THE NEWS in brief
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina NATO and U.N. differ in views concerning use of force in Bosnia
France chastised U.N. civilian officials yesterday for failing to order air attacks on Serb gunners who fired at French peacekeepers.
Contradicting U.N. accounts, NATO officials said alliance warplanes did not lose sight of the Serb guns because of bad weather and could have attacked during the incident that began late Saturday near Blihac in northwestern Bosnia.
The six-hour interval between the peacekeepers' request for help and the U.N. decision not to proceed highlighted differing NATO and U.N. views. The alliance wants to act fast to deter attacks, but U.N. officials are reluctant to use force, apparently fearing retaliation on its ground personnel.
"I do not have the impression that those responsible on the ground — those who represent the U.N. secretary-general — have the firm determination to use force each time it is necessary," French Foreign Minister Alain Jaunpé said on French radio. "We must move faster and be more determined."
Joe Sillis, a U.N. spokesman in New York, said U.N. military officials would analyze what went wrong over Bihac.
"By the time air support had been approved, the attacking party had withdrawn," he said. "This response was not quick, and I think we have to look at that."

Atlanta Perot tackles health-care plan
Ross Perot denounced President Clinton's health plan yesterday and urged the nation's doctors to mail him $1,000 apiece to help draw up a better one.
Perot promised at a convention of the American College of Cardiology to chip in $1 million himself and said he would make health care his major concern.
Perot said his new campaign, which he called Put Patients First, would rely on doctors to shape a new plan and sell it to the public.
Perot dismissed Clinton's 1,342-page proposal. He said it was too complicated and expensive.
"It is designed to fail," he said.
Perot said the doctors' $1,000 contributions would be spent largely on television time to promote the new plan.
Perot gave little hint what would be in his plan beyond a few broad principles. Perot differs from Clinton by opposing government management of health care and wanting doctors to oversee quality of care.
Perot said that his plan would be put into effect gradually
and that pilot studies would be launched to test any proposed changes.
Doctors attending the talk were given a booklet, made up mostly of magazine and newspaper clippings, and an enrollment form to send in with their checks. The form gives doctors a chance to rate the importance of the principles Perot listed.
Washington
Second Clinton appointee resigns
Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, a friend of President and Mrs. Clinton, resigned yesterday, saying distractions from a probe at his former law firm "will interfere with my service to the country."
Hubbell was the second Clinton official to resign in just over a week. White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum quit on March 5 after revelations of briefings with regulators investigating an Arkansas savings and loan tied to the Clintons.
Hubbell excused himself because of personal involvement last fall from any role in the department's investigation of the Clinton's investment in the Whitewater Development Corp., the co-owner of which also owned Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan. The firm had represented Madison in the past, and Hubbell later sued an accounting firm blamed in the thrift's failure on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
East London, South Africa Three whites slain in church
Black gunmen interrupted an integrated church service, lined up the only three whites inside against a wall and killed them, witnesses and police said. A man saying his represented a militant Black group claimed responsibility yesterday.
the congregants, members of the Baha'i faith, were attacked Sunday night in the Black township of Mdansate, outside East London on South Africa's south-east coast. Black congregants said six gunmen entered the crowded church, which holds about 150 people, and ordered Blacks to remain seated.
The gunmen told the three whites in the group to line up against the wall, then shot them with automatic weapons. No one else was harmed.
There was no independent verification of the claim by a man who said that the Azanian Liberation Army carried out the attack.
The group opposes the April 26-28 national election to end white-minority rule, saying the current white government should immediately hand power to the Black majority.
Baha'i churches in South Africa have been integrated for 40 years.
