Muslim offensive captures Croat camp
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegov-
ina — Government forces claimed
they captured a Croat military
camp and seized prisoners
Wednesday in an offensive that
also gave them control of an im
portant hydroelectric dam.
The success was offset by a
combined Serb-Croat attack north
west of Sarajevo.
Government radio said the
Muslim-led government army
took many prisoners while captur
ing the Croats' camp north of
Mostar. Government forces also
said they took control of a hydro
electric dam in Mostar, located 50
miles southwest of Sarajevo.
There was no way to immedi
ately verify the report and no de
tails were available.
Bosnian Croat spokesman Veso
Vegar acknowledged his side had
been forced to cede a northern
part of Mostar. More than five
Croats died and about a dozen
were wounded in the fighting, he
said.
In Novi Seher, a Muslim-domi
nated town about 40 miles north
west of the capital, Serb artillery
provided cover for Croatian in
fantry attacks, government radio
reported.
"The wounded ... are dying in
the arms of doctors, who are not
able to help them," said the
broadcast.
Refugees were reportedly
streaming south from the town.
U.N. observers were unable to
reach the area, said a U.N.
spokesman in Sarajevo, Maj. Jose
Gallegos.
Bosnian Croats and govern
ment troops jointly fought Serbs
at the outset of the 16-month-old
war that broke out over Bosnia's
independence from Yugoslavia.
The Croat-Muslim alliance be
gan to buckle several months ago
as the two sides started clashing
over contested land. Serbs and
Croats announced a plan earlier
this month to partition Bosnia
along ethnic lines and claim the
lion's share.
President Alija Izetbegovic has
rejected the plan, which would
leave Muslims with the least land
even though they are the majority
of the population.
Some government officials say
the Serbs and Croats are cooperat
ing on the battlefield to pressure
them into accepting the plan.
Serbs and Croats surrounding
Sarajevo, and other areas under
government control are also chok
ing off aid and preventing restora
tion of utilities to besieged areas
to get the government to accept
the plan.
"It is one way of pressuring
us," Kemal Muftic, spokesman for
Bosnian President Alija Izetbegov
ic, told The Associated Press.
The Bosnian Croats are not per
mitting passage of more than 800
tons of aid from a U.N warehouse
in Croatia to Sarajevo and other
cities and towns. The Bosnian
Serbs are blocking a convoy from
reaching the eastern Muslim en
clave of Gorazde.
The airlift of aid continues into
Sarajevo, but it's barely enough.

Fall television shows to carry content warning
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Starting this fall, shows
on the four major television networks will car
ry parental warnings about violent content,
but don't look for programs like "L.A. Law,"
"Cops" or "America's Most Wanted" to be
among them.
Some people may consider them violent,
but executives for ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox
series is brutal enough to regularly qualify for
the voluntary advisories.
ABC's new police drama, "N.Y.P.D. Blue”
will carry a warning each week, said Tom
Murphy, chairman of Capital Cities-ABC. It's
the only regular series on any network that
will routinely be labeled for violence, the exec
utives said at a news conference.
CBS has a new show, "Chuck Norris, Texas
Ranger," noted Howard Stringer, president of
CBS Broadcast Group. "The Europeans are ter
rified we might take the karate out of it. I don't
think we'll go that far. But we will look at it
and we will make our individual judgments
on that program."
The Big Four can take the lead with these
sell shows to cable or independent stations,
said the network executives, including Warren
Littlefield, president of NBC Entertainment
and George Vradenburg, executive vice presi
dent of Fox Television.
Ted Turner already has said he'd put advi
sories on his cable networks, noted Sen. Paul
Simon, D-Ilk, who appeared the executives's
session with reporters.
Viewers likely will see the advisories most
often on televised movies.
Besides starting a show with the advisory,
they'll re-broadcast it during station breaks,
and give newspapers and magazines advance
notice of which programs have violent content
for TV listings.
deal with the problem of violence in society in
the storylines of their regular series, just as
they have with drug and alcohol abuse, depic
tion of minorities and seat belt use.
Dramatized violence is the biggest chal
lenge so far, said Jack Valenti, president of the
Motion Picture Association of America.
Ban on federal aid for poor
women's abortions stands
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House voted to retain the government's 16-
year ban on federal money for poor women's abortions Wednesday,
giving abortion foes a victory in Congress' first big test vote of the year.
Lawmakers trying to repeal the ban said that it discriminated against
poor people and that it was time to overturn regressive Republican
policies; abortion foes cast that position as on the "radical fringes."
House members approved, 255-178, an amendment by Rep. Henry
Hyde, R-Ill., to ban all federal funds for abortion except to save the life
of a mother or in cases of rape or incest.
The size of the margin was a blow to the hopes of abortion-rights ad
vocates for future battles. Still to come: congressional debate on the
Freedom of Choice Act, which would limit restrictions states can im
pose, and a decision on whether abortion should be covered in the ad
ministration's health care package of benefits.
With 114 newcomers in the House this year, both sides eyed the fed-
eral-funding vote as a barometer.
Abortion rights advocates in the House are counting on the Senate to
soften the ban, perhaps adding an exception when the "health of the
woman" is at stake.
are hitchhikers, and said this
could explain their northern
progress. It is common for these
bees to gather under eighteen-
wheelers, inside of trains, or un
der camping trailers.
Cole said spring is the bee's
most active season.
Jackson said temperature and
season have nothing to do with
the probability of a bee attack.
He said that these bees will at
tack if provoked, no matter what
the elements.
"You can't stop Mother Na
ture, but there are trap lines set
up in the Texas area to catch the
hot spots," Jackson said.
As far as these bees being killer
bees, Jackson said, "There is no
such thing."

Bees
Continued from Page 1
"Africanized bees don't at
tack," Cole said. "They are, how
ever, defensive in protecting their
honey and baby bees."
Jackson agreed these bees are
not harmful unless they are pro
voked.
"People need to learn not to
disturb the brute nest," Jackson
said. "If you disrupt their
colony, they will defend their
hives and their babies. The best
thing to do if you see a colony of
bees, is to have an exterminator
remove them."
Jackson said Africanized bees
