At the rally Monday, the Solidarity chairman also stressed that no alternative exists to the painful "shock" economic reforms now pinching the Polish people.

Ministers from the two Germanys joined in signing Monday's declaration and toasting it with champagne. They pledged that the reunited Germany being created this week will be dedicated to peace and good neighborliness. The two German officials spoke ministerial conferat a ence on European security and cooperation, the first such official meeting in North America.

The declaration suspends allied rights from the moment the two countries formally merge at midnight Tuesday. The suspension is a stopgap measure to allow the united Germany to be a fully sovereign county. A Sept 12 treaty must be ratified by the U.S. Senate and legislative bodies of the Soviet Union, Britain and France. Meyer's participation marked one of the final appearances on the international stage for East Germany. "United Germany wants to set a good example. The Germans commit themselves to their duty to keep the peace, and they bindingly declare that never again will Germany raise territorial claims and that it recognizes existing borders as final," Meyer said. In an emotional speech, Genscher said unification day "marks the fulfillment of a desire cherished by the German people for 45 years: to unite in peace and freedom."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) The strategically located Korean peninsula is in the vortex of rapidly developing new relationships that may change the political land-escaof Northeast Asia. For the first time since the end of World War H, countries that have been bitter adversaries and battleground enemies are talking to one another. Delicate relations are being slowly, cautiously realigned. Northeast Asia is unique in that it engages the vital interests of four of the world's great powers: the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan and China. The tense and bitterly divided Korean peninsula sits at its geographical heart. All four countries' are involved in, and will be affected by, changes in Korea. All four governments have an interest in security and peace on the peninsula and all four have economic reasons for wanting to encourage friendly ties between North and South Korea. The result is a gradual restructuring of alliances, some of them unthinkable as recently as two or three years would be the most violent action yet, the second factor someone to show up was largely missing. The result was nothing to laugh about for the Sandinistas. It was a stark public display of the dwind-in- g popularity of the party of revolution that had ruled Nicaragua for a decade. A handful of burning tires scattered around some street intersections and a demonstration by about 500 Sandinista supporters at the government complex were the only signs in Managua that it wasn't a Monday morning like any other. The demonstration was supposed to kick off a round of mass civil disobedience over the government's economic policies. Nicaraguans U.S.-back- throngs two m r GREAT iwJSteams STOREWiDE SALE ON NOW!
