From Kansan wires Ugandan rebels attack capital city United Press International KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan rebels overran a southern suburb of Kampala and clashed with government troops west of the besieged capital yesterday in fighting that shattered an already shaky month-old truce. There were unconfirmed reports that Ugandan military ruler G尼. TitoKoel, who seized power in a July coup, had fled the capital to either Jinja, 45 miles east, or Enterbe, the site of Uganda's international airport, 20 miles southeast. Officials at Western-embassies urged their employees and nationals to remain indoors while the fighting continued. About midnight, Radio Uganda began broadcasting special announcements by army commander Lt. Gen. Bazilio Okello, who said government troops were repelling the rebel attack and remained in control of the capital. "The government is in full control. The shooting you hear is by government troops repulsing the (reebels)," said Okello, who is not related to the head of state. "The government is in charge, and the public should remain calm and return to work *momorrow* as normal." In another announcement, Okello summoned the heads of all diplomatic missions in Uganda to a meeting at 10 a.m. today in Kampala. KWALITY COMICS SCIENCE FICTION COMIC BOOKS • GAMES' 1111 Massachusetts 843-7239 In Nairobi, Kenya, the government-owned Kenya Times newspaper reported that the Kenyan army had begun normal military exercises near the Ugandan border. Diplomats said the exercises, involving 5,000 troops, might be aimed at sealing the border in case Uganda fell to National Resistance Army rebels. Earlier, Tito Okello announced that he would meet with the leaders of Kenya and Tanzania in Nairobi today to discuss the deteriorating situation in Uganda. NRA leader Yoweri Museveni was also invited, but an NRA spokesman said it was quite unlikely he would attend the session in Nairobi. The NRA and the Ugandan government signed a peace and power-sharing agreement Dec. Residents in Rubaga said the rebels were courteous and well disciplined. 17 that called for a freeze on all troop movements and the disarming of all fighting forces. But few provisions of the pact have been implemented, and heavy fighting broke out last Friday between the 10,000-man NRA and the army. NRA reba dressed in camouflage uniforms and civilian clothes, marched into the suburb of Rubaga, less than 2 miles from downtown Kampala, to wild cheers and shouts from residents. Hundreds of refugees living in the Roman Catholic cathedral rushed out to shake hands with the guerrillas. One refuge said, "We are under control of the NRA now and we are happy." "I had two leaves of bread with me when I was stopped by the NRA. They only took one. Regular soldiers would have taken both," said one resident As guerrillas fired their weapons into the air in celebration of the victory, residents asked the rebel commander to make a speech, but he declined. Government forces stationed in the area offered no resistance. asked if the rebels planned to move into Kampala, the commander replied, "It is a secret." Diplomats and residents in other parts of the capital said heavy gunfire had erupted in the western suburbs and on the hills overlooking the downtown area. "This is the heaviest gunfire I have ever heard in all my time here," said one diplomat, a long-time resident. Western diplomats reported heavy fighting on Kololo hill, which overlooks Kampala to the northeast, and brief but intense spurs of automatic weapons fire were heard in the western suburbs. "With the amount of troop movements in the city, it appears there is a major battle in the western suburbs," one diplomat said. Dartmouth students end sit-in United Press International HANOVER, N.H. — More than 100 students ended a two-day occupation of Dartmouth College's administration building yesterday when officials agreed to suspend classes today to discuss racism and division on campus. David McLaughlin, Dartmouth president, and Edward Shanahan, dean of students, joined the protesters in singing "We Shall Overcome" as they left Parkhurst Hall, the administration building. More than 200 students and professors occupied the building Wednesday to protest the destruction of three anti-apartheid shanties on the college green by sledgehammer wielding students Tuesday. About half of the protesters maintained the sit-in through Wednesday night and yesterday. Laura Diocovitsky, a Dartmouth administration spokeswoman, said there would be no statement regarding disciplinary action against the protesters. Earlier yesterday, McLaughlin and a committee representing faculty manumously agreed to suspend today's classes to discuss in workshops allegations of racism, violence and disrespect for diversity at Dartmouth. Rajiv Menon, senior and one of the protesters, said there was great dissatisfaction with McLaughlin's remarks but students thought the occupation had gone on long enough. "Staying in the office would not ac-complish anything at all," he said. "That's what most people felt. I think it certainly strengthened our resolve." McLaughlin's meeting with the protesters initially focused on shanties, but spilled over into accusations that the administration was insensitive to blacks, women, homosexuals and international students. Black students criticized McLaughlin for being absent during campus ceremonies Monday marking the birthday of slain civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Daryl: Witerspoon, a black student, asked "What was so urgent, so pressing that you couldn't be here to show me that you care?" McLaughlin, who was on an alumni trip in Florida, said he did not realize his presence on campus during the national holiday meant so much to students. "That was an insult to me, to my family. Why weren't you here?" "I should have been been," said McLaughlin. "I realize that now." McLaughlin, however, said he would not condemn the destruction of three or four apartheid shanties as a racist act. Government moves to ban asbestos The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The government moved yesterday for the first time to ban deadly asbestos, a widely-used substance that officials say causes up to 12,000 cancer cases annually in the United States. Under a two-phased attack, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed an immediate ban in five product categories, mostly in the construction area. The EPA said it wanted to cleanse the environment of all products containing the known carcinogen in the next decade. EPA Administrator Lee M. Thomas said human health — not monetary cost — was the EPA's foremost concern. Thomas said it would take about a year for the agency to complete public hearings and administrative review of the proposed asbestos rule, which has been in the works since late 1979. dustry group as unwarranted, culminated more than six years of regulatory soul-searching within the government and months of infighting between the EPA and the Office of Management and Budget. aver as many as 1, 900 deaths from asbestos-related lung cancer over the next 15 years.

Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce oversight and investigations subcommittee and a longtime EPA critic, called the action long overdue "We are taking this action because of the significant and well-documented threat to health that asbestos represents," he said. "No level of exposure is without risk." The plan to remove asbestos from the five product areas probably will be published formally next week in the Federal Register, the compendium of government regulatory and rule-making proposals, said agency spokesman Dave Ryan. Public hearings will be scheduled, starting three to four months after publication, and public comment can be submitted to the agency for 90 days after publication, he said. 37 people die in fire in resort United Press International The fire sparked a panic that sent some of the 185 guests leaping from room windows or clambering down knotted bed sheets to escape the flames.
