Iraq's state-run television in Baghdad said Kuwait's new nine-man government would be headed by Col. Alaa Hussein Ali, who will serve as prime minister and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Sources in the Persian Gulf identified the new leader as the son-in-law of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

"The situation in Kuwait is back to normal," said Mohamed Mashat, Iraq's ambassador to Washington. "The Kuwait authorities are consolidating their control over all aspects of life." Speaking to reporters at the Iraqi Embassy, he "emphatically and categorically" denied that his country "harbors designs against the kingdom of Saudi Arabia." Iraq issued similar denials prior to its invasion of Kuwait last Thursday. In Washington, President Bush huddled with senior advisers to weigh U.S. options. Officials expressed concern Arab countries might make a deal that would accept Iraqi control over Kuwait in return for a promise that Iraq not attack any more of its neighbors.

The administration was awaiting signs that Iraq would fulfill its pledge to begin withdrawing from Kuwait today. Meanwhile Saturday, there were growing fears that Iraqi forces were moving to control Saudi oil or possibly even invade Saudi Arabia a move that would be likely to spark U.S. military intervention. Iraqi troops were reported to have gone into what is called the Neutral Zone, an area from which Kuwait and Saudi Arabia share oil earnings. Baghdad denied those reports as "false news." Under a 1966 agreement, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have jointly administered the sparsely (Please see IRAQ, Page A-4) The Associated PressSusan Biddle At Camp David Saturday, President Bush confers with, from left, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, Vice President Dan Quayle, Chief of Staff John Sununu and CIA Director William Webster.

Bush's long honeymoon is over 'Little' Joe gets a big day Morgan to join Hall of Fame BY JOHN ERARDI The Cincinnati Enquirer COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. The space next to Johnny Bench's plaque in the Baseball Hall of Fame is bare. Today, J.B. gets some company.

Joe Morgan, the little big man who made the World Champion Cincinnati Reds of 1975 and 1976 go, and in turn rode that vehicle to Cooperstown, will be immortalized in bronze next to his Big Red Machine teammate. "I'm proud of Joe, because this vindicates what we thought about him all along," said former Reds general manager Bob Howsam, who made the trade that made Morgan a Red shortly before the 1972 season. Only 21 of the 206 players in the Hall of Fame were elected the first year of eligibility. Today, at 2:30 p.m., Morgan will give the speech he's been thinking about since he learned he was Coop-erstown-bound last January "I'm not nervous, but the people around me are," Morgan said Saturday afternoon on the grounds of the Otesaga Hotel. "But I know I'm going to feel the presence of those people behind me when I get up to the microphone." "Those" people are 33 of the 56 living Hall of Famers, who will be on hand to honor Morgan and fellow inductee Jim Palmer, the Baltimore Orioles pitching great.

A crowd of 15,000 is expected to jam the park in front of the Baseball Hall of Fame library for the induction ceremony. More in Sports, Section C.

(Please see BUSH, Page A-4) Downtown remedies mix creativity, action Analysis ATA BY RICHARD GREEN The Cincinnati Enquirer It is a resplendent sight. Sunlight pierces the morning mist of the Ohio River, shrouding the jutted skyline of downtown Cincinnati, offering a near-perfect postcard setting. From afar, the horizon offers symbols of the city's vitality and economic vigor: sparkling new office towers, construction cranes, historic cultural centers and landmark corporate ness leaders.

Now, those groups say, is the time for solutions. Throughout downtown, there is a call for leaders, dreamers and movers-and-shakers from both the private sector and City Hall to step forward, work together and steer Cincinnati's development efforts. That call is being answered in many quarters. (Please see DOWNTOWN, back page, this section) CROSSROADS But once the mist rolls away, the view changes a bit. Holes in the city's fabric can be seen; reminders of the city's shortcomings in downtown development boarded-up buildings, vacant storefronts are visible.

Qualifying rounds Saturday BY JIM CALHOUN The Cincinnati Enquirer Jackie Nelson, of North Avondale, understood that the parade kicking off activities Saturday at the Midwest Regional Black Family Reunion was more than just a ceremony. "It gives me a sense of pride that kids can do something good for the community," said Nelson, watching her daughter, Frances, lead the Woodward High School band down Fifth Street. "And it gives them a sense of participating, rather than just watching.

I think we have been a generation of watchers. 1 was from that generation." About 200,000 people were expected to participate in this year's reunion, being held for the second straight year in Cincinnati. Police estimated the crowd for Saturday's events at 75,000.
