(Continued from page 1 1) assured him there were no longer any individuals in Russia who were being blocked from leaving. Sharing a podium that bore the Stars and Stripes and the Russian tricolor, the two men seemed eager to leave the Cold War behind. Clinton issued a remarkable public statement of regret that: an American submarine had collided with a Russian sub in the Barents Sea several days earlier.

Yeltsin said he was "now finalizing" a schedule for removal of the last Russian troops from Cuba. Clinton said that for 45 years the two countries "pursued a deadly confrontation in nuclear arms. Now we can pursue a safe and steady cooperation." Said Yeltsin, "'We are struggling against Communism." Clinton said he had asked America's allies "to come forth with their own individual initiatives" to aid Russia, and that he and Yeltsin had discussed a coordinated effort by the world's seven industrialized nations to help Russia stabilize its economy and its currency. Yeltsin invited Clinton to visit Russia, a trip the president said last week he would like to make assuming Russian reforms survive the April 25 popular referendum. The referendum will presumably clarify the political situation in Russia, where Yeltsin last week narrowly survived an impeachment attempt by the legislature and has been maneuvering against former Communist foes to preserve his power.

Clinton left no doubt about his hopes for the outcome of that struggle. In the first few moments at the microphone, he referred to the "heroic deeds of Boris Yeltsin and the Russian people" in launching their reform efforts and defending them since. Clinton, after a successful debut on the international stage, must persuade American to support aid to Russia at a time of record budget deficits and stubborn unemployment at home. He said a healthy Russian economy will mean new trade opportunities for Americans. The second and final day of talks focused on national security and foreign policy issues, following intense discussions Saturday on Russia's crumbling economy.

Crowds shouting "Bill" and "Boris" cheered the leaders as they arrived at the downtown convention center for their final summit session. REQUIEM MASS SET Clinton A Requiem Mass in memory of Maj. James Reilly will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church, McAdoo.

Reilly was a retired Air Force officer. He is survived by his wife, the former Joanna Didick of McAdoo. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the service. Standard-Speaker Published Daily Except Sundays and Holidays by Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Inc. 21 North Wyoming Street Hazleton, Pa.

Asked after his joint news conference with Yeltsin to compare himself to his Russian counterpart, Clinton told reporters, "We're both people's presidents.

We have a lot in common in that regard." For his part, Yeltsin said he found a partner of similar thinking. "We immediately found common language in Vancouver, probably because we're both businesslike people and at the same time, to some extent, idealists both," he said. "Bill Clinton is a serious partner," Yeltsin added. "'He is prepared to tackle the major problems confronting our two countries, in the interests of our two countries, in the interests of all free people throughout the world. Yeltsin said the summit has many achievements, at least in part because didn't sweep anything under the table.

We didn't set anything aside." Thirty years ago, another young American president, John F. Kennedy, met at the summit in Vienna with an older Soviet leader, and the result was very different. Khrushchev came away from Vienna in 1961 convinced he could outsmart and even muscle the U.S. president. Two months later he built the Berlin Wall as a barrier to the West, turning what was supposed to be a milestone disarmament discussion into a Cold War confrontation that symbolized the dangerous antipathy of the nuclear-powered states.

Two years earlier, Khrushchev had canceled a summit with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He cited the downing of a spy plane that Francis Gary Powers had flown over Soviet territory in what both sides knew was part of a long-term tradition of spying on each other. Today, with a half-dozen major nuclear arms limitation agreements, the United States and Russia are partners, almost allies, on a wide range of world problems. They are cutting their defense budgets, trying to end the war in splintered Yugoslavia and cosponsoring Arab-Israeli peace talks that are due to resume in Washington on April 20.

Both countries are committed to halting the spread of dangerous weapons. Where the Soviet Union used its veto at the United Nations for decades to block American foreign policy initiatives, the United States and Russia now work together on draft resolutions. But Washington and Moscow are not moving in lock-step. Each has its own national interests, and they are not identical. King (Continued from page 1) Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta and New York, and some have questioned whether progress toward civil rights has been halted since King's death.

"'It seems sometimes that we take two steps forward and three back," said Elisa Gilham, 63, a trustee at Ebenezer Baptist Church. King was shot April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where he was staying while in town to organize a sanitation workers' strike. James Earl Ray is serving a 99-year prison sentence for the killing. One of the largest of Sunday's tributes took place at Mason Temple in Memphis, where King gave his last speech the night before he was killed. "We have not overcome," Mayor W.W.

Herenton, who became the city's first black elected mayor in 1991, told some 4,000 people. "We still have racism, bigotry, poverty, joblessness, homelessness and greed." Later, about 300 people stood in a steady rain outside the National Civil Rights Museum (where the Lorraine once stood) for a candlelight prayer vigil and a moment of silence in King's honor. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was with King at the Lorraine, said at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, that if the nation had learned the lessons of the 1960s civil rights movement, the Los Angeles riots wouldn't have occurred. Americans still haven't learned the danger of "having large segments of society with no stake in it," he said.

Later, Jackson told a rally in nearby Los Angeles that President Clinton should have an aid program for U.S. cities like the one proposed for Russia..
