House votes to urge U.S.
to investigate Waldheim
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted
Tuesday to urge a speedy U.S. investigation of
former U.N. Secretary-General Kurt
Waldheim's alleged Nazi past that could liar
his entry into the United Slates.
The House approved the resolution on a
voice vote under expedited procedures. It was
approved earlier in the day by the House
Judiciary Committee on a 31-0 vote.
The resolution met no strong opposition
on the House floor, but concern was voiced in
the committee meeting that U.S. congressional
action might influence upcoming elections in
Austria.
Rep Romano Mazzoli. D-Ky.. chairman of
the immigration subcommittee, said all
members of the subcommittee agreed to forgo
full hearings on the issue on the grounds that
"time was of the essence" and that the resolu
tion should be handled quickly.
"I'm trying to figure out what the urgency
is." said Rep. Henry Hyde. R-Ill "I suspect
the urgency is that Mr. Waldheim is engaged
in a runoff election in his country and the
urgency is to get this verdict in before the
election."
Supporters conceded that the IJ.S. justice
Department has an investigation already under
way and that the resolution simply would put
Congress on record in support of the
procedure.
"It would perhaps give additional sanc
tion and comfort to those who are involved in
this activity." said Mazzoli.
Hyde, who went on to vote in favor of the
resolution, said it might lie better to defer con
gressional action until after the June 8
Austrian presidential runoff election so as not
to have any influence on the vote.
Rep. Hamilton Fish of New York, ranking
Republican on the committee, said he was
aware of the risk but decided that it was more
important that the United States take a stand as
a matter of principle.
"For the United States not to make a deci
sion at this time is too close an analogy to the
silence that was evidenced by the civilized
world some 44 years ago," Fish said.
Typhoon leaves thousands homeless
PORT MORESBY. Papua
New Guinea (AP) — Typhoon
Naimi may have left more than
one-third of the Solomon
Islands' population homeless, a
news report said, and
widespread damage forced the
postponement of foreign relief
efforts Tuesday.
There has been no official
figure on the death toll or
number of people made
homeless in the Pacific chain.
The Australian Associated
Press, in a report from Port
Moresby, quoted unidentified
relief workers in estimating
90,000 people were homeless
and 50 others missing.
Officials said the storm roared

Early reports from the
Solomon Islands official broad
cast service said damage to the
nation's copra crop was severe.
"But we're still not sure of
the extent of damage," said
Dykes Angiki. news editor of
the Solomon Islands Broad
casting Corp He told The
Associated Press by telephone
that the Guadalcanal plains out
side Honiara, the capital, and
outlying islands were badly
affected.
“Some places are very
remote,’' he said. “It will take a
couple of days before we know
the toll.”

240.000. The Guadalcanal plain
was the site of the first U.S. vic
tory against Japanese land
based forces in World War II.
