"Yesterday was exhausting.

Today we are battling to keep awake, drinking lots of coffee," said one bored electoral officer in Johannesburg. The situation also was helped hann Kriegler's recommendation that voting continue Friday in the eastern region of-KwaZulu; in Transkei-Ciskei in the southeast; and in the region encompassing Lebowa, Gazankulu, and Venda, in northern Transvaal. "The voters there have not had i a fair and free opportunity to etf- press their views. Krieeler safd. they might earn for the sale of their stories and all their assets.

These include their $540,000 suburban home, Jaguar and Honda cars, Ames pension for 31 years in the CIA, all domestic bank accounts and all foreign accounts, which Ames' attorney Plato Cacheris estimated hold less than $100,000 now. "This plea agreement leaves Mr. Ames and his wife penni 'I did something is still not explicable Without or any payment, I to the KGB identifying Soviet agents and other and foreign blown which entirely even to me; preconditions demand for volunteered information virtually all of the CIA American services to me," AldrichAmes this "the most damaging spy case in the history of this country." The government said Ames compromised agents code-named: Accord, Cowl, Fitness, Blizzard, Gentile, Million, Prologue, Weigh, Tickle, Pyrrhic and Motorboat. Ames said in April 1985 he sold the Soviet KGB the identities of several So- viet citizens who appeared to be working for the CIA inside the Soviet Union, but whom he believed actually were still loyal to the KGB. Months later, "I did something which is still not entirely explicable even to me: Without preconditions or any demand for payment, I volunteered to the KGB information identifying virtually all Soviet agents of the CIA and other American and foreign services known to me," Ames said.

Pact: Negotiations stumbled over issues of security De Klerk applauded the decl- sion. "We've got to make' this election work for all the people," he told a niws conference" If we don't gea 100 percent perfect election, let us strive to achieve a 95 perfect one, and let us live with Buthelezi, visiting polling stations in northern KwaZulu, also said he was happy. 'It' obvious the east they could do is Extend thetime." of Buthelczi's support Is concentrated in his black homeland of KwaZulu and that was where problems were worst. An Ulundi election officer, Peter de Bruyn, said despite an air force airlift, supplies were "too too slow." "We've been running at 30 peri cent of our supposed voting ca-1 pacity. It's worse than yesterday," he said.

Tensions were on the rise among would-be voters, many of whom slept at polling stations the previous two nights. sure Israel's security. American troops could be sent to the Golan part of an international peacej keeping force. While Christopher is unlikely to broker an Israeli-Syrian agreement on this trip he expects Syria, Lebanon and Jordan to announce their return to negotiations with Israeli in Washington once the Palestinian agreement is signed. The Arabs suspended the talk? after a Jewish extremist attacked a mosque in Hebron in February, killing 30 Muslims at prayer.

The incident was ojie of several acts of violence against Israelis and Palestinians. Christopher has blamed ex tremists trying to derail the peace talks. Mubarak, Christopher, Arafat and Peres all appeared buoyant, and a senior U.S. official said "we have every expectation that there will be a signing ceremony to celebrate" Wednesday. Christopher went to the U.S..

Mrs. Ames, who pleaded first, wept during the short proceedings. Then Ames pleaded and, before sentencing, read an eight-page statement that combined contrition, a bitter attack on the government for what he called overstating the guilt of his wife, and an much," Nalbone said. "The only thing ABC had on Sundays was mainly golf. "We also want to point out that one of the main reasons why we secured the rights to FOX football was to make sure it remained on free, over-the-air television, not just on cable." Nalbone said KFNB's affiliation with ABC did not restrain' it from making a deal with FOX.

"ABC wasn't pleased, but it doesn't have any control over how we program our station," he said. "But like I said, we wanted to see a stand for free TV and we'd rather have it on our station than one of our competitors' stations. It's a proven commodity." Swanson disagreed. "You get better ratings, but as far as a (local advertising) revenue-producer, it (the NFL) hasn't been a money-maker for us," he said. Nalbone said FOX was not carried by several small markets when it made the NFX deal.

Consequently, whenjhe network came calling, Nalbone struck a deal. "There were 65 markets where FOX was not affiliated," he said. "They went to all the small markets, trying to get them to show football. They're getting coverage and, of course, they insert their commercials sold nationally (during NFL games). That's their value for us running their program." tniou agoodl meal in an exquisite atmosphere Piime lOoz cut irillni OPEN Aw SlUflUV 2JUf FH4Sa SUNDAYS, Continued from Al pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit espionage and evade income taxes, but the government said she aided and supported her husband's treachery without ever handling or transmitting secrets to the Russians.

U.S. District judge Claude Hilton deferred her sentencing until Aug. 26 so the government has time to see whether Ames fulfills his agreement to tell investigators everything he disclosed, how he operated and any help he may have received. "The results of his debriefing will be very influential," in her 5c1111.111.111g, nci miuiiicy wnuaui Cummings said. As part of the plea bargain with the Ameses, prosecutors have agreed to recommend she be sentenced to 63 to 72 months, which Cummings said means she could be released, with time off for good behavior, in somewhat more than four-and-a-half years at the earliest.

Wyoming's CBS affiliates, r.wr nf aor nA rnwM nf Cheyenne, are left with little in the way of major sports programming. And those stations must now consider alternative programming during the professional football according to KGWC Station Manager. Tim Swanson. "There been some talk about picking up a little more college (football), but they (CBS) haven't finalized exactly what they're going to do," he said. "We'll probably have to insert some syndicated shows (on Sunday afternoons) and paid programs, which nobody wants to see.

He said both stations plan to begin airing NFL preseason games on Aug. 1 2 and FOX programming will kick in near the beginning of September.

I Mandela and Inkatha leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi pressed for extending the voting until Friday, and an exhausted IEC reluctantly agreed to do so in some areas. Mandela Suggested that the foul-ups were more than just bungling and poor planning, In a television interview, he blamed "massive sabotage," apparently alluding to missing ballot shipments. His main political rival, President F.W. de Klerk of the National Party, challenged Mandela to provide proof. Although Mandela made no other public comments Thursday, other ANC officials retreated somewhat from the allegations of abuses.

In the end, the government accepted IEC chairman Judge Jo- tinians at border crossing and the size of Jericho remained to be dealt with by Rabin and Arafat Tuesday night in Cairo. Also, the sources said, the PLO was demanding recognition of territorial waters reaching nine miles out from the Mediterranean shores of Gaza. Christopher delayed his departure for Tel Aviv to hold another meeting with Arafat; On Saturday he will fly to Damascus to talk to Syrian President Hafez Assad about his demand to recover the Golan Heights, a strategic enclave Israel won in the 1967 Six-Day war with Syria, Egypt and Jordan. Peres, responding to a reporter's question, said Israel was not ready to tell Syria how much of the land would be surrendered in return for a peace treaty. He did not rule out giving all of it up, although Rabin pledged as a candidate not to "go down" from the Golan.

Before the 1967 war Israeli villages were routinely attacked from the Golan.

"Happy, happy. I nearly jumped out of my skin and stood next to my body," said Eddy Mile, a vegetable vendor who was one of the last voters in Soweto, outside Johannesburg. Despite dire predictions in the months leading up to the election, and a spate of bombings early in the week blamed on white extremists, most of the three days of balloting took place in an atmosphere of calm. Police moved to avert any further trouble from far-right whites by declaring unrest areas in IS towns that are strongholds of pro-apartheid whites. That gives police expanded powers to detain people and break up public gatherings.

In many areas, the mood was jubilant. It amounted to "a magnificent tribute to our national peace structures and the South African electorate," said relieved peace monitor Rupert Lorimer. Although poll superintendents were permitted to keep the voting stations open until midnight, the majority were closing at 7 p.m., as originally planned, for lack of business. terrorists, while the PLO is seeking to establish its authority in every way possible as a prelude to what it hopes will be statehood. Minor unsettled problems include control of the telephone and postal service and registration of transients in Jericho and Gaza.
