NATION/WORLD The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 22, 1998 -7A 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 Washington State University in Pullman. The situation came to light in September when red harvester ants found underground near some old waste pipes were discovered to be radioactive. Then, earlier this month, lealingworkers dis- for mankind's entry into the Atomic Age. Officials at the nation's most contami- nated nuclear site insist there is no danger of Hanford becoming the setting for a 90's version of "Them!," the 1954 movie starring James " We're not 4 ._ _ _ _ , with an insect that would leave all of a sudden to give birth to the malformed, horrible insects" - Richard Zack Washington State University entomologist o ve e d ra di oact iv e flying insects around cans where ythe staff's day-to- day non- radioactive garbage is thrown away. That led Fluor Daniel AP F Ahmed Tibi, a Palestinian official, is surrounded by reporters outside the press center in Queenstown, Md. He commented about yesterdays negotiations. 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. Arness and James Whitmore in which 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.
