2 Serbs drop bombs SARAJEVO, BosniaHerzegovina ? Serb planes dropped cluster and napalm bombs on three towns in north-central Bosnia, Sarajevo radio reported today. The attack, which followed the ncinMirp nf a ctrcitpcrir tnwn in VUJ'lU1 ~ ^ VX VV " W ... northern Bosnia, appeared to indicate the Serb fighters want to gain more territory before being forced to dig in for winter. The radio said 11 planes took part in the attacks Wednesday on Maglaj, Tesanj and Teslic, about 90 miles north of Sarajevo. It said the planes dropped cluster and napalm bombs and fired rockets at the towns. The report could not be confirmed independently. The radio said 12 people were killed and 50 wounded in Maglaj, which it said was still being shelled today. Serbs scored a major victory late Tuesday in overrunning Bosanski Brod, a city on the Croatian border that was the last major northern stronghold of government forces. China disturbed BEIJING ? The Chinese government said Thursday it is deeply disturbed by Hong Kong Gov. Chris Patten's proposal to make the British colony more democratic before handing it back to China in 1997. The Chinese response indicated a heating up in the war of words and wills that has raged since the bluntspeaking Patten took office in July.

It was not clear whether Patten would go ahead without Chinese agreement. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wu Jianmin said today the proposed changes were obviously "inconsistent with the provisions and SDirit of the Sino-British Joint Declaration," under which Britain agreed to return the tiny enclave it seized 150 years ago from a crumbling Chinese empire. Reactor to operate WATERFORD, Conn. ? Federal regulators have allowed a nuclear reactor to remain in operation despite Five control room operators who failed an annual exami nation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Wednesday that Northeast Utilities, which operates the Millstone complex, has enough control room crews that passed the exam to keep the Millstone 1 reactor going. But the agency warned it might close down the reactor if the operators who failed the mandatory requalification test fail a retest. The reactor, one of three at Millstone, lost provisional satisfactory status last month when five of 15 operators failed the NRC exam. The reactor's status was changed to unsatisfactory, for the second straight year. The other two reactors also are in operation. ident Newspaper > 1 recycled paper, g/ ir paper to the near- Ml lion.

NEW YORK ? The muchmaligned Los Angeles Police Department ranks among the nation's best in hiring blacks, while New York is last among 50 cities. Los Angeles' force is 14.1 percent black, reflecting the city's 14 percent black population. Only Honolulu and Washington ranked hiohpr in ihp enrwnx; Qam Walker, professor of criminal justice at the University of Nebraska. Los Angeles' score was a surprise, Walker said. The department came under fire after the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King by white policemen in 1991, and the city erupted in riots after the officers' acquittal. "Los Angeles has a perfect score and yet look at everything we know about L.A. and race," Walker said. mmmmm Food stamps improved COLUMBIA ? Food stamp recipients in one South Carolina county will be paying for their groceries with something similar to a credit card rather than with the familiar paper coupons. The six-month program, scheduled to begin July 1 in Darlington County, would have food stamp recipients pay with a debit card which would work much like a credit card. If the program is successful, officials hope to use it statewide within two years. The U.S. Agriculture Department says this is the first such program in the country under lot be lecock for eak.
