East German coalition dodges collapse in election dispute
East Germany's governing coalition avoided collapse as the Social Democrats agreed to stay in cabinet after Prime Minister Lothar de Maiziere backed away from a push for dissolving East Germany to ensure a single all German election. The dispute over whether to dissolve Dec 1 or Dec 2 and whether to vote as one or two countries threatened seats in Parliament. De Maiziere hinted elections could be voted on before unification but held later, saying unified elections were not possible.
