The decision sets the scene for a trial-like airing of the ties between the five senators and indicted executive Charles Keating who has become the symbol of one of the nation's worst financial scandals.

For Senate Banking Chairman Riegle, 52, the hearing will be the first official, public examination of allegations that have dogged him for more than two years. His 23-year, political career may be on the line. In a brief speech on the Senate floor Tuesday, a calm Riegle said the hearing is a good idea. "It will allow all of the relevant facts to be put fully out in the open, where every citizen can see them and make their own judgment," he said. The so-called Keating Five senators are being investigated for whether "jumping and playing" on a couch in a fifth-floor apartment they were visiting at Franklin Park Towers on Monday afternoon when Sarah suddenly pushed against a picture window See FALL, Page 9A The crowd groaned.

But divers from the mammal center hooked up the cargo net again, passed a line to the Coast Guard boat and pulled him off once more. This time, to an accompaniment of the recorded songs of humpback whales and shouts of "That's right, Humphrey," he let himself be herded back into deep water.

The outcome is uncertain, however, since neither chamber of Congress approved the Civil Rights Act of 1990 by the two-thirds margin needed to override a veto.

The act is designed to strengthen protections against job discrimination. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young and New Detroit President Paul Hubbard also denounced the veto. Heavy lobbying by both sides was expected to continue up to today's vote. Bush said Monday that he vetoed the measure because he feared it See CIVIL RIGHTS, Page 8A 4 He had spent Monday beached, and was nearly out of the water at low tide Monday night. Volunteers sprayed him with water and covered him with towels while earlier rescue efforts failed to free him.

Humphrey's not a beached whale anymore by Alexis Moore Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON Civil rights leaders and women's advocates urged the Senate on Tuesday to override President George Bush's veto of a major civil rights bill, accusing Bush of manipulating racial fears and making "deliberate misstatements" to justify his action. Mary Francis Berry, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights appointed by congressional Democrats, on Tuesday attacked Bush's argument that the bill would foster quotas, saying, "Bush used quotas to fry and make this bill just about blacks, when in fact there are more women who would benefit from its protections and shouted encouragement, Humphrey was pulled free from a mud bank around 2:20 p.m. A combination of a cargo net tied to a 41-foot Coast Guard boat, some recordings of whale sounds and a small flotilla of inflatable boats did the trick. Humphrey stopped once or twice to breathe, sending clouds of spray into the air.

Then after a few minutes, appearing to be exhausted, he beached himself again at the far end of the Candlestick Park parking lot.

Under Arens' order, the 1.7 million Palestinian residents of the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip will be barred from entering Israel beginning this morning, the military command said. Those staying in Israel, where many work, were ordered to return home. Israeli television said the travel ban will remain in effect for "several days" until tensions are reduced.

The army usually erects barriers on main roads leading to the territories to enforce suh orders. The last closing of the occupied areas in response to violence was after the May 20 slaying of seven Arabs by a Jewish civilian near Tel Aviv. The territories also have been blocked in recent years during the Jewish Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, holy day. As always, Jewish settlers living in the occupied territories will be free to come and go. Arens' order was issued hours after attacks in which one Palestinian was killed and several Arabs and Israelis were wounded.

In the latest attack Tuesday, Israeli civilians fired on an Arab car in the southern Negev desert, killing a Palestinian laborer and wounding his three cousins.
