Rioting erupts in South Africa
Striking Black workers protest leader's death
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — In an outpouring of Black rage, millions of workers went on strike yesterday to protest the slaying of Black leader Chris Hani. At least four people were killed and hundreds wounded as Black battled police.
The worst clash was in the Black township of Soweto, where police fired on marchers outside the main police station. Hospital representative Adri Potgieter said three people died, five were critically wounded and 259 suffered minor wounds.
Police claimed they fired because protesters had hurled rocks, but witnesses said most of the crowd was calm and had started to leave the area.
Among the dead was African National Congress official Sam Ntobane, the Black group said.
Black and white leaders are struggling to prevent anger over the killing of Hari from derailing talks on ending aparheid.
Police and soldiers fired shotguns, rubber bullets and tear gas at looters who rampaged through shops in Cape Town and torched vehicles. A hand grenade exploded and injured 10 soldiers, and medical officials said a man was killed and about 150 people were
wounded in the looting.
President F.W. de Klerk called for a meeting last night with ANC president Nelson Mandela as soon as possible.
"What happened in South Africa today cannot be tolerated in any civilized country," de Klek said.
Mourners expressed their sadness for Hani's death by attending peaceful memorial services and marches, heeding the ANC's call for a one-day strike.
"It was one of the best-attended stayaways ever," said economist Miekle Dames. Business groups said as many as 75 percent of the nation's 9 million Black workers were on strike, meaning a possible $160 million loss to the economy.
About 20,000 people squeezed into Soweto's small Jabulani Stadium, where Mandela pleaded for calm.
"I appreciate that our young people are very angry because their hero has been killed," he said as the crowd surged dangerously toward the small stage. "But to return to violence only means more innocent people are going to continue dying."
U.S. envoy warns Serbs to sign peace plan
BELIAGE, Yugoslavia — President Clinton's special envoy warned Yugoslav leaders yesterday that they face complete isolation if Bosnian Serbs do not stop atrocities and make peace.

The United States and its allies also will press for Bosnia's largely Muslim government to be exempted from a U.N. arms embargo if Bosnian Serbs do not sign the U.N.-sponsored peace plan, envoy Reginald Bartholomew told reporters.
"the military and human horror has to stop now," he said. "Brouman Serba has to do it now."
in the Sea, "Bosnia and Herzegovina" or Bartholomew and Russian envoy Vitaly Churkin were engaged in what seemed to be a last-ditch attempt to get Bosnia's Serbs to sign a peace plan
the former Tuggeran state.
But the two emvoys appeared to get nowhere.
But the two envoys appeared to get nowhere. Artillery attacks continued on Srebrenica, one of only three enclaves held by Muslims in eastern Bosnia.
Eight people were killed and 21 wounded in an attack just after a convoy evacuated about 650 refugees from Srebrenica late Tuesday, said John McMillan, a U.N. aid representative in Sarajevo, Bosnia's capital.
The Security Council has given Bosnian Serbs until April 26 to agree to the international peace plan dividing Bosnia into 10 largely autonomous provinces.
Bosnian Serbs reject it because it would deny them the land links to Serbia and Serb-held areas of Croatia. It also would require the Serbs give up a large chunk of the 70 percent of Bosnia they control.
Bartholomew said he had a "very candid and direct exchange" with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, widely viewed as the main instigator of Bosnia's war.
"I made clear that we and much of the world community are looking to him to work to put an end to the military actions and humanitarian horror that are taking place in Bosnia, particularly in eastern Bosnia, and to work to help bring the Bosnian Serbs to agreement," Bartholomew said.
Group of Seven meet to discuss $30 billion Russian aid package
The Associated Press
TOKYO — The seven strongest industrial nations opened an emergency meeting on Russian aid with a U.S. proposal yesterday to spend $4 billion on converting state-run factories to private ownership.
Japan also detailed its first major aid package for Moscow — $1.81 billion in loans and grants to bolster President Boris Yeltsin. The Japanese hope that if Yeltsin wins an April 25 referendum on his leadership, he will come to Tokyo in May and arrange the return of four islands just north of Japan that were seized at the close of World War II.
Other parts of an overall $30 billion aid package are expected to fall in place during the two-day meeting of foreign and finance ministers from the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada.
The four sparsely populated islands of the Kuri chain are a lingering symbol of Japanese nationalism, and the dispute has kept Japan and Russia from signing a peace treat. But at the urging of its Western partners, the government of Prime Minister Kichi Miyazawa put the issue aside to play a prominent role in the Yellows balloon effort.
A senior Italian foreign ministry
official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Group of Seven's program would include a $500 million fund promote small and mid-size businesses in Russia. The fund would be put together with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The privatization fund would be launched with a $500 million U.S. contribution. The other six nations would be expected to provide $1.5 billion, and the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development would add $2 billion.
Treasury Secretary Lloyd Beenius said the fund would free Russia's central bank of some of the burden of converting oil, gas and other major industries to private control. That would save thousands of jobs because inflation caused by the bank's issuance of easy credit, he said.
President Clinton is expected to announce the U.S. share of the $30 billion aid package tomorrow. That will be in addition to $1.6 billion in loans and grants he announced earlier this year.
Germany, which already has pro-
vided about $39 billion in aid to Russia,
has been pushing all its Group of Seven partners to do more to prop up the former Soviet republic.
