The meeting was piped to business groups in more than 200 sites around the nation. Clinton said U.S. efforts to win a new set of liberalized world trad ing rules—talks long under way in Geneva — could be torpedoed if the agreement to end trade barriers with Mexico and Canada is reject ed. Furthermore, he said that rejec tion of the pact — scheduled for a House vote on Nov. 17 — would send Europe and Japan swarming over the Mexican market “1 ike fl ies on a june bug.” Organized labor claims the pact will cost jobs and depress wages at home. The administration appears to be about 50 votes short of the votes needed to pass the agreement in the House. Clinton acknowledged he was in an uphill fight but predicted he -•« The idea that America is going to shrivel up if we adopt this trade agreement is ridicu lous. 4 — Clinton _mm — would win in the cnU. Critics claim that U.S. compa nies will be attracted to low wages in Mexico if the pact passes and relocate their plants there. Clinton said that companies can already do this, or move to even lower-wage countries like Haiti. w w “The idea that America is going to shrivel up if we adopt this trade agreement is ridiculous,” Clinton said, noting that the Mexican econ omy is tiny compared to that of the United States. Mexico’s gross domestic prod uct is about 4 percent to 5 percent that of the United States. There’s no lower price for a collect call For long distance calls from public phones.

Robert Dcllelo, 51, and Joseph Correia, 38, were discovered missing from the Massachusetts Correctional Institution during a noon head count, police Officer Robert Fernandes said. The pair remained at-large on Monday. Robin Bavaro, a spokeswoman for the Corrections Department, would not comment on how they escaped or when they were last seen. Selectman John J. Col ford said that “people are concerned, but (don’t think frightened.” Colford said residents are accus tomed to living near the prison com plex, which includes a mental hospi tal where suspects are evaluated if they arc competent enough to stand trial. Escapes aren’t new, either. Albert DcSalvo, the alleged Bos ton Strangler, broke out of Bridgewater State Hospital in 1967 along with two other inmates, touching off the big gest manhunt in Massachusetts histo ry. He was recaptured within days and was later found dead in prison. Dcllclo was convicted of killing a Boston police officer during a 1963 jewelry store holdup. Correia was convicted in 1976 for killing a securi ty guard during a bank robbery in Boston. More than 70 police and correc tional officers using dogs scoured the woods, where some residents had re ported seeing the men. Motorists were stopped and their trunks searched, and pol ice knocked on doors in search of the two. A whistle blew every half hour to tell residents the convicts still were at large. ‘‘This is a good night to escape,” said Derek McElroy, 18, who ges tured towards friends in Halloween disguises. “They could dress up in a costume.” Net^ra&kan Editor Jeremy Fitzpatrick 472-1766 Managing Editor Wendy Mott Assoc News Editors Angle Brunkow Kara Morrison Editorial Page Editor Kathy Steinauer Wire Editor Jett singer Copy Desk Editor Chris Hoptensperger Sports Editor Todd Cooper Arts & Entertain- Tom Mainelli ment Editor Photo Chief Shaun Sartin FAX NUMBER 472-1761 The Daily NebraskanfUSPS 144-080) is published by the UNL Publications Board, Nebraska Union 34,1400 R Si., Lincoln, NE, Monday through Fnday during the academic year; weekly during summer sessions.
