Among his own spies, President Boris Yeltsin did some houseclean-ing, firing the head of Russia's counterintelligence agency which provides the Kremlin with reports on the political situation inside the country. The abrupt removal of Nikolai Go-lushko was another sign of continued disarray in Yeltsin's camp, as well of the ongoing turmoil in Russia's internal intelligence operations. But Russia reacted swiftly on the foreign front, ordering U.S.

Embassy counselor James Morris to leave the country within seven days. The action was a reminder that the Cold War legacy of mistrust still clouds efforts to forge a new U.S.-Russian partnership. Russia's expulsion of a U.S. diplomat had been expected after Alexander Lysenko, chief of Russia's intelligence station in Washington, was ordered Friday to leave. Israel unrest JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, his government reeling from Arab rage over the mosque massacre, appealed today for Arabs to return to peace talks, but rejected PLO demands to dismantle Jewish settlements.

Two Palestinians were killed in clashes with soldiers in the occupied territories Monday, bringing the Arab death toll since Friday to 64, including the 39 killed when a Jewish gunman opened fire at worshipers in a mosque in Hebron. Israel on Sunday began cracking down on Jewish extremists and announced plans to release up to 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, but PLO chairman Yasser Arafat said those measures were not enough and demanded that all Jewish settlements in the occupied territories be eliminated. Spain hijacking MADRID, Spain (AP) Three Algerian policemen hijacked a domestic flight with 131 people aboard today and forced it to land in southern Spain.

The Air Algerie plane was en route from Oran, in western Algeria, to Annaba, near the Tunisian border, when the three forced the crew to divert the jet across the Mediterranean to the southern Spanish town of Alicante, authorities said. The Boeing 727, carrying 124 passengers and seven crew members, landed without seeking permission from air traffic controllers, and paramilitary Civil Guards surrounded it, authorities said.

The hijackers released eight women, two men and two children unharmed, then surrendered several hours later. There were no reported injuries during the hijacking. Packwood diaries WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Bob Packwood should not be allowed to keep his diaries from the Senate Ethics Committee while he appeals its subpoena, the panel's lawyers told Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist today.

"The Senate has a well-established authority to obtain evidence, with assistance of the courts, to perform its constitutional duty to discipline its members," the panel's lawyers said in court papers. Granting Packwood's emergency request to keep the diaries from the ethics panel "would compound the damage that Sen. Packwood's recalcitrance has already inflicted on the Senate's capacity to police itself," the lawyers said. Packwood asked Rehnquist on Friday to block a federal judge's ruling that ordered the diaries to be provided to the ethics committee. A federal appeals court is scheduled to hear Packwood's appeal of that order on May 12, but it refused to block the diaries from being turned over to the ethics panel in the meantime.

The senator's lawyers said the subpoena violated his right to privacy under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment as well as his Fifth Amendment protection against uiiuifijai dribbled the ball downcourt past Carson defender Annie Etchegoyhen (54) in the first half of Saturday's Nevada AAA League northern zone championships.

some areas. "It is impossible to direct an equal percentage reduction across the states if we are to maintain our commitment to readiness," Perry said. "An equal percentage cut would mean that many units would be left hollow and unable to accomplish their wartime mission." The plan to make the changes in the reserve force was announced Dec. 10. The Pentagon announcement said that while some 55,300 slots will be "inactivated," it is not exactly clear how many people will be affected by the change.

Persons in the affected slots will be "given the opportunity to join another unit within a reasonable distance of where they live." If no position is available, the individual will be discharged with appropriate benefits. If the reservist declines the new assignment, he or she will be discharged without benefits.

Bob Miller and Las Vegas Mayor Jan Laverty Jones showed up at a gay bar yesterday to voice opposition to an anti-gay petition now circulating in Nevada. The two received rousing receptions and standing ovations from a crowd of about 200 people during a one-hour rally staged at Bad Dolly's by a group fighting the petition drive.

"Today is a historic occasion," said Eddie Anderson, a radio talk show host who emceed the event "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd see a Nevada governor in a gay bar." Miller told the crowd that he recently talked with the governors of three other Western states Oregon, Washington and Idaho and they've agreed to work together to defeat similar petitions in their states. "This is an effort to divide us and we won't be divided," Miller said, speaking from the dance floor in the dimly lit bar. Without mentioning him by name, Jones criticized Lon Mabon of the Oregon Citizens Alliance, whose group drafted the Nevada petition. "This isn't an issue that has something to do with families, children and education," she said. "This is somebody coming in from the outside and (imposing) discrimination in the most blatant and hateful form." It serves "as a call to arms for people interested in preserving civil rights in Nevada," said Ron Caughron-Flannigan of Reno.

Under the restructuring plan, that will be cut to about 950,000 by 1999. The Pentagon statement said additional cuts will be announced each year until the full plan is achieved. In line with the cuts, some of the missions of the force will change.

In general, the Army National Guard will focus on preparing for a wartime combat role while the Army Reserve will handle combat support jobs. The Air National Guard will assume all continental air defense, while the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve will increase their involvement in strategic mobility and adopt bomber missions for the first time. The Naval Reserve, while smaller, will provide support to nearly all naval missions while the Marine Corps Reserve will continue its mission of Corps sustainment, the announcement said. started by the lighting of papers on the floorboard.

Pro: 1 11 in. Hater Year. 48 in. Tomorrow: Sunrise, Sunset, 5:34 WASHINGTON (AP) About 5500 slots will be cut from Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps reserve units this year in line with a post-Cold War plan to reduce and reshape those forces, the Pentagon announced Monday. The changes will hit units in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts and California the hardest, while adding to reserve units in Louisiana, Connecticut and Nevada.

Under the plan for fiscal 1994, which ends Sept. 30, New York is slated to lose 5,217 slots; Pennsylvania Illinois Massachusetts California 2,828, the announcement said. The changes will also result in some realignment of units, bringing an additional 400 slots to Louisiana, 336 slots to Connecticut and 150 to Nevada. Defense Secretary William Perry said the actions were in line with the Pentagon's "bottom-up review" of national security needs and military forces. That calls for relying more heavily on reserve units to help keep costs down and add more punch to a smaller active-duty force, which is slated to be cut to 1.4 million men and women by the end of the century.

In his statement, Perry noted that the size and percentage changes in each state are not equal, due to the need to maintain a ready force in Jess McCord dies at age 68 memorial set Jess E.

Christenson's truck, owned by North Central Trucking of Cumberland, hit the rear of one patrol car and then the rear of a second patrol car.
