The Neues Deutschland report notes the party will resist reunification with West Germany and will pursue only socialist aligned reforms. Opposition groups press corruption probes against former leaders, as Premier Modrow meets with U S Secretary Baker who voices support for democratic reforms.

Annexation near Frederick could add students to schools
A 66 acre annexation on the southwest edge of Frederick may raise school enrollment by about 20 students, with final Board of Aldermen approval and a Feb 1 public hearing set. The land, north of I 70 and east of Monarch Ridge, could host about 210 homes under conventional zoning or about 480 homes under a Planned Neighborhood Development, though access may limit that option. The property is to be sold by Lenore Humberson to Alan I. Kay Co. and connected to Monarch Ridge utilities.

Sexton's new trial bid heard in murder case
John Paul Sexton of Monrovia seeks a new trial after conviction for robbing and shooting Marc Daniel Uher in Mount Airy with a .22 pistol. He claims the judge erred by admitting autopsy photos and emphasizing testimony. Prosecutors say the shooting was to hide the robbery and money was used to buy crack. Sexton remains jailed in Frederick County.
