2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 14, 1996 NATION/WORLD Iraqi Kurds easily recapture key city Los Angeles Tunes ISTANBUL, Turkey - In a light- ning counteroffensive, an Iraqi Kurdish faction yesterday recaptured a key city in northern Iraq that it had lost six weeks ago to rival forces backed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, or the PUK, advanced from strongholds along the Iranian border and swept back into the northeastern city of Sulaymaniyah, its former headquar- ters. Despite clashes elsewhere, both sides reported that the city itself changed hands without a fight. "The flags changed from yellow back to green overnight. It's all quiet now. People are even working," said a foreign aid worker reached by satellite telephone in Sulaymaniyah, a city of about 750,000 people. Amid charges by the rival faction that the PUK is being supported by Iranian forces, the counteroffensive dragged Iraq and its neighbors into new and dangerous territory just as Western powers were hoping to see stability in the wake of the recent heavy fighting between the PUK and the Hussein-backed Democratic Party of Kurdistan (KDP). In that fighting, Hussein dispatches his forces in support of the KDP and effectively extended Baghdad's control over all of northern Iraq for the first time since the United States created a Kurdish haven after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. In the wake of Hussein's invasion of the north, President Clinton ordered strikes on Iraqi air defense systems in southern Iraq and extended the south- ern "no-fly" zone north from the 32nd parallel to the 33rd parallel, near the southern outskirts of Baghdad. There was no indication that Iraqi troops were involved in the latest fighting. Yesterday, Hussein chaired a meet- ing of the Revolutionary Command Council and leaders of the ruling Baath Party to discuss the develop- Dole speaks on immigrant issues NEWARK, N.J - In a safe celebration of American immigrants - and a rare campaign walk down an inner-city street- Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole marched in a Columbus Day parade here yesterday and told a chilly crowd of his pride in the values brought to this country by its new citizens. Dole lauded the "generations of Italian families (who) have come to America to live out their dreams," while ignoring the immigration issue's more controvert sides, like his own stand in favor of denying public education to the children of i11le- gal immigrants. Escorted through the battleground Garden State by Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Dole emphasized economic themes at small but sympathetic rallies where he also took President Clinton to task for what he said were crime-cutting promises made and broken. Clinton "says he's got 100,000 police on the street. You won't live long enough to see 100,000 police," Dole told crowds in Somerset and Hamilton, suburban Republican sections of a swing state where Dole trails in the polls. "It ain't gonna happen." Clinton traveled yesterday from Denver to Albuquerque, N.M., toutingj administration's record on fighting crime and spotlighting new FBI statistics shW ing that crime fell in 1995.

The official Iraqi News Agency, quoting a spokesperson for the meet- ing, said Iraqi leaders urged the war- ring Kurdish factions to halt fighting and resume peace talks with Baghdad. i 1 " 96 M: oud Sag , ndStdet t Au.i, _ _ _ _el George Clinton RESiVFo .STATS Aw $20 AT Tmf MIC/1/64w (/iiov T/CKE P &aicX 4aU T/cKfTMA4sTE' OQT16TsCHARGE BY P//oNE AT 263-Trfl I A. _ _ _ I "We call on the parties which have resumed fighting to keep away the for- eign powers and not deal with them.

NATO expansion leaves out Baltics The Washington Post BRUSSELS - As they strive to calm Russian fears about NATO's looming expansion toward the east, the United States and its allies are now focusing on another problem arising from the shifting landscape of European security: the anxiety of Baltic and other nations worried about being left outside the alliance. NATO officials are pressing ahead with plans for a summit conference before next summer that would dramat- ically reshape the alliance. NATO's 16 leaders are expected to announce a short list of new members, probably Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, to be admitted by 1999. They also hope to give their blessing to a military structure designed to help the alliance cope with unpredictable threats in the post-Cold War era. The Western leaders also intend to invite Russian President Boris Yeltsin to sign a new charter that is supposed to open an era of cooperation and bury past animosities between former ene- mies. The charter, which remains high- ly ambiguous, was conceived as a way to convince Moscow that NATO's enlargement is not a menacing encroachment on Russia's frontiers. The temperate comments about NATO enlargement by Russian nation- al security chief Alexander Lebed dur- ing a visit to alliance headquarters last week have encouraged many officials to believe that Moscow is now accept- ing, albeit reluctantly, NATO's east- ward expansion. Lebed acknowledged that Russia could not impose a veto and said "whatever NATO decides, Russia will not go into hysterics." Yet just when they felt that key pieces of the enlargement puzzle were falling into place, the NATO allies have been besieged by demands from other eastern nations wanting to be brought under NATO's security umbrella lest they be abandoned in a no-man's land. Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia, along with the three Baltic states that were once annexed by the Soviet Union, have been clamoring to be made part of the club even though they realize it is virtually impossible for NATO to embrace them all. These countries fear that unless they can join the first wave of new members, they will be relegated to a de facto buffer zone that some decry as a "new Yalta." Last month Defense Secretary William Perry shocked the three Baltic states - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - when he bluntly declared that they were not ready to join the alliance, because they were not capable of defending other NATO countries.

Former Yeltsin aid sparks controversy MOSCOW - The shadowy schemer who hovered at President BorisYeltsin's elbow for more than a decade, control- ling access and peddling influence, rose from the political graveyard last week with a public threat to reveal "compro- mising" Kremlin secrets. Former bodyguard Alexander Korzhakov, once one of the most pow- erful men in Russia, was greeted like a man who holds the key to the skeleton closet at an overflow news conference Friday that focused on his role in a widening Moscow political scandal that includes accusations of extortion, mur- der-for-hire and destruction of state documents. "I saw a lot and I know a lot," said Korzhakov, appearing ill at ease and defensive in his maiden venture into public relations. "I have some secret documents and other materials because we had special equipment in our ser- vice." Besides indirectly confirming long- time rumors that he bugged Kremlin offices and avidly collected dirt on a host of prominent people, the suddenly loquacious Korzhakov offered a reveal- ing glimpse of what life was like at the pinnacle of power in post-So.. Russia. He also added a new twistTo the increasingly vicious political infighting raging around the ailing Yeltsin, who is resting at a suburban sanatorium while awaiting open-heart surgery and appears largely aloof from his aides' battle for power. Investigators sent to Antarctic bases SYDNEY, Australia - FBI agents and an Australian mediator are making visits to Antarctica to investigate an assault and staff dispute at two bases. They will visit a region whose haish winters can send people over the edge;. The Australian Antarctic Division con- firmed yesterday it was sending a media- tor to the Casey base to deal with an "interpersonal dispute.' - Compiled from Daily wire reports. Stud finds good sme s boost beneficence The climate-controlled, color-coordi- nated and tropical plant-lined corridors of the prototypical American shopping mall can make visitors feel like subjects of a carefully planned psychological experiment. Which is exactly what shoppers became recently when Robert Baron and his researchers entered Crossgates Mall in upstate New York. As consumers strolled past Cinnabon and Nine West, Mrs. Field's and Banana Republic, they encountered young folk requesting change for a dollar or clum- sily dropping ballpoint pens. Little did the subjects suspect that their conduct was being evaluated. The researchers were trying to see if the heady aroma of coffee or the sooth- ing, grandmother's-house smell of bak- ing cookies might lull people into acts of kindness they would otherwise forgo. One of two experiments showed that while under the olfactory influence o roasting coffee or baking cookies, peo- ple were more than. twice as likely to provide a stranger with change for a dollar than they were in unscented sur- roundings. The dropped-pen experi- ment produced similar results.
