Soviets split on Gorbachev reform plan at Central Committee
In Moscow liberal Communist leaders challenge Mikhail Gorbachev's plan to end the party monopoly on power, favoring faster reforms, while hard liners led by Yegor Ligachev call for a careful review. The two day Central Committee session debates a bill of rights aimed at placing people and well being at the center of policy, with economy and ethnic unrest pressing. The dispute mirrors a broader struggle between progressives and conservatives over moving toward multiparty politics within a democratic framework. Trud reports Sverdlovsk party chief resigns over reform stance amid anti democratic charges.
