Arafat calls on U.S. to accept peace opening
.ALGIERS, Algeria - PLO chief
Yasser Arafat said Tuesday it was up
to the United States to make the next
move toward Middle East peace now
that the Palestinians have formed an
independent state that implicitly rec
ognizes Israel.
“The ball is now in the American
court,” Arafat said a few hours after
the Palestine National Council, the
PLO’s parliament-m-exile, solemnly
proclaimed Palestinian independ
ence in a ceremony early Tuesday.
The declaration accepted U.N.
Security Council Resolution 242,
which implicitly recognizes Israel
when it refers to the right of all coun
tries in the region to live within secure
and recognized borders.
The proclamation topped the list
of issues taken up during the council ’ s
four-day special session in Algeria,
which ended Tuesday. The 450
member council also voted to form a
provisional government at a future
date and pledged to restrict guerrilla
operations to military targets in Is
raeli-occupied territories.
The council’s move, largely sym
bolic and clearly aimed at capitaliz
ing on the 11-month-old Palestinian
uprising in Israeli-occupied lands,
sought to remove obstacles to U.S.
and Israeli dealings with the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
Referring to the intcfadeh, or up
rising, Arafat told a news conference:
“It is true that this is the intefadeh
session of the (council), but it also
could be the session of peace with the
U.S. administration and Israel.”
The PLO chief said the council had
given him a mandate to pursue a
political settlement. “But if we are
met with a rebuffhe said, “only God
knows the outcome.”
“Let it also be clear, I can always
come back to our (council) and de
clare that moderation does not pay,”
Arafat said.
Israel immediately rejected
Arafat’s declaration, calling it
“double talk” and denying that it
recognized Israel or truly renounced
terrorism.

Bush names Brady Treasury Secretary
WASHINGTON — President
elect George Bush, back from a relax
ing Florida vacation, announced
Tuesday that Treasury Secretary
Nicholas Brady would remain in that
job and met with his first foreign
leader in his new role.
Brady, a former investment
banker and Bush’s longtime friend, is
the second person chosen for the new
Cabinet. B ush last week picked James
A. Baker III, his election campaign
chairman, as secretary of state.
A former senator from New Jer
sey, Brady, 58, succeeded Baker at
Treasury in August, and it had been
widely rumored he would stay in the
post.
Announcing his choice, Bush said
of Brady: “He knows the most impor
tant priority is to keep our economy
growing with low inflation. He knows
we’ve got to sit down with the Con
gress on a deficit-reduction agree
menl and we ve gol to do it soon.”
He disclosed the appointment
immediately after a meeting with
West German Chancellor Helmut
Kohl, the first foreign leader to sec
him since Election Day.
‘i’ll do my best to help the presi
dent-elect, serve the people and to
build on this, the longest recovery in
the history of the country,” Brady
said. He had no comment on the dol
lar, which has fallen sharply on for
eign markets in recent days.

Charges dropped in Kearney
State fraternity fall death
KfcAKNfcY — Charges filed
against three Kearney State College
fraternity members after a former
student died in a fall during a party
were dismissed Tuesday.
Buffalo County Attorney Richard
Anderson dismissed the charges a day
after County Judge John P. Icenoglc
threw out a similar misdemeanor
charge filed against Michael Masters,
president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity.
Icenoglc said insufficient evi
dence was presented during a trial
Monday to support the Class III mis
demeanor against Masters, 22, of
Kearney.
Jeffrey J. Rchbcrg, 19, of Love
land, Colo., died of injuries he suf
fered in a 22-foot fall from the frater
nity house balcony during a July
party. Amy Chapman, 17, of Lexing
ton also was injured in the fall.
The parents of both Rehbcrg and
Miss Chapman have filed separate
lawsuits against the fraternity.
Anderson dismissed charges of
selling alcohol to minors against
William D. Gellatly, 21, of Walbach,
r-imwii i mi-mi ..
and Mark L. Mcuregor, ZU, of
Hartington. A misdemeanor charge
of false reporting filed against Chris
topher P. Henry, 20, of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, also was dismissed.
All the charges were dismissed
without prejudice, which means they
could be re filed within 18 months if
warranted.
Minors who attended the parly,
Kearney police and campus security
officers testified Monday that 200 to
400 people were at the party.
Icenoglc said organizations that
hold open parlies at which there is
liquor must ensure that minors are not
given alcohol. But he said the hosis
cannot be held criminally responsible
when an uninvited guest brings his or
her own liquor.
Steve l.owe, the lawyer represent
ing Masters, asked Icenoglc to dis
miss the charge against his client
Monday, saying Masters did not or
ganize the party and that there was no
evidence he had done anything
wrong.
Anderson argued that Masters had
responsibility to control alcohol con
sumption at the parly.
