Senate struggling with tax amendments
WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislators were scrambling to offer
last-minute amendments benefiting narrow interests as the
Senate prepared to approve a dramatic overhaul of the federal
tax code.
“It’s going to be a big, big win — almost unanimous." Majori-
ty Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., said in predicting the outcome of
the final Senate vote scheduled for late today, at the end of 13
days of debate.
As the Senate was wrapping up work on the legislation,
amendments were pending to soften the impact on certain in-
dustries of the bill’s minimum tax on corporations and preserve
a capital gains break for farmers.
While major amendments to the sweeping package have been
routinely defeated, senators have been loading up the legisla-
tion with provisions for specific organizations, firms or inf^
dividuals.

Texas city’s cumulative rainfall

Winnie Mandela: Emergency stale of war
LONDON (AP) — In a clandestine television interview, Win-
nie Mandela said South African blacks regard the govern-
ment’s sfate of emergency as a “total declaration of war” that
blacks plan to fight to the bitter end.
The wife of imprisoned black nationalist leader Nelson
Mandela, in the interview broadcast Monday night, also called
on the rest of the world “to strangle our county” economically
to force an end to South Africa’s apartheid policy of racial
separation.
“We know of no other peaceful measure we could use to pre-
vent the violence that is the order of the day in our country,”
she told Independent Television’s “World in Action” program.
Independent Television said it defied the South African
government’s ban on journalists entering black townships and
filmed Mrs. Mandela on Sunday at her home in Soweto, a black
township of about 2 million residents outside Johannesburg.
Three dead, suspect arrested in store siege
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — A 13‘2-hour standoff that
turned exclusive Rodeo Drive into an armed camp ended with
the arrest of a gunman who took five hostages in a jewelry
store, and authorities said Tuesday that three hostages were
killed and two injured.
„ The gunman, who also was injured as the siege ended at the
Van Cleef & Arpels Inc. jewelry store, “tried to escape using a
couple of hostages as a shield,” said police Lt. David Griffey.
“There was no indication at all that they were coming out,”
said police Lt. Bill Hunt. The gunman “had been cooperative up
until that point.”
Before leaving the building, the gunman tied himself to the
remaining three hostages and they concealed themselves under
a blanket, Hunt said. They walked out of the store and headed
toward a parking lot, where some of the hostages’ cars were
parked. Griffey said.
“Sheriff’s deputies confronted them and there were shots
fired at that point,” Hunt said. “There were some flash
grenades and stun guns introduced at that point, and
everything ended there.”
About 20 minutes after the shots rang out Monday night, 13> 2
hours after the gunman entered the posh store. Hunt announced
the arrest. The name of the man who had been identified public-
ly only as “John” was not released.

AUSTIN (AP) - Rep. Lloyd
Criss wants Attorney General
Jim Mattox to tell the State
Board of Insurance that it
already has ail the authority it
needs to promote worker safety.
Criss on Monday asked the at-
torney general to review a 1973
law that forces insurance com-
panies to provide accident

customers.
The LaMarque lawmaker said
the State Board of Insurance has
not enforced the rule.
“My concern with all this is
simple. Texas is the most
dangerous state in the nation for
employees to work,” Criss said.
Texas reported 968 job-related
deaths and 455,470 job-related
accidents in 1985 to lead the na-
tion in both categories.
