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.

Six die in latest round
of violence in Moscow
MOSCOW — Thousands of
screaming hard-line protesters hurl
ing rocks and bottles at fleeing police
broke the government’s siege of par
liament and seized other key installa
tions Sunday in the worst political
violence in Moscow since the Bolshe
vik Revolution.
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.

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.

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.’’
