Page 8 The Battalion Wednesday, September9, Bush, Clinton make promises on campaign trail THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Conn. - Bill Clin ton pledged Tuesday to spend $2 billion a year to help manufactur ers put more Americans to work, spicing his economic pitch with a reminder that 1.3 million factory jobs were lost on President Bush's watch. President Bush asked Congress for $7.6 billion in emergency aid for cleanup and rebuilding in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. Later, in a speech to Jewish leaders, he suggested that Saddam Hussein's ouster from Kuwait might not have happened had Clinton been president. "Ask yourself where we would be if we had someone in the Oval Office who would have waffled, who would have wavered and wanted to have it both ways," said Bush. Clinton was in Connecticut de tailing plans to help manufactur ers deal with fast-evolving tech nology and ever-changing world markets. "Unlike our competition, this nation has no national strategy, no comprehensive partnership be tween business and workers and education and government," Clin ton said. Connecticut is among the states Bush won in 1988 that the Clinton campaign believes are ripe for plucking this year. Clinton run ning mate A1 Gore spent the day in a larger, tougher prospect on that list — Bush's adopted home state of Texas. Gore targeted Hispanic voters who live near the Mexican border, calling Bush a "puppet of the rich" and promising that a Clin- ton-Gore administration would bring better roads and jobs to the poor, isolated area. Vice President Dan Quayle campaigned in California, the biggest electoral prize of all and a state where a punishing recession has pounded Bush's standing. The vice president met privately with former President Reagan. During an appearance on a morn ing television show in Los Ange les, Quayle tried to distance the Bush-Quayle ticket from GOP con vention "rhetoric" critical of ho mosexuality. "We are the ones that have im plemented a non-discrimination policy when it comes to gays and lesbians," Quayle said on KTLA- TV. Still, he said he supported the military ban on homosexuals, which Clinton has promised to end. Clinton's morning speech to the owner-employees at Standard Knapp in Portland was more poli cy lecture than partisan stemwinder. He said the president sat idly by as America's manufacturing sector lost 1.3 million jobs since 1988. He promised an investment tax credit for purchasing new plants and equipment, constant retraining of workers, and tax reform to re move incentives that encourage American plants to move over seas. Clinton also called for creating 170 manufacturing extension ser vice centers around the country in communities where local govern ment and businesses need help and promise to share costs. The centers would serve as in cubators for research, clearing houses for cost-cutting measures such as energy efficiency and offer small-and medium-sized busi nesses advice that major corpora tions can afford on their own. "We have simply got to become as able as other nations are in find ing new manufacturing technolo gy and turning ideas into new jobs in America," Clinton said. Clinton adviser Bruce Reed said the entire manufacturing package would cost $2 billion a year, paid for with defense cuts and other spending cuts promised by Clinton. Bush said he expected quick agreement from Congress on the hurricane relief package. In a with its Arab neighbors speech to the B'nai B'rith conven tion/he pledged to ask Congress for $10 billion in loan guarantees to help Israel house immigrants. Bush had opposed the loan guarantees until recently. His opposition was criticized by Clinton and other critics as an attempt to force Israeli conces sions in the historic negotiations On Tuesday, Bush told the Jew ish organization, which is to from Clinton on Wednesday, thi "evidence is mounting'' progress in the peace talks.

Russell Feingold won Wisconsin's De mocratic Senate primary in an upset Tuesday on the strength of an outsider's offbeat campaign. New Hampshire Gov. Judd Gregg, a career politician, cruised to victory in a Republican primary to pick a replacement for retiring Sen. Warren Rudman. In a race delayed by Hurricane Andrew, Democrat Carrie Meek won nomination to'the House from Florida. She faces no GOP opponent this fall, and thus is assured of becoming her state's first black member of Congress since Reconstruction. Incumbent Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Robert Kasten, R-Wis., were renominated, and Republicans John McCain in Arizona and Frank Murkowski in Alaska were certain to join them. In all, there were six Senate and three gubernatori al races on the ballot eight w-eeks before Election Day. Utah picked candidates to replace Republican Sen. Jake Gam and GOP Gov. Norm Bangerter, both of w T hom are retiring, and three Democrats vied for the nomination to take on Wisconsin Sen. Robert Kasten in November. Some Miami residents marked ballots for mem bers of Congress in Army tents, a week after Hurri cane Andrew blew away their scheduled elections. In New Hampshire, Gregg, a two-term governor and former four-term House member, was gaining 59 percent of the GOP vote, to 35 percent for busi nessman Hal Eckman with five percent of the precincts counted. A five-way Democratic primary was tabulated more slowly. In New Hampshire gubernatorial primaries, for mer Attorney General Steven Merrill led handily in a five-way Republican race, while former Rep. Nor man D'Amours held the early Democratic lead. In the New Hampshire House race, with 8 percent of the precincts tallied, Zeliff was trailing his oppo nent, Ovide Lamontagne, 60 percent to 33 percent. Leahy had no primary opposition in his bid for fourth term. Secretary of State James Douglas wor the GOP primary and will oppose him in the fall. Also in Vermont, Democratic Gov. Howard Dear, who took office after the death of Gov. Richari Snelling, was unopposed. Republican State Sen. Joli? McClaughry was the only name on the GOP ballot. Among the House members on the ballot rated as the most endangered incumbents — all Republican! — were John Rhodes of Arizona, a third-termer wk wrote 32 bad checks at the House bank; and Doi Young of Alaska, a 20-year veteran of the Houst who penned 57 bad checks. Jim Kolbe also faced a stiff challenge in Arizona as did freshman Bill Zeliff in New Hampshire. In New Hampshire's Senate race, Gregg sou£ capitalize on two terms as governor and four earfe terms in the House to win the GOP nomination fu Rudman's seat. Leahy of Vermont sought nomination to a fourtl term. Republicans Frank Murkowski of Alaska and Kasten looked for a third; and John McCain of An zona for his second. Only Kasten and Murkowski faced nominal primary opposition. In Wisconsin, Rep. Jim Moody battled business man Joe Checota and state legislator Russell Fein gold in the race to pick a Democratic opponent to Kasten. In Utah, where Gam regularly rolled up large vic tory margins. Rep. Wayne Owens sought his party! nomination to win the seat for the Democrats. Re publicans featured a big-spending primary between businessman Joe Cannon and Robert Bennett, the son of former Sen. Wallace Bennett. In Utah, Bangerter endorsed insurance executive Mike Leavitt for the GOP nomination to succeed him. Democrats picked between Pat Shea, former chair man of the state party, and Stewart Hanson jr., a for mer judge in the state courts. Electric company files reorganization plan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EL PASO — El Paso Electric Co. filed a bankruptcy reorgani zation plan Tuesday that includes reducing its stake in an Arizona nuclear plant, paying creditors and shareholders and raising cus tomer rates. The company has until Dec. 23 to get its creditors to agree to the plan, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Austin. It filed for Chap ter 11 protection from creditors Jan. 8 to avail itself of nearly $2 billion in debt. "We have worked hard to de velop a plan which will ensure the lowest possible rates in keep ing with existing rate orders in both Texas and New Mexico and consistent with our obligations to creditors and shareholders," said David Wiggs, company president, chief executive officer and board chairman. filing stated. El Paso Electric spokesman Alan Bunnell said the company was withholding comment until a news conference Wednesday morning. Also, a merger with another utility has not been ruled out, the The company had revealed in a court hearing last month it want ed to scale back its investment in Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, which the city of El Paso had asked it to do for years. The 26-year leases cost $90 million an nually. Baboon liver works well in human THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — A baboon liver transplanted into a man worked nearly as well as a human organ for 71 days until his death, a positive sign for more such operations, doctors said Tuesday. The 35-year-old man died Sunday night after a blood vessel burst in his brain, said Dr. Anthony Demetris, director of transplant pathology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. At the family's request, the man's identity re mained secret. He had an advanced case of hepatitis B that would have killed him had he not gotten the transplant June 28 at Presbyterian University Hospi tal, doctors said. The transplant apparently was unconnected to the burst vessel, and the autopsy indicated no signs the liver failed, Demetris said. Doctors were unsure of the significance of traces of blood found in his lungs and kidneys. An inspection Monday revealed the arteries serv ing the liver and the surgical graft holding the organ in place were intact, Demetris said. The man had low levels of antibodies that could have made him reject the liver, Demetris said. In previous animal-to-human transplants, kid neys, livers and hearts from primates failed because gangrene choked off blood vessels inside the organs, said Dr. Thomas Starzl, director of the medical cen ter's Transplantation Institute. The patient's hepatitis B apparently didn't affect the baboon liver but could have appeared later, said Dr. John Fung, the medical center's transplantation chief. It is believed baboons can't get the disease.

Vina someon baseball Official calls recovery of region struck by Hurricane Andrew 'miraculous' THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGAN CITY, La. — Touring hurricane-rav aged south Louisiana with Vice President Dan Quayle's wife, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday called the re gion's recovery "miraculous." The visit by Marilyn Quayle and FEMA Director Wallace Stackney came as President Bush asked Congress to approve more than $7.6 billion in emergency relief from Hurricane Andrew's vic tims in Florida and Louisiana. "A good thing that came out of the hurricane in Louisiana is that everyone is working closely to gether," Mrs. Quayle told local officials on her ar rival at the Patterson airport. Stackney said the area had benefited from quick action before Andrew hit Louisiana on Aug. 25-26. "We believe there has been a miraculous recov ery and the evacuation plans w'orked so well," he said. Mrs. Quayle's tour preceded the arrival of Agri culture Secretary Edward Madigan, who planned to visit two hurricane-damaged farms in St. Mary Parish, site of some of Andrew's worst destruction in Louisiana. On Tuesday, President Bush said he would ask Congress for the extra money to clean up and re build from Andrew. "It's a large financial burden, but the personal and human need is even more staggering," Bush said. Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., said the Louisiana congressional delegation had submitted a list of special items the state needed to recover from Andrew, including money for damages to the agricultural and fishing industries. Andrew left behind at least $200 million in dam age to the sugar cane industry and may have ru ined oyster and shrimp harvests, officials have said. The hurricane, the costliest natural disaster in the nation's history, caused an estimated $20 bil lion in damage in Florida and $1.5 billion in Louisiana. Mrs. Quayle visited a heavily damaged elemen tary school, which held classes for the first time since Andrew hit, and later met with emergency officials in Morgan City.
