Brady acknowledged that the lending organization needs more money to meet new demand for its loans from Eastern European countries moving from communism to capitalism, as well as for developing nations. Although the United States had supported a smaller boost, he said it has agreed to 50 percent as a compromise.

The third Baltic republic, Estonia, last month declared its intention to secede but set no date and left the door open for negotiations with the Kremlin. Gorbunov said Latvian lawmakers were drafting a response to Gorbachev's request for documents concerning the Latvian declaration, "and this material will be sent to Moscow at any moment." The request indicated the Soviet leader had not decided whether Latvia's action was closer to that taken by Lithuania or Estonia. oc- IUSH: (Continued from Page Al) meeting yesterday.

"But what they did agree to last night was that they would not get involved in discussions about taxation or specific issues, but rather would stick to the phrase of 'no preconditions' and begin an open debate that is unfettered with conclusions about positions taken in the past," he said. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell had insisted that the talks proceed without preconditions, Fitz-watsaid. Even before Gorbunov's an- nouncement, Latvian deputies were discounting Rubiks' report that Gorbachev had immediately rejected the Latvian declaration and threatened sanctions. Legislator Janis Krumins said Latvians who spoke with Valentin Falin, head of the International Department of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee in Congressional leaders emerged Sunday from an unusual, private meeting with Bush in his private White House quarters saying serious negotiations now are likely with everything on the table, including taxes.

Lithuanian lawmaker Nikolai Medvedev, visiting the Latvian capital of Riga, said it appeared that although the three Baltic republics have taken different approaches to their independence drives, "the answer is the same."

As the group home resident once charged with the most serious crimes, Murphy has been the center of controversy that arose among neighbors and in the community after the home opened. Public Defender Kent Willis was appointed by the court to represent Murphy againt the pending criminal charges. Murphy's civil lawyer is Lisa Maiyy of Salt Lake's Legal Center for the Handicapped.

Emergency workers helped sandbag rising streams in Arkansas, and a reservoir on the line that flooded shoreline homes reached a record height and kept rising. The death toll from the flooding caused by last week's thunderstorms stood at six today, all in Texas. Twelve Texas deaths have been blamed on weather in the past several weeks. The Red Cross in Texas counted 723 dwellings destroyed and more than 2,000 damaged in the last two weeks by the state's most serious flooding since 1908. Water from the Trinity stood several feet deep in the Rochester Park area outside Dallas, and some Texas-Oklaho- houses were submerged. Flood stage is 30 feet and the Trinity stood at 43.8 feet in Dallas early today. More than 400 residents were evacuated last week. Alester Crumbley said this is the third time in a year his home has been flooded. He moved back in two weeks ago after spending 0 and several months rebuilding from two floods last year. "I don't think 111 be able to do it again, I'm so deep in debt," he said. North Texas has had 22.06 inches of rainfall in the first four months of 1990, the most since 1922. As much as 7 inches of rain fell within 24 hours in some areas in past days. Flooding continued in rural counties along the Trinity south of Dallas, as high water washed out levees. At Trinidad, 60 miles southeast of Dallas, the river was 47.5 feet deep Sunday, far above the flood stage. $11,-00- 28-fo-ot High winds kill at least 7 - SEATTLE (AP) High winds battering parts of Washington and British Columbia over the weekend were blamed in at least seven deaths, including that of a man who survived a boating tragedy only to be hit by a train.
