PAGE 2 PRESS-REPUBLICAN GENERAL NEWS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1995 NEWS IN BRIEF INTERNATIONAL Child prostitution drawing tourists in Kenya NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Child prostitution is rampant in Kenya and has become a major tourist attraction, says the representative for the U.N. Children's Fund. The trade is drawing men from Europe, America and the Middle East, Chrispin Wilson of UNICEF said in a speech delivered by his information officer Monday. He gave no statistics, but said girls are the main victims. \Girls are particularly vulnerable to being forced into prostitution under the existing societal and cultural pressure,\ he said, blaming socioeconomic problems, greed and immorality. Wilson also condemned female circumcision in Kenya, a practice he said affects 50 percent of Kenya's women. He urged the government to put in place legal measures and educational reforms to end prostitution and to work toward eliminating all forms of discrimination against women. Carter outlines plan for return of Rwanda refugees GOMA, Zaire (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter urged Hutu refugee camp leaders to cooperate with plans to send 6,000 ref- ugees a day home to Rwanda and Burundi. According to the plan drawn up by regional officials, refugees who volunteer will be return- ed peacefully, Carter told about 50 leaders from refugee camps around Goma. The camp leaders, members of a new Hutu political party, The Movement for Return of Democracy in Rwanda, appeared reluctant to cooperate with any repatriation effort. \No intimidation to prevent the return of refugees will be permitted,\ Carter cautioned. \I expect your full cooperation in assisting us in organizing the return of the refugees.\ The camp leaders, in a joint communique they gave to Carter, demanded direct negotiations with the Rwandan governm- ent, new elections in Rwanda, and the integration of Hutus into the Rwandan army with a goal of making it 50 percent Hutu and 50 per- cent Tutsi. Yeltsin quips with cameramen in brief TV appearance MOSCOW (AP) — In his third TV appearance since he was hospi- talized last month, President Boris Yeltsin jokingly told cameramen Tuesday to photograph him from all sides to prove he is not para- lyzed. Yeltsin, meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, appeared upbeat as the two chatted in his hospital suite in front of a TV camera crew and photographers. As the meeting started, Yeltsin, dressed in a business suit, told them to photograph him from all angles. He turned around, then circled a small table to display himself from all sides. \They say the president's right side is para- lyzed because cameramen shoot him only from the left,\ Yeltsin said with a smile. Okinawa landowners may have to renew base leases TOKYO (AP) — Moving to preserve Japan's security alliance with the United States, Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama threatened on Tuesday to force landowners on Okinawa to renew their leases with the U.S. military. Opposition to the U.S. military presence has grown since the Sept. 4 rape of an Okinawan schoolgirl that is blamed on three U.S. servicemen. Some landowners have since refused to renew leases to the Americans. The top Cabinet spokesman said Murayama is sympathetic to the Okinawans' concerns and supports a reduction or streamlining of the U.S. presence there. But the spokesman said the prime minister \had to make this move.\ \We have waited as long as we can,\ said Chief Cabinet Secretary Koken Nosaka. NATIONAL Specter, lonely GOP moderate, prepares to fold WASHINGTON (AP) - Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, languishing with scant resources and little visible support for his moderate message, prepared Tuesday to end his Republican presidential campaign. Specter's departure from the race would leave a GOP field of eight can- didates dominated by conservatives. He planned to a formal announcement of his decision today in Philadelphia. \I'm not going to go into debt,\ Specter said Tuesday during a visit to the Pitts- burgh Post-Gazette. He said the final word would be \basically a dollars and cents decision.\ Specter, who failed to rise above 2 percent in the ^^ Sp«et«r polls, had sought to pull his party back from what he considered a far right tilt influenced by intolerant extremists. Without directly confirming his decision, Specter indicated he could reopen his campaign \if lightning were to strike\ and moderates demanded his candidacy. Brown & Williamson sues \60 Minutes' source LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A tobacco executive whose interview with \60 Minutes\ was spiked for legal reasons was sued for theft, fraud and breach of contract Tuesday by his former employer, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, former vice presi- dent of research for the Louisville-based company, reportedly said in the CBS interview that B&W had scrapped plans to make a safer cig- arette and continued to use a flavoring in pipe tobacco that was known to cause cancer in laboratory animals. He also claimed that B&W lawyers altered documents in an attempt to delete any refer- ences to the company's efforts at making a safer cigarette. CBS pulled the segment because of legal concerns, but portions of the interview were leaked last week to the New York Daily News. Brown & Williamson accused CBS of leaking the transcript, an allegation that CBS News President Eric Ober denied. Gingrich vows no compromise* on budget deal NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - House Speaker Newt Gingrich accused the White House of \absolutely tawdry\ budget politics Tuesday and declared the Republicans \will not compromise\ in the crucial negotiations that begin next week. Gingrich also said that President Clinton, in a telephone call, had affirmed a commitment to balancing the fed- eral budget in seven years. But Clinton's spokesman said the White House was sticking to its stance that the budget-balancing effort must be coupled with consideration for the administra- tion's spending priorities. Outlining GOP plans to Republican governors, Gingrich said negotiations would begin Tuesday or Wednesday and he voiced \«wt Gingrich optimism a deal could be reached before the temporary spending agreement expires Dec. 15. But he also told the governors to prepare for another government shutdown if no settlement is reached by then. One non-negotiable item, he said, is a capital gains tax cut retroactive to Jan. 1. He also said Republicans were committed to a $500-per- child tax credit, and he said he hoped to maintain a $5,000 adoption tax credit. Deer attacks woman offering apple slices ENTERPRISE, Ore. (AP) — A woman who tried to feed apple slices to deer was hospitalized after being attacked by a buck that tossed her into the air with his antlers. Mary Stodley, 63, broke her tail bone and suffered a severe cut to her right ear when the buck at- tacked at the popular Wallowa Lake campground. Stodley had just gotten out of the car to offer a group of does the apple slices with her daughter, Sheila Dahlman, and grandsons Alex and Sean. \He flipped Mom up in the air and she came down on her head,\ Dahlman said. \He lowered his head again and charged her again. She put up her arms and I thought he was goring her chest and face. I started throwing things. I threw the camera, then some rocks.\ Dahlman chased the buck away and rushed her mother to the hospital. PEACE... Continued from Page 1 winners and there could be no winners,\ Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic said. \All are losers. Only peace is a victory. ... The solutions achieved here in- clude painful concessions by all sides.\ \This may not be a just peace, but it is more just than a con- tinuation of war,\ Bosnia's Presi- dent Alija Izetbegovic said. \In the world as it is, a better peace will not have been achieved.\ For his part, Croatian Presi- dent Franjo Tudjman said he thought the accord \would result in lasting peace and create condi- tions for the establishment of a new world order in this part of the world.\ Clinton reaffirmed his inten- tion to send American ground troops to take part in a NATO peacekeeping force but said there would be \no complete deploy- ment\ until Congress is heard on the issue. \Without us, the hard-won peace would be lost,\ he said. That view was echoed.by Bosnia's resigning foreign minister, Muhamed Sacirbey, who stressed in an interview that \if the U.S. is not there to lead, I'm afraid one can see the entire deal collapse.\ . House Speaker Newt Gingrich, striking a conciliatory not, said that he viewed the deployment of U.S. ground forces \skeptically but with an open mind\ and that hearings would be held next week. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole said he hoped the agree- ment does more than paper over differences. \At long last Ameri- can leadership is being exercis- ed,\ the GOP presidential con- tender said. \I only hope that it is being exercised in the pursuit of the right objectives.\ The Pentagon announced that Defense Secretary William Perry will travel to Brussels, Belgium, next week to consult with NATO allies on the Bosnia peace mis- sion. Pentagon spokesman Capt. Michael Doubleday said an \enabling force\ of up to 2,000 soldiers from NATO countries — including the United States — would go to Bosnia to.prepare the way for the main NATO peace force. U.S. troops in the advance teams would go only after Clin- ton approved U.S. participation, but before the Bosnia peace deal JEjE AIRTIME UNTIL YOU CAN FEEL YOUR TOES AGAIN. FREE FLIP!

Doubleday also said 2,000 to 3,000 U.S. military reservists are expected to be deployed in the Bosnia operation. The House voted 243-171 last Friday to prevent money from being spent to send U.S. troops to Bosnia unless Clinton first gets congressional approval. The ad- ministration insists the Constitu- tion does not require congres- sional approval for such troop deployments. The peace settlement will turn on whether Serbs, Croats and Muslims can pull together after a war in which an estimated quarter-million people perished. A key provision of the accord commits the parties to cooperate with a U.N. war crimes tribunal and excludes Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serbs' indicted political and mili- tary leaders, from any position of authority in the new Bosnia. \The war is over,\ Milosevic declared in an interview with Serbian state TV. \We now have borders which cannot be jeopar- dized because any such attempt will be considered an act of ter- rorism.\ But Bosnian Serb leaders were Keeping the peace in Bosnia The peace agreement calls for a NATO-lad force of an estimated 60,000 troops made up primarily of U.S. t French and British forces. Under both NATO and President Clinton's orders: B 20,000 U.S. troops, likely headquartered in Tuzla, would take orders only from the American general who commands NATO and would have the authority to respond with force to any threat against them. D The cost to the United States would be $1 billion to $1.5 billion. B Forces would begin moving into Bosnia when the three Balkan presidents agree to implement the pact with peaceful intent and \absolutely minimaT violence. B The United States is preparing plans to send a separate force to Bosnia to help train the Bosnian government military. 11 w:=i AP/Wm.J.Castello harshly critical, raising questions whether Milosevic could force them to go along.
