Non-Communist Croatia warned yesterday that escalation of its internal dispute with the federal army had raised anew the specter of civil war as regional leaders met to try to smooth out acute differences over Yugoslavia's future.
Controversv escalates in Croatia
separatist-minded Croatia, which last week narrowly averted clashes with the army, refused to carry out the order and threatened to abandon yesterday's talks in Belgrade.

A government ambudsman appointed to represent Poles opposed to the classes had argued that the Education Ministry could not unilaterally restore religious education to schools without first submitting the move to a Parliamentary vote.
Controversy over army meddling in politics mounted Wednesday after the military ordered the arrest of Croatian Defense Minister Martin Krusevac, plotting an uprising against Yugoslavia.
The judges ruled in favor of the Education Ministry late Wednesday.
More than 90 percent of Poles consider themselves Roman Catholic. But opinion polls and letters published in newspapers show many Poles opposed the religious education order, which began August, because it threatened the separation of church and state in Poland's new democracy.

The Russian legislature voted yesterday to ask Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev to suspend what it called unconstitutional and potentially destabilizing plans to mount joint army and police patrols in Soviet cities as early as today.

The vote reflected anxiety among Russia's federation president, Boris N. Yeltsin, and other reformers that hard-liners were preparing to take control.
Reformers don't want patrols
"Who knows what might happen in the next 24 hours?" Yeltsin said during debate on the resolution. The Russian legislature, in a 130-13 vote, asked Gorbachev to suspend plans for the patrols while the issue was reviewed by the national Constitutional Surveillance Committee and considered by the elected governments of the 15 Soviet republics.

BLAGEOVGRAD, Bulgaria — This city's 60,000 residents know what the gulf conflict and chaos in the Soviet economy mean. Each day, they face food and food caused by the outside world's instability.
In addition, Bulgaria must now pay hard currency for Soviet energy. The Gulf War took care of hoped-for supplies from Iraq, which owes its bulk to the extraction of 9 million people an estimated $1.3 billion.
All but 2 percent of the goods produced at Blagoegeov's 78 factories was destined for the Soviet Union, which is canceling the orders, and Skander Balabanov, senior city administrator, said.
In Plovdiv, the nation's second most populous city, half the 370,000 inhabitants went without heat for a week in January. Turkey eventually rescued the city with emergency oil supplies.

Relief is barely in sight. Bulgaria stopped all
Across Bulgaria, these shortages have made this the worst of all winters since World War II.
Bulgaria begged the European Community this week for $1 billion, saying failure to secure the money certainly would prove the last straw that breaks the back of the Bulgarian reform process.
Yesterday, residents once again lined up for hours in sub-zero temperatures to buy bread and ice cream.
In the 1960s, this area of southwest Bulgaria benefited from Communist efforts to make it a state.
Now, Soviet orders and the Camecon trading bloc have collapsed, and the once-rich agricultural region must depend on other areas for all its food sunnies. Balabanano said.
Nationwide strikes brought down the government of Socialists, or former Communists, last November. The anti-Communist Union of Democratic Forces now controls two of the three key economic ministries in a coalition headed by an unknown, nonpartisan lawyer Dimitar Popov.

Bush said the budget included more resources for cooperative efforts with Latin American allies who were helping to stop the drug trade at the source.
"I'm particularly proud of a new $100 million proposal designed to expand our drug treatment capacity," Bush said. "And that means as many as 400,000 patients could be treated with hopefully off drugs during fiscal 1982."
The proposed domestic law enforcement increase — $656 million — would be a 14 percent hike over 1991. The new money for international crime would be about $170 million — would be 8 percent more than this year.
