Dole plans for finale tour
Campaign will ‘rock around the clock* for victory
MIAMI (AP)—Pledgingto “shake
up this race,” Bob Dole said Thursday
he would battle to the finish in a 96
hour, nonstop tour of the nation. He
compared the drive to his wartime
fighting in Europe.
“The last time I fought ‘round the
clock for my country was in 1945 in
Italy,” Dole said. “Beginning at noon
tomorrow, I will once again fight
‘round the clock for America’s future.”
“The stakes are that high,” he told
a Miami rally.
“We’re going to roll through the
night and we’re going to rock around
the clock,” said Dole campaign spokes
man Nelson Warfield, promising sane
middle-of-the night campaign events.
The Dole campaign said he would
travel by bus, plane and other trans
portation in the campaign finale.
The sprint was reminiscent of Presi
dent Clinton’s own 30-hour, 10-city
trip at the end of the 1992 campaign.
“In the home stretch of this cam
paign, I intend to take my message to
Americans nonstop,” Dole said. “lam
determinecfto make every hour of this
decisive election count.
“From the factories of Michigan
through the bluegrass of Kentucky, in
the towns and neighborhoods of the
Midwest, across the Rocky Mountains,
through the cities and streets of Cali
fornia, I will give it all I’ve got,” he
said.
“Ninety-six hours.”
Earlier today, in Tampa, Dole sug
gested Clinton may have committal
illegal acts in the White House and
wasn’t telling the truth on Medicare or
any other issue. “How low will this
White House go?” he asked.
Dole appealed to the area’s big eld
erly population not to believe ^bar
rage of Democratic ads claiming that
Dole and other Republicans intend to
slash Medicare spending.
“I call it irresponsible. The White
House shouldn’t be in the business of
distorting the truth and scaring se
niors,” Dole said, speaking at the or
nate Tampa Theatre. , J . -

Clinton campaign sticks
to safe, routine themes
i
The president visits
Arizona and Nevada
as Election Day nears.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)—Publicly
ignoring the controversy over his
party’s money-raising tactics, Presi
dent Ginton Thursday stuck to the
safe campaign themes his strategists
believe have brought him to the
brink of re-election.
.'k .. ' .
“There’s that great big future out
there,” Clinton told a rally in bright
sunshine outside the Grady
Gammage Auditorium of Arizona
State. University campus. “We’re
going forward to the 21st century
as one community.”
* \X
Clinton, in his third visit to Ari
zona in this campaign, pressed his
familiar argument that his
administration’s policies are mak
ing progress in fighting crime and
drug abuse, as well as helping par
ents succeed both at work and at
hone.
“We can make our streets safer
for our Children and their future if •»
we all work together,” he said, add- .
ing that if re-elected he would push
for more generous tax breaks for
families facing the burden of col
lege tuition for their children.
Addressing a rally at the Na
tional Western Events Center in
Denver, Clinton said that unlike
many other countries the United
States has made its racial and reli
gious diversity a strength rather than
a source of conflict and division.
“It’s good, and I want more of
it,” he said, adding that his
administration’s goal was to “build
an American community where ev
erybody has a seat at the table and
a role to play.” This is the type of
rhetoric that Clinton has made the
centerpiece of his stump speeches
in these final days of the campaign.
His Denver speech was inter
rupted by a small group of hecklers
in the crowd who waved Dole
Kemp banners and shouted. Clinton
seemed ready for them;
“The only reason they’re
screaming is the truth hurts,” he said . ;
to wild cheers. j
Earlier in a speech at Eastern
Michigan University in Ypsilanti,
Clinton promised an extension of a |
Small Business Administration pro
gram designed to help female en
trepreneurs. j
In Denver on Wednesday night,
Clinton sounded the familiar thane
of strengthening the “American
codurtunity” through greater racial
and religious tolerance.
Refugees flee for safety
after food supply cut
GOMA, Zaire (AP)—Warfare and
looting choked off the food supply for
700,000 refugees Thursday, sending
tens of thousands streaming south in a
desperate search for food and safety.
Aid agencies halted food distribu
tion in the Gama area—which now
includes the world’s largest refugee
camp—because of looting by Zairian
troops and said they would have to
evacuate foreign workers.
Gars packed with people and their
salvaged household goods sped south,
and streams of others trudged by on

foot, carrying reed mats and food sacks
on their heads and babies on their
backs.
Artillery duels raged all morning
around Goma’s airport — the only
route for food supplies to the 700,000
Rwandan Hutu refugees living in
sprawling camps near the shores of
Lake Kivu.
But even that lifeline was cut Thurs
day —the airport remained ip Zairian
hands but was closed by fighting. Road
routes from Rwanda, Burundi and
Uganda into Zaire have already been :,
shut. * .
After capturing the provincial capi
tal of Bukavu on Wednesday, the
Tlitsis, who are fighting to repel Zairian
army attacks and to push the Rwandan j
Hutu refugees further into Zaire, closed
in on Goma, 60 miles north of Bukavu.
Reports of a two-pronged Tutsi at
tack on Zairian positions north of |
Goma sent more than 110,000
Rwandan refugees from the Kahindo;
refugee camp and 20,000 local resi-l
doits fleeing along dirt paths toward ;
Goma’s Mugunga camp.
