Experts disagree on cause of trash imports
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Experts agree that Pennsylvania imports
more trash than any other state in the nation. They just don't agree on
the reasons.
The garbage industry says it's just a matter of changing economics:
Some day, Pennsylvania might become a net garbage exporter. But
critics of the industry say Pennsylvania has weaker environmental
laws than its neighbors, making the state a dumping ground that won't
improve until lawmakers tighten regulations.
"Garbage is everybody's problem and it moves in interstate com
merce in different directions at different times," said Allen Blakey, a
spokesman for the National Solid Wastes Management Association, an
industry group based in Washington, D.C.
In 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that trash going over state
lines is interstate commerce and can therefore only be regulated by
Congress. The decision came from an attempt by New Jersey to keep
Philadelphia's garbage out of their state.
"How fortunate for New Jersey that they lost," Blakey said, because
today, New Jersey sends a lot of its garbage into Pennsylvania.
Santorum to propose Social Security legislation
PHILADELPHIA (AP) U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said yesterday he
will introduce legislation to allow workers to take a percentage of the
money they pay in Social Security taxes and invest it in the stock mar
ket.
Santorum, R-Pa., said he's working on a bill with several Democrats,
whom he did not name, to prevent the Social Security system from
going bankrupt through the creation of personal retirement accounts,
which would take advantage of the effects of compounding and thus
reduce the amount of money the system would have to pay to future
retirees.
Santorum told a gathering of financial consultants yesterday that
Social Security is "probably the most important issue" Congress will
• face next year. He said he will introduce his bill late this year or early
next year.
The program would be modeled after the Federal Thrift Savings
Plan, the retirement plan offered to federal employees. Workers would
:choose how their money is to be invested in stock or bond funds or
some other investment vehicle and their assets would be managed
by a government-approved professional money manager. Retirees or
:people nearing retirement age would be permitted to stay in the cur
rent system.
Two Navy planes collide on aircraft carrier
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) A Navy plane conducting night landing exer
cises collided with another plane Sunday night on the flight deck of the
'USS Enterprise. The Navy recovered one body, rescued two fliers and
continued searching for three crew members.
The collision set off a small fire on the deck, but it was quickly con
tained, said Capt. Joe Gradisher, a Navy spokesman for the Atlantic
Fleet air force. Both air crews ejected.
The two planes involved were an EA6B Prowler and an S-3 Viking.
:The Prowler had a crew of four, and the Viking had a crew of two,
Gr4isher said.
• "From all indications, they collided somehow or other on deck," said
Mike Maus, another Navy spokesman. "We don't know exactly how."
He said a search continued through the night in the Atlantic for the
three missing crew members.
The Prowler was returning to the Enterprise for a night landing and
the Viking was sitting on the flight deck when the planes collided,
Gradisher said.
The two survivors were the crew members of the Viking, Gradisher
said. He did not know if they were found in the water or landed on the
ship.
The body was one of the crew members of the Prowler. Gradisher
said all four Prowler crew members were believed to have landed in
the water.
Zookeeper hospitalized after attack by elephant
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) An elephant bludgeoned a zookeeper with
its trunk, breaking the woman's ribs.
Leslie Mackie, 28, was in fair condition yesterday.
She was bathing four elephants at the Indianapolis Zoo on Sunday
when Cita, a 29-year-old female that has been aggressive toward other
elephants, raised her head in a threatening manner toward another of
the animals.
When Mackie told Cita, "No," the animal turned and struck the
woman several times with her trunk, zoo spokeswoman Judith Gagen
said.
Mackie lost consciousness briefly, and when she came to she called
for help to other keepers.
U.S. envoy views bodies of two Serb policemen
MALISEVO, Yugoslavia (AP) A visiting U.S. war crimes envoy
saw first-hand evidence yesterday of the ongoing violence in Kosovo
the bodies of two Serb policemen who were apparently executed.
David Scheffer, the roving U.S. ambassador on war crimes issues,
viewed the corpses in the devastated central village of Malisevo as he
toured Kosovo with the Kosovo Diplomatic Observer Mission (KDOM).
"This represents one of the problems that is being experienced here
with the cease-fire, and that is that there are violations of the cease
fire by both sides," Scheffer said, adding that there is evidence of "war
crimes."
The policemen disappeared Friday, the same day that Serb police
shot to death five ethnic Albanian guerrillas, including a commander
of two divisions. Both of the slain policemen had gunshot wounds to
the head, indicating they had been killed execution-style. U.S.
observers found the bodies yesterday, Serb media said.
It was unclear if their deaths were intended as retribution for the
killing of the five Kosovo Liberation Army members. The rebels say
police ambushed the five as they drove in two vehicles from Opterusa
village, while police claim the guerrillas fired first on a police patrol.
Israel to delay withdrawal despite U.S. pressure
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israel likely will miss the new Mideast
peace accord's Nov. 16 date for beginning a phased withdrawal of its
soldiers from 13 percent of the West Bank, a key adviser to the prime
minister said yesterday.
The peace accord was to have taken effect Nov. 2 and be implement
ed over 12 weeks. It has been held up by Israel, which seeks to clarify
the Palestinians' obligations. After a suicide-bombing in Jerusalem on
Friday, Israel's Cabinet suspended debate on the deal until the Pales
tinians do more to fight Islamic militants.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's senior adviser, David Bar-
Illan, said yesterday that Israel likely will not begin withdrawing from
the West Bank on schedule.
"We would like to proceed with the agreement as soon as we have
assurances that the spate of terrorist bombings have been taken care
of by systematic comprehensive action by the Palestinians,"
Netanyahu said.
