(AP) — A federal judge ruled President Clinton in con tempt of court Monday for giving “intentionally false” testimony about his relation ship with Monica Lewinsky during questioning in the Paula Jones sex ual harassment case. The judge’s finding, a civil rather than criminal ruling, orders Clinton to pay Jones “any reasonable ex penses including attorneys’ fees caused by his willful failure to obey this court’s discovery orders.” U.S. District Judge Susan Web ber Wright said she would delay en forcement for 30 days to give Clin ton an opportunity to ask for a hearing or file a notice of appeal. The ruling stemmed from Clin ton’s sworn statement in the Jones case that he didn’t have a sexual re lationship with the former White House intern. Wright said in her ruling, “The record demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the presi dent responded to plaintiffs’ ques tions by giving false, misleading and evasive answers that were de signed to obstruct the judicial process.’ “The court takes no pleasure whatsoever in holding this nation’s president in contempt of court.” Wright said Jones was entitled to information regarding any state or federal employee with whom the president had or proposed to have sexual relations. In his deposition in the Jones case, Clinton said: “I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.” After the president’s DNA was found on a dress belonging to Lewinsky, he acknowledged an “in appropriate intimate relationship” with her before a federal grand jury last Aug. 17 — and again in a na tionally televised address. Clinton said the relationship did not fall under the definition of “sex ual relations” provided by Jones’ lawyers during his deposition, and that his testimony was legally ac curate. Jim Kennedy, spokesman for the White House counsel’s office, said Monday there would be no com ment until the president’s personal "The court takes no pleasure whatsoever in holding this nation's president in contempt of court" — Susan Webber Wright U.S. District Judge attorney in the case, Robert Ben nett, had an opportunity to review the judge’s ruling, Wright first raised the contempt issue in a footnote to a Sept. 1, 1998, ruling in which Clinton's testimony it] case.

Firefighters made a des perate appeal for aircraft to try to pluck him from his perilous position. At least one chopper tried to swoop in, but flew away when the flames got too close. The man, who was not identified, crawled to the end of the crane’s horizontal arm to get away from the black smoke and flames rising from the five-story red brick build ing. He seemed calm and alert as he lay on his belly, the crane swaying in winds that gusted above 20 mph. Smoke and flame could be seen at the center of the crane, about 20 feet from where he was. Firefighters said they had no way of getting someone above him to rappel down and grab him. “We have the (rap pelling) equipment, we just need a helicopter to lift the guy off the crane,” said Fire Department spokesperson Connie Smith. There was no immediate word on how the fire started or what the man was doing on the crane. Firefighters aimed hoses at the flames, but Smith said they were more concerned with rescuing the worker than with putting the fire out.

NATO said the bridge the train was cross ing was the intended target. Even as the alliance ex pressed regret over loss of civilian life, NATO foreign ministers — meeting for the first time since the nearly three-week-long air cam paign began — vowed to press ahead, saying the Kosovo crisis “represents a fundamental challenge to the values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.’ Yugoslavia’s parliament, meanwhile, voted to join an alliance with Russia and Belarus — an apparent move to try to draw Russia into the conflict, although Russia has said it will not get militarily involved. Russia favors the idea of incorporating Yugoslavia into the alliance that al ready includes it and Be larus, but said membership wouldn’t be instantaneous and any military aid would not be automatically grant ed.
