Gorbachev. Gorbachev announced the previously unscheduled meeting only hours before Bush landed in Moscow on Monday night for his three-day visit. Also high on today's agenda will be new overtures for peace in the Middle East, with Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh offering to accompany Secretary of State James A. Baker III on a joint mission to that troubled region. Baker responded cautiously, saying, "We've got a lot more talking to do." Gorbachev's inclusion of two regional leaders including his rival, Boris N.

Yeltsin, president of the Russian republic was seen as a dramatic gesture of conciliation toward the increasingly restive 15 republics. The other leader Invited is Nursultan Na-zarbayev, 51, president of the republic of Kazakhstan in Central Asia. Bush had been scheduled to meet with Yeltsin later today, anyway. But Gorbachev, going a step beyond that, invited Yeltsin and Nazarbayev to attend a preliminary meeting with Bush and Gorbachev, and then to take part in a working luncheon at the Kremlin. Although Bush was apparently caught by surprise at the change in plans, the White House said Bush was happy to oblige.

"It's President Gorbachev's prerogative to invite anybody he wants," Roman Popadiuk, a White House spokesman, said in an interview early this morning at the Mezh Hotel, where See MEET, Page 10 Negotiators Hail Accord To Cut Arms GENEVA (AP) U.S. and Soviet negotiating teams burst into applause Monday as their chief delegates initialed what is considered to be the longest and most complicated arms accord ever.

"It's always a tough decision when you are talking about life or death," said the Jury's foreman, Carl Mohme. "Given Paul's family background, the consensus was he shouldn't be given the death penalty. It was not an easy decision." In the hallway outside the courtroom, Dorothy Frederick Walker, James Frederick's sister, hugged Anderson's mother, Gloria, as both expressed condolences for the other's troubles. "It's all right with me," said Walker of the verdict. "The family has said it life in prison will be all right with them."

Sorkin Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Emory Futo the man from California suspected of killing his parents and two brothers in St. Louis, flew here on the eve of the murders and told relatives he was in town to take part in a major drug deal, police say. But Futo's tale of a $200,000 cocaine sale was merely a cover story for his real reason for coming here: murdering the rest of his family, police say. An affidavit filed in court in Riverside, describes what police have learned so far about the murders last week of four members of the Futo family. After viewing the affidavit, a judge issued a warrant allowing police to search Futo home in Rubidoux, Calif.

In the affidavit, police paint a picture of a son angry at his father, first for allegedly abusing him as a boy, and more recently for refusing to lend him large sums of money. "Emory Futo Jr. may have harbored great 111 will towards his father, based on what close family friends and relatives have told investigators regarding how the suspect and his brothers had been the victims of abuse during their childhood," St. Louis homicide Detective Joseph Nickerson says in the affidavit.

At the same time, New York indicted the bank and its Pakistani founder, Agha Hasan Abed), as well as another top executive and three affiliate institutions on charges of defrauding investors, falsifying records and stealing more than $30 million. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau called the case "the largest bank fraud in world financial history." In addition, the Federal Reserve announced that it was seeking an order barring nine people tied to the bank from involvement with U.S. banking organizations. BCCI, a privately held bank, is based in Luxembourg. The action was the strongest so far against BCCI since it was shut down by authorities around the world July 5 amid allegations that it laundered millions of dollars for drug barons, terrorists, arms dealers and intelligence agencies and cheated depositors of billions.

The indictment says loans were secretly made to customers to buy shares of three U.S. banks: First American Bankshares Inc. of Washington, National Bank of Georgia and CenTrust Savings Bank of Miami. The BCCI customers who bought the shares were not required to repay the loans, the Fed said. A Fed spokesman, Joseph Coyne, called the $200 million penalty "the largest fine we've ever assessed." But he acknowledged that the Fed's ability to collect the fine was in doubt, because BCCI has been hemorrhaging assets.

Banking regulators believe BCCI has tunneled as much as $15 billion of depositors' money into illicit activities.
