Bosnian cease-fire declared ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - Bosnia's com- batants agreedyesterday to a 60-day cease-fire and new talks on ending their 3 1/2 years of carnage; taking one big step closer to a peace settlement that U.S. troops would help police. The accord on the cease-fire was reached during United States' strongest press yet for peace in Bosnia. In announcing the agree- ment, President Clinton in -Washington ac- knowledged that unresolved problems re- mained before it takes effect Tuesday. "We need to be clear-eyed about this," he said. "It matters what the parties do, not just what they say." NATO planners said they would hasten work on a military force to help enforce an eventual peace arrangement. The United States would commit roughly 20,000 troops to such a force, but is saying they would not enter Bosnia until a final peace deal is signed. Warring factions near peace settlement with 60-day truce Citing progress toward peace, the'United Nations announced it could cut its troops in Bosnia by 9,000 troops, or one-third of its force in Bosnia. It was not known how long the withdrawals would take. Warring forces in Bosnia continued to battle for strategic territory. But in contrast to countless failed truces, they seemed to want this cease-fire. The U.S. official who negotiated it, Assis- tant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, shed his normally cautious demeanor yester- day after shuttling around the Balkans. "Today marks another important step for- ward, undeniably a big step forward," Holbrooke told reporters inZagreb, the Croatian capital. "We're pleased with where we are." In the northern Serb stronghold Banja Luka, Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic said he saw no reason to take back by force territory Serbs recently have lost. "We want peace, and we have to be practical," he said. Under the agreement, signed by Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic and Bosnian Serb leaders including Karadzic, peace talks will be held in the United States beginning Oct. 25, and later in Paris. The MusIim-led government army and rebel Serbs will halt all offensive actions, including mine-laying and sniping, at midnight Tuesday (7:01 p.m. Ann Arbor time Monday). But U.S. officials say that deadline might have to be extended if utilities are not re- stored to Sarajevo by then -- a key demand of the Bosnian government. Facing a fourth winter of war with Serbs still surrounding their capital, Bosnian offi- cials insisted on secure supplies of gas and electricity. Utility lines go through Serb ter- ritory and repeatedly have been cut to put pressure on Sarajevo. If the utility work cannot be done in time, the cease-fire will take effect the day after it is completed, Alexander Vershbow, special assistant to Clinton for European affairs, told reporters in Washington. Brown to dedicate new shelter for women N SAFE House to use Simpson trial to build awareness of abuse By Lenny Feller Daily Staff Reporter Denise Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, is coming to Ann Ar- bor Sunday to help dedicate the first publicly-funded domestic violence cen- ter in the country. Brown will deliver a short speech as the keynote speaker of the new SAFE House, located at Clark and Hogback roads. The dedication will take place from 2-4 p.m. The 300,000-square-foot shelter fea- tures a 30-bedroom, 50-bed facility, an education center and a children's cen- ter. Construction ofthe shelter was made possible through a $3.2 million prop- erty tax millage increase, passed by Washtenaw County voters in October 1992. "When we heard (Brown) was com- ingto the area, the timing fell into place," said Catherine McClary, president of the Domestic Violence Project, Inc./Safe House Board of Directors. "We thought it was incredibly appropriate. "The (O.J. Simpson) trial and his murder case had the country riveted. We wanted to use the coattails of that to raise awareness of domestic abuse," McClary said. Brown will speak on behalf of the Educational Campaign on Domestic Vio- lence, a new foundation she created to aid battered women. It is a cause she has embraced since the murder of her sister. Brown's visit was arranged through the efforts of the Counsel Against Do- mestic Violence and an East Lansing shelter, McClary said. To McClary, the not-guilty verdict in the Simpson trial is not the salient issue. "Guilty or innocent, O.J. Simpson is a convicted batterer," she said. "It's a con- tinuum. It starts with slapping and hitting and often ends with murder. It can happen to anyone: rich, poor, white, black." The dedication also will feature the presentation of plaques and awards to financial donors, bands, choral groups, tours of the facility and the presentation of a check to Washtenaw County to cover rent for the next 50 years. The check, however, will only be for $50, per an agreement with Washtenaw County to pay rent in the amount of $1 per year. Organizers say the most important part of the dedication has nothing to do with any of these events. "We're mak- ing a public statement that women shouldn't have to hide anymore," McClary said. McClary said she expects about 1,000 people to attend the dedication. While construction of the new SAFE See BROWN, Page 2 inside: Fallout from Simpson acquittal continues. Page 2. " I -: - / l- P1 . ~ /~,. Pope speaks out against abortion, euthanasia in NJ. :.: ; EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Invoking Emma Lazarus' plea for America to embrace the huddled masses, Pope John Paul II urged the nation yesterday to rid itself of the "moral blight" of abortion and euthanasia. Just 10 miles from the Statue of Lib- erty, the pontiff told more than 80,000 rain-soaked worshipers at Giants Sta- dium to continue in the tradition of the anti-slavery and civil rightsmovements to extend legal protection to "the un- born child," the elderly and the severely handicapped. "Both as Americans and as followers of Christ, American Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition," the pon- tiff declared from a giant altar at one end zone. Hours of steady rain and raw October weather could not detract from the en- thusiasm of the huddled masses inside the converted football field. Some in the crowd wept, some pressed their hands to their hearts or cried "Viva el Papa" as the pontiff circled the stadium in his pope-mobile. "This is the most important day of my life. I cannot describe to you how important it is to be here," said 76-year- old Edward Pietro of Toms River. "Af- ter today, if nothing else exciting or wonderful happens in my life, I will die a fulfilled man." Yesterday, the pope urged the United Nationsto be an authentic force for peace. "The United Nations Organization needs to rise more and more above the cold status of an administrative institu- tion and to become a moral center where all the nations ofthe world feel at home," he told the General Assembly. The pope's visit during the United Nations' 50th anniversary year was the central point of his fourth pilgrimage to the United States. The organization is deeply in debt, in part because of its expanded peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and elsewhere, and John Paul wants to see it strengthened. But that meeting like the other events since the pope's arrival Wednesday was for a small group of dignitaries and invited guests. It was here in Giants Stadium that masses ofthe faithful could see the man many believe is the vicar of Christ on Earth. Among them was Donna Tellicano, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and < ;: > uses a wheelchair. She came hoping that the pope would touch her and mi- raculously cure her. "I believe in miracles," she said. Andrew DiDomenico, a 24-year-old bagel baker from Clifton, came because "God wanted me to be here." "I was here in the rain for quite a few Grateful Dead shows. I was here for that, I should be here for this," he said. In an atmosphere more resonant of a concert or athletic event than a Mass, flashbulbs popped throughout the sta- dium as the pope re-entered the field for the opening procession. Before that, worshipers did "the wave" and chanted "John Paul II, we love you" as they waited in the rain. The pope was partially protected by a white canopy hanging over a huge red- carpeted altar set up in an end zone. But at one point, the wind knocked off his zucchetto, the white skullcap. Some bishops celebrating Mass with the pope wore clear rain slickers over their white and gold vestments. In his homily, the pope recited part of Lazarus' poem in encouraging Ameri- cans to continue to welcome immi- grants yearning to breathe free and to serve the poor. "Is present-day America becoming less sensitive, less caring toward the poor, the weak, the stranger, the needy? It must not," the pope declared.
