Diaries of Goebbels found in Moscow: Hitler cheered as Jews are attacked LONDON (AP) The first complete copy of the diaries of Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister to Hitler, show the two men rejoicing in attacks on Jews, a newspaper reported on Sunday. A German historian discovered the diaries a few weeks ago in the Central Government Archives in Moscow. Vladimir Kozlov, deputy chairman of the Russian Archive Committee, has confirmed the journals are genuine. The Sunday Times said it will begin serializing parts of the diaries on July 12.
The newspaper said they include Goebbels' account of the outbreak of war in 1939, the purge of "unreliable" Nazis in the "Night of the Long Knives," Hitler's reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the failed plot to kill him. In one passage, Goebbels rejoices in Kristallnacht, the night in November 1938 when many Jewish homes and businesses were attacked, The Sunday Times said. "The sky is blood red the synagogue is burning. Bravo! Bravo!" he wrote. Goebbels also describes giving Hitler the first news of demonstrations against Jews in Berlin: "He (Hitler) decrees the demonstrations should go ahead.
It is time the Jews felt the wrath of the people. That's right. I give the instruction to the police and the party." The next day, according to The Sunday Times, he records telling the German leader of his success: "The action itself has gone off perfectly. 100 dead. But no German property damaged." Meanwhile, police on Saturday arrested rive protesters during scuffles outside a meeting addressed by David Irving, a controversial historian contracted to transcribe the diaries for The Sunday Times.

Summit leaders go to work; Russia and IMF agree on aid MUNICH, Germany (AP) Leaders of the world's richest nations gathered Sunday for their 18th annual economic summit as negotiators for Russia and the International Monetary Fund cleared a major obstacle holding up billions of dollars in Western aid for Moscow.
The breakthrough set the stage for a more harmonious session when Russian President Boris Yeltsin meets Wednesday with President Bush and the leaders of the other summit countries Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Italy. Yeltsin's appearance was expected to dominate the 18th annual economic summit although other issues ranging from a feeble world economy and stalled global trade talks to a bloody civil war in the Yugoslavia were certain to compete for attention. Bush was one of the last leaders to arrive in Munich, stopping first for an emotional visit to Poland, where he told flag -waving crowds to persevere in their economic reform efforts despite short-term hardships. "Poland's time of trial is not caused by private enterprise, but by the stubborn legacy of four decades of communist misrule," Bush said. "Make no mistake: the path you have chosen is the right path." Once in Munich, Bush wasted no time getting about the business of the summit, holding a working dinner with French President Francois Mitterrand.
At the conclusion of the dinner, French officials reported no specific breakthroughs in the impasse between the United States and France over farm subsidies and said Bush and Mitterrand had discussed the issue for only 10 minutes. German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the summit host, said in a television interview that he did not expect the three days of talks to make any major progress on trade. French officials, speaking on grounds of anonymity, said that Bush and Mitterrand spent most of the evening discussing plans for creating a French-German military corps whose formation the U.S. government fears would undermine the role of NATO. Mitterrand's government is seen by the United States as the chief roadblock to a successful conclusion of talks aimed at liberalizing world trade because of its objections to cutting farm subsidies.
The summit was to begin Monday at a former royal palace in the center of this 800-year-old city. Security was extremely tight as the city put 9,000 police officers on patrol and took other precautions to avoid the terrorism that marred Munich's last moment in the world spotlight, the 1972 summer Olympics. Just as last year's summit in London was dominated by the first ever appearance of a communist leader, then-Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, at capitalism's most exclusive gathering, this year's summit was preoccupied with how the West should respond to Yeltsin. Bush and Kohl announced in April a $24 billion Western aid package. However, much of that money was contingent on Russia receiving approval from the IMF for its economic reform efforts.
Town running scared: Maharishi eyes base for Transcendental RANTOUL, Ill. (AP) Civic leaders have been praying for a solution to an economic crisis expected after Chanute Air Force Base closes. But they aren't sending out the Welcome Wagon for Maharishi Mahash Yogi. Maharishi International University, an arm of the Transcendental Meditation movement, has applied with the Defense Department to turn the base into a university and conference center for followers of the guru. The Pentagon is closing the base next year and this community of 20,000 in east-central Illinois has been searching frantically for something to replace the huge economic input of the base's 12,000 workers.
If the school's application is accepted, it could qualify under rules designed to encourage use of abandoned bases for educational purposes or other public benefit. Maharishi International could get the 2,500 acres, including golf course, bowling alley and nearly 300 buildings, for free. "It's maddening, totally maddening," said Mayor Katy Podagrosi. Podagrosi and other city leaders say turning the base over to Maharishi International would make it a self-contained operation that would provide nothing to the community. As an educational institution, the Maharishi's school would pay no property tax, unlike factories and small businesses Rantoul had hoped to attract.
But Robert Oates, spokesman for the school's main campus in Fairfield, Iowa, said the university community would be an asset to the economy. He said a university would be "the single best thing that could happen" to Rantoul. Thousands of Transcendental Meditation adherents have moved to Iowa to be close to the university there, he said. "We're not in sandals and robes and long hair," he said. "We're clean-cut, well-dressed.
We meditate, but we don't live some odd lifestyle." The guru, who lives in the Netherlands, has been active in the United States since the 1960s. He teaches that four hours of daily meditation and chanting can create world peace and reverse the aging process, among other things. Podagrosi said the federal govrious consideration to the appliernment appears to be giving secation. She said she sent outraged letters to the Pentagon, but got a reply from David Cannan, director of the Air Force Base Disposal Agency, noting that he must consider "all reasonable alternatives for reuse" of the base. Goodwill trailer burns; furniture, clothing destroyed to on it AST Associated Press Alien Museum Glen Davis, Max Littell and Walter Haut have announced plans for a UFO museum in Roswell, scene of one of the first Unidentified Flying Objects reports 45 years ago.
Haut, then an Army Air corps spokesman, issued a news release detailing the crash of a flying disc. The Army said it was a weather balloon. Fireworks spark blaze that covers 120 acres SAN ANTONIO (AP) Eleven fire units spent much of Sunday battling a multi-alarm blaze one official said was caused by fireworks. About 120 acres of brushy field in Northeast Bexar County were charred. Flames came as close as 100 yards to one subdivision.
Two firefighters were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. Homeowners were not evacuated, but many in the Estates of Encino Park hosed down their lawns and roofs. A dumpster fire spread to the Abilene Goodwill Industries' trailer at 1246 Pine St. Sunday night, destroying all the clothes and furniture inside. Fire investigator Dennis Haas said he did not believe that the person who set the trash receptacle on fire intended to set the trailer on fire.
At presstime he did not know what started the fire, but he did say he spoke with a woman about two people she had seen in the alley. He said, however, that she was unable to supply a really good description of them. The fire was reported by an Abilene police patrolman. But Doc Farley of the National Wrecker Service had already discovered the blaze and was able to move the trailer out of the way so that the Goodwill building wouldn't catch on fire, fire district chief Ken Nichols said. Nichols said that it took about 20 minutes to extinguish the initial blaze once it was called in around 19 p.m.
However, flames would occasionally flare up because the firefighters were unable to get water on smoldering hot spots in the furniture upholstery. Haas said it would take the firefighters several hours to pick through all of the articles in the trailer to make sure it wouldn't catch on fire again. Haas said that there are no suspects. Prison 'disturbance' reported; at least 2 hurt at Leavenworth LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) A disturbance was reported Sunday night at a maximum-security federal prison.
One official confirmed there were injuries, but no other details were available. Sirens sounded, and police barricaded four blocks in front of the prison, which has nearly 1,700 inmates in its maximum-security unit. Prison officials refused to comment. A man who answered the telephone in the prison office told The Associated Press to call Monday for details. "It's a disturbance," said Frank Emma, a supervisor at the U.S.
Marshal's office in Kansas City, "Some people have gotten hurt." Cushing Memorial Hospital was treating two injured people, a hospital spokeswoman said..
