Associated Press Writer EAST BERLIN — West Germany's highest court ruled in favor of East Germany's former Communists on Saturday and threw out a plan for holding united German elections on Dec 2 The Federal Constitutional Court said the election format would deny small parties a fair chance at power in the united Germany that will be created on Wednesday Although the ruling will not halt the historic merger it is a victory for Communists who the once ruled East Germany and increases the chances they will win seats in a new Parliament The decision also will force lawmakers to scramble this week to come up with an alternative election plan and avoid postponing the first united German elections in 60 years Meanwhile the top lawman in West Berlin warned of an "alarming security situation

after four months of hard bargaining appeared to be on the verge of agreeing Saturday night to a package of tax increases and spending cuts to slash the deficit by $500 billion over five years "We're gonna get a deal" said one optimistic source close to the bipartisan White House and congressional budget talks which began May 15 Others suggested that the deal could be sealed by midnight Saturday or in the wee hours Sunday morning if no new snags develop White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater told reporters there was a good chance that President Bush would interrupt a New York sojourn and fly to Washington Sunday to sign a budget accord if negotiations yielded an agreement Negotiators are fighting a midnight Sunday deadline to come up with a package of tax increases and spending

Iraq's foreign minister made a surprise appearance in Jordan on Saturday giving rise to speculation that Saddam Hussein might be seeking to circumvent the economic embargo or open new diplomatic

had several more scheduled Sunday The highlight of Bush's three-da- y trip to New York will be his address to the UN General Assembly on Monday in which he is expected to salute the international
