GAO urges
adoption
of Canadian
health system
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. government could extend
health care to all its citizens and
still save money by adopting
Canada's national system,
according to a draft congressio
nal report to be released Tues-
day.
The General Accounting Of
fice's study of Canada's 20-year-
old health care program con
cluded that the Unitea States has
much to learn from its neigh
bor's government-run system,
which streamlines administra
tive costs and reduces paper
work for physicians and hospi
tals.
"If the universal coverage and
single-payer features of the Ca
nadian system were applied in
the United States, the savings in
administrative costs alone would
be more than enough to finance
insurance coverage for the mil
lions of Americans who are cur
rently uninsured," the report
said.

France to sign nuclear non-proliferation treaty
PARIS (AP) — France an
nounced Monday that it will sign
the 1968 nuclear Non-Prolifera
tion Treaty, and at the same time
unveiled a global disarmament
proposal to control and limit all
arms and weapons of mass de
struction.
Its decision to sign the treaty,
23 years after its initial signature
by 142 nations, including the So
viet Union, Britain and France,
means that among the five pro
fessed nuclear powers, only
China is still outside the non
proliferation fold.
Six die in Middle East
during demonstration
RANIYAH, Iraq (AP) — In the
worst outbreak or violence since
an April cease-fire, Kurds and
Iraqis have clashed in three
northern Iraqi cities, reports and
witnesses said Monday.
Four Kurds and two Iraqi offi
cials of the ruling Baath Party
were killed in one demonstration
in Dohuk in which Kurds urged
U.S. troops to stay in northern
Iraq, Turkey's Anatolia news
agency reported.
The violence took place out
side the allied-policed security
zone and neither U.S. troops nor
U.N. forces intervened.
Many Kurds believe Iraq will
move against them when the al
lies leave northern Iraq. The al
lies established a security zone
for Kurds who fled after their
anti-government uprising failed
and have not said when they will
leave.
Only about 33,000 refugees are
still in tent settlements in the se
curity zone in northern Iraq, of
the 450,000 people who fled in
March after the failed rebellion.
Hundreds of thousands have re
turned to their homes or remain
along the Iran-Iraq border.
The Cukurca camp, the last
haven on the Turkish-Iraqi bor
der still open, had fewer than
1,000 people, down from about
100,000 in April. It is due to close
Tuesday or Wednesday, said
Cmdr. John Woodhouse, a
spokesman at the Incirlik air
base in Turkey.
The latest outbreak of violence
occurred in the provincial capital
of Dohuk, just outside the secu
rity zone.
The four Kurds were killed
Sunday evening during a dem
onstration outside offices of the
ruling Baath party.

v_
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme
Court acted Monday to eliminate racial con
siderations from jury selection in all trials,
ruling that lawyers in non-criminal cases
may not bar people from juries because of
their race.
The 6-3 ruling in a case from Louisiana ex
tends a 1986 high court ban on race-based
exclusions of jurors in criminal cases to in
clude civil trials as well.
"If our society is to continue to progress
as a multiracial democracy, it must recog
nize that the automatic invocation of race
stereotypes retards that progress and causes
continued hurt and injury," Justice An
thony M. Kennedy wrote for the court.
In other cases, the court:
□ Left intact a Bush administration rule
aimed at denying federal aid for abortions
or abortion counseling in Third World coun
tries.
The justices said last month that the gov
ernment could ban government-subsidized
family planning clinics in this country from
counseling about abortion or from telling
pregnant women where they can get abor
tions.
□ Agreed to decide in an Ohio case
whether states may fine federal agencies for
violating anti-pollution laws.
□ Said it would decide whether Califor
nia's Proposition 13 property tax rollback re
sulted in unlawfully higher taxes for newly
purchased property.
□ Unanimously ruled in a Louisiana case
that the federal government may block
some state judicial elections in order to pro
tect minority voting rights.
□ Refused to revive an Austria-based
medical company's libel lawsuit against the
editor of a scientific magazine published in
New York City.
□ Left intact federally funded affirmative
action programs in Georgia and Wisconsin
aimed at helping businesses owned by
women and minorities win public construc
tion contracts.
□ Agreed to decide in a Georgia case
whether a public official may be convicted
in federal court of extortion if prosecutors
do not prove the official "induced" a pay
ment by, for example, demanding or solirit-
ing it.
In the jury-selection decision, the court
appeared to expand significantly the scope
of "state action" — the doctrine that only
government officials or their agents may vi
olate someone's constitutional rights.
Kennedy said race-based juror exclusions
are forbidden in civil lawsuits even though
the government is not a direct participant
representing either side.
