Countries clash about land
Ecuador, Peru rekindle old border dispute
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru — Peru admitted yesterday that one of its army helicopters was downed by an Ecuadorian missile, killing five crewmen in a border clash with Ecuador over a 50-mile stretch of mineral-rich jungle.
Ecuador, meanwhile, announced an emergency tax on state workers to pay for the conflict, a revival of a half-century of dispute over the border for the Cenepa River region. The heavily forested area is at the far western edge of the Amazon River basin.
The government ordered state employees to turn over two days of wages so Ecuadorian forces would have adequate funds to allow it to confront the current emergency.
Pope John Paul II and other foreign leaders appealed Sunday to Ecuador and Peru to negotiate a peaceful end to the conflict, which flared Thursday and continued through the weekend with dozens reported killed.
Peru and Ecuador yesterday accepted an invitation to attend a meeting of the Rio Protocol group today in Rio de Janeiro involving representatives of the United States,
Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
The border between the two nations was supposed to have been set by the Rio Protocol, signed a year after Ecuador lost a 1941 war with Peru.
Sunday was the 53rd anniversary of the accord.
Ecuador claims it was robbed of half its territory under the accord. Indeed, its current maps still show the Peruvian coastal city of Tumbes and the Amazon River port of Iquitos to be Ecuadorean.
While there were no new reports of fighting yesterday, representatives of the Organization of American States scheduled an emergency meeting in Washington.
The Peruvian military command, breaking two days of silence, said yesterday that a missile fired a day earlier by Ecuadoran forces had brought down an M-18 helicopter that was resupplying troops. The five crewmen on board were killed.
Ecuador said Sunday it downed two Peruvian helicopters, killing at least seven soldiers. There was no way to immediately reconcile the differing numbers.
Unofficial reports from the battle area reported more than 20 Peruvians and 30 Ecuadoreans dead. The disputed border area is about 530 miles north of Lima, or 220 miles southeast of Quito, Ecuador's capital.
The tropical lowlands around the area known as the Cordillera del
Condor continue to be unmarked, with each side periodically accusing the other of invading the region to stake claims to gold, uranium and possible oil deposits.
Bloody clashes erupted between the two in 1981 in the same area.
Reports yesterday from the Peruvian border gave a mixed picture of people trying to get on with their lives as normal despite the growing presence of troops, blackouts and evacuation drills.
"The people are frightened because of the number of soldiers that have arrived," said Enrique Arancibia, an official of Peru's Zarumilla province, which borders Ecuador on the Pacific coast.
The Pan American Highway passes through Zarumilla and enters Peru at Aguaas Verdes over an international bridge from Huquallapas, Ecuador.
Arancibia said Ecuadorean border guards closed the crossing Sunday but lowered the chain yesterday to allow traffic to pass.
Family members have begun to congregate around Peruvian military bases seeking word of their sons, husbands and brothers.
"Ive come from Pattivila to say goodbye to my only son who is about to be sent to the conflict zone," said Gloria Castillo Sanchez as she waited outside Fort Rimac in Lima. Pattivila is a small town north of the capital.
Although Lima appeared unaffected by the war, Quito was under a state of emergency.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Planned Parenthood of Greater Kansas City said it was spending $460 a day for increased security at its clinics and needs the public's help to ease the financial burden.
The Associated Press
In full-page advertisements in four area newspapers, the agency asked supporters to help defray security costs and urge their congressional representatives to work to end violence at women's health centers.
"It's causing big financial trouble." Patty Brous, executive director of Planned Parenthood, said Sunday.
Clinics plead to end violence
"I almost hate to say that because it means the violent tactics are having an impact. They are, not just from the fear factor, but from costs."
Security has been stepped up at clinics nationwide in the wake of violence — from bomb threats to fatal shootings.
Planned Parenthood of Greater Kansas City is spending $460 daily, or about $187,000 annually, for increased security at seven area clinics, Brous said. That is an 800 percent increase over last year's security costs, the organization said in the newspaper ads.
Increased security measures at
Kansas City clinics include a 24-hour guard at a midtown clinic, the site of an attempted arson Dec.15, as well as technological devices suggested by law enforcement officials, she said.
Planned Parenthood's board of directors underwrote most of the costs of the advertisements, Brous said. One ad ran in Sunday's Kansas City Star, while three others are to run tomorrow in the Lawrence Journal-World and two Kansas City-area weekly newspapers, she said.
Planned Parenthood has taken out similar ads only three times in its 60 years in Kansas City, she said.
Japan magazine cut after scandal
The Associated Press
TOKYO — One of Japan's best-known publishing companies, Bungel Shunju Ltd., said today it would shut down a magazine that printed an article claiming the gas chambers of Auschwitz never existed.
The article in the February issue of Marco Polo, a 200,000-circulation monthly magazine, had provoked growing protests from Jewish groups that called it an insult to Holocaust victims.
copies of the February issue still in stores. Marco Polo editors will be transferred to other posts at the company, he said.
The article claimed the Holocaust was a "made-up story" because "the German government never once plotted or implemented the destruction of Jews."
Tadashi Saito, a company representative, said Bungei Shunju would shut down Marco Polo and recall any
It said the gas chambers at Auschwitz, where more than a million Jews were killed, were communist fabrications and that Jews died there only because of illness.
"We regret that Marco Polo has printed an article about the Nazi slaughter of Jews that lacked accuracy and caused deep sadness and suffering to the Jewish community." Saïtio said in a written statement.
The article renewed questions about Japanese ignorance of the Holocaust and Jewish issues. Bungei Shunju is one of Japan's most prestigious publishers.
Books alleging Jewish conspiracy are frequently published and advertised in major newspapers, and many Japanese apparently don't consider them anti-Semitic.
Last year an official of the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan's largest party, published a book praising Adolf Hitler's election strategies. He withdrew it after international protests.
