On his arrival in Sarajevo, Vance told feuding ethnic groups that peace “cannot be found at the end of the barrel” of a gun. In Helsinki, Finland, the Confer ence on Security and Cooperation in Europe accused Serbia and the fed eral army of inciting violence in Bosnia, and Germany threatened Serbia with “serious steps” if it does not halt the bloodshed. Germany’s Foreign Ministry ex pressed support for a U.S.-backed proposal to suspend Serbia’s mem bership in the security association if Serbia and the Scrbian^Iominatcd army do not follow recommendations of the United Nations, the European Com munity and the CSCE itself aimed at ending the violence. Several hundred people have died in Bosnia since Muslims and Croats voted for independence on Feb. 29. They have clashed with Serbs, who oppose Bosnia’s statehood. The battles escalated after the United Stales and the European Community recognized Bosnian in dependence last week, with the fed eral army increasingly supporting armed Serb irregulars. After talks with Vance, Gen. Mi lutin Kukanjac, commander of fed eral troops in Bosnia, denied his army was the aggressor. Bosnia’s Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, described his talks with Vance in Sarajevo as “very, very successful.” “We found Mr. Vance absolutely impartial and we agreed that the first task is to draw a map” on ethnic _ boundaries, he said. FDA limits use of implants | WASHINGTON (AP) — Many women who want to enlarge their breasts with silicone gel implants won’t be able to get them, under a govem ment policy announced Thursday that will allow implants for women with breast cancer. The Food and Drug Administra tion’s new policy will allow use of the implants only through controlled clini cal studies designed to answer safety questions, including the health ef fects of implant leakage and rupture. “The central aim of FDA’s deci sion is to significantly limit the use of silicone gel breast implants while vigorously pursuing the necessary research about their safety,” FDA Commissioner David Kessler told reporters. He said he was “highly conscious” that some women who have lost a breast to cancer or traumatic injury or who have a breast deformity need implants. “This policy is meant to be compassionate toward these patients,” he said. Kessler cautioned, “No one should think we’re resuming business as If usual.” Up Kessler’s announcement lifts a P moratorium on use of the implants in ||| effect since Jan. 6. The new policy & follows the recommendations of a IF panel of experts that concluded in |l February the implants should remain g on the market but under a number of F restrictions. ■ Dr. Norman Cole, head of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, welcomed the FDA’s decision to allow use of the implants for women with breast can cer, and deformities. He said the agency I has taken steps to minimize potential j impact on iasurance coverage for breast ; reconstruction. p “This is the first sign that science, F logic and compassion arc being re- ■ turned to the review process for these fi devices,” he said. He said that by restricting use of | the implarits for women who want P them for cosmetic reasons, “the gov- I emment has placed itself in the role l of judging the morality of a woman’s . reasons for choosing breast implants.” P Continuance granted j for NU player’s trial From Staff Reports University of Ncbraska-Lincoln student Lance Gray was granted a continuance Thursday for his trial in connection with a fight Feb. 21. Gray’s attorney, Hal Anderson, appeared before Judge James L. Fos ter in District Court 13 and requested that Gray’s trial be delayed. The trial was rescheduled for May 20 at 2 p.m. Gray, 21, of Oswego N.Y., pleaded innocent March 11 to charges of as sault and trespassing. Gray and six other UNL students were issued a total of 12 citations stemming from a * fight at a house party between mem- | bers of the university’s football and £ baseball teams. Six members of the baseball team were injured and some were hospital ized.
