached flashpoint last week when a historians’ report questioned In Monday’s Daily Nebraskan ar ticle on the Voice Party the names under the photographs of Christopher Stream and Steven Showaltcr were switched. Waldheim’s moral integrity and said he was “in close proximity” to Na/i atrocities during his World War II service in the Balkans. Monday, Waldhicm declared, “I cannot but state that parts of the report do not correspond to the facts but arc built on presumptions and hypothe ses. For that reason, the conclusions drawn cannot be upheld.” Waldheim stressed th ,t he will cling to his embattled presidency despite calls from across the political spectrum that he should step down. “In the course of the renewed dis cussion, the question was also put about my premature departure front the office of federal president,” Waldheim said. ‘‘I want to take a stand in all clarity: You, my dear Austrians, have elected me federal president with a convinc ing majority in a secret and direct election for six years. “Thus it is no longer a matter ol the man Kurt Waldheim.” Waldheim ruled out resignation, saying: “It is a fundamental principle of our democ racy that an election result cannot be subsequently corrected.” Soviets lead in Winter Olympics Calgary, Alberta — The Soviet Union widened its lead in medals with a gold and silver in men’s cross-coun try skiing and a bronze in men’s singles luge.
