news digest aa Aid continues amid tremors KILLARI, India — The Indian army cracked down on looting in the country’s earthquake-stricken south west on Sunday, taking control of police and civilian authorities and blocking outsiders from shattered vil lages. Tremors continued to shudder through Maharashtra state, where as many as 30,000 people died in Thurs day’ s earthquake. In the days following the disaster, looters have slipped into villages in the guise of volunteers, stripping corps es of jewelry and wrecked homes of any valuables that could be carried away, relief workers said. “I’m not allowing anyone today to work in the villages unless they arc cleared by the army,” said Col. S.K. Joshi, head of the relief cfTort for Killari and four surrounding villages. Dozens of volunteer groups have arrival in Maharashtra state, bringing food, drinking water and temporary shelters to earthquake victims. But many remote villages off the main roads remain without aid. Survivors swarmed relief vans whenever they stopped. Without or ganized distribution, the weak went hungry.

President Boris Yeltsin declared a state of emergency in Moscow, giv ing police wide power to crack down on unrest if they could, and appealed to people not to aid the protest. “We call upon your common sense and responsibility for the fate of your chil dren,” a government statement said. Protesters overwhelmed riot po lice in vicious street fighting and smashed their way into the headquar ters of the Moscow city government and the headquarters of ITAR-Tass, the Russian news agency. They at tacked the country’s main television complex with rocket-propelled gre nades as govemmen t commandos and paratroopers fought back. Three TV channels went off the air. At least six people were killed, including four soldiers, city officials said. Dozens were injured, some when they were run overby trucks driven by protesters to break through lines of riot police. Hard-line lawmakers urged their triumphant followers to seize other installations and take control of the government. “We have to take the Kremlin,” parliament speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov told the Russian parha ment. ~ The chaos dramatically deepened the political crisis that began Sept. 21 when Yeltsin dissolved parliament and ordered parliamentary elections in a bid to end his power struggle with hard-line lawmakers. About 100 law makers with hundreds of armed sup porters have been holed up in the parliament building, refusing Yeltsin’s order to disband. —■m SPORTS WIRE Braves win division title after Giants ’ loss ATLANTA—After winning game No. 104, the Braves waited and watched. And, finally, on the last day of the best pennant race in years, the San Francisco Giants cracked. The Braves won their third straight NL West title Sunday—but it didn’t happen until three hours after their 5 3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. With players watching on big screen television in the trainers’ room, and about 8,000 fans watching on the scoreboard television in Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium, the title fi nally came when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the G iants 12-1 a conti nent away. Then, alter a marathon stretch drive that baseball will never forget, the celebration finally began. Atlanta and San Francisco began the day in a tie for first, only the second time since divisional play be gan in 1969 that teams were even going into the final day. Atlanta players, who left their bags packed in the clubhouse for a possible flight to San Francisco on Sunday night, congratulated each other after the game but it was a quiet celebra tion. -state wire Western Nebraska hit by youth violence SCOTTSBLUFF—Communities in western and central Nebraska arc not immune to youth violence and crime more often expected in big cities. Summer burglaries at Scottsbluff businesses and a Sept. 25 assault in Mitchell were attributed by authori ties to youths aged 13-16. In the Scottsbluffarea in the last 30 days, there have been six reports of shots being fired at homes. No one has been hurt, but bullets or shell casings from small-caliber automatic pistols and shotguns have been recovered from three scenes, authorities said. The Nebraska Crime Commission reported that in 1992, youth violence increased by 11 percent. Teens aged 13 to 15 were responsible for two of every three crimes committed by youths. “Moms arc dumping out of the big cities and they arc bringing their kids with them,” Scottsbluff Police Chief Jim Livingston said. The success of metropolitan gang task forces also has sent urban gang members to seek the quiet rural life. “They arc forcing people to move out to get the pressure off them.” Scottsbluff Detective Scotty Crawford said. “Consequently, they are turning up in smaller communities.’’ Nebraskan Editor Jemmy Fitzpatrick Night New* Editor* Jefflateny 472-1784 Um SiCkerl Manning Editor Wendy Mott Kristin* Long Aseoc.
