Clinton vows new laws to crack down on tobacco
WASHINGTON — Brushing off an industry boycott and threats of lawsuits, Clinton administration officials and members of
Congress say they are confident they'll pass tough anti-tobacco legislation by the end of this year.
Donna Shalala declared yesterday. "There's no question about it because it's about public health."
Major tobacco companies announced last week they would not go along with tobacco legislation being debated in Congress, saying the original goal of reducing teen smoking had been subverted into a money grab that would drive the industry into bankruptcy
Yesterday, industry leaders said that they would use their lobbying power to stop the legislation. They also said they would go to court to challenge provisions that limit advertising of tobacco products and require companies to pay billions in penalties if teen-smoking reduction goals aren't met.
"The first thing we would do, if the present legislation passes, is go to court and have it declared unconstitutional," tobacco industry attorney J. Philip Carlton said on "Fox News Sunday."
Carlton and other industry spokesmen raised the specter of organized crime and drug dealers running black market sales to teen-agents if Congress forces cigarette prices up and the possibility that the industry would move jobs overseas. "You're talking about approximately 2 million American jobs," Carlton said.

Sudanese conscripts killed during escape from military
CAIRO, Egypt — A Sudanese opposition group said Sunday that soldiers shot and beat to death 74 student conscripts trying to flee a military camp outside the capital, Khartoum.
At least 55 others drowned when their boat capsized on the Blue Nile while they were trying to escape, the National Democratic Alliance said in a statement issued from its headquarters in neighboring Eritrea.
If true, the report would dramatically raise the death toll in the April 2 incident. The government has acknowledged that 31 people
There was no immediate government comment about Sunday's report.
The recruits were training at the Alafaion military camp, 15 miles southeast of Khartoum. The government was believed to have picked up many of the men from streets and markets for training to fight an insurgency in southern Sudan.
Military service is mandatory for Sudanese men.
The alliance said 261 recruits tried to escape the camp. As they fled, soldiers shot and beat to death 74 of them, the report said.
Citing government forensic reports, the alliance said autopsies showed the men suffered "beatings with sticks, bullet wounds in the area between the stomach and chest, the spinal cord and the neck." It said its government sources conveved the reports.
Fifty-five others drowned when their boat capsized, although the circumstances of the accident are still unclear. The rest were believed to have escaped, the alliance said.
The bodies of 12 students were handed over to their families, the alliance said, and 117 others were transported by tractor under armed escort and buried in a mass grave April 6.
