Communism takes a blow in Hungary
BUDAPEST, Hungary - (AP) Hard-line opponents of reform
said Sunday that the national Communist Party, dissolved by delegates
to a party congress, still exists and its fate must be decided by its
entire membership.
Congress delegates on Saturday voted to dissolve the party saying
"its history ... has ended." The Communist Party, officially called
the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party, is to be replaced by the Hungarian
Socialist Party, according to the congress resolution. Reform
leaders said the new party would be similar to Western European socialist
parties.

ORLANDO, Fla. - (AP) About 200 faithful followers and a few
curious tourists attended services at Jim and Tammy Bakker's shopping
center church-studio Sunday, but the convicted evangelist and his
wife were absent.
Bakker, convicted last week of bilking his PTL ministry followers
of $3.7 million, returned with his wife to his rented Orlando home
Saturday. Windows at the house were soaped over to ensure no one
could see inside.
Bakker is scheduled to be sentenced Oct 24, and faces up to 120
years in prision and $5 million in fines on 24 counts of fraud and
conspiracy.

Conferen
to end ivi
By The Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland ?
Wildlife specialists squared off
Sunday for a bitter fight over how
to keep Africa's fast-dwindling
elephant population from vanishing
forever into ivory piano keys and
chess pieces.
Delegates from more than 100
countries will meet until Oct. 20 at
the biennial conference of the Convention
on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna
and Flora, known as CITES. The
conference began Sunday with
strategy sessions and formally
opens Monday.
Although they will also consider
the smooth-coated otter, the
i salmon-crested cockatoo and a
Noah's Ark of other species, attention
is focused on pachyderms and
their valuable ivory.
By some reckoning, the great
lumbering African elephant, for
many an unmatchable symbol of
the wild, will survive mainly in
zoos by the turn of the century.
"When we talk about halving
the population in 10 years, we're
talking about disaster," Iain
Douglas-Hamilton, a widely respected
expert, said in a telephone
interview from Kenya.
David Western of Wildlife Conservation
International, who commissioned
the last census, said:
J "Numbers are dropping so fast ele

Overall, he said, just more than
600,000 remain in Africa, compared
to estimates ranging from
1.3 million to 4 million a decade
ago. Each year, poachers kill at
least 70,000, often spraying gunfir/*

with the few old tuskers left
In Kenya alone, fewer than
17,000 are left of the 165,000 elephants
counted in 1970.
The convention's rulings come
in the form of non-legally binding
agreements that rely on international
pressure for enforcement A
CITES member can opt out of a
resolution, but that casts it in the
role of environmental bad guy.
CITES delegates must find common
ground between the East African
demand for an ivory ban,
backed by the United States and
Western Europe, and southern Africa's
push for trade in culled
tusks.
Zimbabwe, South Africa and
Botswana argue that careful management
has increased their herds
and that ivory finances anti-*
poaching measures.
Zimbabwe earns $9 million a
year by selling ivory from herds
estimated at 52,000.
