He recalled how Williams could have sat out the final doubleheader of the 1941 season with a .3995 average that would have been rounded to .400 the record books.

Instead, Williams played both ends, went 6-for-8 and finished at .407. "That kind of courage and swagger made him one of our all-time greats," said Bush. "These genuine heroes thrilled Americans with real deeds," said the president. "Both loomed larger than life, on the baseball fields and on battlefields." Both put off their baseball careers to enter the military during wartime. "'Their service deprived them of even greater statistics, but also enhanced their greatness i in the eyes of Americans," said Bush, a rabid Red Sox fan in his Funerals The funeral of John J.

The two old ballplayers responded briefly to the accolades. Williams, 72, in light jacket and string tie, said, "I've always realized what a lucky guy I've been in my life. I was born in America and I was a Marine and served my country and I'm very, very proud of that.

"I got play baseball and had a chance to hit. I owe so very very much to this game that I love so much," said Williams. "I want to thank you, Mr. President. I think you're doing a tremendous job and I want you to know you're looking at one of the greatest supporters you'll ever have.

"Thank you, Mr. President. I'm honored," the 76-year-old DiMaggio, in a blue suit and tie, replied. During the 70-minute flight to Toronto, Williams and DiMaggio were besieged with requests for autographs and photographs from White House officials, reporters and others. They complied willingly.

Williams told reporters the 50th anniversary celebration initially "was going to be a nice quiet, easy baseball (ceremony) with a little recognition at the All-Star Game. "Then all of a sudden, the president and the White House and everybody gets into the act and it's a big deal," Williams said. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said it was a big deal. "People's whole lives are Eclipse (Continued from page 1) dents flying to Hawaii Island on a short day trip sponsored by Honolulu's Bishop Museum to see the total eclipse. "It seemed like a lot of money, but when you consider it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that Jon is interested in science, we decided we should do it," said Mrs.

Ige, an editorial assistant. "We're excited," she said. The Bishop Museum group will be among some 50,000 to 60,000 people expected to converge on Hawaii Island to watch as the moon completely blocks the sun, casting a huge shadow on the island for four minutes beginning at 7:28 a.m. The other islands will view a near total eclipse, ranging from 99 percent on the island of Maui, to 96 percent on the most populous island of Oahu, where Honolulu is located, to 91 percent on the island of Kauai. Police and emergency services officials on Hawaii Island were worried about handling the crowds, expected to boost the island population by half.

The state was putting up portable toilets alongside the heaviest used stretches of highway. Police will work 12-hour shifts. Businesses were getting ready to sell the crowds food, drinks and souvenirs. Iraq (Continued from page 1) Iraq admitted to the United Nations that it had programs designed to produce enriched uranium, which could be used as explosives in an atomic bomb. The Baghdad government asserted 1 the programs were designed for peaceful purposes and that some information was not disclosed to international inspectors because Iraq feared a U.S.

attack. spokeswoman responded. She read a prepared statement challenging Iraq's assertion that it had developed levels of uranium enrichment up to 4 percent. "Our own assessments suggest this i is not an accurate accounting of Iraq's capabilities," the U.S. official said.

Spokeswoman Tutwiler also accused Iraq of concealing from inspectors calutrons used for enrichment of uranium and essential to the development of nuclear weapons. "We are obviously not satisfied with the 29-page letter," she said. "They obviously now have admitted that they were lying and misleading." Asked how far Iraq had gone in developing atomic weapons, the U.S. official said she could provide no public assessment "because it is an intelligence matter." However, she said "it was well known" even before the Persian Gulf war that Iraq was capable of making one bomb. Ms.

Tutwiler said that appraisal was based on information Iraq had provided to the United Nations last year. Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams, meanwhile, said that Iraq was "missing pieces" of what it needed. defined by these guys," Fitzwater said. "If you wanted to get through enemy lines in World War II, you had to know Joe DiMaggio's name. If you grew up in the 60s, it was the Simon and Garfunkel song." "It's amazing," he said.

'We're talking Marilyn Monroe's husband here. This is big time stuff." Earlier at the White House, Bush had pointed out the NCAA College World Series champions, the Louisiana State University Tigers, in the Rose Garden audience. DiMaggio, who.played in 10 professional World Series, added his own congratulations, saying, "I know the feeling. I've been to one or two myself. It's nice to be here with you." Talks (Continued from page 1) or released all federal prisoners.

Slovenian Information Minister Jelko Kacin said the republic had not completely satisfied federal demands because a complex accord "cannot be carried out immediately." An Associated Press photographer in Slovenska Bistrica, about 75 miles east of Ljubljana, saw republican defense forces installing anti-tank mines Tuesday outside the army barracks. Federal soldiers inside were digging new defense trenches. The official news agency Tanjug, citing unidentified sources, said the dispute over the blockades was hampering truce talks in Brioni, on the Adriatic coast. Nonetheless, Slovenia's Parliament appeared ready to approve the agreement on Wednesday. "I think Parliament will support the declaration, but nobody's really satisfied with it.

Nobody trusts anyone in Yugoslav politics," said Janez Kopac, a Slovenian lawmaker. Slovenian Parliament speaker France Bucar, who attended Monday's peace talks, said Tuesday the European Community had forced the accord on both sides. Bush (Continued from page 1) 'And our law is clear," Bush said. "'And I plan to not seek some way out of it, but I plan to enforce it. And I'll do it very cheerfully because that is my view." Meanwhile, South Africa's ambassador to the United States, Harry Schwarz, minimized the role that the punitive sanctions have had in promoting more racial tolerance in his country.

In an interview, Schwarz said "the struggle of the oppressed" was far more decisive in dismantling apartheid than sanctions, "and I don't want to take away from them the credit" for forging a more democratic nation. Schwarz said that he welcomes the prospect of more normal U.S.-South African economic ties but that the demise of sanctions after five years will have minimal impact over the short term. He noted that it takes time for businesses to recapture lost markets. Bush, in brief comments to reporters as he left the White House for Toronto, said "the law is very clear" on specific conditions to be achieved before sanctions are lifted. Once the conditions are met, he said, "there's no choice for the president.

Sanctions will be lifted. There's no dispute, no debate, nothing." He had said previously that release of all political prisoners in South Africa was the last requirement for lifting the sanctions, consistent with the antiapartheid legislation Congress approved in 1986 over President Reagan's veto. Budget (Continued from page 1) they are more interested in embarrassing the administration than solving the budget problem. But Senate Majority Leader F. Joseph Loeper, R-Delaware, said Democrats refused to discuss several counterproposals GOP leaders have placed on the table.

To break the logjam, he said, House leaders would have to pass a revenue package. Also on Tuesday, about 200 state workers, who have rallied daily at the Capitol daily demanding paychecks, said politics should not be injected into passing a budget. The protesters, organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, marched through the statehouse, stomping, clapping, waving signs and shouting slogans criticizing lawmakers and Casey. The rally came shortly before Craig ruled..
