Show more work is needed, the London- based human mghts group said. Also Friday, Willie L. Williams was privately sworn in as Los An- geles’ police chief. The former Philadelphia police commissioner will take over immediately upon Chief Daryl Gates’ retirement at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. In a scathing report, AmnestyInternational said people who pose little or no threat to officers or deputies have been shot, beaten, shocked with electric stun guns and bitten by police dogs. “At times it has even amounted to torture or cruel, inhumanor degrading treatment,” the group said. “More often than not, officers and deputies have acted with impunity, receiving little or no disciplinary Martin. “It is one of a numberof current human rights scandals in the U.S. that undermineits credibility in promoting rights internationally.” Police Officer Arthur Holmes said his department would probably comment on the report Mon- day or Tuesday, after officials had time to read it. A call to the Sheriffs Department was not immediately returned. Copies of the report were sent to both agencies by overnight mail Thursday, said Amnesty International spokesman Josh Rubenstein. The report, prompted by the King beating, was released as Amnesty International USA openedits annual general meeting. The report is a key part of the organization’s broader condemnation of human rights abuses in the United States. sheriff's officials cooperated in explaining use-of-force policies, but refused to provide information on internal disciplinary actions in spe- cific cases, citing rules of confidentiality. Gates and Sheriff Sherman Block were among the law enforcement officials that Amnesty International representatives met with, the report said. Martin said he hoped Williams would take steps to curb brutality. “I’m very hopeful the new chief of the Los Angeles Police Department will take our recommendations to heart,” he said. The report did not deal with police conduct during riots that broke out after the acquittal of four white officers charged in the King case.

Church fires flare up in Florida GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A meeting hall of. a church that was severely damaged byan arsonist 12 years ago burned Friday, anda building atanother church burned a few hourslater, authorities said. Gainesville was one of the Florida cities victimized by a series of 50 churchfires since April 1990. Thefirst fire today heavily damaged the fellowship hall of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, destroyed a nearby building containing a resale shop and did smoke and water damage to other buildngs. , Hours later a building at Grace United Methodist Church containing classrooms and offices was heavily damaged, said Stuart Schwartz, a spokesman for the Gainesville fire department. Damage there was estimated at $300,000. And the nearby Fort Clark Baptist Church was ransacked aboutthe same time. Sculpture honors ex-hostage BATAVIA, N.Y. — Former hostage Terry Anderson snapped the chains on a sculpture of himself Friday in the town where he grew up as thousands cheered. Anderson, 44, told the crowd of 2,000 in a shop- ping mall that he felt blessed by God for allowing “me to keep what was good out of those years” in captivity. With two blows of a mallet, Anderson broke the clay chains on a bust that stood in the mall since 1989 as a reminder of the hostages in Lebanon. Sculptor Louis Dlugosz held the chisel and presented the bust to Anderson. It was Anderson’s first visit to Batavia, a town east of Buffalo where he lived from age 7 to 17, since he was released in Decemberafter nearly seven years in captivity.

Robert Byrd apologized Friday on the Senate floor for questioning whether the United States should continue accepting immigrants who speak no English, blaming it on the “heat of the moment.” Butin an earlier, unrelated dispute with a fellow lawmakerthat reached decidedly unsenatorial levels, the Senate’s top official uncharacteristically told his colleague to “shut his own mouth.” The remarks came as a testy Senate struggled through a two-day, partisan deadlock over a Republican proposal for a balanced-budget amendmentto the Constitution. By day’s end, Democrats and Republicans agreed to a series of votes likely to kill the amendment for the year Tuesday or Wednesday. Thatwill clear the way for debate on a $24billion aid package for formerSoviet states that is a priority of many lawmakers and President Bush. Before that, however, Byrd took to the Senate floor to acknowledge that remarks he made about immigrants during debate Thursday might have of- ~ fended people. “I regret that in the heat of the moment I spoke unwisely,” said Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat who, as president pro tempore, is its top-ranked member.
