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.

proposed lowering the voting age,
increasing the public role in electing
legislators and other changes in
order to give Hong Kong residents
more say in their government
before coming under communist
rule.
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.

Black hiring in L.A.
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.

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
