welcomes

blacks
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - In a
powerful gesture of racial healing,
President Clinton pulled open the front
door of Central High School yesterday
and stood back to welcome nine blacks
who had braved hate-filled mobs 40
years ago to break an all-white color
barrier.
"What happened here changed the
course of our country forever," Clinton
recalling a racial drama that
wrenched America and was seared in
history on television screens around the
world.
"Forty years ago today, they climbed
these steps, passed through this door
and moved our nation. And for that we
must all thank them,' said Clinton. The
audience - blacks and white together,
- roared approval.
ut even as he commemorated an
portant, early victory of the civil
rights movement, Clinton warned that
American schools are resegregating,
opportunities for jobs and education
remain unequal and affirmative action
programs are being rolled back, "slam-
ming shut the doors of higher education
on a new generation.'
"Segregation is no longer the law,"
Clinton said. "but too often separation
is still the rule. And we cannot forget
stubborn fact that has not yet been
sd as clearly as it should: There is still
discrimination in America.
"We have to keep working on it -
not just with our voices but with our
laws" the president said. "And we have
to engage each other in it.'
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a
Republican, also stirred the crowd, say-
ing, "What happened here 40 years ago
was simply wrong. It was evil. And we
pounce it."
-Huckabee, a Baptist minister, said
that in many parts of the South, "It was
the white churches that helped not only
ignore the problems of racism but in
many cases actually fostered those feel-
ings and those sentiments." He called on

all religious leaders "to say never, never,
never, never again will we be silent?'
Clinton was I1 years old during the
Little Rock crisis, attending segregated
schools 50 miles away in Hot Springs.
"It was Little Rock that made racial
equality a driving obsession in my life,"
he said.
After a morning drizzle, skies turned
blue and a warm sun beat down on

guests, includ-

Little Rock Nine - six women and
three men - basked in cheers and
applause, a sharp contrast to the taunts
and jeers they braved as teen-agers. The
president led them up Central's steps
and he held open the school's heavy
glass-paneled doors, greeting each of
the nine with a handshake or a pat.
Clinton was assisted by Huckabee and

Little Rock Mayor Jim Daley.
The dramatic gesture had been sug-
gested by students and by the nine who
had been turned back, presidential
spokesperson Mike McCurry said.
One of the nine, Minnijean Brown
Trickey, a social worker in Ontario,
became overwhelmed and reached out
emotionally to Clinton and Huckabee
for comfort.

lized the
Arkansas National Guard to block
integration. It was the first real test of
the government's willingness to use
force to implement the 1954 Supreme
Court's Brown vs. Board of Education
decision outlawing school segrega-
tion.
Nightly newscasts showed scenes
of whites cursing blacks and spitting
on them. Eisenhower said the specter
of "mob rule" in Little Rock men-
aced America's safety and allowed
"gloating" Communists abroad to
undermine U.S. prestige and influ-
ence.
The story of the Little Rock Nine has
been told in films, books and documen-
taries. Their names appear in history
books, noted Ernie Green, Central's
first black graduate and now an invest-
ment executive.
If one young person is inspired by
their story, "then the Little Rock Nine
become the Little Rock 10, the 10 a
hundred, the 10,000, the 10 million,"
Green said.
"Today, it's 40 years later. I wouldn't
take anything for our journey" Green
said.
First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
recalled she had received an early les-
son in courage as she watched the crisis
on television "from my suburb outside
of Chicago where I went to schools that
were all white, where I lived with only
white people."
And the president lamented: "Too
many Americans of all races have actu-
ally begun to give up on the idea of inte-
gration and the search for common
ground.'
Los Angeles Times
EFRAT, West Bank - Palestinian
leaders yesterday blasted Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
promise to build hundreds of new hous-
ing units in this Jewish settlement as
"irresponsible, provocative and.unnec-
essary."
Israeli officials defended the pro-
posed buildup in Efrat as "natural
growth," but Marwan Kanafani, a
spokesperson for Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat, called it "a severe blow"
to efforts to restart peace negotiations.
"The guy has a lust for Palestinian
land. Every time there is some hope, he
throws another obstacle in the path of
peace;' Kanafani said of Netanyahu.
Settlement building is at the root of
the current crisis in Israeli-Palestinian
peace negotiations, which have been
frozen since last March, when
Netanyahu gave the green light to build
a 6,500-unit Jewish housing project in
traditionally Arab East Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Palestinian security
forces last night closed 16 Islamic
social service organizations in the Gaza
Strip and a television station in the West
Bank city of Nablus that is identified
with the militant Islamic group Hamas.
Palestinian agents entered the offices
after closing time, when most workers'
had left for the day, and sealed them
with notices stating they were "not to
be entered without the permission of
police."
Israeli radio reported that the
Palestinians also arrested dozens of
Hamas activists in the West Bank cities
of Nablus, Qalqilya and Tulkarem, but
this could not be independently veri-
fied.
Abdel Aziz Rontizi, a Hamas politi-
cal leader in Gaza, said three employees
of one of the Islamic organizations had
been arrested, but that he was unaware
of any Hamas political or military lead-
ers who had been detained.
The Hamas military wing claimed
responsibility for two multiple suicide
attacks in downtown Jerusalem this
summer that killed 25 people, including
five bombers. Israel recently identified
four of the bombers as Hamas militants
from a Palestinian village outside'of
Nablus, embarrassing Arafat, who had
insisted they came from abroad.
Hamas leaders said the Palestinian.
Authority's crackdown on Islaniia
kindergartens, youth clubs and agencies
to aid the poor was a response to U.S.
and Israeli pressure on Arafat.
"Negotiations are to begin between
the Israelis and Palestinians in'
Washington, and they (the Palestinians}
are paving the way in front of these
negotiations" Rontizi said."Netanyahu
is paving the way by promising settlei
to widen the settlements. Different
ways of paving."
On Wednesday, Netanyahu told high
school students at a 30th anniversary
celebration of the so-called Gush
Etzion settlements that he would build
300 new homes in Efrat and expanid
other communities in the Israeli occu-
pied area on the southern outskirts 'of
Jerusalem.
The speech drew immediate fire
from U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine,
Albright at the United Nations, prompt-
ing Israeli government officials to try to
downplay the planned construction as a
continuation of existing policy.
"This government is not searching
for friction. It is not intending that its
actions be construed in a provocative
manner," said government spokesper-
son Moshe Fogel. "What we are saying
is pure logic that we believe can be
accepted by anyone who looks at th7e
situation from a logical point of view

LONDON (AP) - No more

No payments to children for stories.
Reacting to the uproar over press
intrusion following the death of
Princess Diana, the Press
Complaints Commission asked edi-
tors yesterday to voluntarily adopt
"the toughest set of industry regula-
tions anywhere in Europe.'
"Motorbike chases, stalking and
hounding are unacceptable - and
editors who carry pictures obtained
by them will be subjected to the
severest censure" said the commis-
sion's chair, Lord Wakeham.
"I have found that editors across
the industry have been of the same
mind - times have changed - and
we want to change with them," he
said in outlining the new code at a
news conference.
However, work continued on
details of the code, including con-
flicts between an "overriding public
interest" and personal privacy -
questions which are acute in cover-
n r - _-_._t.V_.1. . _a

schools a month after their mother's
death Aug. 31 in a Paris car crash,
Nine photographers and a press
motorcyclist, most of them French,
are under investigation in Paris for"
their alleged roles in the crash,
which also killed Diana's friend
Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri
Paul.
When the code is finalized, edi-
tors will have to justify the behav-
ior not only of their staff, but of
any freelancer whose material they
use, and if they expose someone's
private life they will have to show
there is an "overriding" public -_
interest.
Wakeham's proposals cover five
main points: protection of chil-
dren, discretion at times of grief,'
avoidance of harassment, a redefi-
nition of privacy, and raising the,
threshold of public interest that
would justify intruding on some-
one's privacy.
