By The Associated Press Edited by Kristine Long NEWS DIGEST Nelrraskan Monday, April 25,1994 Serbs follow order, retreat from Gorazde SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Hcrzegovina — U.N. troops evacuated wounded civilians and fanned out across be sieged Gorazdc to enforce a truce Sun day. The United Nations said Bosnian Serbs had met NATO’s demand to pull back from the city. NATO issued an ultimatum Friday ordering Serbs to stop their assault on Gorazdc immediately or face air at tacks. The Serbs were given unti 1 early Sunday to withdraw their forces from the town, the center of a Muslim en clave in eastern Bosnia. The top U.N. official for former Yugoslavia, Yasushi Akashi.said in a statement after the NATO deadline passed that the situation had not re quired air strikes. On Saturday, the United Nations refused a NATO re quest for authorization to bomb in response to heavy Serb shelling. Despite the reported Serb with drawal, two women were killed and 15 were wounded by Serb sniper fire Sunday, Bosnian government radio reported. There was also sporadic mortar fire and a Serb infantry attack. But U.N. officials said the situa tion quieted as the day wore on. U.N. spokesman Maj. Eric Chaperon said Serbs were respecting the terms of a cease-fire they had agreed to and were withdrawing 1.9 miles (three kilome ters) from Gorazde’s center. While U.N. officials said the truce wasgcncrally holding, Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic complained earlier in the day that “Gorazde is still a scene of fighting.” U.N. officials often play down truce violations to avoid having to call air strikes that could escalate fighting and wreck fragile negotiations. About 200 peacekeepers arrived late Saturday in Gorazde. Another 300 peacekeepers due to arrive Sunday were held up at Sarajevo airport. The presence of the peacekeepers also di minishes the likelihood of air strikes, which could pul them in danger. We re Rolling Back Prices on Pizzas • Hoagies • Cheese Steaks Every Mon.&Tnes.

No one claimed responsibility for the blast, which also wounded about 100 people. Suspicions fell on white extremists — the last, stubborn holdouts to the election that will usher in black-majority rule. Political leaders from several parties appealed for calm. “I don’t want you to concentrate on the violent action ofthosc people who want to disrupt the process,” ANC President Nelson Mandela said at a huge rally in Durban that culminated his campaign for the nation’s highest office. “We’re going to deal with those people. We have made fantastic progress, despite criminals and murderers.” The ANC was expected to win the election, the first in South Afri can history to include the black majority. Right-wing extremists opposed to black majority rule have threatened drastic action before voting begins. The present white-led govern ment, expected to share power with the ANC in the next administra tion, said it was resolved to go ahead with the voting, which be gins Tuesday and ends Thursday. “Those who believe that they will prevent or disrupt the election by such terrorism have completely missed the bus,” Law and Order Minister Hernus Kriel said in a statement. One of those killed was an ANC provincial legislalurccandidatc, Su san Keane, who was driving into the ANC regional office fora meet ing when the bomb went off. Other victims were peucsirians near the blast site. A spokesman for the militant right-wing Afrikaner Resistance Movement denied the group was involved. The blast, the biggest ever to hit Johannesburg, renewed fearsofrag ing violence during the election— fears that had been quelled by the last-minute decision of the Zulu nationalist lnkatha Freedom Party to take part in the vote. Inkalha’sdccision left only right wingcxlrcmisls boycotting the bal lot. • lnkatha leader Mangosulhu Bulhelc/.i, who agreed last week to 'end the party’s boycott of the bal loting, joined in condemning the violence Sunday. He appealed to his supporters: “The IFP gains ab solutely nothing from violence.... Let the election run its course and let it be free and fair.” World leaders meet to discuss economies WASHINGTON — The United States pressed Japan and Germany to do more to stimulate their domestic economics as finance officials from the world’s seven richest industrial countries conferred Sunday on the threat to global growth posed by ris ing interest rates. Finance min isters and central bank presidents of the so-called Group ol Seven — the United States. Japan, Germany. Britain, France, Italy and Canada—met behind closed doors at Dumbarton House in the city’s his toric Georgetown district. The G-7 talks were being held in advance of the annual spring meet ings of the 178-nation International Monetary Fund and its sister lending agency, the World Bank. Officials said they were not look ing forany dramatic policy announce ments to come out of the meetings. In addition to current economic prospects, theG-7 officials were sched uled to get a first-hand report on the status of economic reform in Russia from top officials of President Boris Yeltsin’s government, including Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Shokhin. The IMF last week announced that it had awarded Russia a long-delayed $ 1.5 billion loan, which wasexpected to unlock even greater amounts of assistance from individual G-7 coun tries and the World Bank. - While IMF economists are lore casting that the global economy in 1994 should turn in its best perfor mance in five years, that is due prima rily to unexpectedly strong growth in the United States. The IMFhasactuallyrevised down ward its expectations for growth in Japan and Germany due to deeper than-cxpcclcd recessions in those countries. ■i Nebraskan FAX NUMBER 472-1761 M w ^cacoo nAAC Tho Daily Nebraskan(USPS 144-080) is published by the UNL Publications Board, Nebraska Union 34,1400 R St„ Lincoln, NE68588-044B, Monday through Friday during the academic year; weekly during summer sessions , ^ . _. __, Readers are encouraged to submit story ideas and comments to the Daily Nebraskan by phoning 472-1763 betwwn 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
