(AP)-Beaming at "I Trust Hillary" signs and likening her critics to neighborhood bullies, Hillary Rodham Clinton basked in hometown cheers yesterday. She said she will testify to Congress if that's what it takes to put Whitewater behind her. As she began a 10-city tour to promote her new book, Mrs. Clinton told an auditorium filled with hundreds of supporters that "despite all the storm about Whitewater" she hoped the American people focus on important issues such I will t as the well-being of the nation's chil- dren. n hin A few blocks from the downtown hotel where she spoke, her indicted cooperat Whitewater business partners and Ar- kansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker were in a this matt pre-trial court hearing trying to fend off -r charges that they looted a savings and closes" loan before it collapsed. Tucker and - Hillary F James and Susan McDougal face a March 4 trial. And in Washington the Senate Whitewater Committee heard from three White House aides who on Nov. 5, 1993, met with the Clintons' personal lawyers after spending several months gathering information about the criminal investigations of Whitewater. Mrs. Clinton spent half an hour chatting and autographing copies of her book on raising children for more than 100 friends who turned out in heavy fog to greet her at the airport. Two dozen or so supporters carried signs bearing hand- drawn messages of support. "Enemies come and go, Friends are forever," read one. Mary Jo Rogers of Hot Springs - who said she's known Bill Clinton since he was 12 years old - waved a sign that said, "1 Trust Hillary." Rogers said the first lady has been subjected to "some tough questions" and should be treated more kindly. Questions in recent days have fo- cused on the emergence of long- _' io to eto bring ter to a Rodham Clinton sought records outlining Mrs. Clinton's work for the savings and loan, and a memo asserting she was behind firings at the White House travel office. During Mrs. Clinton's downtown hotel appearance, the audience cheered when she spoke ofhow she'c been taught to stand up to neighbor- hood children who were beating her up because she was the new kid on the block. "Don't give in to bullies," Mrs. Clinton said. "That's what I have tried to do and will continue to do." "Youjust never know when childhood experiences will be relevant," she added, prompting laughter. After her appearance in Little Rock, Mrs. Clinton told supporters. at a Blytheville bookstore she is prepared t testify before Congress about Whitewater. "I will do anything to cooperate to bring this matter to a close. I've said that, it seems, for 100 years," she said. Yale strike ends; grades reported The Yale Daily News NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Succumb- ing to the Yale administration's hard- line stance, the Graduate Employees and Students Organization voted Sun- day night, 36 to 35, to end their five- week-long grade strike. Teaching assistants who planned on withholding grades turned them in yes- terday either directly to the Yale College Registrar or to their professors and de- partments, GESO representatives said. GESO's decision to call off the strike came after Yale officials issued a final warning that teaching assistants who did not turn in their grades by Monday would not have teaching assignments this term. "Forthepast month, what we've seen from the university is a level of threats and intimidation that is pretty unprec- edented at any university, much less at an prestigious institution like Yale," GESO Chair Robin Brown said. Brown said the vote was a "very difficult decision to make. But the uni- versity has threatened people with ex- pulsion, which in some cases meant deportation," and professors have threatened to blacklist striking TAs. "The final threat being leveled was that we would be locked out of our jobs for the spring semester," Brown said. Last month, GESO members voted to withhold undergraduate grades until Yale administrators agreed to recog- nize and negotiate with the organiza- tion as a labor union. University offi- cials have made no concessions and continue to insist they will not recog- nize GESO as an official collective bargaining unit for graduate students it the humanities and social sciences. Some GESO members said they de- cided to end the strike because the ad- ministration did not seem to be bending to the union's demands. "I think it has in a way outlived its usefulness and that at this point it was going to start hurting undergraduates," said graduate student Deborah Karush, who voted to end the grade strike. Administrators applauded GESO', decision to call off the grade strike. "I think it's very good news," Gradu- ate School Dean Thomas Appelquist said. - Distributed by the University Wire. Republican freshman senators start rare joint 3-day road trip to show umty. WASHINGTON (AP) - Nine Re- publican freshmen senators began a joint eight-city tour yesterday to un- derscore before hometown audiences their unity in pushing for a balanced budget and other Republican priori- ties. "One of the things that I think our Republican freshmen senators have done in Washington is to dramatically shift the debate in the United States Senate," said Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich.), who came up with the idea for the tour. "Today in Washington we're de- bating not how much more money government will spend, but we're starting to debate how much we can reduce the growth of federal spend- ing," he said. The 1994 elections brought 11 new senators to Washington, all of them i Republicans. Nine are partici-x pating in the three-day tour,, which will take the senators to Grand Rapids, this afternoon, for a forum with c 0 ni m u n i t y leaders. Abraham The tour will highlight the legislation that has passed the GOP-led Congress, such as welfare reform and a reconciliation bill that balances the budget, along with fresh- men legislation such as Abraham'spro- posal to expand enterprise zones in in- ner city areas. To deliver their message, the sena- tors are attending town hall meetings, round table discussions, tours or news conferences in Philadelphia, Knoxville, Tenn.; Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minn.; St. Louis, Mo.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; and Cheyenne, Wyo. Some of the senators mentioned the publicity the 73 House freshmen have received for putting Republicans in the majority in that chamber. The senators noted they also were majority make for their chamber. The Republicans no hold a 53-46 edge in the Senate, with one vacancy. But in the Senate, 60 votes are re- quired to cut off debate, prompting Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma and other senators to say the GOP needs to add more Republicans to their ranks. Toward that end, the senators plan to do some party building while in the states. The Republican National Com- mittee is picking up the tab for tl9 tour. Join a 105-year tradition.
