U.S. airlift to starving
in Somalia gains pace
MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) —
An American cargo plane
loaded with split peas left Mom-
basa Saturday, pushing forward
the U.S. airlift of tons of food to
combat the deadly famine in
Somalia.
A third flight, by a giant
C-141 Starlifter, was planned
for later in the day from the
headquarters of “Operation Pro-
vide Relief’ in Mombasa, an In-
dian Ocean port city in southern
Kenya.
The second Hercules fol-
lowed the path of Friday’s initial
C-130 flight to the northeastern
Kenya town of Wajir with about
10 tons of split peas for refugees
from Somalia and equally hard-
hit Kenyans.
The Starlifter, one of the
world’s largest planes with al-
most twice the capacity of die
Hercules, also was destined for
Wajir, an administrative center
for Kenya’s eastern border
region.
Regional drought has left
more than 2 million people in
imminent danger of starvation in
Kenya and neighboring Somalia.
The drought is worsened in
Somalia by war between fac-
tions vyingroffill the vacuum
left by-theTanuary 1991 over-
throw of dictator Mohamed Siad
Barre. The fighting has at times
made it impossible to deliver
food. Aid shipments are re-
peatedly looted.
In Somalia’s port of Moga-
dishu, a Thai ship loaded with
sorghum waited at a dock Satur-
day, tied by ropes that can be cut
for a quick getaway if necessary.
“The first order I gave was to
sharpen the axes,” said its cap-
jain, Ashok Singh.
The United Nations last week
agreed to send 500 troops to So-
malia to protect aid shipments.
This week the total was raised to
3,000 soldiers, who will be
-spread around the country.
The catastrophe building in
Somalia is described as the
world’s worst humanitarian cri-
sis. Aid officials say 1.5 million
of the country’s 8.5 million peo-
_ pie face starvation.
President Bush is calling his
Democratic rival a tax-and-
spend liberal, while Bill Clinton
is warning voters that the Repu-
blican president is trying to
“sucker-punch you” with prom-
ises of a tax cut.
As both candidates cam-
paigned through the first
weekend after the GOP conven-
tion, their schedules reflected a
belief the race will be decided in
the South, the Rust Belt and the
border states between them.
And the rich rhetoric sug-
gested that a brawl lies ahead —
with the economy providing the
stage for the 10-week fight up to
the Nov. 3 election.
“My opponent’s ideas are
clear, present and dangerous,”
Bush told an enthusiastic crowd
Friday evening in conservative
southern Missouri. “He wants to
invest your money in govern-
ment spending and I’m not go-
ing to lei it happen.”
Clinton, ready to set out with
running mate A1 Gore Saturday
on another bus trip through the
industrial heartland, countered
Bush’s jab with a reminder of
the “no new taxes” promised by
the president four years ago.
“If you believe that, I’ve got
some land in the middle of die
ocean I want to sell you,” the
Arkansas governor told a Friday
evening rally in Cleveland, the
first city in his latest buscapade.
-Clinton warned voters Bush was
trying “to sucker-punch you one
more time.”
Bush signed a large tax in-
crease in 1990. In accepting the
^Republican nomination Thurs-
day night, he promised an
across-the-board tax cut accom-
panied by reduced government
spending but offered no
specifics.
Gore was equally mocking in
his criticism of the Bush speech
promise, saying that the presi-
dent might also pledge to “make
all streets run downhill.”
As Clinton crossed the indust-
rial heartland angling to shore
up his support with traditional
-blue-collar Democratic voters,
Bush targeted Southern and bor-
der states crucial to the Republi-
can electoral strategy.
In Mississippi and Missouri
on Friday, Bush said it was
Clinton who couldn’t be trusted
to lead the economy or the
armed forces — a message he
was bringing Saturday to Geor-
gia, Alabama and Texas and to
Illinois on Sunday.
A CBS News-New York
Times telephone poll Thursday
night said 48 percent of the 500
eligible voters surveyed favored
Clinton and Gore and 46 percent
backed Bush and Vice President
Dan Quayle.
Three other surveys this week
also indicated that the four-day
Republican convention in Hous-
ton had whittled Clinton’s
18-point lead of a week ago.
Clinton has proposed raising
taxes $150 billion by raising
rates on those making more than
$200,000 a year. On the cam-
paign trail, particularly before
tax-hating conservative audi-
ences, Bush suggests Clinton
would raise everyone’s taxes.
He labels it “the largest tax in-
crease in American history,”
even though the tax increase
Bush signed in 1990 was bigger.
Quayle predicted Bush would
retake the South with a focus on
taxes and family values — a
strategy that also clearly in-
cludes an unending avalanche of
pointed attacks on Clinton.
The vice president — and the
president later — suggested the
Clinton-Gore ticket was in the
pocket of big labor and trial la-
wyers, this despite a new study
showing lawyers are top donors
to the Bush campaign, as well as
being big Clinton supporters.
Clinton, eager not to repeat
the mistakes of Michael Dukakis
in letting Republicans lay early
claim to the family values issue,-
said the GOP ticket’s use of the
slogan alone was no help to
families stung by the stalled
economy of the Bush years.
“The test of family values is
not whether A1 Gore and I love
our wives and our children as
much as George Bush and Dan
Quayle do, but whether we get
up every day worrying about,
your children and your future,”
Clinton said.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-
Herzegovina (AP) — The crash

;to “ethnic cleansing” and im-
proved conditions at war prisons
ithat have been compared to con-
centration camps.

came Friday, in advance of a
peace conference set to begin
next Wednesday in London. But

ministers and leaders from
across Europe and the world
also was also preceded by

installation near Sarajevo’s
