^Tsongas, Bush win
in New Hampshire
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Presi
dent Bush gained grudging victory
Tuesday night in the New Hampshire
presidential primary, with challenger
Patrick J. Buchanan claiming more
than 40 percent of the Republican
vote to fuel his conservative rebel
lion.
Former Sen. Paul E. Tsongas of
Massachusetts won the Five-way
Democratic race, gaming 33 percent
in partial returns and ratifying his
frontrunner status. “Washington, we
are sending you a message,” he said.
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton ran
second among the Democrats and
pronounced himself “the comeback
kid.”
Sen. Bob Kerrey had a narrow lead
over Tom Harkin of Iowa in the race
for third place. Former California Gov.
Jerry Brown was running fifth.
New Hampshire’s blighted econ
omy was the consuming issue in both
parlies’ campaigns, but even so
Buchanan’s strength was a surprise
that jolted the White House.
In a White House statement, Bush
said, “This election was far closer
than many had predicted. 1 think the
opponents on both sides reaped the
harvest of discontent with the pace of
New Hampshire’s economy.”
Celebrating his Democratic vic
tory, Tsongas said New Hampshire
made Bush president “and he forgot
the people of New Hampshire and
tonight they remembered him ...”
“The message is we arc hurling,
America is hurling,” he said.

U.S., Russian submarines collide
WASHINGTON —In a jarring
reminder that Cold War dangers
haven’t disappeared, the Navy said
Tuesday that one of its nuclear
powered attack submarines was hit
by a Russian sub last week in the
Arctic Ocean.
U.S. officials said they weren’t
sure which vessel was at fault.
Pentagon officials said the USS
Baton Rouge, a Los AngelevS-class
attack submarine whose home port
is Norfolk, Va., was on a routine
patrol in the Barents Sea at the time
of the collision, but they would not
discuss its mission or exact loca
tion.
No nuclear contamination was
reported in the area of the accident.
Adm. Frank B. Kelso II, the
Navy’s top uniformed officer as
chief of naval operations, declined
to discuss the incident. He said the
U.S. fleet would continue to oper
ale as usual in international waters.
The Defense Department said
the accident occurred Feb. 11, and
the department waited a week to
disclose it because Secretary of
Slate James A. Baker III wanted to
discuss it with Russian President
Boris Yeltsin before the announce
ment.
Bob Hall, a Pentagon spokes
man, said he believed it was the
first time the department has an
nounced a submarine collision,
although this was not the first in
volving U S. and Russian vessels.
He said the mishap was disclosed
in this case “because of the unusual
nature of this incident.”
Hall said the incident occurred
beyond the 12-mile limit of Rus
sian territorial waters recognized
by the United States, but he would
not be more specific beyond say
ing it happened in the Barents Sea.

Accused terrorists shown
TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya pro
ceed two men the United States
ccuscd of blow ing up an American
stlincr but insisted again Tuesday
hey will never be surrendered for
rial in the West.
American and Scottish authorities
avc charged Abdel Basset Ali al
degrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah
vilh planting the bomb that blew up
'an Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie,
Gotland in December 1988. The al
ack killed 270 people.
The Libyans arc described in U.S.
nd British indictments as intelligence
gents. Libya has opened its own
rivcstigation and says the men could
•c tried in Libya.
In Washington, State Department
pokesman Richard Boucher said, “We
think that a Libyan investigation or a
hearing is a travesty of justice, amounts
to nothing more than another attempt
by Libya to delay and to evade its
responsibility.”
The U.N. Security Council de
manded last week that Libya surren
der the two men. It also demanded
four other Libyans be turned over to
France to face charges in the bomb
ing of a UTA plane over Africa in
1989 that killed 170 people.
Foreign reporters were invited to
Tripoli to attend what was announced
as a public hearing Tuesday for Al
Megrahi and Fhimah. Instead, report
ers were taken to a news conference,
where the judge heading the investi
gation said there would be no public
hearing.
