Vital statistics 12 Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune Monday, July 9, 1990 Activists sought after bombings JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Police hunted today for members of the White Liberation Army, which took responsibility for a bombing that injured 27 blacks and warned it would make more attacks to preserve white rule. Police also said today they had arrested a 10th right-wing activist in connection with a recent series of bomb attacks. Nine other suspects were seized over the weekend. The Star newspaper reported that security police hunting right-wing groups had uncovered "a huge arms cache" of weapons and explosives. The White Liberation Army took responsibility late Sunday for a bombing Friday of a black bus terminal in central Johannesburg.

The bombing was one of at least six in Johannesburg in the past 10 days. The group said in a fax to newspapers late Sunday that it planted the bomb to protest government plans to end white-minority rule. It warned there would be more bombings. The message was sprinkled with racist insults against blacks. It called Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok, who heads the police, a "traitor." A police official, who declined to be named, said authorities had heard of the White Liberation Army before and were hunting for its members.

The extreme right- wing group is one of several linked to violent attacks in recent weeks, he said. Police said Sunday they had detained nine white men in the bombings. Vlok said all were being held under the Internal Security Act, which allows for indefinite detention without trial. "The people arrested are all supporters of a far right political ideology, but can not thus far be connected to any particular organization," Vlok said. He said three prominent right- wingers were among those arrested, including Leonard Veenendaal, Darryl Stopforth and David Rootenberg.

He said the other six arrested could not yet be named because of the delicate nature of the investigation. Vlok said the arrests quashed any suggestion that police were tardy in their investigation of the right-wing. Right-wing whites have expressed outrage at President F.W. de Klerk's plans to end apartheid and share power with the 30 million black majority. Both de Klerk and the African National Congress, the leading black opposition group, have acknowledged that a terrorist campaign by heavily armed right-wing whites could undermine black- white negotiations.

Gorbachev struggled behind the scenes of the Communist Party congress today for a new Politburo that would champion his reforms. A weary-looking Gorbachev took the floor of the 28th congress after pushing his proposal through a four-hour meeting of the party rules committee. If approved, it would guarantee that the small group of men of primarily Russian nationality who traditionally ruled the Soviet Union would be replaced by largely pro-reform, non-Russian Communists. It also would allow Gorbachev to bypass the 250-member Central Committee, expected to be heavily conservative when the congress elects it later this week. After making his announcement, Gorbachev sat next to the temporary chairman of the party congress, parliamentary chairman Anatoly Lukyanov, and urged quietly, "Let's vote." Gorbachev said the committee suggested a Politburo consisting of a general secretary, deputy, and first secretaries of the 15 Soviet republic parties.

He said others could be added by the Central Committee from among its members. Gorbachev's plan could completely change the Politburo membership. None of the 15 largely reformist republic party chiefs are currently members of the 12-man body. The congress is expected to reelect Gorbachev to head the 19- million-member party, despite criticism of his political and economic reforms from delegates at the largely conservative congress. Some delegates said he may be allowed to virtually hand-pick his deputy.

The proposed rule change would give Gorbachev a reformist Politburo, because the republic party leaders want the political sovereignty and market economy that he advocates. Any decentralization, and particularly a JEEPERS CREEPERS IT'S TIME FOR NEW PEEPERS Joosei union of sovereign republics now under discussion, would give the republics more power over -their own affairs. Most republic leaders also believe their areas will fare far better under a market economy than under continued central planning, which they blame for sucking dry their republics' resources and giving little in return. Gorbachev first sought the rule change in February. The governing Politburo now is chosen by the 250-member Central Committee.

Under Gorbachev's proposal, the Central Committee would have no control over the Politburo core; republic parties choose their own leaders. The general secretary and deputy would be chosen by the congress, which meets once every five years. The current 12-man Politburo has only two non-Russian members: Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, from the republic of Georgia, and Ukrainian President Vladimir Ivashko. There is but one non-Russian, Latvian Boris Pugo, among the seven non-voting members of the Politburo. The delegates were expected to vote on the new rules today, then proceed to nominations for general secretary.

On Sunday, Gorbachev who has been the party general secretary since 1985, faced tough questioning at a meeting of workers and farmers attending the congress as non-voting observers.
