"Y The Battalion JN ATION Tuesday • October2J First lady celebrates 50th birthd; Tuesc Clinton returns home to Illinois to revisit past, reminisce with PARK RIDGE, ILL. (AP) — Hillary Diane Rodham, the girl voted most likely to succeed by her high-school classmates, was welcomed home yesterday as a hero returning to re examine the roots that took her from Girl Scouts and Goldwater to Wellesley and the White House. Cheerleaders, marching bands and a children’s choir turned out at O’Hare Airport to welcome Clinton to a daylong birthday fest the city of Chicago formally proclaimed “Hillary Rodham Clinton Day.’’ “I could not ask for a better way to turn 50,” Clinton said. She called it “the best present I could ever ask for.” Clinton turned 50 Sunday and celebrated her landmark birthday at a tent party on the White House South Lawn with family, including daughter Chelsea, who flew home from college in California, and about 500 friends from all stages of her life. Today, the first lady and some of her friends flew to Chicago to ex tend the festivities with a two-day trip into her past. This is one birthday observance going way beyond the usual cake and candles. Clinton’s hometown of Park Ridge was putting up a marker at her childhood home. The city of Chica- ing a park af ter her. Also, a bus load of old high school pals from the Class of 1965 Clinton were joining her on a bus ride to remi nisce at sites in what she remem bers as the “Ozzie and Harriet” sub urb of her youth. President Clinton was flying in for an evening bash at the Chicago Cultural Center, and the first lady was appearing Tuesday on Oprah Winfrey’s show. The guest list for the day’s ac tivities included Clinton’s best friend from high school, the boy who walked with her to Eugene Field Elementary School and the Methodist youth minister credited with helping to awaken her social conscience. “When people wonder who Hillary Clinton is, they need to look back at her early life,” Carl Anthony, a historian accompanying the First lady, said. “She is a product of a nur turing 1950s idyll, and yet at the same time she’s also a product of the city of Chicago and its turmoil and its social change of the late and mid-1960s.” A Goldwater Republican in high school, Clinton became a Democrat during her undergraduate years at Wellesley College and saw the turmoil of the Democratic National Conven tion firsthand when she came home during the summer of 1968. Today’s stops included the two- story Georgian house at the corner of Elm and Wisner where Clinton grew up and the First United Methodist Church, where youth minister Don Jones encouraged a young Hillary to worhi- privileged youngsters tv? go’s inner city and careful dren of migrant worker She also planned anafiaH it to Orchestra Hall in ip Chicago, where Jones to: 3 old Hillary to hearMaitin!>:.

The Chinese use prisoners to make toys and cloth ing that wind up on the shelves of discount houses in this country, American labor leaders say. China is building the biggest dam in the world, and the environmental cost grates some Americans. Against the background of those feelings comes Jiang Zemin on a weeklong goodwill tour of the Unit ed States. There will be a White House meeting Wednes day with President Clinton for diplomacy and dinner. About the most Jiang can expect—and it is no small ambition, say China experts — is a restoration of the wellspring of good feeling that once existed between these two countries. It is not just the lingering image of Tiananmen Square and the picture of a single Chinese student in a white shirt, arms at his side, staring down a Chinese Army truik “The Chinese admire what the United States stands for and does, but they feel that their time is coming, that they are beginning to assume their rightful place in the world and that the United States is holding them back.” NICHOLAS PLATT PRESIDENT, ASIA SOCIETY that captures America’s image of modern China. But Tiananmen symbolizes the ambiguity of Ameri can feeling about China, David Shambaugh, an Asian ex pert at George Washington University and a former State Department and National Security Council aide, says. “It was not just an assault on students, but an as sault on democracy,” he said. Americans hold twin impulses toward China, he says — the “missionary impulse to transform China, economically, politically, and strategically,” and a sec ond anti-communist feeling enhanced when China abandons liberalization in favor of order and harsh po litical repression. China scholar Mary Brown Bullock, president of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga., and daughter and granddaughter of American missionaries in Chi na, says more than the conflict between Eastern and Western values — and more than the inevitable fric tions between a capitalist democracy and a commu nist autocracy — explains the tensions between the two countries. She sees a time warp at work, “a conflict between 19th- and 20th-century values.” While America now follow the dictates of internationalism, the global economy and the information age, she said China is catching up with the values of the 19 th century — na tionalism, sovereignty (and thus the friction over Tawainese recognition) and the basic need to feed so many mouths. Shambaugh said the China criticisms of American interest groups play a role in shaping U.S. policy to ward Beijing. Thus, environmentalists and archaeologists must be heeded when they rail against the building of Three Gorges Dam in China, destined to be the world’s biggest, but also to displace 1.3 million people. These critics say it will obliterate endangered species and in undate ancient sites. They were not around when America built its own great dams, with untold envi ronmental consequences, decades ago. Labor leaders command attention when they de nounce China’s use of prison labor to take jobs they say should go to American workers and when they charge China uses trade barriers to keep out Ameri can products. Arms control advocates are exercised over reports of Chinese nuclear sales abroad and the transfer of Chi nese missiles to Pakistan and Iran. The Pentagon be comes suspicious of China’s ambitious military mod ernization program. Looming potentially as large as a vexation is China’s persecution of Christians, who number in the millions.
