Times probes
letter, motives
NEW YORK (AP) - A letter
purportedly written by an anti-
Israel group claiming credit for
the World Trade Center bomb
ing may provide a motive for
the blast. But it also raised new
questions Sunday.
Although the letter signed by
the Liberation Army Fifth Battal
ion has been linked to one of the
five Muslim fundamentalists ar
rested in connection with the
bombing, an Arab-American
community leader said Sunday
he doesn't believe it could have
been written by one of them.
The letter, mailed to The New
York Times four days after the
Feb. 26 blast that killed six and
injured more than 1,000, con
nected the bombing to anger
over the United States' support
of Israel.
One of the men arrested in
connection with the bombing
wrote it, the Times reported
Sunday, quoting authorities it
didn't identify. The newspaper
didn't say which person was the
author.
Perot to visit
northwest U.S.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -
Texas billionaire Ross Perot
plans to visit Montana and
Washington next Saturday, ac
cording to leaders of United We
Stand, the independent political
group he founded.
Connie Smith, Washington
state director, said Perot
planned to visit Helena, Mont.,
in the morning, conduct a town
hall meeting at 2 p.m. at East
Valley High School near
Spokane and make an evening
appearance in Seattle. Details of
the Helena and Seattle visits
were not immediately available.
He fared well in both states
last November, carrying 26 per
cent of the presidential vote in
Montana and 24 percent in
Washington.
Gays, military
message mixed
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres
ident Clinton's efforts to end the
ban on gays in the military are
coming under congressional
scrutiny as the White House is
sues confusing signals on possi
bly segregating homosexuals in
uniform.
Clinton promised in January
to fulfill his campaign pledge to
lift the half-century prohibition,
but he angered gay rights
groups last Tuesday when he
said it probably was constitu
tional to limit assignments for
homosexuals in the armed
forces. A day later he said he
was inclined against limitations.
Various gay rights represen
tatives met with Clinton admin
istration officials at the White
House on Friday to complain.
Administration officials said
they assured leaders of the
groups that Clinton was open-
minded about the jobs homosex
uals in the military may be as
signed.
All this comes as the Senate
Armed Services Committee be
gins hearings this week on the
volatile issue. The sessions are
expected to stretch out over sev
eral months.
Man killed by
meat grinder
SELMA, Ala. (AP) - A large
meat grinder started up unex
pectedly, killing a maintenance
man who was working inside
the machine.
"It was one of the most grue
some things I've ever seen in po
lice work," police Lt. Robert
Green said.
Tyrone Bernard Mitchell, 34,
was killed early Saturday at R.L.
Zeigler Co., Green said. Zeigler
officials declined to comment.
Police said Mitchell was em
ployed by Packing Sanitation
Services Inc., which cleans
equipment at the plant.
Richard Holtvoigt, site man
ager for Packing Sanitation Ser
vices, said Sunday that
Mitchell's death was being in
vestigated.
Gephardt: health
care may take time
WASHINGTON - House
Majority Leader Richard
Gephardt voiced uncertainty
Sunday over whether a health
care reform package can be ap
proved this year, calling it one of
the toughest issues ever to face
Congress.
"If we can get it done this
year, we will," Gephardt said on
NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" pro
gram.
President Clinton has made
health reform a top priority, and
his special health care task force,
headed by Hillary Rodham Clin
ton, was scheduled to hold its
first public meeting Monday af
ter two months of work.

many more deputies had reason
to be dissatisfied with me," he
said.
Khasbulatov added that the
voting signaled the ; <0,eed for a
change in Yeltsin'^economic re
forms. .".When an enpjrmous num
ber of deputies . . . almost remove
the president from office, we all
have to think about this signal
very seriously," he said.
Also Sunday, Yeltsin issued a
series of decrees aimed at helping
the people who have been hit by
his economic reforms. The mea
sures double the minimum wage,
increase allowances for students
and the disabled, improve health
care funding for government
workers and give regional govern
ments the right to stabilize sky
rocketing prices for basic goods.
Yeltsin earlier told a crowd of
about 50,000 supporters who ral
lied outside the Kremlin that he
would not step down, even if the
Congress voted to oust him.
"I will obey only the will of the
people," he said as he raised a
clenched fist while standing on a
platform under the domes of St.
Basil's Cathedral.
Hard-liners had been seeking
Yeltsin's ouster since his March 20
declaration of emergency rule. But
on the first two days of the Con
gress, they failed to collect enough
votes to put the question on the
agenda. Outrage over the compro-
"I will obey only the
will of the people."

mise proposal finally gave them
the simple majority needed to call
Sunday's vote.
The Yeltsin-Kh^sbulatov pro
posal also would'haVe called rtfew
presidential and*legislative elec
tions in November and would
have canceled the April referen
dum that Yeltsin called.
The Congress, elected in 1990
before the Soviet Union's collapse,
has been steadily eroding Yeltsin's
authority and blocking his free-
market reforms.
Rally
Continued from Page 1
and waved hundreds of white,
blue and red Russian flags.
Raising a clenched right fist
and smiling, Yeltsin was clearly
elated by the number of demon
strators. Many said they stood
with him during the defense of
the parliament building, the
"White House," in August 1991.
"Moscow has awakened at last!
There was a period of temporary
silence," Yeltsin said. "Now
Moscow and Muscovites have de
cided to raise their voices in de
fense of the first popularly elected
president of Russia."
After the constant drubbing by
the Congress of People's Deputies,
his own flaccid speech on Satur
day and grief over the death of his
mother last weekend, the wel
come by the crowd seemed to en
ergize Yeltsin.
"You have come here today at
the right time. It's the day when
the destiny of the president, the
destiny of the Supreme Soviet, is
decided, as well as the destiny of
Russia and the Russian people,"
he said.
Yeltsin assured supporters he
would stand firm for the people
who voted him Russia's first de
mocratically chosen president in
June 1991.
"I believe 600 people should
not decide the destiny of Russia,"
Yeltsin said, referring to the ap
proximate number of hard-line
deputies in the Soviet-era Con
gress.
After the impeachment attempt
failed, Yeltsin returned to the
square, where the rally had dwin
dled to several thousand support
ers.
"A Communist coup has failed.
The people have won," he happily
told the crowd.
On the other side of Red
Square, about 5,000 pro-Commu-
nist demonstrators waving red
flags rallied in support of the Con
gress and the restoration of the
Soviet Union.
"It's the day when the destiny of the president,
the destiny of the Supreme Soviet, is decided,
as well as the destiny of Russia and the
Russian people."
