The Hamburg based Spiegel Magazine said the germans were involved when North Atlantic treaty organization surveillance aircraft were used to support the .

The opposition social democrats Are strongly opposed to deployment of Ger Man troops outside nato and say that limited use of German forces for .

Military from Page 1 they Sec it in Black and White Quot before making the change said one general speaking on condition he not be named Quot it will probably take a few Days to get the message out a the general said. In the meantime the Pentagon s current policy deeming homosexuality a incompatible with military service still stands. Clinton ordered Aspin by july 15 an executive order formally ending fhe ban on Gays in the military. The order would establish strict Stan Dards of sexual conduct for All members of the military a and it could for instance bar Gays from certain kinds of duties involving close quarters. Senior Pentagon officials welcomed the six month delay. A it was a very excellent discussion a said Gen. Colin l. Powell chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. A we believe that the six month period of time that we have been Given to work this Issue. Will give us the Lime to do this without the press of the current situation on in the meantime the Pentagon is devising an interim policy to Deal with questions raised about homosexuals. One officer speaking on condition of anonymity said a a get ready to get ready instruction had been sent to the Field to Alert units that they will have to adjust. But As with Many things in a bureaucracy As Large As the one that oversees the nation s 1,793,000 men and. Women in uniform the change May take time officers cautioned. The form that asks recruits whether they Are homosexual or bisexual is a Standard one issued by the defense department and must be changed by it. That too will take some time to Amend. One service s spokesman said its recruiters located around the country might be telephoned about the change to help Lessen confusion.
