SCHAFER AP Military Writer ForLOS ANGELES (AP) mer police Mark Detective Fuhrman, who testified at O.J. SJmpson's murder trial that he had not used a particular racial slur in recent years, will be charged with perjury, according to broadcast and published reports. The state attorney general will charge Fuhrman with perjury today for allegedly lying last year on the witness stand about not using the racial epithet in the past decade, KCAL-Treported Tuesday and the Los Angeles Times reported today. . Fuhrman is expected to appear in a downtown court as early as today to enter a plea, unidentified law enforcement sources told the station and the newspaper. A perjury conviction carries up to four years in prison. 's Attorney General Dan spokesman refused to confirm or deny the reports Tuesday night. WASHINGTON A force of 5,000 Army troops soon will be heading to Bosnia, where they w ill stay for six months to protect the 15,000 U.S. troops scheduled to withdraw from that country shortly after Christmas. The new troops, from the 1st Infantry Division based in Germany, are expected to follow the path their fellow soldiers took when they went to the region late last year. Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said Tuesday he expected the movement to begin "in the next couple days" and that the new war-ravag- force will remain in Bosnia for six months. Bacon's announcement marked the first time the Pentagon has given such a long-tercommitment to the new U.S. force. He insisted the new infusion of troops w ill not become part of the NATO-le- d peacekeeping mission that is due to end Dec. 20, and took issue with the suggestion the new miliforce could evolve into a "follow-on- "' tary force. Bacon said the mission of the "covering force" w ill last "for a defined period of time, which will get it out by March." The troops are expected to travel mostly by train, following a route through Hungary, and then into Bosnia. "They will roll up to the positions taken then one by Task Force Eagle, unit will replace the other," said a military officer familiar with such maneuvers. "While the other soldiers pack up, debrief and head out of there, they will cover for them." Earlier in the day, the diplomat who brokered the Dayton peace accords that ended the former Yugoslavia's four-yecivil war told lawmakers that a total pullout of U.S. and allied troops from Bosnia would risk an "implosion" and possible resumption of war. Richard Holbrooke, now retired from government and working on Wall Street, went further than Clinton administration side-by-sid- e, m ar officials on the politically sensitive issue of a continued U.S. troop presence in Bosnia. "No responsible person can contemplate going from 60,000 troops down to zero, Holbrooke told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "It would risk an implosion. ... The war could even resume." Holbrooke continues to serve the Clinton administration in Bosnia on an ad hoc basis, most recently as an observer to the presidential elections there. "Some form of residual security presence is necessary," he said. With continued U.S. participation in the peace process, a resumption of war would be "very unlikely," he said.

"Now, we're going to try to directly address voters on issues By KATIE FAIRBANK Associated Press Writer NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski has been indicted in the 1994 mail bombing that killed an ad executive, giving federal prosecutors a second case in which to seek the death penalty. Kaczynski, the Berkeley math professor turned recluse, was charged with transporting a bomb from Montana to San Francisco and then mailing it to Thomas J. Mosser's home in North Caldwell. When Mosser opened the package, it exploded and killed him. Mosser, 50, was executive vice president of Young & Rubicam high-profi- -- Atr fry Inc. With Tuesday's indictment, Kaczynski has now been charged in all tluee deaths attributed to the Unabomber and with eight bombings in six states that left 23 injured over 1 8 years. The New Jersey bombing was the only one for which the Unabomber claimed publicly responsibility. In a letter published in The New York Times, he claimed that Mosser, in his former job as an executive with the public relations r, firm "helped Exxon clean up its public image" after the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. Burson-Marstellhas denied working on the spill for Exxon. Kaczynski, 54, is charged in California with four bombings that killed a computer store owner and a timber industry lobbyist, and maimed two professors. In June, he pleaded innocent to a indictment charging him with the bombings. The Justice Department said it will prosecute the New Jersey case after Kaczynski is tried in Sacramento, Calif. Federal prosecutors in Sacramento and Newark have not said whether they will in fact seek the death penalty. Kaczynski's public defender, Quin Denvir, said he may seek to consolidate all the charges.

(AP) federal judge denied bail today for a civilian employee of the naval intelligence services charged with providing classified information to South Korean officials. In ordering computer analyst Robert Kim held until trial. U.S. District Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkma overruled a magistrate's order setting bond for him. "At this point the evidence appears to be overwhelming," Judge Brinkma said. Brinkma said that when South Korean-bor- n Kim took his oath of U.S. citizenship, "That put an obligation on Mr. Kim's part that this evidence suggests he has broken." She told lawyers she fears Kim might flee the country if he were released. He no longer has a job, is heavily in debt and has close ties to South Korea, she said. Judge Brinkma noted that Kim's friends and neighbors offered to put their houses up to make bail for him and said she does not want to be in the awkward position of having to penalize citizens by taking their property if Kim fled the counhard-worki- try. The decision came in a govern ment appeal of the magistrate's bond of $200,000 bond and an offer of more than $500,000 worth of property put up by his friends. In a transcript of a conversation between Kim and South Korean officials, released by prosecutors in court papers Tuesday, Kim offered io give classified information to South Korea and asked the officials to help him get a job. Prosecutor Robert Chesnut said while Kim currently is charged only with passing secret documents, the government will present evidence to a grand jury expanding the charges to documents relating to national defense. Current charges carry a poten tial penalty of years. Chesnu said file additional charges could send Kim to jail for life if he were convicted. Chesnut said the reason thdj more extensive charges have nol been placed is that the govemmeni does not yet want to disclose con-- l tents of the documents in court More than 40 documents werdj intercepted in the mail, Chesnu? said, adding: "There's no way tcj tell what he passed before. 7-- 27-pa- s0 gW Save from 20 The Measure of Our Hearts.
