'March towards peace'in Middle East continues says Egyptian leader
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — In the highest-profile visit by an Egyptian leader in years, Egypt's foreign minister arrived in Israel yesterday and declared his intention to promote the regional march toward peace.
Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said he was optimistic that Israel and Syria could unimid deadlocked peace talks.
He told reporters that a juncture in peace efforts had been reached requiring "all our efforts to further consolidate our march toward peace, comprehensive peace in the region."
Egypt has brokered talks between Israel and other Arab states since signing a treaty with the Jewish state in 1979, and has been trying behind the scenes to break the deadlock in Israeli-Syrian negotiations.
Space ship attempts to dock The Associated Press
MOSCOW — A space ship carrying fresh food and American research equipment failed yesterday on its second attempt to dock with Russia's orbiting space station Mir.
Russian television showed a live broadcast of the cargo ship approaching the Mir, then slipping past. It said a third attempt at docking might be made.
Earlier, Russian space officials had said the Progress supply ship might not have enough fuel for a third attempt. If it fails to dock, it will eventually burn up in the atmosphere.
TOKYO — Japan would fail $125 million short on its payments to maintain U.S. military bases here, according to a proposed fiscal year 1995 defense budget released yesterday.
Payments may fall short
The Associated Press
Japan agreed in 1991 to pay salaries of Japanese civilian workers and utility costs for the 141 U.S. military installations in Japan.
Those costs were to be covered in full by the fiscal year that begins in April. But the Defense Agency budget would cover 91.5 percent of the costs, or $1.35 billion.
Officials told reporters that the amount — up 10 percent over the current year — was all that could be spared under a maximum 0.9 percent increase in defense spending authorized by the Cabinet.
Japan's jobless rate jumps The Associated Press
TOKYO — Reflecting the lingering recession, Japan's unemployment rate jumped to a seven-year high of 3.0 percent in July, the government said yesterday.
The jobless rate, up from 2.9 percent in June, matched the same rate set in January and June of 1987, said the Management and Coordination Agency.
Japan's highest jobless rate since the agency began taking statistics in 1953 was 3.1 percent in May of 1987.
International Trade and Industry Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto told a regular news conference that he was "very concerned about the higher unemployment figure."
Japan's central bank last week said in a monthly report that consumer spending was on the rise but corporate capital spending remains sluggish.
In the latest reporting month, the number of unemployed totaled 1.88 million, up 18.2 percent, or 290,000 people, from a year earlier.

Intensely patriotic, many Russians still resent that the Soviet collapse transformed their motherland from world power to struggling outsider.
Russian troops to return home
"It's good we are leaving, it's high time," the semi-official daily Rossiskaya Gazeta said in a front-page story yesterday about the German withdrawal. "But there is a trace of bitterness in the elated mood of today's celebrations."
The Russian army ends its half-century presence in Germany with ceremonies today, the same day it formally shuts down a 54-year military operation in the Baltics.
Some Russians said the troops are leaving without the fanfare they deserve, but that their soldiers are coming home with dignity.
The defeat of Nazi Germany at the cost 20 million Soviet lives was perhaps the Soviet Union's finest hour on the world stage. But victory turned into occupation and the Cold War, so starkly symbolized by the Soviet-built Berlin Wall, divided the world anew.
For Lev Pushkaryyp, who fought in World War II, Russia's current chaos recalls what troops came home to 49 years ago.
"It was even more difficult for us to come back to our devastated country then, but we overcame the hardships," said Pushkaryov, a
"We can only welcome the fact that our troops are leaving Germany. Maybe we should have done that earlier."
historian.
The Belarus train station in Moscow where soldiers will arrive from Germany on Saturday has been repainted, and a parade route leading into the city center scoured.
Against the backdrop of those festivals, however, extensive media coverage reflects widespread ambivalence about the dual pullets and the reopening of a painful debate about Russia's role in the world.
Several newspapers expressed bitterness that the Russians were excluded from a joint farewell parade in Berlin on June 18 for French, British and American troops, who also are leaving as part of the agreement that brought German reunification in 1990. Russians will have to settle for a less grandiose ceremony that the newspaper Komsomolskaya Prava da called a "second-rate send-off."
"The feeling that they (the Germans) aren't seeing us off but are hurrying to drive us away, doesn't create an atmosphere of celebration," the daily said in a long commentary.
Compared to the other allies' withdrawals, the Russian departure resembles an "escape" more than an organized farewell, Rossiiskava Gazeta said.
Only about 3,100 Russian soldiers and their families remain of the more than half-million in Germany prior to the fall of the Wall in 1989. The last should be gone by Sept. 9.
Hard-liners and ultranationalist politicians such as Vladimir Zhirinovsky want to re-establish the Soviet empire and have accused the West of trying to disarm and weaken Russia.
Gen. Valentin Varennikov, one of the organizers of the 1991 coup attempt who was acquitted this month, urged Russia's soldiers to "hoist your combat banner, feel pride and dignity" as they leave Germany, Latvia and Estonia as "liberators, not as aggressors or looters."
"Despite the slander and lies of Western politicians and some of our compatriots, every soldier must remember that the historical truth is on our side," Varennikov said.
News of the German withdrawal took precedence over the Baltic pullout this week, but many Russians consider the Baltics more important. The government has accused the Baltic nations of discriminating against their ethnic Russian residents.
As the daily Izvesta noted: "It's easier to leave Germany than the Baltics. We spent less time there and never felt at home."
"Even the Russian nationalists don't want particularly to keep the troops in eastern Europe," historian Richard Pipes said in a telephone interview from New Hampshire. "I don't think the pulling out of troops is a big emotional issue" for the general population.
"The Baltic countries are different, because there are Russians living there and the Baltic countries were part of the Russian empire before 1917," he said.
