TL 4 1 i The Associated Press West and East Berliners stand on the Berlin Wall in front ofthe Brandenburg Gate as they celebrate the opening of the border; view is toward the east GERMAN CRISIS Compiled from wire reports BERLIN East Germany opened the Berlin Wall and its other borders yesterday, and its cheering citizens crossed freely to the West for the first time since 1961. Late yesterday and early today, exultant East Germans coursed through Berlin Wall checkpoints and others entered West Germany at other border crossings. Jubilant people pranced and danced atop the Berlin Wall, a sight unthinkable only hours earlier. Near the Brandenburg Gate, East Germans raced through streams of police water cannon and were that happened in 100 years!" yelled a West Berlin man as he crossed into what had once been forbidden territory. Hundreds were seen on the Fried-richstrasse subway in West Berlin, and East Germans also were allowed for the first time at Checkpoint Charlie, the famed Friedrich-strasse crossing run by the U.S.-Allied military.

Many hugged and kissed strangers, while cars packed with East Germans and others paraded down the streets of West Berlin. "It's crazy! It's crazy!" shouted one young man as he sat in the back seat of a car with his parents after a brief trip past the once-impenetrable Berlin Wall. His parents said they just wanted to see the West and then drive back. They declined to give their names. "We heard it on TV, we just decided to go over and have a look," said the young man's father.

Some Germans used hammers to chip away at the barrier for keepsakes or in their own small way try to destroy the infamous symbol of East-West division. About 100 East Berliners at the Brandenburg Gate chanted: "Open the gate! Open the gate!" Hundreds of West Berliners took advantage of the newly opened borders during the carnival-like atmosphere to head in the opposite direction and catch a glimpse of the other side of the divided city.

The 28-mile-long Berlin Wall that was the scene of many fatal escape attempts conjures up Cold War memories as a concrete divider and repressive symbol. Page 5A.

Carson The Arizona Dally Star PHOENIX Two special legislative sessions will be held this month and next to deal with automobile insurance reform and budget matters, Gov. Rose Mofford and legislative leaders agreed yesterday. The first session, scheduled for Nov. 21, is expected to last one to two days, Mofford said. During that session, legislators will consider an automobile insurance reform proposal which calls for more regulatory action by the Department of Insurance and a budget deficit of up to a committee that studied the state's tax and budgeting structures for about a year.

Fiscal 2000 members suggest a $340 millior tax package. Although there has been speculation and doubt about whether a special session would be held on Fiscal 2000 recommendations, Senate Majority Leader John Ma-whinney, R-Tucson, said, "leadership agreed that there is a significant fiscal problem facing the state of Arizona that is more broad than the current fiscal year's problems." This year's deficit is projected at $75 million, and it could climb See SESSIONS, Page 2A By Lewis M. Simons Knlght-Rldder Newspapers BEIJING China's paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, resigned from the last of his official Communist Party positions yesterday, turning over his title of chairman of the party's powerful military commission to his handpicked protege. Deng's succession by Jiang Zemin, whom the 85-year-old leader plucked from relative obscurity to head the party after June's Beijing massacre, indicated that China may be entering a period of weak leadership and political instability. Furthermore, some political analysts expressed doubt that Deng WEATHER $75 million for the current fiscal year.

Some legislators believe the deficit can be closed by accelerating some tax payments and making some budget cuts. Long-term budget problems will be the focus of the second special session, beginning Dec. 14. It is expected to run into the regular session, beginning in January. During that session, legislators are expected to discuss recommendations made by Fiscal 2000, 15 Mexican federal cops indicted in Nogales jail shooting Sunny and warm.

More indictments may follow, he said in a telephone interview.

The agents are charged with a variety of crimes, including attempted homicide and theft. The theft charge was added because the men took an AK-47 assault rifle while fleeing, the prosecutor said. The indicted policemen are auxiliares, or auxiliary agents. These fully vested agents serve, often temporarily, at the will of the local federal police chief. There are believed to be about 50 such agents in Nogales.

In contrast, there are fewer than half that number of regular agents. The auxiliary agents are more transient than the regulars and have been the primary source of conflicts between city and federal police, city officials said. Federal officials could not be reached for comment. After last week's confrontation, Nogales Mayor Leobardo Gil requested that all credentials of auxiliary agents be revoked.

The shooting occurred in the Hotel Marquez de Cima, a new hotel on the city's south side. Ramirez was checked into a room. No one has been arrested in the shooting as yet. "The two incidents are not really connected, except that both involve the auxiliary agents," said the Nogales city administrative secretary, Alberto Espinoza. "The auxiliary agents are at the root of many of the city's bloody confrontations, and we are doing what we can to see them disbanded."
