ROME (AP) — Italy shut
down a central stretch of its
major north-south rail and road
routes and evacuated hun
dreds of people Sunday to blow
up a newly uncovered Ameri
can-made bomb dropped in
World War II.
The rusted bomb contained
about 550 pounds of TNT, au
thorities said. Explosives ex
perts deemed it too fragile to
dig out or disarm. Instead, they
excavated a crater and used
plastic explosives to destroy
the bomb from afar.
An allied warplane dropped
the bomb near Terni, about 40
miles east of Rome, on Jan. 28,
1944, when much of Italy was
under German occupation. The
bomb landed in the Paglia Riv
er, near a rail route.
Sunday, authorities rerouted
traffic,in both directions on the
A-l autostrada and the Rome-
Florence rail route in case of
any trouble with the detonation.
Officials ordered about 500
nearby residents evacuated,
opening a reception center for
the few who did not leave and
using ambulances to evacuate
the sick to hospitals for the day.
Tanaya St. Julien. a sophomore computer science major, and Chris Price, a sophomore recreation
parks and tourism science major, participate in a "Hands on” contest to win Backstreet Boys tickets
Sunday at Post Oak Mall. They, along with Tracy Shelton of Normangee were the three finalists to con>
pete for the tickets. After 42.5 hours the three remaining contestants decided to split the prizes.

OPEN TO ALL MAJORS:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rattled by what many
view as mixed signals from Vice President A1 Gore,
congressional Democrats are exploring ways to make
a difficult vote on granting permanent trade benefits
to China more politically acceptable.
Side agreements to retain some congressional
oversight over Chinese conduct on issues dealing with
workers’ rights and environmental concerns appear to
be gaining favor in the intensifying debate, at least
among Democrats.
Measures were expected to be introduced this
week by Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., and Sen. Max
Baucus, D-Mont., to try to make the China trade deal
more palatable by establishing review procedures.
President Clinton is resisting efforts to attach such
strings. But the proposals could provide political cov
er for troubled Democrats whose support is needed to
propel the endangered China trade deal to passage this
spring or early summer.
While most Republicans back the Clinton admin
istration’s trade-expanding overture, active opposition
from organized labor puts many Democrats in an elec
tion-year bind.
Business and labor groups are mounting heavy ad
vertising campaigns for the year’s most contentious leg
islative battle. Potential swing-vote House members tire
being targeted in their home districts. Armies of business
owners and union members are descending on Capitol

Hill. And the White House is considering sponsoring a
spring-break field trip to China for swing-vote members.
The debate has spawned unlikely alliances.
Clinton has teamed with free-trading Republicans
to push the measure, which would bring China into
the World Trade Organization. At the same time, la
bor unions are courting conser\ alive Republican
posed to China’s entry.
The administration measure also would
al congressional votes on China’s trade status,
would lower most trade barriers to U.S. goods.
China is the only U.S. trading partner whose
cess to lowest-possible U.S. tariffs — formerly
“most favored nation” status but now called "hoj
trade relations” — is subject to annual review,
“I'm going to push this as hard as I can.lw
