Nation/World briefs El Segundo, Calif.
Oil spills into Santa Monica Bay
About 55,000 gallons of light oil lipped yesterday into Santa Monica Bay, glazing five square miles of water after a tanker apparently pierced an underwater pipeline with its anchor.
The closest oil to shore was a mile from the Chevron USA Inc. refinery in El Segundo, said Chevron representative Tom Richart.
Thirteen skimmers and boom-towing boats were sent to contain the spill, but Richard said there was not much they could do because the fuel was too light.
Three oil-soaked birds were recovered from the bay for cleaning, said Lt. Reed Smith of the state Department of Fish and Game.
By dawn, oil had stopped leaking from the 7,100-foot pipeline, situated 60 feet underwater and connecting the Chevron refinery to an unloading mooring one mile offshore, officials said.
Johannesburg, S. Africa At least 15 killed in violence
At least 15 people died in scattered violence yesterday, including four killed before a peace rally that drew more than 2,000 supporters of a leading antiwar group, police said.
Six people died in fighting at a hostel, and five died in other incidents, police said.
The violence occurred despite peace meetings last week between Inkatha and the rival African Union.
Inkatha conducted the rally in Alexandra township, which is in Johannesburg, as part of what it called its effort to stop violence in the tense community.
Armed group members wearing red headbands symbolic of inkatha gathered at the rally site yesterday morning under the gaze of soldiers, many carrying automatic riffles.
Muscat, Oman
Iran to resume Saudi relations
Iran's foreign minister said yesterday that his country soon would resume diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia, ending one of the Islamic world's most pressing issues, the official Oman News agency reported.
The report came after a surprise three-hour meeting between the Iranian minister, Ali Akbar Velayati, and his Saudi counterpart, Prince Saud al-Faisal.
Relations between the two states broke off in April 1988. They had collapsed after Saudi security officials battled rioters during the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in August 1987 and 275 Iranians died. Each country blamed the other for causing the disaster.
LIMA, Peru — With the death toll from cholera already above 300, the possibility of an extended shutdown of water and electric service has health officials fearing the epidemic could quickly spread.
Peru facing epidemic water service shutdown

From The Associated Press
Most of Lima's 7 million people awake Saturday at the faculties dry house of emergency work at the clinic.
The city's electric company cut off power in poor sections of Lima yesterday for repairs on ruins.
It was not known how long either of the shut-
downs would last, but lack of water or electric
council power would mean it would be hard.
More than 71,000 cholera cases have been reported in Korea, with 308 confirmed deaths. The number of new cases has increased.
Cholera, a bacterial infection that causes serious diarrhea and dehydration, is spread by contact with contaminated feces, often on food and in water.
Medical experts said the water cutoff will make it harder for people to wash and cook food properly. Unaffirmed tooths are particularly worrisome because they can lead to the disease, said a Health Ministry representative.
A representative for the water company said workers must remove large amounts of debris from intake pipes, and it was not known how long that would take. Most water company workers should be given higher pay, but the representative said nonstrictive workers and managers could remove the debris.
The electrical cutoff was ordered so the utility Electrolitra could make emergency repairs to towers. It is not known how long repairs will take because Electrolitra workers are expected to begin a strike today to demand the government respect labor contracts. President Alberto Fujimi annulled all contracts in August as part of a severe austerity program.
The water company said 85 percent of Lima's residents have running water in their homes. The city is also building a new water treatment plant.
Without electricity, the pumps that move water to the roofs of multistory buildings cannot work. So even when there is water in street mains, there may be no water in apartments.
Some 70 percent of Lima's water comes from the Rimac River, which flows out of the Andean coastal plain. The other 30 percent comes from wells, most of which feed into the main water plant.
Ban lifted in Israeli cities
But many Palestinians lose jobs in Tel Aviv, Haifa; employers, tired of waiting, hire Soviet immigrants
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Nearly 300,000 Arabs from the occupied territories tried to return to jobs in Israel yesterday after authorities lifted a ban on their employment. The Arabs found their jobs taken by Soviet Jewish immigrants.
Tel Aviv and Haifa had been closed to Palestinians since the start of the Persian Gulf War, when the occupied territories were put under curfew to prevent pro-Iraq unrest.
Brig. Gen. Fredy Zach, deputy government coordinator in the territories, said Tel Aviv and Haifa were reopened as part of a gradual post-war return to normalcy. Jerusalem, off-limits since an Arab stabbed four women to death March 10, also was reopened.
He added that precautions were taken to prevent violence. Only Palestinians registered with the Israeli employment service were allowed in and they had to undergo a security check before entering. Another, a military government rep-
residentative, said 20,000 Arabs came in from the West. Bank and 9,000 from the Gaza Strip.
"We are talking about many thousands of 'breadwinners who bring home food, and their need for food is met.'"
The number of Arabs entering Tel Aviv and Haifa yesterday was well below the 45,000 allowed back to other parts of Israel last week. Many Arabs left for the United States called in the occupied territories to support Iraq.
The Palestinian underground and Hamas, an Islamic fundamentalist movement, called for the strike in leaflets, condemning aggression against Iraq by the United States and its allies.
Ordinarily, more than 100,000 Palestinians have jobs in Israel. But since last fall, when a surge in Palestinian violence coincided with an influx of immigrants, many of the jobs have gone to Soviets.
Shmuel Ozenboy, a military government rep-
Jewish garage owner Danny Levy said he replaced his five Arab workers with six Soviet Jews.
"The problem with the Arabs is that they came in late because of security issues upsetting the work schedule." Levy told Israel army radio "So I gradually cut them out and absorbed immigrants in their place."
