The group will also discuss if there are any programs within weeks of completion that Wolf can help bring to fruition and he will review potential appointments that don't require Senate confirmation. On Jan. 14, he plans to address a legislative joint session to talk about the future, including what he would like the state to achieve in the next two years. The swearing in Sunday actually was the second time Wolf took the oath.

He was sworn in earlier just after midnight at Woodburn. The first oath prevented the state from technically being without a governor for 14 hours. By NANCY KESLER Dover Bureau chief DOVER Dale Wolf was publicly sworn in as governor Sunday afternoon in Legislative Hall for a 17-day run in Delaware's top job. The crowd of about 150 people were mostly from Wolfs former employer, the Du Pont his family church, St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Wilmington; and from the causes with which he has associated himself as lieutenant governor, such as adult literacy and substance abuse prevention.

Supreme Court Chief Justice E. Norman Veasey, a friend of more than 25 years, administered the oath on the large open stair landing where 25 family members stood to watch. Wolf called his children, grandchildren and sisters "the Wolf pack." They came from as far Wolfs brief turn at Delaware's helm comes between the resignation of former Gov. Michael N.

"It means a future far more free from fear," Bush said of the far-reaching START II accord that, after Senate ratification, will reduce U.S.

and Russian stockpiles of long-range nuclear missiles to about a third of current levels. Yeltsin, his commitment to burying Cold War animosities now assured, declared: "We will be able to hand over to our children, the children of the 21st century, a more secure world." The Russian leader said he wrote Clinton two days ago proposing they meet at a neutral site to ensure "there should be no lull in our relations with the new administration, because any lull in the bilateral relations between the superpowers would give cause for concern." The signing ceremony and a two-hour fireside summit meeting that touched on the conflict in Yugoslavia and Yeltsin's troubled campaign to rescue Russia's faltering economy, effectively ended Bush's four-year turn on the world stage. Bush's first arms control treaty, in 1990, reduced tanks and other non-nuclear forces in Europe. The second, in 1991, will cut about one-third off the U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear missile totals.

And now the second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, by 2003 or even earlier, will eliminate all land-based long-range missiles with multiple warheads and impose a cap of 3,000 to 3,500 warheads each on U.S. and Russian arsenals.

In an inauspicious run-up to today's talks in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Boutros-Ghali was forced to take refuge in the former U.S. Embassy, now headquarters for the U.S. Marines.

About 200 Somalis led a demonstration to U.N, headquarters, where Boutros-Ghali was supposed to meet with U.N. workers and hold a news conference.The crowd quickly swelled to about 1,000, and protesters chanting "Down, down, Boutros-Ghali!" began throwing stones, tin cans, grapefruit rinds and anything else on the garbage-strewn streets. The crowd pressed against the gray metal doors, and some protesters tried to scale the wall. Some ripped the U.N. flag from its pole atop the wall and stamped on it, replacing it with a Somali flag.

The demonstrators were supporters of one of Somalia's two main warlords, Gen. Mohamed Farrah Aidid. He has accused the United Nations of siding with his rival, Ali Mahdi Mohamed, and of supporting former Somali President Mohammed Siad Barre when Boutros-Ghali was Egyptian foreign minister.
