Fishermen cause panic
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone They were just trying to catch fish the easy way.
The Associated Press
But the dynamite blasts some fishermen set off near the military ruler's sea-front residence set off a panic yesterday in Freetown. Soldiers thought they were hearing a rebel attack, townpeople thought it was a coup.
Gunfire broke out at the army barracks near the beach. Telephones and electricity went dead. People rushed for their homes.
Compounding the chaos was an intense tropical rainstorm in Freetown, the capital.
Soldiers with rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons ran to guard the main government buildings in the west end of the city.
Other soldiers rushed to the beach and started shooting.
They found four frightened fishermen who quickly confessed to illegally using dynamite to stun fish. They were arrested as "rebels" and beaten up, then taken to the military police headquarters, according to army officers who requested anonymity.
But frightened civilians stayed inside and businesses remained shuttered with metal bars against feared footers.
Later, state radio broadcast a brief statement, saying: "There is no cause for alarm."
WASHINGTON — A panel of top scientists urged Congress yesterday to allow the government to aggressively regulate tobacco — from capping nicotine to banning cigarette vending machines — as a way to fight teen-age smoking.
Smoking may be regulated
The Associated Press
The report by the prestigious Institute of Medicine was strong support for the Food and Drug Administration's plan to curb the tobacco industry.
"Tobacco needs supervision and regulation right away," said Dr. Paul Torrens, a University of California at Los Angeles professor who co-wrote the report. "This is a dangerous, addictive substance that is widely and freely available to teen-agers around this country."
The government says more than 400,000 Americans die each year from diseases attributed to smoking — and 70 percent of smokers start before age 18. Anti-smokers and goverment scientists say as many as 3,000 teen-agers a day become regular smokers, hooked on nicotine after experimenting with just a few cigarettes.
The Institute of Medicine spent 18 months studying how to battle teen smoking and concluded that current school education programs and state laws prohibiting tobacco sales to youths simply aren't enough.
The scientists said an aggressive plan to reduce teen access to and awareness of tobacco is the only solution - led by a Public Health Service agency, probably the FDA, that would strictly regulate tobacco and limit the nicotine allowed in cigarettes.
The FDA already is considering doing just that and has asked outside scientists to determine at what level nicotine becomes addictive. Despite a barrage of cigarette company ads to the contrary, FDA Commissioner David Kessler insists the plan won't outlaw tobacco.
The Institute of Medicine doesn't want a ban either.
The panel also recommended that:
—Congress increase the 24-cent federal tax on cigarettes to $2 a pack.
—Mercantis obtain a state license to sell tobacco, which would be suspended if the store sells tobacco to minors.
"We are not prohibitionists, we are not banning cigarettes," Torrens said. "We are simply saying children should be protected from addictive substances."
—Cigarette vending machines be banned.
All public places, from restaurants to shopping malls, ban smoking.
—Congress repeal the federal law prohibiting states from regulating tobacco advertising so states can ban billboards and any advertising deemed attractive to teens.
—Federal funds help states conduct "sting" operations to catch stores that sell tobacco to minors.
Eavesdropping will be costly
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The costs of helping law officers electronically eavesdrop more easily could be billions of dollars and a loss of privacy for law-abiding citizens, skeptics told a House panel yesterday.
$500 million, FBI Director Louis Freeh told the Energy and Commerce Committee's telecommunications subcommittee.
But the telephone industry, which has been working with the government on that problem, said it is more likely to take billions of dollars to install new hardware and software in

A federal proposal designed to ensure that law enforcers won't lose their ability to eavesdrop in the changing world of digital communications will cost taxpayers about
Exactly what equipment will be needed to make it technically easier for law enforcement officials to tap into communications is not known. United States Telephone Association President Roy Neel said, further complicating accurate cost estimates.
