Prime Minister Robert Malval's position further complicated in ternational efforts to push through the plan that envisions the Oct. 30 return of exiled Presi dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The head of a parliamentary "crisis committee" said lawmakers cannot complete their work in time for Aristide's scheduled return. U.S. Embassy spokesman Stan ley Schrager, however, insisted that the plan was "still not dead." U.S. and U.N. mediators pre sented Malval with a document this week that calls for broadening the interim government he heads so that it would include more of Aristide's opponents, The intent of the document was angrily debated with the Clinton administration by Aristide's sup porters, who feel the proposal caves in to the demands of the military leaders. Six U.S. Navy warships, three Canadian vessels and 10 U.S. Coast Guard cutters are patrolling off Haiti's coast to enforce a worldwide oil and arms embargo that began Monday to force the army to cooperate. Argentina, the Netherlands, Britain and France are also sending warships. The U.S. Navy has reported stopping three Haiti-bound ships since the embargo took effect. The U.N. plan calls for the country's military authorities to step down before Aristide returns. Aristide was ousted in a Septem ber 1991 military coup. "If on Oct. 30 President Aristide is not in Haiti ... This is the end of my mission," Malval told the Asso ciated Press on Wednesday. Malval said he did not want to be part of any stalling efforts on the part of Aristide's opponents. An aide said Malval would only con sider staying on if Aristide himself extended the Oct. 30 deadline.

Reno said entertainment offi cials have assured her they are not going to argue anymore about whether television causes violence in society and have promised instead to change programming. The attorney general said she opposes immediate legislation ac tion against TV violence. But "if significant voluntary steps are not taken soon, government action will be imperative," she told the Senate Commerce Committee. Entertainment industry exec utives who appeared before the panel said this season's lineup is laden with comedy and much less violent than before. They assured lawmakers that more action is coming, including anti-violence public service an- "If significant voluntary steps are not taken soon, government action will be imperative." - Janet Reno, attorney general nouncements and a TV special on alternatives to violence to be broadcast simultaneously by all the networks. Their arguments didn’t seem to convince committee Chairman Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., who has introduced a bill that would restrict violent programming to late-night hours when children would he least likely to see it. During the hearing, Hollings played a tape of a scene from the CBS situation comedy "Love and War" that aired Monday. The show is set in a New York restaurant-bar and this week's segment opened with a brawl. One of the characters tries to stop the fighting and shouts over the din, "You all see too much violence on television." "That was slapstick," said Howard Stringer, president of CBS Broadcast Group. "The producer was satirizing TV vio lence. The attempt was not to glorify violence, but to make it look ridiculous." When one of the other pan elists quipped, "Nobody died/' Hollings frowned and said, "Ex cept the credibility of this panel." Besides Hollings bill, the Sen ate is considering a measure that would have the FCC report quarterly on how much violent programming is broadcast.
