2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 13, 1996 NATION/WORLD Hortense may hit East Coa NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Packing :130=mph winds, Hurricane Hortense 'took a swipe at the Turks and Caicos islands and barreled past the Bahamas yesterday on a track that could threaten :e northeastern United States over the weekend In Puerto Rico, where at least 13 peo- ple died in the storm Tuesday, residents -aid work crews continued their arduous cleanup - from sorting through soiled t othing to clearing roads and bridges. : Their misery was compounded by ,iividespread water and power outages - about 40 percent of the island's 3.6 mil- lion people still had no power yesterday - but federal help was on the way. More than 7,600 people were registered at 115 shelters yesterday. At 5 p.m. EDT yesterday, Hortense was centered about 730 miles south- southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., or qJ out 310 miles east of Nassau. It was thoving north at 12 mph, with hurri- cane-force winds extending outward up to 70 miles from its center. st soon Heavy surf from the storm could reach southeastern US. shores by today, and there is a slight chance the storm could threaten Long Island, N.Y., Rhode Island, or Cape Cod, Mass., on Sunday, forecasters said. Meanwhile, another hurricane was menacing Mexico's Pacific coast. On the lower half of Mexico's Baja California peninsula flights were can- celed and ports closed to all vessels as Hurricane Fausto moved closer, with sustained winds of 120 mph, up from 90 mph on Wednesday. Yesterday afternoon, Fausto was located about 115 miles south-south- west of Cabo San Lucas, on the penin- sula's southern tip. Its outer winds were already buffeting the peninsula. The hurricane was moving north- ward at 10 mph, possibly reaching the southern portion of the peninsula by last night. Hortense was expected to continue north and increase speed to 20 mph today, according to the National o N5.A. FDA approves cheaper heart starters WASHINGTON - In a move cardiologists hope will make devices for treating cardiac arrest as common as first-aid kits, the Food and Drug Administration has approved the smallest and cheapest machines that can shock a heart into beating again. Experts say a third of the 300,000 Americans who die of cardiac arrest every year might be saved if emergency workers had delivered an electrical shock t restart the heart during the critical first minutes. U Paramedics carry defibrillators to do that, but the machines are so bulky, compli- cated and expensive that most police officers and firefighters - typically the first to respond to emergencies - don't carry them, costing precious time in treatment. Cardiologists are demanding smaller, more affordable defibrillators that every emergency worker could carry as easily as fire extinguishers or first-aid kits. The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the first in a new wave of such units, Heartstream Inc.'s ForeRunner. About the size of a book, it weighs just 4 pounds, half the weight of the small- est unit now available. It will cost between $3,000 and $4,000, somewhat cheaper than the $5,000 to $7,500 price tags common for today's defibrillators. ForeRunner has a computer screen that automatically analyzes and displays 4 patient's heart rhythm so emergency workers can see the patient's response.

The hurricane pounded the Turks and Caicos islands with 90-mph winds but inflicted little serious damage, and no injuries were reported. In the Bahamas, residents stowed property and boarded up windows for the second time in two weeks - Hurricane Fran narrowly missed the islands last week - only to awaken yesterday to sunny skies.

The death toll from Hortense reached 15 with the discovery of a man's body on a beach in Patillas in southeastern Puerto Rico late Wednesday. The storm, which delivered as much as20 inches of rain, killed 13 people in Puerto Rico and two in the Dominican Republic, most drowning victims. IRAQ Continued from Page i prospect that Iraq might down a U.S. aircraft and take the pilot hostage - a situation that would provide Iraqi President Saddam Hussein with an enormous psychological tool in the confrontation. The developments came as Baghdad and Washington escalated their rhetoric, with Iraq boasting that it had fired three missiles at U.S. warplanes and accusing Kuwait of engaging in an "act of war" by agreeing to permit American fighters to launch strikes from its bases. In a statement on Iraqi wire ser- vices, Foreign Minister Tarik Aziz said Baghdad considers Kuwait's action "a flagrant aggression against the people of Iraq and an act of war against the Iraqi state." Baghdad's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 touched off the Gulf War. The Pentagon initially denied Iraq's claims that missiles had been fired at U.S. planes. U.S. officials conceded later that the missile-firings did occur but were so far away from the path of U.S. fighters that American aircraft were not even aware of them. But the administration reacted sharply to Baghdad's assertion that Kuwait had committed an act of war, denouncing the charge as evidence that Iraq is still a threat to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and that the U.S. action is justified. State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies told reporters that Aziz's remarks "effectively show the true colors of the Baghdad regime and their true interests in the region, right now. What he had to say was a very direct and real threat to Kuwait."

Division 663-0518 (2 blocks north and 1 block west of intersection of Huron and State) SUNDAY: Eucharists-8am and 10am Adult Education-9am Police still employed after drunken brawl INDIANAPOLIS - Two weeks after an incident in which a group of off-duty cops got into a drunken brawl with two people on the street, black community leaders are upset to see the officers still employed. The officers grabbed their crotches, made lewd remarks to women, beat up two people on the street and then arrest- ed them. Some 50 witnesses could attest to the Aug. 27 incident. Black community leaders are angered at the suspension of the police depart- ment's investigation of the incident. "I'm appalled that officers would use this kind of force or that they would become criminals - that they would be publicly intoxicated, publicly insulting people,' said the Rev. Wayne Harris of Concerned Clergy, a group of black ministers. "Then, they became officers again, hiding behind the power of the badge, the power of the state." Witnesses said about a dozen white men who turned out to be off-duty members of an elite police unit pum- meled a black motorist who stopped and exchanged words with them, and*then badly beat a white man who came to his aid. One officer pulled his gun on the two civilians during the confrontation. Catholics lobby for abortion ban WASHINGTON - The cardinals and bishops who lead the American Catholic church flocked to the Capitol yesterday in an unprecedented cam- paign to bring pressure on Congress to ban a controversial abortion procedure. Never before have all eight of the nation's Catholic cardinals and about 80 bishops come to Capitol Hill to lob on an issue, and never before have th distributed 23 million postcards to their parishioners to send to Congress. The issue provoking their action is a controversial abortion procedure per- formed after the first trimester, which Congress refers to as "partial birth abor- tion." Congress has already voted once to ban the procedure, but President Clinton vetoed the legislation. a ~~D T H .E ,~ U.S. demands expulsion of Middle Eastern fighters SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - The U.S. government formally demanded yesterday that President Alija Izetbegovic expel a group of Middle Eastern fighters after the men threatened to kill American troops and civilians. The U.S. Embassy here also issued a warning to American citizens not to travel to a village in central Bosnia, Bocinja Donja, where the Middle Eastern volunteers, sometimes called mujaheddin, are based. Western officials said Bocinja Donja, near the central Bosnian town of Maglaj, 50 miles northwest of Sarajevo, the capital, is not the only site of signif- icant mujaheddin activity in Bosnia. They said Middle Eastern fighters recently have hassled and threatened NATO troops around the northwestern city of Bihac as well. The American protest, handed to Izetbegovic's senior adviser, Mirza Hajric, underscored the contention of many Western military officers that the Bosnian government has continued to defy Dayton peace accord provisions that mandated that all foreign forces must leave Bosnia by Jan. 19. r U.S. doctors to advise on Yeltsin's heart surgery MOSCOW - American heart sur- geon Dr. Michael DeBakey and other foreign specialists will be asked. 1o advise the Russian team that will per- form coronary bypass surgery on Bo Yeltsin. DeBakey is perhaps the world's most famous heart surgeon and a pio- neer in the development of the artifi- cial heart. Russia's plans to consult him in the case were disclosed yester- day. The announcement, by 'the Kremlin's chief physician, Dr. Sergei Mironov, included the first confirma- tion of the type of surgery Yeltsin wjill undergo: a coronary artery bypass. ,1 - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
