THE NEWS in brief
SEOUL, South Korea
North Korea staging defense maneuvers. Southern officials say
"Facing the possibility of U.N. sanctions, North Korea is fortifying and staging defensive maneuvers around its main nuclear complex, a South Korean security official said yesterday.
North Korea, meanwhile, accused the South Korean leadership of "sword brandishing" and bringing Korea to the "brink of war."
North Korea is suspected of developing atomic weapons. If denies this but has blocked foreign inspectors from its nuclear facilities.
In a meeting yesterday of security-related ministers in Seoul, national security adviser Chung Jong-uk said intelligence reports showed that North Korea was conducting defense training around its main nuclear complex at Yongbvon. 60 miles north of the capital. Pyongyang.
Chung said North Korea also had fortified its underground military facilities at Yongbyon, but he said there was no sign that North Korea was trying to provoke a confrontation.
The Chosun Ibo newspaper quoted an unidentified high government official as saying South Korea has increased surveillance of North Korea "to be informed of possible military maneuvers ahead of time."
The stepped up tension comes less than two weeks before the International Atomic Energy Agency votes on whether to refer North Korea's continued refusal to allow nuclear inspections to the U.N. Security Council for possible international sanctions.
South Korean Foreign Minister Han Sung-joo will depart for the United States today for talks with Secretary of State Warren Christopher on the nuclear standoff.

Comet fragments to hit Jupiter
The refurbished Hubble Space Telescope, looking close to home, has photographed 20 comet fragments that will smash into the planet Jupiter in July with the force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
The photographs, released yesterday by the Space Telescope Institute, show that the 11 largest pieces are $ \frac{1}{4} $ to $ \frac{2}{8} $ miles in diameter. They appear on the pictures as dots of lights in a string.
"Come July 19 this year, those 18 to 20 objects will hit Jupiter with the force of about 100 million megatons." Hubble project scientist Ed Weiler told a hearing of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees NASA.
"These objects are about 2 to 4 kilometers across," Weiler said. "The significance of that is that the best theory of what destroyed the dinosaurs on Earth about 70 million years ago was that just one object about this size came into the atmosphere and messed things up."
To laughter, Weiler said. "We heard every dinosaur on Jupiter is triving to get out."
The comet, named Shoemaker-Levy for its discoverers, broke up in the summer of 1992 from the tidal forces of Jupiter when it passed the gaseous planet. Its expected demise when it crashes into the Jovian atmosphere has excited astronomers around the world who never before have observed such an event.
The Hubble will continue to make periodic pictures of the comet and will be trained on Jupiter for the big event. Gallieo, another NASA satellite, also will be trained on the biggest planet in the solar system.

North's name absent in files
Senate hopeful Oliver North purged his name from court files detailing his efforts to suppress the prosecutor's final report on the Iran-Contra scandal, sources said yesterday.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals released hundreds of pages of previously secret court documents filed in December by former President Ronald Reagan and former Attorney General Edwin Meese III seeking to block the Jan. 18 release of the prosecutor's report.
But North's name was absent from the court files. One court document had black ink blotting out the name of a third party seeking to suppress the report. The name was North's, and it was blacked out by court officers at the request of North and his lawyers, according to the sources, who have closely followed the seven-year investigation of the scandal and who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"We just don't have any comment," North lawyer Nicole Seligman said when asked about the former White House aide's decision to keep his court motions off the public record.
North is seeking the Republican nomination for the Senate seat held by Democrat Charles Robb of Virginia.
The report by prosecutor Lawrence Walsh concludes that Reagan acquiesced in a cover-up of the Iran-Contra scandal, which was spearheaded by Meese. It also concludes that North regarded Reagan's comments about secretly assisting the Nicaraguan Contras as "an invitation to break the law."
