Mideast
peace
talks may
gollapse
QUEENSTOWN, Md. - President
Clinton's national security team strug-
gled yesterday night to stave off col-
lapse of the largest diplomatic invest-
ment of his presidency after Israel
announced plans to walk out of Middle
East summit talks without an agree-
ment.
As the Israeli delegation packed its
bags and shipped them to Andrews Air
rce base, the Clinton administration
roposed to unveil the first written U.S.
peace plan to the two sides. The plan's
uncertain prospects gave sharp focus to
an imbalance described by officials
from all three delegations: as the sum-
mit completed its seventh day, the pres-
ident wanted a deal far more than either
of the principals he hosted.
. Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, in a statement issued in
*brew at 6 p.m., just before deadlines
for today's Israeli newspapers, said he
planned to depart by 10 p.m. He linked
his walkout to two demands resisted
thus far by Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat: extradition of wanted
Palestinians to Israel, and an immediate
vote by the highest Palestinian political
body to remove calls for Israel's
destruction from the national charter.
"If there is substantial progress we
ill stay," Netanyahu said in the state-
nt, adding that he awaited word from
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
on Arafat's willingness to satisfy his
two demands. "If not, we will go."
Subsequent Israeli statements revised
the deadline first to 1 a.m. and then to 6
Radioactive
bugs discovered
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) -
Radioactive ants, flies and gnats have
been found at the Hanford nuclear com-
plex, bringing to mind those Cold War
era B horror movies in which giant,
mutant insects are the awful price paid

Pullman.
The situation came to light in
September when red harvester ants
found underground near some old waste
pipes were discovered to be radioactive.

90's version of

a.m. today.
With reporters barred from the Wye
River conference site and negotiators
accessible only intermittently by cellu-
lar phone, it was not possible to estab-
lish with confidence the reasons for the
apparent crisis yesterday. But Israeli,
Palestinian and American officials
agreed that one factor appeared to be
American blessing of a Palestinian
"working plan" on security that Israel
denounced as empty of content.
"In the security area, we think seri-
ous work has been done and we think
there is a sufficient basis to proceed,
and it would be very unfortunate if one
or the other party were to leave while
we were ready, willing and able to help
provide security for their people,"
State Department spokesperson James
Rubin said in a conference call with
reporters half an hour after
Netanyahu's threat. Asked whether
Albright was asking Arafat for new
concessions, as Netanyahu asked,
Rubin replied, "No."
In a confidential memorandum to
Clinton last week, according to a
knowledgeable account, Albright pre-
dicted a crisis something like this,
though she expected it by the summit's
scheduled close last Sunday. None of
the nine written agreements between
Israelis and Palestinians since 1993, she
wrote, had been reached without a prior
breakdown in talks.

huge, marauding ants are spawned by
nuclear experiments in the desert.
Although Hanford is working to
eradicate its "hot" insects, officials
said the radioactivity the pests carry
is slight and no threat to neighboring
communities.
"We're not dealing with an insect
that would leave and all of a sudden
start to give birth to these malformed,
horrible insects," said a chuckling
Richard Zack, an entomologist at
Hanford, the
company that manages Hanford for the
Energy Department, to check the town
dump where Hanford garbage is taken.
Workers found trash that had apparently
become radioactive from contact with
the bugs, and sent 210 tons of it back to
Hanford for burial.
Still, a person would have had to
stand next to a spot contaminated by
radioactive bugs for an hour to get the
level of exposure equal to a dental X-
ray, said Mike Berriochoa, spokesper-
son for Fluor Daniel Hanford.
