NATION/WORLD DIGEST

North Korea Severs All Ties With South KoreaSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Relations on the divided Korean

peninsula plunged to their lowest point in a decade Tuesday whenthe North declared it was cutting all ties to Seoul as punishmentfor blaming the communists for the sinking of a South Korean war-ship.

The announcement came a day after South Korea took stepsthat were seen as among the strongest it could take short of mili-tary action. Seoul said it would slash trade with the North anddeny permission to its cargo ships to pass through South Koreanwaters. It also resumed a propaganda offensive — including blar-ing Western music into the North and dropping leaflets by balloon.

North Korea said it was cutting all ties with the South untilPresident Lee Myung-bak leaves office in early 2013, the officialKorean Central News Agency said in a dispatch monitored in Seoullate Tuesday.

The North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said itwould expel all South Korean government officials working at ajoint industrial park in the northern border town of Kaesong, andSouth Korean ships and airliners would be banned from passingthrough its territory.

The North’s committee said it would start “all-out counterat-tacks” against the South’s psychological warfare, and called itsmoves “the first phase” of punitive measures against Seoul, sug-gesting more action could follow.

Stocks Plunge Early, Then Bounce BackNEW YORK (AP) — A rally pushed the Dow Jones industrials

back over 10,000 after the stock market sank to its lowest level ofthe year Tuesday. The late-day rebound did nothing to erase lin-gering worries about Europe’s debt crisis.

The Dow plunged more than 250 points after the opening belland stayed under 10,000 most of the day, then charged back to fin-ish down only 22 when signals from Washington suggested bankswould not be forced to sell their lucrative derivatives units as partof financial reform. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index even manageda slight gain.

But investors are still concerned about European debt, and that’slikely to mean more turbulent days like Tuesday. The market wor-ries that even austerity measures by governments there will not beenough to fix the problem and fight off a prolonged economic slumpin Europe, or even another global recession.

“It seems like the Europeans are playing ’tag, you’re it’ — first itwas Greece, and now it’s maybe Spain or Portugal,” said JonathanCorpina, a New York Stock Exchange floor trader and president ofMeridian Equity Partners.

“We know someone else is next. The problem is that it seems likeevery plan in place isn’t going to satisfy the needs,” he said.

IMMIGRATION

Obama To Send Troops To BorderBY ERICA WERNER AND JACQUES BILLEAUD

Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Under pressure to takeaction, President Barack Obama on Tuesdayordered 1,200 National Guard troops to boostsecurity along the U.S.-Mexico border, pre-empting Republican efforts to force a congres-sional vote to send the troops.

Obama will also request $500 million forborder protection and law enforcement activi-ties, according to lawmakers and administra-tion officials.

The president's action comes as chances forcomprehensive immigration reform, Obama'slong-stated goal, look increasingly dim in thiselection year. Obama has been all but com-pelled to do something since Arizona's passageof a tough illegal-immigration law thrust theborder problem into the public spotlight.

Indeed, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer creditedher signing of the controversial new law forcompelling Obama to act. Signing the law,Brewer said in a statement, "clearly ignited thetalk of action in Washington for the people of

Arizona and other border states."The National Guard troops will work on

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissancesupport, analysis and training, and supportefforts to block drug trafficking. They will tem-porarily supplement Border Patrol agents untilCustoms and Border Protection can recruit andtrain additional officers and agents to serve onthe border, according to a letter Tuesday fromtop administration security officials to SenateArmed Services Committee Chairman CarlLevin, D-Mich.

In 2006, President George W. Bush sentthousands of troops to the border to performsupport duties that tie up immigration agents.But that program has since ended, and politi-cians in border states have called for troops tobe sent to curb human and drug smuggling andto deal with Mexico's drug violence that hasbeen spilling over into the United States.

The White House released the letter signedby national security adviser James Jones andWhite House counterterror chief John Brennannot long after Obama met at the Capitol withRepublican senators who pressed him on

immigration issues, including the question ofsending troops to the border.

Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kylhave been urging such a move, andRepublicans planned to try to require it as anamendment to a pending war spending bill.

In a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor,McCain said the situation on the U.S.-Mexicoborder has "greatly deteriorated." He calledfor 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent,and he asked for $250 million more to pay forthem.

"I appreciate the additional 1,200 beingsent ... as well as an additional $500 million,but it's simply not enough," McCain said.

McCain's amendment would direct thedefense secretary to deploy the NationalGuard troops. The letter from Jones andBrennan took scathing aim at that approach.

A military official said Tuesday that detailswere still being worked out on the troops'orders and destinations, adding that the tim-ing of their deployment was not yet clear. Alsoundetermined was which units from whichstates would deploy.

Critics Say 12,000 Members Of National Guard Not Enough For Security

Government: 89 Deaths Tied To Toyota AccelerationWASHINGTON (AP) —

Unintended acceleration in Toyotavehicles may have been involvedin the deaths of 89 people over thepast decade, upgrading the num-ber of deaths possibly linked tothe massive recalls, the govern-ment said Tuesday.

The National Highway TrafficSafety Administration said thatfrom 2000 to mid-May, it hadreceived more than 6,200 com-plaints involving sudden accelera-tion in Toyota vehicles. Thereports include 89 deaths and 57injuries over the same period.Previously, 52 deaths had been

suspected of being connected tothe problem.

Toyota Motor Corp. hasrecalled more than 8 million vehi-cles worldwide since last fallbecause of problems with gas ped-als, floor mats and brakes. TheJapanese automaker paid a record$16.4 million fine for its slowresponse to an accelerator pedalrecall and is facing hundreds ofstate and federal lawsuits.

Toyota said in a statement thatit “sympathizes with the individu-als and families involved in anyaccident involving our vehicles.We are making an all-out effort to

ensure our vehicles are safe andwe remain committed to investi-gating reported incidents of unin-tended acceleration in our vehiclesquickly.”

The automaker said “manycomplaints in the NHTSA data-base, for any manufacturer, lacksufficient detail that could helpidentify the cause of an accident.We will continue to work in closepartnership with law enforcementagencies and federal regulatorswith jurisdiction over accidentscenes whenever requested.”

In the aftermath of the recalls,Congress is considering upgrading

auto safety laws to stiffen poten-tial penalties against automakers,give the government more powersto demand a recall and push carcompanies to meet new safetystandards.

Toyota’s U.S. sales chief, JimLentz, told Congress last weekthat dealers have fixed nearly 3.5million vehicles under the recalland the company and its dealershave conducted 2,000 inspectionsof vehicles. Lentz said there wasno evidence that electronics are toblame for the sudden accelerationreports.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A luke-warm endorsement from DefenseSecretary Robert Gates andopposition among some lawmak-ers cast doubt Tuesday onwhether Congress this weekwould lift a 17-year-old ban ongays serving openly in the mili-tary.

Gay rights’ groups predictedthat the bill might pass theHouse but face a tough road inthe Senate.

“The door isn’t closed, but it’sbarely cracked,” said AubreySarvis, executive director ofServicemembers Legal DefenseNetwork Executive Director.

A compromise was struck onMonday by the White House anda small group of Democrats whofear that repeal efforts will bedoomed if Republicans regaincontrol of one or both houses ofCongress after fall elections.

The plan would overturn the“don’t ask, don’t tell” law butstill allow the military to decidewhen and how to implement anychanges to accommodate thenew policy.

Gates has said that he sup-ports repeal but would preferthat Congress wait to vote untilhe can talk to the troops andchart a path forward. A studyordered by Gates is due on Dec.1.

Some lawmakers took a simi-lar stand. “I see no reason for thepolitical process to pre-empt it,”Sen. Jim Webb, a conservativeDemocrat from Virginia, said ofthe military study.

On Tuesday, Gates said hewould support the White Housecompromise but wished it didn’thave to happen now.

President Barack Obama hasvowed to help repeal the 1993law, which prohibits the militaryfrom asking service memberswhether they are gay, bans homo-sexual activity and requires thatgay troops not discuss their sexu-al orientation.

Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen,chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, say they agree that the banshould be lifted but want time tocomplete a wide-ranging study onhow to do so without causing tur-moil.

With the political clock ticking,several lawmakers were planningthis week to push for an immedi-ate suspension on military firingsrelated to sexual orientation.

In a deal brokered by theWhite House on Monday, Sens.Carl Levin, D-Mich., and JoeLieberman, I-Conn., and Rep.Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., announcedthey would introduce repeal legis-lation that would require militaryapproval before it would takeeffect.

“They say they favor repeal,”Levin said of the administrationon Tuesday. “There’s no reasonwhy (Congress) should not havethat same kind of expression.”
