Nation U.N. to make last-ditch appeal to Haiti rulers (AP) The U.N. Security Council, in a move supported by the Clinton administration, has approved a new demand that Haiti's military rulers surrender power. One official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the actions could pave the way to using force if Haitian army chief Raoul Cedras resists, and that the "communication" to be delivered to him may be interpreted as a pre-invasion warning. The move, disclosed Friday by administration officials, is a big step toward unity within the council.

It also could head off diplomatic initiatives that might encourage Haiti's leaders to believe they could negotiate concessions, the U.S. officials said The Security Council may send a mission to Port-au-Prince to deliver the latest "communication" within a week. "The council would determine if the rulers of Haiti are prepared to implement the U.N. resolution," said a U.S. official, He said the administration was "comfortable" with the move but did not initiate it.

No opposition has surfaced so far, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The administration has not set a deadline for Haiti's rulers to depart. Secretary of State Warren Christopher said this week it would be a bad idea because it might be interpreted as license to stay on until the deadline. Clinton needs a win on health care WASHINGTON (AP) The twin setbacks suffered by President Clinton on crime and health care legislation are ominous signs for a president who needs to sell himself as a leader who can get things done. Even if Clinton engineers a promised comeback, the question will remain: If he stumbles on a politically popular issue such as crime, how will he fare on the much tougher battleground of health care? And if Clinton and the Democrats can't convince voters that they've broken gridlock when they control both houses of Congress, why would voters conclude that they deserve another chance? "If you don't have two of the most important issues, health reform and crime, it's hard to run on a platform of accomplishment," Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said.

"They'd have to find another IRS wants to seize company because of 1 cent MONTROSE, Colo. (AP) The Internal Revenue Service threatened to seize a sprinkler company for a penny underpayment of quarterly employee withholding taxes, provoking an angry congressman's intervention. Rainmaker's Inc. accountant Tom Jaskunas said he informed the IRS the shortfall resulted from rounding that is supposed to be allowed. But he got a nasty written reply: "We must now consider taking your wages, property and other Rep.

Scott Mclnnis, wrote the IRS, questioning the agency's judgment. The congressman taped a penny to his saying, "Now back off Rainmaker." Mclnnis added that the IRS should provide an explanation "when reality sets in." The IRS wrote back saying it was dropping the matter. Denver IRS spokeswoman DiAnn Cunningham refused. to comment specifically on the Rainmaker case. She did say, isn't something that would happen on a one-cent underpayment." Dennis Vanderwist, Rainmaker's owner, said: "What frustrates me is government asks us to play by the rules they don't play by themselves." Che Vil60 a a World Thousands flee Rwandan security zone KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) Government leaders and U.N,.

fanned out through southwest Rwanda on Saturday, -trying to stem the flight of more than 1 million people fearing a Enew surge of killings. Thousands were already reported fleeing toward the Zairian border. Aid groups shipped food, shelter and medical supplies to a camp in Bukavu, Zaire, in an effort to prevent a new refugee tragedy. The exodus is expected to speed up as the Aug. 22 deadline approaches for French troops to withdraw from their security Zone in southwest Rwanda.

Emery Brusset, a spokesman for the U.N. emergency office in Rwanda, said it would be "lucky" if only 1 million people flee the security zone in the coming week. The French are supposed to be replaced by U.N. peacekeepers from African countries, but many Hutus fear the new troops will be unable to protect them from Tutsi retribution. The Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front toppled the Hutu government in early July, after a 14-week civil war in which as many as 500,000 people were killed -most in massacres of and Hutu moderates.

Bosnian Serbs rebuff urgent U.N. peace bid SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) Bosnian Serb leaders on Saturday rebuffed a top U.N. official's plea to accept an international peace plan. Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic said after meeting with U.N. envoy Thorvald Stoltenberg that maps calling for Bosnian Serbs to settle for 49 percent of the republic "cannot be accepted." Bosnian Serbs currently hold 70 percent of Bosnia.

aGRANC headquarters Stoltenberg in met Pale with on Bosnian Saturday Serb after leaders holding at talks their Friday in the capital of Serb-dominated Yugoslavia with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. Officials at U.N. headquarters in New York characterized Stoltenberg's trip as an urgent mission to persuade Bosnian Serbs to accept an international peace plan they repeatedly have rejected. Milosevic, widely regarded as the instigator of the Bosnian war, is trying to force Bosnian Serbs to agree to a peace plan, hoping his efforts will have international sanctions against Yugoslavia lifted. Doubts grow about Palestinian police GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) A jeep screeched to a halt outside Anis Saker's house just before midnight and six plainclothesmen hustled away two of his adult sons.

That was May 28, days after Palestinian security forces took control of the Gaza Strip. Saker, a 65-year-old ice cream vendor, has not seen his sons since. He believes Naser, 27, and Ibrahim, 26, are being held on suspicion of informing for Israel, but no one will tell him the actual charges. "There is no authority, no legal system, no court to go to," he said. "We want a just trial and we want to see them.

We are not allowed." Saker said it took the familys' lawyers a month to find out that his sons were in the former Israeli-run Gaza central prison, now the Palestinian police headquarters. When the Palestinian police arrived in the Gaza Strip under the self-rule agreement with Israel, they were given a more enthusiastic welcome than Yasser Arafat received in July.
