“OUR NATION cannot do less,” she said. “The time has come for us to civilize ourselves for the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.” Mrs. King and Winnie Mandela, wife of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, planned to lead a march through the city today. Elsewhere: • New York Gov. Mario Cuomo planned to attend a march in Albany, N.Y, accompanied by actor Harry Belafonte and Shen Tong, chairman of the Democracy for China Fund. “WE NOT ONLY honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we reaffirm our vow to stem racism and pursue social justice through reconciliation and healing, just as this extraordinary man taught us,” Cuomo said Sunday. • A “Freedom Train” with an estimated 4,000 riders was expected to kick off the holiday in California. It was to travel from San Jose to San Francisco, where a march was scheduled. In Los Angeles, a 14-foot sculpture honoring King was to be unveiled in the city’s Watts section. • In Arkansas, Daisy Bates, who was an adviser to the nine black students who integrated Little
Light sentences in Berlin Wall trial
BERLIN (AP) Two former East German border guards were convicted today in the shooting death of the last person killed trying to flee the Stalinist state over the Berlin Wall. Only one was sentenced to prison, however, and the other two co-defendants were acquitted. THE 4’/2-MONTH trial was widely considered a test case for investigators trying to build charges against dozens of other former East Germans for deaths at the wall. More than 200 people were killed trying to flee East Germany and this was the first prosecution stemming from the deaths.

Defense lawyers in the politically charged case insisted the defendants were following the legitimate orders of a thensovereign country when Chris Gueffroy, 20, was killed by a bullet through the heart on Feb. 5,1989. JUST NINE months later, antiCommunist protesters breached the wall. In announcing the verdict, Theodor Seidel, chief judge of the Berlin Regional Court, drew parallels between the blind obedience to orders in the Nazi era and in Communist East Germany. Defense attorneys had repeatedly challenged the court’s authority to hear the case and many Germans criticized the proceedings as unfairly singling out four young guards when former East German leader Erich Honecker and other top-ranking Communists remain free. IN WHAT MAY have been an attempt to lessen criticism, the prosecution asked for suspended sentences. Ingo Heinrich, 27, was convicted of manslaughter and received a 316-year sentence. Andreas Kuehnpast, 27, received a two-year

suspended sentence for attempted manslaughter. Acquitted by the court of three judges and two jurors were Mike Schmidt and Peter Schmett, also former border guards. The four defendants, charged with manslaughter, had faced maximum sentences of life in prison. SEIDEL, IN pronouncing sentence before the tense courtroom, said, “There is no doubt that the deadly shot came from Heinrich ... He said Gueffroy and a companion had simply wanted to escape the Communist regime to seek better opportunities in the West The judge’s reference to Nazi Germany angered defense attorney Hubert Dreyling, who was representing Kuehnpast. “Comparing the German Democratic Republic to the Nazi era is improper,” Dreyling told reporters. AS SEIDEL announced the manslaughter conviction and sentence, Heinrich sat in the dock looking dismayed and angry. Afterwards, he refused to talk to reporters. Heinrich will remain free
Dahmer claims he was trying to make zombies
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Jeffrey Dahmer told a psychiatrist he tried to lobotomize some of his drugged victims to make them “zombie-like,” then strangled and dismembered them when the experiments failed, a newspaper said. Dr. Frederick Fosdal was quoted as saying in Sunday’s Wisconsin State Journal that the 31-year-old confessed serial killer told him he drilled holes to deaden a portion of his victims’ brains and poured fluids in the skulls. “HE HAD HOPED to control and keep them around longer by making them zombie-like,” Fosdal was quoted as saying. Fosdal, however, said Sunday he did not discuss his findings with reporters, and he would not confirm or deny the accuracy of the article. It could not immediately be

He would have been 63. In Oakland, Calif., about 80 residents marched Sunday to reclaim their neighborhood from drug dealers. “Drugs are just another form of slavery. I can’t think of a better way to honor Dr. King than to do this,” said Gilda Baker, 39, a mother of two. Rep. Charles E. Schumer, DN.Y., proposed legislation to increase prison terms for federal offenses motivated by racial, ethnic, religious or gender bias. MRS. KING ON Sunday presented Mrs. Mandela with an award from the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change for the progress the Mandelas made in fighting apartheid. Mrs. Mandela accepted the award and left. Mrs. King said Mrs. Mandela was ill, but didn’t elaborate. In her speech, Mrs. King stopped short of directly criticizing President Bush, who traveled to Atlanta on Friday and laid a wreath at King’s tomb. Instead, she told about 850 people that government hasn’t done enough especially for young Americans. “Brothers and sisters, it’s time for an all-out campaign to put America back to work,” she said.
pending further legal moves in the case. Karin Gueffroy, the victim’s mother, sat at the front of the old, dark courtroom looking strained’ After the verdict was announced, she stood alone, refusing to comment The defendents said during the trial that they regretted the death but had no other choice. “AT THAT TIME, I was following the laws and commands of the German Democratic Republic,” said Heinrich, 26, in his final plea. “What was right then can’t be wrong now,” defense attorney Rolf Bossi told the court. The verdict comes two other former border guards are on trial in another Berlin courtroom and justice officials seek to put Honecker on trial for issuing shoot-to-kill orders to border guards. Honecker has refused to budge from his Moscow refuge. DEFENSE LAWYERS for the four border guards repeatedly questioned the authority of the Berlin court, arguing that it had no jurisdiction because the case was being tried after the fact of German unification.
determined whether examinations of the victims’ remains uncovered evidence of the alleged experiments. Fosdal was hired by prosecutors to examine Dahmer after parts of 11 victims were found in Dahmer’s Milwaukee apartment in July. Dahmer admitted to police he killed and dismembered 17 males since 1978. ON JAN. 13, Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 killings. He has confessed to having sex with some of the corpses and saving one man’s heart to cat. Fosdal, who teaches at the University of Wisconsin, was quoted as saying Dahmer a former Army medic performed the operations while the men were unconscious and dismembered them merely as a means of disposal. “THEY WERE NOT brutal, sadistic acts. He said he killed them in the most painless way he knew.”

ALAN GREENSPAN Cites debt as problem Fed official says no to a quick fix WASHINGTON (AP) A top Federal Reserve official said today that any short-term fix for the staggering economy would result in a “severe collapse” within a few years. Edward Kelley Jr., one of seven Fed governors, acknowledged the economy “is mired in an extended slowdown,” but he said it will take time to achieve what he called “true progress.” PRESIDENT BUSH and many congressional Democrats are considering tax cuts and other proposals designed to rescue an economy that Bush said is in a free fall. Kelley, however, said he doesn’t believe “there are any quick fixes or panaceas available to us.” His remarks were prepared for the Florida Council of 100, a business organization meeting in Tampa. Copies of the speech were made available in Washington. Without mentioning tax cuts or still lower interest rates specifically, Kelley pointed to the danger of using either. “IF WE WERE to get our economy going again by forcefeeding consumer spending or reigniting financial speculation, ... we would then be setting ourselves up for a severe collapse later in this decade which would be deep and long lasting,” he said. Citing the potential for rcigniling inflation, he defended the central bank against criticism that it has not eased credit quickly enough to keep the economy from drifting downward. “Inflation is a killer of economies,” he said. UNTIL IT SLASHED the discount rate a full 1 percent last month, the Fed had been nudging interest rates down slowly to lessen the chances of setting off a wave of price increase. The Labor Department reported last week that inflation was just 3.1 percent last year, the lowest since 1986. As has Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and other economists, Kelley attributed much of the economy’s problems to the enormous buildup of debt during the last decade. “THE CONSEQUENCE of crossing this watershed is that the 1980 s era, wherein we were creating debt that financed an extended expansion in economic activity, has now given way to a new era of servicing that debt, which has the reverse effect of slowing the economy,” he said. And the debt, he contended, was caused by the era’s “inflation psychology,” which encouraged consumers and businesses to spend because any savings would be eroded by rising prices. In addition to price stability, long-term growth requires “substantially increased investment,” he said.
