Race heats up after Sanford surgery
By Stephanie Greer
Stiff Writer
The U.S. Senate race between Demo
cratic incumbent Terry Sanford and
Republican Lauch Faircloth has re
mained heated as Sanford attempts to
regain his early lead in the polls.
Sanford was absent from the cam
paign trail for two weeks as the result of
surgery on a heart valve. His absence
led to a series of Faircloth television
advertisements in which Faircloth
wished Sanford a speedy recovery from
his surgery.
The ads were perceived by many as a
ploy to hurt Sanford's campaign, said
Jennifer Hill man, a Sanford campaign
aide.
"It's hard to measure the effect of any
' given ad, but (Sanford) was definitely
' hurt in the polls," Hillman said.
Robert Anderson, a Republican can
' didate for U.S. Congress, said that he
perceived the Faircloth ads as "honest

She cited Faircloth's accusation that
Sanford was against welfare reform as
false. Sanford is actually a very strong
supporter of welfare reform, she said.
Hillman also said that Faircloth
wrongly accused Sanford of being a
"big spender."
Sanford voted against President
Bush's tax increase in 1990, and he
voted to cut $12 billion from federal
spending, she said.

Meanwhile, Sanford is attempting to

"He's going to do everything he can

Sanford, who began campaigning on

policy, but they haven't forgotten that
they don't like it," she said.

"Faircloth doesn't make public ap

what he stands for. All he does is run
negative ads," Hillman said.
Blake said he believed Faircloth
would not be an effective senator. "He's
a perfect puppet," he said.
Blake pointed out that Faircloth be
came a Republican only one year ago
and said that Faircloth, if elected, would
have no influence in what would be a
largely Democratic senate.
But Anderson said he believed
Faircloth would win the election.
"He will be a good senator because
he represents the people of North Caro

said.
Blake disagreed. "The U.S. Congress

Ewell said he decided to pull out of
the race after talking with the mayor and
several council members.
"I did a lot of soul-searching," he
said. "It was a tough decision because a
lot of folks wanted to see me (on the
council)."
Ewell said he would consider run

that he would continue to stay active on
several planning committees and task
forces until then.
"I haven't quit yet," Ewell said.
The council is expected to make an
appointment for the vacant seat this
week. The appointee will serve until
next November's municipal elections.
The person receiving the fifth-highest

Lithuanians hold first
independent elections
VILNIUS, Lithuania Lithuanians
trudged through heavy snow to the polls
Sunday in the country' s first parliamen
tary election since it won independence
from the Soviet Union.
President Vytautas Landsbergis tops
the list of candidates from the govern
ing Sajudis Popular Front, but with 16
other parties vying for seats, there was
no guarantee the movement that led
Lithuania to independence would win a
majority in the new parliament.
Voters also were being asked to ap
prove a new constitution that creates a
stronger presidency. It would provide
for popular election of a president, who
currently is chosen by the parliament.
After casting his ballot, Landsbergis
was asked by The Associated Press
whether he would run. The 60-year-old
former music professor replied with a
smile, "Yes."
According to preliminary reports, 60
percent of the electorate had cast their
ballots by the time polls closed at 10
p.m.
Voters came to the polling stations
during a heavy snowfall that sent cars
skidding into one another on the icy
streets of Vilnius.
To ensure as high a turnout as pos
sible, the polls were open from 7 a.m.
For many of Lithuania's 2.5 million
voters, Sunday's choice was harder than
during the last parliamentary elections
in February 1990, when the key issue
was whether or not a candidate favored
independence from the Soviet Union.
Now, 473 candidates from 17 parties
are contesting 1 4 1 seats in the Seym, as
the parliament is called in Lithuanian.
Landsbergis remains popular, but he
is facing increasing pressure because of
the nation's economic hardships.
Muslim guerrillas kill
five Israeli soldiers
RASHAYA, Lebanon Muslim
guerrillas set off a roadside bomb Sun
day, killing five Israeli soldiers in one
of the deadliest attacks in the Israeli
occupied enclave in southern Lebanon,
security sources said.
Seven soldiers were wounded in the
blast in the village of Ahmadiyeh on the
northern edge of Israel's self-designated
security zone, said the sources, who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
The attack came as the seventh round
of Middle East peace talks was under
way in Washington.
There was no immediate confirma
tion of the report from Israel, which
often withholds news of attacks on its
soldiers in Lebanon until their families
have been notified.
Israel normally reacts by sending
warplanes on bombing missions against
guerrilla hideouts in south and east Leba
non. Israeli warplanes have struck Leba
non at least 29 times this year. Most of
the air raids were in retaliation for guer
rilla actions in the south, although some
were pre-emptive strikes.
The Islamic Resistance, the military
wing of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah,
claimed responsibility for the attack on
the Israeli soldiers in a statement broad
cast by its radio station, Voice of Islam.
The report said a "large number" of
Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded,
but gave no figures. It did not say if any
of the attackers had been captured or
hurt.

Death squad threatens
EI Salvodoran peace
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
A rightist death squad's threat to kill
leftist rebel leaders has heightened ten
sion in El Salvador, menacing a fragile
peace process in this war-torn Central
American nation.
Guerrilla chiefs dug in at their IS
stronghold camps over the weekend,
placed their remaining fighters on alert
and accused President Alfredo
Cristiani's conservative government of
being in cahoots with the death squads.
A presidential spokesman retorted
that "intelligence reports" showed the
Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front guerrillas secretly were planning
to assassinate a number of government
of government officials.
As tension rose, the average Salva
doran began fearing the January peace
accords could collapse and violence
erupt again after a cease-fire that ended
more 1 2 years of civil war expires Sat
urday. It is also the deadline to complete
the terms of the peace plan.
On Saturday, the rebels popularly
known as the FMLN said they would
be willing to accept such an extension.
But Cristiani's administration, beset
with the delicate task of purging the
military of human rights violators,
seemed to be dead-set against it.
So are many among the military and
in Cristiani's Republican Nationalist
Alliance, also known as ARENA, which
in the past had strong ties with security
forces and the death-squads.
The Brigade said in a statement Fri
day that the peace accords gave too
many concessions to the rebel "terror
ists," creating an "intolerable situation"
by "purging our glorious armed forces."
Its hit list included U.N. officials in
the country to supervise disarmament
and enforcement of the accords, leftist
politicians, Salvadoran journalists and
foreign correspondents.
Joint Chinese, Russian
Mars mission planned
BEIJING Chinese and Russian
scientists are preparing for a joint mis
sion to explore Mars and look for signs
of life, an official report said Sunday.
For the past two years, scientists from
the Chinese Academy of Sciences have
been working with the Russian Acad
emy of Sciences researching and mak
ing high-altitude sounding balloons for
detecting cosmic rays and studying
space environment, the official Xinhua
News Agency reported,..; , .
Yuri Sergeevich. Osipov, the presi
dent of the Russian academy, was quoted
as saying they were preparing to launch
a spacecraft in 1 994 that will orbit Mars
and collect data. A second launch in
1996 will land on the planet to explore
its climate and geology and search for
signs of life.
The project has been dubbed Mars
96. France, Italy and the United States
also are working on the project, but
Osipov did not give details of their
work. .
The Soviet Union launched two Mars
bound spacecraft in 1988, but both failed
to reach the planet, the report said.
China' s space technology has focused
on satellite launches. It has said it would
launch an unmanned spacecraft by the
year 2000, but few details of those plans
have been reported.
