North Korea warns U.S. to drop Patriot missile
The Associated Press
TOKYO — North Korea warned yesterday it may nullify promises to accept some nuclear inspections unless the United States drops plans to put Patriot anti-missile batteries in South Korea.
The resistance of North Korea's hard-line Communist government to nuclear inspections has increased suspicions that it is trying to develop atomic weapons. The North Koreans deny doing so, saying their nuclear program has only peaceful purposes.
For a second straight day, North Korea's official news media strongly criticized U.S. plans disclosed last week to send Patriot batteries to South Korea to defend against a possible North Korean rocket attack.
"We are prepared either for dialogue or for a war," an unidentified representative for North Korea's

The representative said the United States also had stepped up espionage against North Korea and called the moves "premeditated provocative maneuvers which will bring the situation of the Korean Peninsula to an extremely reckless phase of war."
North Korea announced in March that it was withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, but suspended that move to negotiate with the United States over nuclear inspections.

committee for reunification with South Korea said in a report carried by the Korean Central News Agency. The report was monitored in Tokyo.
The newspaper of North Korea's ruling party denounced the Patriot plan in a similarly worded statement Sunday.
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Bosnian Serbs announced a new call-up of men and women yesterday to prepare for more fighting, reflecting their failure to force Bosnia's Muslim-led government to accept defeat.

"The Muslims don't want peace because of the support they are getting from Washington and other centers of power," the speaker of the Bosnian Serb assembly, Moncillo Krajlik, told a local radio station.
The U.N. agency says North Korea has balked at procedures the agency considers necessary.
In a telephone interview, the Bosnian Serbs' defense minister, Gen. Dusan Kovacevic, accused Western nations of "supporting the continuation of the war rather than a peaceful settlement in Bosnia."
While the extent of mobilization could not be determined, it seemed to stem from the stubborn resistance of increasingly aggressive Bosnian government troops and fears that the West might intervene on behalf of the Muslims.
Drug use, smoking rising among teens
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Smoking and drug use among American teen-agers are increasing after a decade of decline, a study showed yesterday, and its author warned that "the stage is set for a potential resurgence of cocaine and crack use."
University of Michigan researchers said they noticed a relaxing of attitudes about the dangers of drugs among eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders in a yearly survey.
The study found a three or four percentage-point rise in the last year or two among students who reported any use of marijuana in the previous 12 months.
After falling from favor in the last 15 years, LSD use has been increasing gradually and there has been a rise in
the use of inhalants like glues, solvents and aerosols.
The Michigan researchers surveyed 51,000 high school and eighth-grade youths in more than 400 schools.
Among other findings:
Sixty-seven percent of eighth-graders, 81 percent of 10th-graders and 87 percent of 12th-graders have tried alcohol.
Fourteen percent of eighth-graders, 23 percent of 10th-graders and 28 percent of 12th-graders admitted to binge drinking (five or more drinks in a row) in the previous two weeks.
Only 53 percent of eighth-graders see a great risk in smoking a pack or more of cigarettes a day. But 70 percent of seniors saw that as a great risk.
Only 36 percent of the eight-
graders, 30 percent of the 10th-
graders and 22 percent of the 12th-
graders perceive great risk in trying marijuana once or twice.
Thirty-one percent of the seniors said they had used an illicit drug in the last 12 months; 17 percent had used an illicit drug other than marijuana.
Two percent of the 12th-graders said they smoked marijuana daily. One percent of the 10th-graders and less than one-half of 1 percent of the eighth-graders did.
Thirteen percent of the eighthgraders said they had tried marijuana sometime in their lifetime; 24 percent of the 10th-graders and 35 percent of the 12th-graders had used it.
Three percent of eighth-graders, 4 percent of 10th-graders and 6 percent of 12th-graders said they had tried cocaine in the past year, which reflects only a small change from 1992.
