Baker trip yields hope but no arms pact reached
Secretary of State James A. Baker III returned from a 10 day postwar tour of the Middle East and Soviet Union with optimism about regional reconciliation but no progress on reducing European non nuclear forces or securing a START agreement. U S officials blamed Soviet military opposition for stalled talks and said no rescheduled Moscow summit until treaty work is complete.

Consumers warned of rising local scams targeting vulnerable residents
State and local consumer protection offices and the Council of Better Business Bureaus warn residents about scams aimed at low income or homebound individuals. Officials urge thorough checks of credit repair, job listing, interest free loan and work at home offers before sending money. Mary Horsch notes an uptick in calls about at home services and job listings and advises researching companies and avoiding commitments without clear services. Rebecca Torrey of Lawrence reported envelope stuffing ads using a Lawrence post office box. See Consumers, page 15A.
