Spy plane on mission crashes
A U.S. U-2 spy plane on a reconnaissance mission was lost at sea south of the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea, Pentagon officials said yesterday. The fate of the pilot was unknown.
The incident "was not due to a hostile act," Pentagon representative Pete Williams said in a brief interview.
The planes, which carry sophisticated photographic and electronic reconnaissance gear, routinely monitor troop movements north of the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea, said a Defense Department official speaking on condition of anonymity. The missing plane was on such a mission, he said.
"We're interested in monitoring activity around the DMZ,"the official said.
Berlin
The villa where top Nazis plotted the systematic extermination of 6 million Jews will open as a Holocaust memorial Sunday, Berlin officials said.
Holocaust memorial to open
According to Berliners, the Wannsee Villa conference building will be the first "central memorial" that tries to give a complete view of what happened at the hands of the Nazis.
The memorial, sponsored in part by the Jewish community, recalls the victims and examines the culprits responsible for the Holocaust. Emotional photographs and text remind visitors that Germans from all walks of life aided Adolf Hitler's plans to annihilate Jews.
St. Petersburg, Russia
Yeltsin encourages Russians
Boris Yeltsin said yesterday that Russians were suffering their worst economic crisis since World War II and praised them for enduring the painful times "with their teeth clenched hard."
During a visit to St. Petersburg, the Russian president promised to push through privatization of state-controlled industries and sympathized with shoppers who had been gouged by soaring prices.
Bush campaigns in N.H.

President vows to revive struggling U.S. economy
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — President Bush told New Hampshire voters yesterday that he knew they had "gone through hell" economically and that he needed their help at the polls to deliver sensible answers that would bring back prosperity.
Bush made six stops in New Hampshire in search of support in the first presidential primary next month.
At every stop along a cold, windy, but sunny, campaign route, Bush said he wanted people to know that he cared about their problems, their lost jobs and depressed property values.
He also said hard times would not last forever — "We are poised now for a real recovery."
"I think I know this state," Bush said. "This state has gone through hell, extraordinarily difficult times. And yes, people are hurting, and I am determined to turn it around."
Bush said his programs would get the nation to a recovery if he could push the programs past the
"Help me," he said at a Rochester computer equipment plant, which is adding jobs despite the slump. "Help me with a sensible program through this Congress that's still back in the dark ages of government intervention, liberal spending and more taxes."
"I am getting sick and tired of every night hearing one of these carping little liberal Democrats jumping all over my know you what," he said, voice rising.
Then be cranked up the rhetoric and the volume.
With a conservative Republican candidate and five Democratic presidential candidates campaigning against him, Bush cast himself as the man who knows the territory.
"We are in a demagogic year," he said. "A lot of people have discovered New Hampshire for the first time, they've never been in this state, never heard of it, don't know the heartbeat of the state. And I think I do."
Bush came with no specific proposals to boost the economy, promising answers in his State of the Union message Jan. 28 and offering this outline:
A growth package that will stimulate investment and create jobs.
A program to give people confidence that they will have affordable health care.
"People say you're in trouble in New Hampshire," Bush told 300 Republicans at an invitation-only town hall meeting in Exeter. "Well, that may be. But I'm here to listen."
Party withdraws support of Shamir
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — A far-right political party announced yesterday that it will withdraw support from Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir because of the Mideast peace talks, bringing the government close to collapse.
The move could also jeopardize the talks in Washington, which have brought Israeli and Palestinian negotiators face to face for the first time.
Yuval Neeman, leader of the Tehiya Party, said on Israeli Television that the party was leaving Shamir's coalition because Palestinians were offered limited autonomy at the talks.
"We are leaving the government in order to prevent the autonomy which is, from the beginning, actually a Palestinian state," Neeman said.
During the talks yesterday, the Palestinians described to Israel the model of self-government that they want to achieve in the negotiations.
tinian and Israeli officials said. During the election process, Israeli military troops should be withdrawn from populated Palestinian areas in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, and replaced with international peacekeepers, the officials said.
The plan calls for elections, under international supervision, to pick 180 Palestinian deputies, Pales-
Israel was seeking to limit the discussion to matters of agenda, in order to head off a walkout by Tehiya and Moledei, another radical right-wing party in the Israeli government.
Neeman said his Tehiya Party would officially withdraw Sunday, leaving Shamir with 61 supporters in the 120-member Parliament.
Rehavam Zeevi, the leader of the Moledet Party, said he would recommend that it quit the government at a party meeting today. The departure of Moledet would mean Shamir would have only 59 backers.
Neeman said Tehiya would reconsider its decision to leave Shamir "if the prime minister says that he is stopping the negotiations" in Washington.
