The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The Soviet Union will not use force in the Persian Gulf even though it voted for the U.N. resolution allowing military enforcement of an attack on the foreign Minister Edward Shevardnan said yesterday.
Speaking at a news conference with French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas that was dominated by the Persian Gulf crisis, Shewardnade also denied reports that 193 Soviet military advisers still in Iraq were taking part "in preparing details of military operations."
But Shevardnadze said the Soviet Union would not object if the United States and other nations with military vessels in the gulf used force "within the framework of that resolution."
He said the advisers would be brought home soon after their contracts expired and that Soviet women

Americans leave Iraqi capital
55 dependents of U.S. diplomats leave Baghdad, head for Turkey
The Associated Press
ANKARA. Turkey — About 55 dependents of U.S. diplomats who were stranded for several days in Baghdad after fleeing Kuwait, left the Iraqi capital yesterday for Turkey, the U.S. Embassy here said.
Embassy spokesperson Carole Lee Heilman said the Americans left Baghdad early morning in a carriage.
Heileman said the group was expected to arrive at Turkey's Habar border post sometime on the afternoon or evening.

Turkey sometime today, she said.
From there, they were to be taken by bus to the southern Turkish city of Diyarbakir and out of town
She said the 55 were all dependents of U.S. personnel who had been stationed in the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. "An additional 54 or 55 personnel, mostly men, who had not secured their release," Heidman said, and we have not secured their release." Heidman said.
Earlier this week, Iraq gave a Friday deadline for nations to close their embassies in Kuwait, claiming its oil-rich neighbor as part of Iraqi territory. Iraq annexed Kuwait six days after its Aug. 2 invasion of the emirate.
But the United States, most European nations and many other countries have refused to close their embassies in Kuwait City, instead reducing personnel there to a minimum.
The U.S. Embassy sent about 100 diplomats and their dependents to Baghdad, where they were stranded when
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein reversed an earlier promise and refused to let them leave.
"Some of them will be leaving soon." However, he said the diplomats would be treated "just like anybody else," meaning they will be detained. He said that although Iraq and the United States "are on the brink of a catastrophe," Baghdad was not going to use force against the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait.
"The dependents are going to be released," said Mohamed al-Mashat, summoned to the State Department.
But Saturday, Iraq's U.S. ambassador said in Washington that the wives and children of the American president are to be held hostage.
In all, about 21,000 foreigners have been caught in Iraq and Kuwait, including

Whether your definition of entertainment is music, cultural activities or art, you can find it in Kansas City.
The Spirit Festival, an annual celebration of Kansas City, will take place at the Barney Allis Plaza, Bartle Hall and the Municipal Auditorium during Labor Day weekend, August 31 to September 2. Entertainment for the festival includes local musicians performing jazz, blues, country, gospel and ethnic music with national headlining acts including Bo Diddley, Santana and Desert Rose. A car show, arts and crafts exhibits and three nights of fireworks are planned for visitors. Jody Worrell, assistant to the director of the Spirit Festival, estimates over 250,000 visitors to the festival this year.
If you are ready for some jazz music, you're just in time! Kansas City sponsors a Jazz Fest which is held every summer at the Theis Mall near the Nelson Art Gallery. This year it will be held this Saturday and Sunday, August 25-26.
If your definition of fun is rock and roll concerts, Sandstone Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, may be just the place for you. Sandstone is a large outdoor theatre which has been open now for seven years. Coming in August and September will be the B-52, Randy Travis and the Oak Ridge
Boys.
You can also see outdoor music at Starlight Theatre in Swope Park. Coming in September is Air Supply and the Little River Band. Starlight Theatre also presents several plays and musicals.
The Renaissance Festival recreates a 16th-century harvest festival, and runs for six weekends beginning Labor Day. Joists, jesters, kings, queens and all the medicinal food you can eat provide some of the excitement at the festival, which is located about 30 minutes away in Bonner Springs. Proceeds from the festival benefit the Kansas City Art Institute.
If you are interested in art, the largest show in Kansas City is the Plaza Art Fair which attracts artists from across the nation to compete in several different categories including paintings, graphics, photography, sculpture, crafts, fiber, clay, metal, glass and wood. The fair runs from September 21-23 in the streets of the Country Club Plaza.
Each Thanksgiving the Country Club Plaza gives Kansas City a special gift—the Plaza Lights. Forty-seven miles of colored lights cover the buildings throughout the Plaza, which are simultaneously lit. This ceremony is a KC favorite, and it can be one of yours, too.
