Monday, April;
Peruvian official heads home
Spade Phillips, Rl.
by Matt Koi
LIMA, Peru (AP) - A
high-ranking government official
called on to lead the opposition to
President Alberto Fujimori's au
thoritarian rule left Miami for
home Saturday.
Peru's lawmakers want to
swear in the official. First Vice
President Maximo San Roman, as
president in place of Fujimori,
who dissolved Congress and shut
down the courts on April 5.
Fujimori said his actions were
necessary to fight judicial and leg
islative corruption and fight ter
rorism and drug trafficking.
On Saturday, the government
announced the arrests of the sec
ond-in-command of one rebel
group and 15 members of another
rebel group.
Lawmakers contend Fujimori
violated the constitution when he
seized total power with military
backing and should be removed
from office.
San Roman left in controversy.
His American Airlines flight was
at the runway when it was called
back to the gate. He was escorted
off the plane with his wife by se-r
curity guards.
But he boarded the next flight
for Peru, said Tim Smith, a
spokesman for the airline in Fort
Worth, Texas.
Xavier Barron, a congressman
for the Popular Christian Party,
said the Peruvian government
told the airline its flight would not
be allowed to land if San Roman
was aboard.
Both the airline and Peru de
nied the government was in
volved.
"It was a very minor bit of se
curity information that we felt we
wanted to check out, and we
wanted to have the time to do so,"
Smith said.
The Foreign Ministry said it
was surprised at American Air
lines' actions, and that San Roman
"did not know how to defend his
right to return to his homeland,
where . . . his rights and freedoms
are totally guaranteed."

Teen-ager struggles with theraf
following reattachment of arms
w
HARVEY, N.D. (AP) — At first, he jokes with his
physical therapist as they stretch and move his reat
tached arms. But it is not long before John Thompson
shows the wear and frustration of constant therapy
and prolonged uncertainty.
A single tear falls down his face. A nurse wipes it
away.
"Just one of those days, huh?" therapist Kelly
Christenson asks as he stretches the farm worker's
limp hand.
"I'm just really tired," the 18-year-old from
Hurdsfield replies.
Laconic, shy, edgy and amiable, the tall blond
teen-ager lost weight from his already slender frame
after a Jan. 11 accident at the family farm in which his
arms were torn off at the shoulders. A surgeon reat
tached them.
Most of the time, his arms stay bandaged and in
splints. Bared for therapy, a visitor sees his right arm
is still swollen below the elbow and his arms are a
patchwork of skin grafts.
Swift changes of emotion are daily weifl
Thompson. Tedious physical therapytcM
arms heal and strengthen take enormous™
time. Three times a week, he drives20miferl
cially equipped car to Harvey's St. Aloisius*
for two-hour sessions. He undergoessirib
therapy at home.
Thompson, who favors sweatsuits andat|p
cap with a heavy metal band insignia,also|p
school, though usually no more thanahl
each day, and accommodates requests fori# 1
with news media.
Everything he does reminds him oftaiwj
He even sang a solo recently at a disttiAi
competition. But he was not happy.
"People came to look at me, they didn'IMI
listen to me," he said. "I got nervous... I to? i
words to the song."

Reservists complain of i
Veterans blame symptoms on exposure to petrochemicals, radidf
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Staff
Sgt. Steve Robertson returned
from the Persian Gulf War com
plaining of aching joints and a
stubborn cough. He ended up in
the office of a psychiatrist, who
prescribed an anti-depressant.
"They informed me my prob
lem was anger and I needed to
vent it," said Robertson, 42, a
member of the National Guard
from Fredricksburg, Va., who
served with the Military Police in
the Gulf.
Twice last year, Robertson took
his anger and those of other veter
ans to hearings of the Senate Vet
erans Affairs Committee and told
about illnesses they blame on
wartime exposure to petrochemi
cals and microwave radiation.
Their afflictions include chronic
fatigue, thickened saliva, rashes,
aching gums and hair loss.
Army Surgeon General spokes
woman Virginia Stephanakis said
few veterans have reported such
ailments. And Robertson, now an
American Legion lobbyist in
Washington, would not venture
an estimate on how many have
been afflicted.
The military recently tested
and examined 100 Army reservists
based at Indianapolis' Fort Ben
jamin Harrison after they com
plained of illness.
The American Legion in Chica
go said it has received about 60 in
quiries. Reports of the mysterious
ailments prompted about 10 calls
to The Associated Press from
members of the armed forK
Maine to California seekin?
information.
Robertson expects the
to multiply after American-
Magazine publishes its Mai
which discusses the topic.
"We're afraid thisisAgf
ange revisited," Roberts®
referring to the problems^
War veterans suffered year
exposure to the defoliant.
However, Col. Normal
head surgeon for the India®
based 123rd Army Reserve
mand, said "it's only
some to conclude that tte
ments are connected to sen
the Persian Gulf area,
no proven connection i
time."
