SATURDAY, JANUARY 18,1992

WEEK IN REVIEW Wattleton quits Planned Parenthood job After 14 years as president of Planned Parenthood, Faye Wattleton resigned last week to take a job as aTV talk-show host Wattleton, 48, widely considered the abortion rights movement’s most eloquent and spokeswoman, will leave in March. Her decision comes at a crucial time for the movement, which faces the possible reversal of legal abonion by the U.S. Supreme Coun. Planned Parenthood officials were dismayed at Wattleton’s decision but her opponents, who had long criticized her for turning the family planning organization into an abortion rights group, were pleased according to U S. Today. Wattleton will host a syndicated talk show on women’s rights beginning this spring. It will be produced by Tribune Entenainment of Chicago. The divorced mother of a 16-year-old girl took over Planned Parenthood at age 34 — the first woman and first African American to oversee the organization’s $300 million annual budget and 900 clinics nationwide. She said she did not resign in frustration after decades of attacks on abonion rights. Wilder withdraws from presidential race Virginia Gov. C. Douglas Wilder last week threw in the towel on a presidential campaign that had trouble attracting both money and support. Wilder said he couldn’t run for president and manage his financially troubled state at the same time. His decision could boost the chances of Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, theonlyothcrSouthemcrin the Democratic race. Wilder, the nation’s first elected black governor, made the announcement at the end of his State of the State address in Richmond. A poll last month in New Hampshire gave him only 1 percent of the Democratic vote. Marion Barry transferred to another prison WASHINGTON — Former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was transferred to another prison late last week following a hearing on allegations by two other inmates that a woman performed oral sex on Barry in a visiting room at a Petersburg, Va„ prison. The unwanted transfer hasn’t deprived him of any privileges, but it has him in a more tightly controlled setting, authorities said Saturday. The move came Friday night after prison officials held a hearing on the allegations. Barry, 55, who is serving a sixmonth term on a misdemeanor conviction for cocaine possession, has denied the allegations. He was transferred from Petersburg, a minimums-security prison, to a low-security facility in Lorctto, Pa., said Gregory Bogdan, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Barry has blamed the charges on racism. Two white inmates accused him of engaging in a sex act Dec. 29 in the presence ofothers in the visiting room Barry said he was given only “a brief peck on the cheek.” ; ;; —Compiled by Kim Hooper

4/HtrtTHIS WEEK World watching Algerian situation with alarm ALGERIA — Governments across the world were expressing their concern this week after the Algerian government canceled the second round of elections scheduled for this week. News reports said the elections were canceled after the new government, formed after the surprise resignation of the nation’s president last week, became fearful that Islamic fundamentalists would win the parliamentary elections scheduled for Thursday. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwciler said Monday that the U.S. was watching the situation with caution and appealed to all sides to remain calm. Noting the progess made towards establishing full democracy in Algeria, Tutwciler said she hoped democratic processes could continue. Other governments worldwide also expressed their concern. Members of the Islamic Salvation Front, which scored an overwhelming victory in legislative elections last month and was expected to win this week's election, were reported as wailing to see what the army-backed Ruling Council would do, now that it controls the government. All sides said they hope the situation will not become violent. According to one Algiers resident quoted by VOA-Africa, the country’s newspapers are full of speculation as to what might happen. Many people seem to think that the Ruling Council will announce a new set of measures, including a slate of emergency that would allow suspension of the consitution and the dissolution of political parties. The streets of Algiers were reported calm Tuesday, with troops and some tanks maintaining their positions around key installations. But one Western observer told CNN, “There is tension inthe air... The army is definitely ready to move.” 9 killed in South African violence SOUTH AFRICA — Nine people hevc been killed in political violence since Monday in South Africa. Police said five men were gunned down near Pinetown Monday afternoon when their minibus was run off the road by gunmen. Also on Monday, two men were shot to death by gunmen in a car near the town of Ventcrsdorp. Two other people were killed in another incident near Johannesburg. Clashes between rival black South African groups have killed thousands of people in recent years. Kenyan opposition leaders jailed KENYA — Two Kenyan opposition figures charged with spreading a rumor of a planned military takeover, were freed this week, but two others remain in jail. The arrested men arc members of Forum for the Restoration of Democracy, the group which on Friday called for President Daniel Arap Moi to comment on a widespread rumor that he planned to let the army take control of Kenya. They told reporters that Moi fears defeat in the upcoming presidential elections. Moi denies the allegations. — Compiled by Steve Hammer
