THE a 319 EDUCAIIOHAL GROUP Dominik • 764-8303 Page 8 The Battalion Wednesday, December^ Japan OKs troop deployment TOKYO (AP) - Nearly 50 years after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, lawmakers on Tuesday passed a controversial plan allow ing Japan to send ground forces overseas for the first time since World War II. Legislators considered draft ing a formal apology in time for the anniversary of the Pearl Har bor attack on Saturday. The bill creating a peacekeep ing corps of up to 2,000 soldiers still must be approved by the up per house, where its opponents plan to delay a final vote. Eventu al passage is expected. Bitter debate over the proposal underscored the raw emotions concerning any action dealing with the military or evoking mem ories of the nation's World War II defeat. Last week, a brawl in Parlia ment erupted between opposition lawmakers and Liberal Democrats who pushed the bill through a special committee. Lawmakers worry about the West's criticism that Japan avoids its global responsibilities by rely ing on "checkbook diplomacy" — sending money but few personnel in world crises such as the Persian Gulf War. Japan deployed minesweepers to the gulf after the cease-fire. Opponents say the bill violates Japan's postwar pacifist constitu tion, which renounces the use of military force overseas. About 3,000 anti-military demonstrators rallied against the bill in Tokyo af ter it was passed by a 311-167 vote. Also, neighbors such as China and the two Koreas, which suf fered Japanese attacks this centu ry, are uneasy about any hint of a rebirth of Japanese militarism. Accuser's friend testifies Says she responded to 'cry for help' Gorbachev pushes Union Treaty WEST PALM BEACH, Fla (AP) — A friend of William Kennedy Smith's accuser testified Tuesday she rushed to the Kennedy estate in response to a cry for help and found the MOSCOW (AP) - President Mikhail S. Gorbachev warned Tuesday that the disintegration of the Soviet Union will lead to mis fortune, catastrophe and war, but Russia hastened the breakup by recognizing Ukraine's new state hood. Saying the country was experi encing a destructive "crisis of statehood," Gorbachev urged law makers across the Soviet Union to approve his proposed Union Treaty. "The breakup of such a multi ethnic commu nity will bring misfortunes upon millions of our people, which will out balance all pos sible temporary benefits from the treaty. "A breakup is fraught with in terethnic, interrepublic clashes, even wars," he said. "That would be a catastrophe for the entire global community." woman sheveled, shak ing and cryin| hysterically.

Gorbachev Gorbachev said in a state ment distributed to lawmakers in all 12 republics, not just those sev en who have said they will sign Coming one day after Ukraini an officials announced that voters in the republic had overwhelm ingly approved a referendum on independence, Gorbachev's com ments amounted to a desperate plea to save some form of union as well as what little remains of his dwindling authority. 31, Microbic Israel insists on delay Baker says talks will continue regardless hut! WASHINGTON (AP) — New Mideast peace talks Tuesday headed toward an uncertain opening round with Israel still insisting on a delay and prospects of Arab negotiators confronting an empty Israeli chair. Secretary of State James A. Baker III arranged for the talks to open Wednesday at 10 a.m. even if Israel failed to show up. Delegations from Syria, Lebanon and Jordan joined with Palestinians challenging the Israelis to at tend, but the Israeli Cabinet decided Sunday its ne gotiators needed until Monday to prepare to deal with the Arabs on three fronts. Israel also wants to stagger the talks so that there would be an interlude between its negotiations with three Arab delegations. That, too, was rejected in the Bush administra tion's arrangements. "We were invited to come for bilateral talks for the 4th in Washington," said Hanan Ashrawi, spokeswoman for the Palestinian delegation. "We are not going to sit around twiddling our thumbs." Ashrawi said the Palestinians "can't give any promises" they will still be here on Dec. 9, when Is rael says it will appear. That day, she said, comes a day after the fourth anniversary of the start of the "intefadeh" Palestini an uprising in the occupied territories, and her group had other commitments.

In Bradenton, Fla., President Bush said he understands the plight of Americans who have lost jobs and income power and declared "we can't sit back and hope for the best." Bush offered no initiatives for stimulating growth, but acknowledged to workers at a Tropicana juice plant that "much more needs to be done." The pallid increase in the Commerce De partment's Index of Leading Economic Indica tors followed a 0.1 percent decline in Sept. The index, designed to forecast the econo my six to nine months in advance, was un changed in Aug. The Departments of Commerce and Hous ing and Urban Development also released on Tuesday a report showing a 2.2 percent in crease in new home sales in Oct, the seventh gain since the housing recession hit bottom last Jan. Sales were mixed, advancing in the Mid west and South while falling in the Northeast and West. Overall, sales were 7.9 percent be low Oct. 1990.
