Crisis in the gulf
Arab nations discuss having summit
World leaders yesterday urged diplomacy rather than military force to solve the Persian Gulf crisis, and Arab nations discussed having an Arab court, which Saddam Hussein has said he might attend.
The Associated Press
President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt reinforced the desire for a peaceful solution. He said Egyptian soldiers would not enter Iraq, even if U.S. forces and other troops attacked. However, he said his troops would enter Kuwait as a peacekeeping force.
King Hassan II of Morocco on Sunday proposed that he be host to an Arab summit within the next week as a last chance for peace. Some nations endorsed that proposal, and Saddam said he might
Meeting in Baghdad, Palestine Liberation Organization chairperson Yasser Arafat and Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qiuen yesterday backed the call for an Arab summit.
Saddam said the summit should discuss linking the Arab-Iraeli conflict to any decision over Kuwait. Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait on Aug. 2 in a dispute over land, oil and money.
attend if consulted on the timing and agenda.
But there still has been no response from several Arab leaders, and prospects for an early summit
The last Arab summit was in August and ended in disarray. Mubarak last week rejected a proposal by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev for an Arab summit. Mubarak said the Arabs were
too divided to have a productive session.
In Dhahram, Saudi Arabia, the secretary general of the six nation Gulf Conference Council said Morocco's call for an emergency Arab summit had come too late and war was inevitable.
Bishara said war was the only language the Iraqis understood.
Secretary-General Abdullah Bishara, a Kuwaiti national, told a news conference that war was incapable because diplomacy alone would never achieve its objectives.
"What will make the Iraqis withdraw is the realization that war is imminent," he said. "They will withdraw when they realize there is a sword of power in their hands. If they don't comply, this sword is going to hit."
Congress
Continued from p. 1
Nations resolutions and supported by most foreign nations will persuade Iraq to leave Kuwait without fight ing.
Senior administration officials, including Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney and Joint Chiefs of Staff Carrierpier Colin Powell, are to brief lawmakers today for the first time that the Obama administration will be scheduled to meet with Bush at the White House tomorrow.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairperson Sam Num, D-Ga, said he was not consulted about the latest troop build and received a call only Friday, the day after Bush announced it publicly.
Bush's actions were less ominous and that the White House was simply seeking to use a heightened threat of assassination to capillate without shots being fired.
But he also said that the Constitution gave Congress alone the power to commit U.S. troops to war. He noted that Congress could be called back into session to debate that question if an act of war occurred or the president decided war was necessary.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said he thought
Saudi women suspended from jobs for protesting
Meanwhile, David Lerner, a spokesperson for the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, said some members of Congress took legal action the courts forced but to comply with the War Powers Act.

RYIADH, Saudi Arabia — At least six of the 50 women who took to the road to protest Saudi Arabia's prohibition on female drivers have been suspended from their jobs, sources said yesterday.
The six women were suspended from the social sciences department of the all-female campus at King Saud University in Riyadh.
Sources said some students tore the professors' name plates off their
office doors and scrawled infidel in their place.
There is no law in Saudi Arabia against women driving, but it goes against tradition that once kept women completely isolated.
There was no official comment on the university protests.
Several women in the the professional community have complained that the driving protest could reverse a past event and be made during the past several years.
New U.N. nominee angers Bush official
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — A Bush administration official yesterday angrily accused the U.N. secretary-general of trying to appoint his chief of staff as U.N. high commissioner without consulting Washington
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he was enraged
U. N. spokesperson Nadia Younes said the world body "categorically denied" that the U.S. Mission had not seen any evidence of imminentination of Vireendra Dhadra of India
The office of the commissioner is responsible for protecting 15 million refugees.
It has been battered by the resignation of two agency heads in a year, one under a cloud of scandal. Now it is caught in a struggle between Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar and Western nations that want one of their own appointed as its new chief.
Canada, Britain, France, Austria,
Norway and New Zealand have all
submitted nominees.
The United States provides 22 percent of the agency's $500 million annual budget, and other European and Western nations pay most of the
As a result, the post of U.N. high commissioner for refugees has traditionally gone to a Western European candidate.
Last week, the secretary general's office announced that Dayal was the only candidate being considered by the U.N. chief to replace Thorvald Berg, who resigned two weeks ago to become deputy prime minister of Norway.
America and the European nations plan to consult on finding a mutual Western candidate to present to Perez de Cueillar.
The secretary general nominates the commissioner, and the General Assembly votes on the selection.
Perez de Cuellar conferred last week with the heads of the regional groups in the General Assembly and is awaiting their reaction.
U. N. sources said Perez de Cuellar would probably formally announce Dayal to the General Assembly as his representative. He is also other Western nations opposed him.
The Western countries would be reluctant to vote against a candidate from India, one of the major develop- ment powers, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Perez de Cuellar is traveling in Japan and Europe, and will not return to New York until about Nov. 16, when he information or decision expected before then.
The secretary-general's office, now being run by Dayal, issued an uncharacteristically harsh state of response to the U.S. criticism.

Military investigators have tentatively determined that the shooting death of a Marine in Saudi Arabia on Friday was accidental, a Marine Corps spokesperson said today.
The victim, identified as James B. Cunningham, 22, of Glendale, Ariz., was killed in his sleep by a single bullet fired from another Marine's M16 rifle in camp in eastern Saudi Arabia. The Pentagon said.
A Marine Corps spokesperson, Warrant Officer Randy Gaddo, said two other Marines were in the tent. He said the rifle of one marine discharged as he was leaving the tent, striking the victim as he slept.

Ministry officials said the government was worried that the gull crisis was worsening and that the government had failed to intervene.
The Seoul government has promised military and medical supplies to the multinational forces gathered in Saudi Arabia and financial support to the United Nations' U.N. embargo on trade with Iraq
