Allied ground forces in Balkans grow WASHINGTON -As hundreds more aircraft join NATO's air campaign, a less- noticed array of allied ground forces is assembling on the southern rim of Yugoslavia. Some were brought to the region for humanitarian work and others for potential deployment as peacekeepers. But they could serve as the nucleus of an invasion force if the leaders of NATO reverse themselves and decide tl only an invasion will achieve their aims against Yugoslavian Preside Slobodan Milosevic. The possible deployment of combat troops was discussed on both sides of the Atlantic yesterday. Secretary of .State Madeleine Albright said anew that the Clinton administration is confident air power will achieve NATO's purposes and NATO Secretary General Javier Solana said the allies have no plans to authorize an invasion. But, in a significant addition to the ongoing ground troop dialogue, he added that "if the moment comes when it is necessary" to invade Yugoslavia, "I'm sure the countries that belong to NATO will be ready to do itw" Britain's Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook stressed it would take two to VISIT THE MICHIGAN DAILY ONLINE AT WWW.michigandaily.COm Fellow of the World Business Academy Winner of the 1996 Global Citizen Award Member of the Global Commission to Fund the United Nations Author of Politics of the Solar Age: Paradigms in Progress; and Building a Win-Win World three months to prepare an invasion, i agree. Firefighters critical of FAA airport rules WASHINGTON - A coalition of firefighting groups and unions said last week that many airport fire and rescue organizations are seriously short of equipment and staff because Federal Aviation Administration rules are out- dated. The coalition said even the word "res- cue" is a misnomer because the FAA does not require airport firefighters to be prepared to enter downed planes to fight interior fires or to rescue passen- gers. "The FAA is the only standard-set- ting body in the United States that does not recognize victim rescue and interior fire fighting as an integral part of the firefighter's job descrip- tion," said the report by the Coalition for Airport and Airplane Passenger Safety. The group includes the International Association of Fire Fighters, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the National Fire Protection f one were ordered. Military expe. Association and most major airline unions. "In reality, (FAA rules) instruct fire- fighters to provide only enough protec- tion to ensure a single path through burning jet fuel for those fortunate pas- sengers who can escape on their own," the report stated. Co orations help fun NATO's 50th WASHINGTON - Amid platters of stuffed grape leaves and hummus laid out in the Turkish ambassador's residence, diplomats, Congress mem- bers and federal officials mingled with executives whose corporations are kicking in $250,000 apiece for the NATO summit.

Hale Auditorium* On "Sustainable Futures" Palestinians seek U.S. support for statehood JERUSALEM - Palestinians want a written assurance that the United States will back Palestinian statehood in exchange for a delay in its declara- tion, a diplomat said yesterday. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has sent his deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, to Washington for another round of talks with U.S. officials regarding the decla- ration of an independent state. The Clinton administration is seek- ing a one-year extension of the Oslo peace accords, scheduled to end May 4, out of concern that a unilateral declara- tion of statehood on that date would sink the fragile peace process. Hassan Abdul-Rahman, the Palestine Liberation Organization's Washington representative, told The Associated Press that Abbas had met with U.S. Mideast envoy Dennis Ross. More meetings were expected once Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat arrived in Washington last night. *Hale Auditorium is located at the U of M Business School, Hill and Tappan Streets "The American position regarding several issues will be sent in a letter to President Arafat, the PLO diplomat said. He said the United States is con- sidering holding a three-way summit in Washington in July - after Isr* elects its next prime minister- to rein- vigorate the peace process. Police investigating market bombing LONDON - Police scoured video yesterday from closed-circuit TV secu- rity cameras, searching for clues to a bomb attack in a racially diverse neig borhood of London.
