"Most Americans are working for less money than they were making 10 years ago." The Demockratic presidential candidate told supporters in Davenport, Cedar Rapids and other roadside stops in Iowa. The tour winds up on Friday in Minneapolis/St. Paul after visits in Wisconsin. "Ten years ago we had the highest wages in the world and now we're thirteenth." Clinton tells audiences in factories, county fairs and along non-scheduled roadside stops. The stops are part of Clinton's "On The Road... To Change America" three-day tour through five states in his drive to cap- ture the presidency in the November 3 election. The Arkansas governor, his running mate Tennessee Senator Al Gore and their wives are "whistle-stopping" along the Missis- sippi River. Clinton got a boost on Thursday night at the Clayto County Fair in Iowa when he received the endorsement of the National Farmers Union. "Family farms are suffering today.... because they are not get- ting an adequate price for the food and fiber they produce," union president Leland Swenson told the audience. The endorsement was the first in the organisation's 90-year history, he said. The NFU's 250,000 members are small to medium farmers and the organisation often takes views that are opposite those of the much larger Farm Bureau Federation. Because family farmers are self-employed they often find it difficult to obtain health insurance and Clinton has emphasised his pledge to provide health insurance for all Americans. Medical experts estimate that between 32 to 37 million Ameri- cans are unin red. Clinton and Gore were accompanied in Iowa by that states's Democratic Senator, Tom Harkin, Michael Dukakis, the Democ- ratic standard-bearer in the 1988 election, won in Iowa. Harkin told reporters Clinton understood the problems of the farm economy. Some of the most productive farmland in the world is in Iowa, but the return on agriculture is no better than in 1981, said Harkin, an unsuccessful contender for the Democratic presidential nomination himself this year. Clinton told audiences he backed price support programmes for farmers as long as other countries maintained subsidies. Imelda Marcos "Vindicated" (Reuter).

Headquarters In Sarajevo Ramayana 14: Hanoman The Messenger Deliberately Attacked Sarajevo- The headquarters of U.N. peace-keepers in Sarajevo came under deliberate mortar attack on Thursday evening for the second time in hours and a French soldier was seriously woun- ded, U.N. officials said. "It was a deliberate attack," U.N. spokesman Mik Magnusson said. The headquarters took three 120 mm mortar bomb hits between 10.22 and 10.25 p.m. (2022 and 2225 GMT), he added. "One shot was a ranging round, the other two direct hits on the building," he said. Apart from the French soldier, three persons were slightly hurt, Mag- nusson said. Hours before the attack, Sara- jevo's airport and the U.N. head- quarters came under fire in a fierce exchange between Moslem and Croat forces and Serbs, rai- sing doubts about the future of the U.N. mission in Sarajevo. "It isn't a healthy women for the U.N. to have its men under fire when airport operations have been suspended and we are eva- luating our mission," Magnusson said after the first attack. U.N. officials closed down Sa- rajevo's airport on Wednesday for 72 hours following a sharp in- crease in fighting in surrounding areas and several direct attacks on the airfield. It was a generally quiet night elsewhere in the city, Sarajevo radio editor Zoran Pirolic said. Three civilians were wounded during the night, he added. Spiral of ethnic violance Sarajevo has this week under- gone some of the most intense fig- hting in the four-month war, and Western leaders are coming un- der mounting pressure to try to break the spiral of ethnic violence in Bosnia. More than 8,000 people have been killed in the fighting and 1.7 million left homeless since the Serbs rebelled against an over- whelming Croat and Moslem vote for secession in March. After three days of silence on the issue, U.S. President George Bush called for a U.N. resolution allowing force if necessary to pro- vide humanitarian relief to civi- lian victims of the war in Bosnia. If the resolution is adopted, the U.N. would probably withdraw its own troops, several council sources said. NATO members agreed to start looking at contingency plans that might involve tens of thousands of troops in protecting convoys of food and medicine. Bush also demanded that Serb-run camps, suspected of being used for torture and execu- tions, be opened up for interna- tional inspection. Allegations about such concen- tration camps -- Bosnian officials say there are more than 100 of them and claim without having produced evidence that some 17,000 people have been killed -- have horrified foreign politicians and intensified international de- bate on possible intervention in the former republics of Yogoslavia. Yugoslav Prime Minister Milan Panic, seeking to play down the issue, took a group of journalists to a refugee camp housing Moslems in northern Serbia on Thursday. He said no camp in the two Yu- goslav republics, Serbia and Montenegro, was used for torture or killing and also that he had no control over what went on in Bosnia. British radio and television on Thursday broadcast allegations of beatings and killings of Mos- lem and Croat inmates at Serb detention camps in Bosnia- Herzegovina. TV and Radio broadcast Independent Television News (TT) had broad cast footage of emaciated prisoners and British Broadcasting Corporation radio interviewed two former inmates of a detention centre at the town of Ripac in northwestern Bosnia who said detainees had been bea- ten and shot by guards. Serbia is increasingly seen as the main culprit of the bloodlet- ting in Bosnia, where Serb irre- gulars have carried out a policy of "ethnic cleansing" -- the forcible expulsion of Croats and Moslems from what they perceive to be their land. American Jewish leaders met U.S. National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft on Thursday and asked that the use of force be considered to open reported con- centration camps in war-torn Bosnia-Herzegovina. Jewish organisations, recal- ling their own people's expe- rience in the Nazi Holocaust, have spoken out against Serbian actions towards Bosnians. Bush clearly pointed the finger at Serbia, as did former British prime minister Margaret That- cher who called the fighting in Bosnia a "communist war of aggression. The Bosnian Serbs say they are merely defending their peo- ple and have invited U.N. inspec- tors to look at all detention cen- tres in Bosnia. They say their civilians have been victims of aggression, and that 17,000 of their own are being held in some 22 Bosnian camps. Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karidzic dismissed Thatcher's criticism saying she had "taken leave of her senses" and "swallo- wed hook, line and sinker the pro- paganda of one faction in this war."

Bush Calls Clinton A Closet Tax-And-Spender Washington- President George Bush and magne Democrat Bill Clinton traded barbs on economic policy on Thursday as the crisis in the for- Omer Yugoslavia threw a shadow By Court Dismissal Of Case FORMER Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos declared her- self vin cated on Friday by a Manila judge's decision to throw out one of more than 80 court cases she faces. "With this decision today of the court I am confident that even- tually what is right is going to prevail," she said in an interview after one currency violation charge was dismissed. The wife of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos said the verdict echoed her acquittal on racketeering charges in New York last year. However, the 63-year-old widow still faces 85 civil and crimi- nal charges of helping her husband plunder $5 billion from the nation during his 20-year rule. Judge David Nitafan said the case dismissed on Friday was thrown out because Central Bank rules on taking money out of the country were not in force when the breach allegedly occurred. He said errors in two other cases filed with his court may be grounds for the government to review those charges as well. Nitafan chided the prosecutor for failing to "secure the inno- cent against hasty, malicious, and oppressive prosecutions, and to protect him from the trouble, expenses and anxiety of a public trial... (and) protect the State from useless and expensive prosecutions". President Fidel Ramos said on Thursday he supported a de- mand by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCCG) for Marcos to hand over all her family's alleged ill-gotten gains. Before Ramos took office last month, the then PCCG head agreed to a settlement in principle that envisaged the gover nment dropping the civil cases in return for a proportion of the Marcos assets. Marcos denied any firm figures had been discussed and said talks were still going on. (Reuter). Japan Teacher Arrested On Obscenity Charges Tokyo- Japanese high school teacher allegedly lured a nine-year-old girl into an empty school room to sexually molest her, police said on Friday after arresting him. The teacher, 26, admitted under police interrogation that he had molested the girl but denied he was the culprit in a rash of more than 10 such attacks on young girls in the Chiba area, near Tokyo, the police spokesman said.

(Rtr) over the campaign trail. In Colorado Springs, Colorado, Bush accused Clinton of beet tax- and-spend liberal seeking to levy the largest tax increase in U.S. history. "The other side talks about changing the economy with new spending and they talk about change, that's all you're going to have left in your pocket when these guys get through with you," the president said. Asked by a Denver radio sta- tion how he responded to conser- vatilling on him not to run for re- election, the president said feis- tily, "Tell them to go jump in the lake. I'm not a quitter, I'm a fighter." Clinton, busing through Iowa on the second day of caravan through the U.S., visited a pair of factories to back up his presiden- tial campaign motto that busi- ness, labour and environmental protection go hand-in-hand. "What you see here is an exam- ple of where the environment and the economy and a commitment to earning your workers can all go togethe ability, Clinton said at and profitability," an aluminium recycling plant. Clinton, running-mate Al Gore and their wives are "whistle- stopping" along the Missisippi River. As the caravan continued on its way, Clinton campaign head- quarters in Little Rock, Arkan- sas issued an eight-page broad- side on "the truth" on the presi- dent's economic record while the Bush campaign countered with "heet" on Clinton's shifting stance on middle-class tax breaks. Middle Class Tax Cut Clinton initially backed a middle-class tax cut, then made the break optional in a revised economic plan. Use Of Force Campaigning has all begun to appeal for quick passage of a U.N. resolution authorising use of force, if needed, to get urgent hu- manitarian aid into Bosnia- Herzegovina. After days of Clinton and cong- HANOMAN, hiding in the trees, had missed nothing of the scene below him. When the de- mons had gone and he saw Sita again, dejected and lonely, he went down from his tree and ap- proached her with soothing words: "O, my lady, do not you be sacred of my white monkey fur. I am Hanoman, the son of Bayu, the god of the wind, and I am sent to you by your husband Rama as messenger." Sita, upon seeing Hanoman's white monkey fur, was suspicious at first. "What kind of monster is this white monkey? He must be one of Ra- wana's men, sent to deceive me. Maybe, even he is Rawana him- self, trying to hide his demon's face". On the other hand, is it a genuine messenger sent by my beloved husband? But how could it be that he has reached me from so far. When Rawana caught me, we went flying across dangerous forests, deep rivers and large oceans. It is impossible that Rama's messenger might have cought up with me. It must be another of Rawana's demonic tricks. "As she was, thus, under the speel of doubt, Hanoman ap- proached her, paid her obeisance and addressed Sita in these words: "Hey, Sita, lady of une- qualled beauty, Rama's lord's wife, hear my words for a while. I am the son of Bayu, the god of the wind, and I was sent to check on you by your husband Rama. he is now gathering troops beyond the sea to come and release you from that demon's grip. The troops are all monkey troops, which he gat- hered with the help of Sugriwa, the great lord of monkeys, my uncle. He sent me to you to be Rama's messenger of love. If you don't believe my words, O, my lady, here is Rama's ring, as a to- ken of good faith, from your hus- band Rama. Only then did Sita believe that Hanoman was indeed Rama's messenger. She was pleased beyond description and said: "Now I am sure that Rama is co- ming with Laksamana the fait- hful and that they will release me from the grip of the demons's king Rawana". And she added, overwhelmed by longing: "O Ha- noman the brave, when you see my husband and lord Rama, give him that crest-jewel of mine as my token of love. Tell him I wait for him and will live to see him, as I am no longer grieved." Hanoman, then, took his leave from the lady Sita ans he recei- ved, with his two jointed had, the crest-jewel as a token of Sita's love to Rama. But he was puz- ressional critics urging him to zled.

"It's a step in the right direc- tion," Clinton said in Čedar Ra- pids, Iowa. Visitors' average Despite the scorching heat, the exhibition continues to draw an average of 170,000 visitors daily.

Prepare For End Of Disappointing Flight Houston Preparations for landing the space shuttle Atlantis in Florida began on Friday as the seven as- tronauts neared the end of a mis- sion in which they had to aban- don a risky experiment with a tethered Italian satellite. The orbiter was scheduled to return to Earth on Saturday with the satellite in its payload bay which the crew never fully de- ployed because of problems with a 12-mile (19-km)-long tether which was supposed to link the two spacecraft as they sailed through space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration had billed the flight as one of its riskiest ever because of the unknowns presented by the planned space duet. tronauts have had to struggle with space hardware which fai- led to work as planned.
