Russian troops retreat from enclave
Nationalists in the secessionist enclave of Chechen-
Inghush yesterday forced the retreat of about 1,000 troops
who were sent to enforce emergency rule imposed by
Russia.
The peaceful departure of the soldiers, which occurred one day after they arrived, appeared to be a slap in the face of Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
Gen. Dzhokar Dudayev, a former Soviet army general who was wagoned to the president of the territory, died peacefully in Paris on Wednesday.
*p* Butterfield has more hope now. Dudayev has led the drive by dominant nationalist Chechens to break from Russian control. Chechen-Ingush, a mostly Muslim region of about 1.3 million people, declared itself independent a week ago, saying it feared domination by the Russian government.
Yeltsin refuses to allow any break-up of his federation, saying that a break-up would jeopardize recent economic reforms. Yeltsin declared Friday the emergency rule in Chechen-Ingush.

U. S. officials to restore diplomatic ties
U. S. diplomas are heading to Cambodia to restore the official ties severed 16 years ago.
The expected arrival today of the U.S. delegation pleases Congress on the occasion of building a new embassy by more than two decades of war.
- white other countries were flying to the moon, we were being destroyed by war, said Long Visio, Cambo-
to. We were not flying to the moon.
In the early 1970s, the United States launched the most devastating bombing campaign in history against Cambodia.
At the time, the United States was backing a military regime that was fighting a Communist insurgency in the countryside, and U.S. troops bombed neighboring Cambodia to root out Vietnamese opponents across the border.

Babies abound 9 months after troops' return
Nine months after the 101st Airborne returned from the Persian Gulf war, the staff at Blanchfield Army Hospital is digging in for a siege. The staff calls it Operation Baby Storm.
The normal monthly birthrate at Fort Campbell and other bases whose units served in Operation Desert Storm is expected to triple as a result of last spring's joyous homecomings, Army medical officials said
"This is the fallout of literally thousands of soldiers returning from Saudi Arabia at the same time," said Lt. Col. Edwin Dale Schoenover, Blanchfield's chief of staff.
"There was planeload on planeload of soldiers coming home day after day in March and April."
Arrangements have been made for some babies to be delivered at nearby civilian hospitals.
"We knew this would happen," Scribbon said. "About 757 women are due to deliver babies in January, officials said. The officials said the norm for January was 130 to 160.

Japan to consider lifting ban on sending its forces overseas
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Secretary of State James Baker arrived in Japan yesterday, less than a week after a new government took office, to confer with leaders pledging to fashion a more aggressive global role for their economically powerful country including ending its ban on sending troops overseas.
Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa is pressing the Japanese parliament to lift a ban in place since the end of World War II that prohibits sending Japanese forces outside its borders. But he is mindful of possible international reaction.
Miyazawa emphasized in a speech three days after taking office that he remained committed "to an exclusively defensive posture and not becoming a military power such as might threaten other countries."
A senior State Department official said during Baker's flight from the Netherlands to Tokyo that Japan's new willingness to consider making its forces available for U.N. peacekeeping activities was attributable to the Persian Gulf war.
"The gulf crisis produced soul searching in Japan about the issue," said the official,
speaking on condition that his name not be used.
"The result of the crisis has been a significant shift in Japanese public opinion," the official said. "For the first time, over 45 percent of the population approves involve-
keeping and less than 37 percent are
oooopsed.
In an article in the current issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, Baker praised Japanese willingness to enlarge its defense responsibilities.
But the secretary of state also took note of the continuing "economic tensions in our increasingly interdependent relationship."
During the first eight months of 1991, Japan accounted for 67 percent of the U.S. trade deficit of nearly $40 billion. Although the overall trade deficit for that period was 37 percent below the figures for the same months in 1990, the deficit with Japan actu-
allvedgedupnearly1percent.
"Many aspects of the Japanese economy are still constricted by exclusionary business practices," Baker wrote.
"We have a clear problem with Japan," said House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., last week when he introduced legislation to toughen procedures for responding to countries that have large trade surpluses with the United States at the same time they exclude U.S. products from their markets.
So far, Japan has resisted pressure from the Bush administration to open its market to rice imports which currently is banned in the Pacific nation.
Baker flew to Japan from The Hague where he and Bush attended a meeting of European Community nations.
After two days in Tokyo, the secretary of state will go to South Korea to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation ministerial meeting and conclude his Asian tour with a visit to China.
A highlight of the Seoul meeting is expected to be the admission of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong to APEC membership.
Hospital in Wichita may ban abortions
Hospital officials said the move had nothing to do with recent threats by
Wichita anti-abortion leaders to boycott the hospital. The board meets Nov. 21 in a closed-door session.
Operation Rescue founder supports boycott
While elective abortions are not performed at Wesley, resident physicians are allowed to perform abortions elsewhere.
"They need to know boycotters like this have been very successful all over the country and have caused hospitals to return to the practice of healing instead of killing, "Terry said. "We want to pressure doctors to be doctors, not assassins."
The Associated Press
Neither Nestor Weigand Jr., head of the hospital's board of directors, nor Jim Blitz, the chief executive officer, could be reached for comment Saturday by the Wichita Eagle.
Terry's return to Wichita was his first since Sept. 6, when he appeared for a tapping of the Phil Donahue television talk show.
40,000 attend rally to protest labor laws in South Korea
On Friday, the three physicians said the hospital's board of directors was considering the ban.
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — Thousands of workers and students marched through Seoul yesterday calling for the repeal of labor laws after the largest dissident labor protest in South Korean history.
"Repeal vicious labor laws and down with President Roh Tae-wooi!" shouted workers, who wore red bandannas and headbands and jabbed their fists into the air.
"If they don't stop the policy of allowing children to be killed there and harboring abortionists, there's no question in my mind there'll be a boycott there," Terry told reporters when he arrived in Wichita.
WICHITA - Randall Terry, founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, returned to Wichita, praising abortion protesters for threatening to boycott a Wichita hospital.
About 40,000 people attended the rally, the largest ever by the country's dissident labor groups.
More than 10,000 riot police armed with shields, batons and gas masks at first blocked the marchers from leaving the rally site, but after an hour allowed protesters to march.
Scuffles broke out between marchers and police, but no injuries or arrests were reported.
