Israelis
retaliate for
bombings
AL FA WAR, West Bank (AP)
— Israeli soldiers forced Pales
tinians caught breaking curfew
Wednesday to sit for hours on a
curb inside a barbed-wire barri-
‘Head down, hands behind
your back!” one soldier bellowed.
In the A1 Fawar refugee camp
down the road, Palestinians
calmly tried to justify suicide
bombings by two men from their
neighborhood who killed 23 Is
raelis, two Americans and a
Palestinian last week.
With hostility running high on
both sides, the mood on the street
was as if Yasser Arafat and
Yitzhak Rabin had never shaken
hands at the White House.
Hunting for Muslim militants
who plotted four suicide bomb
ings over a nine-day period, Is
raeli soldiers deployed in most of
the West Bank on Wednesday, in
cluding areas that already were
ceremoniously handed over to
Palestinian police last fall.
Troops demonstrated who is in
charge, laying siege to the West
Bank’s 465 towns and villages
and confining Palestinians to
their communities.
Jeeps blocked dusty back
roads and metal spikes were laid
across asphalt streets to keep
back motorists.
There were no exceptions. No
Palestinians entered Israel on
Wednesday — neither ambu
lances nor Palestinian

First lady visits Texas, blasts GOP
□ Clinton gained the
endorsement of former
Gov. Dolph Briscoe on
behalf of her husband.
Briscoe was governor
from 1973-79.
DALLAS (AP) — First Lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton, taking
her husband’s re-election cam
paign to Texas, took a swipe at
the Republican Party’s failure
to fulfill many of the promises
made in the OOP’s so-called
“Contract With America.”
“The only contract with
America is the Constitution,”
she told students at the South
ern Methodist University law
school Tuesday night.
Last year, the Republican-
controlled House approved
most of the OOP’s “Contract
with America’’ campaign
promises, though few made it
through the Senate and be
came law.
Clinton also lambasted the
OOP’s budget-cutting proposal
that would cut funding for Le
gal Service Corp., which pro
vides legal help to poor people.
“The Legal Service Corp.
was created by a bi-partisan
Congress and signed into law
by President Nixon with the
idea that local legal aid pro
grams would be funded to as
sist millions of Americans with
their legal problems — prob
lems that would otherwise go
unaddressed,” she said.
Earlier in Uvalde, she picked
up the coveted endorsement of
former Gov. Dolph Briscoe on
behalf of her husband.
“I’m a great admirer of the
tradition that Gov. Briscoe rep
resents, and I am pleased to be
here on behalf of the president
to say thank you for your words
of support,” Clinton said.
The campaign stop, which
came one week before the
Texas primary, was aimed at
shoring up support for Presi
dent Clinton among the conser
vative wing of the state’s Demo
cratic Party.
It marked the first time a
first lady has visited Uvalde —
a ranching town of about
15,000 located 80 miles west of
San Antonio — since Bess and
Harry Truman came calling in
1948 on former vice president
John Nance Garner.
Clinton and Briscoe went to
great lengths to draw parallels
between the two visits as they
spoke to a crowd of about 3,000
on the lawn of Garner’s muse
um home.
They were accompanied by
Briscoe’s wife, Janey, and oth
er high-ranking Texas Democ
ratic officials.
“Mrs. Clinton, it is with the
same warmth of Mr. Garner in
1948 and the same strong, com
plete support that Janey and I
welcome you and offer you that
support to you and your hus
band, the same as Mr. Garner
expressed in 1948 to Mr. Tru
man,” said Briscoe, who was
governor from 1973-79.
The first lady, after receiv
ing a greeting and bouquet of
yellow roses from Briscoe’s
granddaughter, Muffin
Marmion, emphasized her
theme of helping children.
Clinton said her husband ad
vocates a voluntary television
ratings system and the “v-chip”
and teachers at a middle school
in Corpus Christi.
After Uvalde, she headed to
Dallas for a speech sponsored
by the School of Law of South
ern Methodist University.
But it was the Uvalde visit
that highlighted the president’s
re-election efforts in Texas.
"The United States has never succeeded
when it has tried to ... construct a wall
around itself. We have to lead, and we
have to have a president like a President
Truman or President Clinton."
— Hillary Rodham Clinton
First Lady
for parental discretion; a com
petitive education system; uni
forms for school children to pre
vent strife over status-symbol
clothing; and work programs to
help anyone who wants to at
tend college afford it.
The first lady also referred
to the coming campaign sea
son, urging voters not to be
swayed by opponents’ fear tac
tics or those who adamantly
advocate isolationism.
“The United States has nev
er succeeded when it has tried
to pull up the gangplank and
construct a wall around itself.
... We have to lead, and we
have to have a president like a
President Truman or President
Clinton,” she said.
Earlier in the day, Clinton
visited with parents, students
Townspeople came out in
droves to see the first lady.
“I have been impressed with
what Bill has done,” said Tony
Villarreal, a lifelong Democrat.
“This will be the first time
we’ve seen a first lady here.
We’ll never see it again in our
lifetime, probably.”
Olivia De La Zerda, who at
tended law school in the 1970s
about the same time Clinton
did, drove 75 miles from San
Antonio for the event.
“I drove over here all alone
... to pay tribute to her and
thank her for everything she
has done for women in Ameri
ca,” De La Zerda said.
A number of school children
attended the campaign raltyi
some of them holding signs say
ing, “We love you Hillary.”
