Balkans peace talks near close in Dayton

Christopher meets
with leaders to offer
U.S. proposals
Los Angeles Times
DAYTON, Ohio - With Bosnia
peace talks nearing the make-or-break
time, Secretary of State Warren Chris-
topher held a series of meetings with
the conflict's factional leaders yester-
day, offering U.S. proposals to resolve
the remaining disputes blocking a com-

prehensive settlement.
State Department spokesman Nicho-
las Burns said Christopher met three
times each with Croatian President
Franjo Tudjman, Bosnian President
Alija Izetbegovic and Serbian Presi-
dent Slobodan Milosevic during a mara-
thon day of talks preceding a scheduled
late-night departure for Japan.
"There is a different feel to this place
than there was on Nov. 1" when the
talks began, Burns said.
Although he refused to supply de-

tails, Burns implied that the Dayton
talks are nearing the end game. He said
the negotiations are expected to go on
"into the weekend" and probably into
next week. But he said the parties are
nearing the point where the talks will
either succeed or fail.
"We're going to stay here as long as
we think there is a chance for an agree-
ment," Burns said.
In Washington, President Clinton told
congressional leaders that the parties
negotiating in Dayton have made clear

that unless the United States provides
troops to help police an agreement "there
will be no peace in Bosnia."
In a nine-page letter responding to an
assertion by Senate Majority Leader
Bob Dole (R-Kan.) and House Speaker
Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) that the chances
of congressional approval of the use of
U.S. troops was "almost nil," Clinton
outlined the rationale for American
participation and launched a vigorous
defense of the administration's diplo-
matic and military plans.
Although he said it would cost about
$1.5 billion to keep 20,000 American
troops in Bosnia as part of a 60,000
troop NATO-led force, Clinton argued
"the costs and risks of failing to make
peace are far greater."

Ohio abortion ruling could affect Michigan
DAYTON, Ohio- A judge's decision to temporarily block a new Ohio law that
restricts late-term and "dilation and extraction" abortions could affect Michigan
and other states if the case is appealed, legal experts said yesterday.
U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice on Monday delayed implementation of
the Ohio law, which was to have taken effect yesterday, for at least 10 days. Rice
said he needed time to decide whether to issue an order that would block the law
indefinitely and likely result in an appeal.
The target of the law is dilation and extraction, an abortion procedure in which
the brain of the fetus is suctioned out and the skull collapsed to remove the fetus
from the womb.
Abortion-rights advocates said the late-term procedure is used in less than.I
percent of the 1.5 million abortions performed each year, generally when the fetus
is severely deformed orthe mother's life is at risk. Opponents said a "living fetus"
is partially delivered, then killed.
The Women's Medical Professional Corp. and Dr. Martin Haskell, both of
Cincinnati, filed a lawsuit on Oct. 27 challenging the law. They said it would
violate their constitutional rights to privacy, liberty and due process.
Although the U.S. House passed a bill on Nov.l to outlaw the method, Janet
Folger, legislative director of Ohio Right to Life, said Ohio is the only state to ban
the procedure.

Most U.S. women at
risk for breast cancer
WASHINGTON - Most U.S.
women have at least one of the four
breast cancer risks that account for 41
percent of the disease, scientists report.
Doctors have long known that cer-
tain characteristics like the age when a
woman gives birth are risks for breast
cancer, but differ over just how much
cancer they cause.
Patricia Madigan of the National In-
stitutes of Health studied 7,508 women
to come up with the latest estimate that
90 percent of women have at least one
of the risks cited in 41 percent of the
cases. The estimate was reported in
today's edition of the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute.
Breast cancer strikes 180,000 women
each year and kills 46,000. About one
in nine U.S. women are expected to
suffer breast cancer at some point of
their lives.
The risk factors cited exist in about
73,800 of the total cases, the study
indicated. Having no children or hav-
ing them afterage 19 together accounted
for 29.5 percent of those breast cancer

cases, a higher income, 18.9 percent;
and having a close relative who got the
disease, 9.1 percent. Some women had
more than one risk.
The percentage of higher-income
women reflected in part that they were
more likely to get checkups.
X-rys may settle
deathpenalty disput
NEW YORK - A murder defendant
claims he's too young to face the death
penalty. Federal prosecutors want to X-
ray his bones to see for themselves.
Fu Xin Chen - a reputed gang mem-
ber charged with conspiring to kidnap,
torture and murder a Chinese garment
worker - says he's only 15. Author-
ties believe Chen is 23.
Chen's age could mean his life.-
adults can be sentenced to death in
federal court for a kidnapping that ends
in a killing. Juveniles cannot.
Prosecutors argued during a closed
hearing last week that X-rays would
show whether Chen's bones are those
of an adult, according to defense attor
neys and a law-enforcement source.

Peres reassures

Israel and the West Bank, Acting Prime

It was a message ofreassurance ainec
