In a formal statement, Kelly said they discussed "the importance of the U.N. Security Council's resolutions" on an economic embargo of Iraq because of its invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2. A Japanese Foreign Ministry official said Bush asked Prime Minister Toshiko Kaifu for more Japanese financial aid to Middle East nations affected by the crisis. Italy decided to send to frigates to to the eastern Mediterranean shifted U.S. warships Navy replace to the Persian Gulf, and for possible duty in the gulf itself. The government left a final decision on a gulf mission to a metin of NATO members in Paris next week. West Germany also might participate in the multinational naval operation in the gulf if agreement is reached in Paris, said Foreign Minister Gianni De Michelis, reporting on a telephone conversation between Premier Giulio Andreotti and Helmut Kohl, the West German chancellor.

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates stopped the Iraqi freightfrom entering the port of er Dubai today, shipping sources said. Radio monitors in the Persian Gulf overheard the calling every 10 minutes for permission to enter the harbor and load cargo for Iraq. Diplomatic sources in the Emirates said the country's ports had id quietly stopped accepting Iraqi tankers or freighters, but the government has made no announcement. Shipping sources said another Irahad been qi freighter, waiting off Dubai for two days. American soldiers arriving in Saudi Arabia have been told to ' prepare for a long stay. Bush said the Navy would halt Iraqi tankers to "stop the oil from coming out." Britain and Australia also said their vessels would help interdict Iraqi ships. The Washington Post quoted U.N. sources it did not identify as saying the Soviet Union, France, Canada and Malaysia "sharply criticized" the U.S. decision to proceed unilaterally with the naval quarantine of Iraq and Kuwait. It said the criticism came Monday at an informal, private meeting of the Security a, Council. world embargo was placed on Iraq after it invaded Kuwait and announced the annexation of its small neighbor. Iraq massed troops near Saudi Arabia, ringing alarm bells off throughout the Middle East. The Saudis have the world's largest oil reserves. Shipping executives said they were told by U.S. Navy officials that an Iraqi vessel was spotted dropping mines in the Shah Olam shoals, 80 miles northeast of the Qatar Peninsula. The channel is used by tankers heading for Saudi oil terminals. In London, Lloyd's Shipping Intelligence confirmed that the Middle East Navigation Aids Service issued a navigation warning Monday, "after the U.S. Navy observed an Iraqi freighter engaging in suspicious act south of Shah Allum shoal." A U.S. military source in Dubai said a helicopter crew spotted a merchant ship Saturday near Shah Allum, but on closer investigation found it was not laying mines.

However, two counselors who were with the girl said they were on a "forced hike" and that she had collapsed from heat exhaustion several times the day before she died "We're prepared to fight," Cartisano said Monday night. "I would dispute there was negligence, and we're prepared to prove it in court." "The. tragedy is that when we were going strong, we put over $2 million a year into Kane and Garfield counties," he said. "Now, if they are successful, not only will they lose that, it is going to cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight this because we are going to fight this like nothing before." rd two-thir- gas-stati- SALES: (Continued from Page Al) e other projects. Ron Madsen, redevelopment director at the Provo Economic Development office, said new businesses as well as an overall improvement in sales had contribut-e- a to the increased sales tax revenues. "Everyone is seeing some good improvement. We've got a growing economy here," Madsen said. "I think there are more people as well." Successful businesses tend to be one-tim- more locally-oriente- businesses d than before, helping money stay in the valley, Madsen said. "I think we're going to see some steady growth here." Haslem said if the referendum eliminating sales tax on food to appear on November's ballot was enacted by the voters, the loss of revenue could cause a shortfall in the city sales tax budget. However, that scenario is unlikely, he said. "We'll lose about $700,000 if that goes through," Haslem said. "If business activity levels off, and we've got no real growth, it's possible that initiative could produce a shortfall in that sales tax account. But I don't really think that would be the case." If the city only sees 8 percent economic growth during the current fiscal year, a shortfall would be created. "That's a fairly conservative amount. I think you're actually safe figuring 10 or 12 percent growth," Haslem said. This amount would cover the losses projected through the enactment of the tax initiative. The city will experience a full year with the tax percentage returned to it at 6364ths, while last year the city only received the higher rate during half the year. Also, inflation will cause about 5 percent growth in the economy, Haslem said. These two factors combined will create approximately 10 m."

Among those evacuated was Jeanette Carter of Colorado, who lectures in anthropology at the University of Liberia in Monrovia. "People were petrified that the government forces would start using rockets to get the rebels out of the area," she said, after being evacuated to the USS Saipan. "We were frightened of being accused of being rebel sympathizers by the government." No hometown was available for Ms. Carter. Identities of the other Americans were also unavailable.

Garfield County Sheriff Robert Judd said he has reopened an investigation into Hook's allegations in light of information developed during Kane County's investigation. Last week, Challenger filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, with Cartisano citing legal fees and bad publicity as the reasons. Challenger listed $63,040 in assets and more than $1.1 million in debts, including some $200,000 in back taxes. lor's National Patriotic Front rebels. The rebels insisted that the Marines arrive unarmed to carry out the evacuation from a beach in Buchanan. While heavily armed rebel troops patrolled the beach, the evacuees waited in a tropical storm for the helicopters to carry them to safety. The evacuees,' who included the Spanish ambassador and the papal nuncio to Liberia, were airlifted Monday morning to the Saipan, moored four miles off Buchanan. In addition to the Americans, the evacuees included at least 16 Spaniards, 15 West Germans, as well as smaller numbers of citizens of India, Lebanon, Switzerland, France, Britain, Holland and Guinea. There were also 21 Liberians, mostly dependents of U.S. citizens. "We are very happy to be here. Our trip was extremely difficult," said Manuel de Luna, the Spanish ambassador. Efforts to ferry the evacuees on by helicopter from the Saipan to Freetown, Sierra Leone, had to be abandoned because of heavy rain Monday. Zip Oaitjj Herald (l.aS.N.
