"The Serb side has a legitimate right to use all means available to counterattack," he said. "We will keep chasing them and destroying them." While the fighting raged, a group of Bosnian Serbs loyal to the Muslim-led Bosnian government arrived in the Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade to meet Serbian opposition groups. An attempt last year by the group to visit Belgrade was blocked. Their trip followed a surprise meeting Tuesday in Belgrade between Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and Bosnian diplomat Mu-hamed Filipovic the first direct contact between Belgrade and Sarajevo during the war without international mediation.

Bosnia seemed to be trying demonstrate with military and dipl matic initiatives that it is capable of controlling its own destiny after nearly three years of devastating warfare. The battlefield breakthrough came' on sprawling Mount Vlasic, just north of Travnik in central Bosnia, where army sources said government troops had seized control of a strategic communications tower from rebel Bosnian Serbs.

A man police described as an accomplice, Kevin Mullins, 18, of the 4400 block of Blair Avenue, was charged with second-degree murder. Wade was released from prison March 14 after serving about four years of an eight-year sentence for auto theft and other charges.

He had been released once 'before, in August 1994, when he first was given an electronic monitoring bracelet. But he fled after two months. He was rearrested a few days later and sent back to prison. Upon his latest release, Wade was again put on the electronic monitoring program. A rubber and plastic bracelet was attached to his leg.

If he left home between 4 p.m. and 7 a.m., the bracelet sent a message to a tracking company in Minneapolis. On Thursday night, the company notified Missouri parole officers that Wade had left home. State officials said Wade's parole officer was not working Thursday night and didn't get the message until the next day when an arrest order was issued for Wade. By then, he was already in jail.

Funeral Arrangements Visitation for Jeffrey Krewson will be from 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Ambruster-Donnelly Funeral Home, 6633 Clayton Road in Clayton. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Monday at the funeral home. Burial will be at Resurrection Cemetery.

From page one Franklin resisted an apparent robbery attempt by four young men. After the shootings, Chief of De-' tectives Joseph Mokwa said he wasn't sure what advice to give someone confronted by a robber. Police usually advise giving a rob- ber whatever he wants. But Mokwa said he probably would have done exactly as Krewson had, trying to back his car away from the gunman. "You don't know what the intent of these people is," Mokwa said.

Looking For A Victim Jeffrey Krewson, a 1970 graduate of Brentwood High School, had lived in the Central West since the late 1970s. Seven years ago, he and Lyda married and moved to the 500 block of Lake. The neighborhood is generally free of serious crime, the neighbors are friendly and the block is well-lighted, authorities say. But not everyone thought so. The suspect told police that he and an accomplice had decided to steal a car in the neighborhood because they considered it poorly lighted.

The two men parked their pickup a few blocks away from the Krewson home and went looking for someone to rob, they told police. One of the men stuck a sawed-off shotgun down his pants leg. Within minutes, two neighbors walking a dog saw the men and thought they looked suspicious. The neighbors called 911. Police arrived at the Krewson home just after the shooting.

One of the suspects told police he heard the sirens as he started to run from the scene. 'Don't Die' Facing a robber was the last thing the Krewsons figured on Thursday night. The family left home about 7 p.m. They cashed a check and bought a few groceries at the Schnucks store on Arsenal Street, then bought pool shoes for the children at the Target store on Hampton Avenue. After an hour and a half, they returned home.

One of the suspects told police what happened next: He and his accomplice approached the car as it pulled into a parking space in front of the house. "Hold it right there," one of the men said. "Don't do nothing funny. Post-Dispatch Map I just want your car." That's when Krewson honked the horn and started to back up. The gunman said he held the shotgun with one hand and fired through the window of the driver's door.

The bullet a solid projectile designed to kill deer struck Krewson at the base of his neck, severing his carotid artery and exiting through his back. Already in reverse, the car did a U-turn and struck the light pole at the street corner. Lyda Krewson remembered the rest Friday afternoon as friends gathered at her home to console her: She cradled her husband, who was conscious for a few moments. "I'm bleeding," he said. "Jeffrey, don't die," she said.

Taylor cried out for Lyda Krewson works for McDonnell Douglas and had lived in Kuwait for 2 years, and Daliberti, in his 40s, who works for the defense company Kay and Associates. Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz was quoted Friday by the oil publication Energy Compass as saying the Americans may face five to eight years in prison. He said there was no connection between the treatment of the prisoners and U.N. sanctions placed on Iraq in 1991 at the end of the gulf war. "It has nothing to do with U.N.

resolutions," Aziz was quoted as saying in a statement from Energy Compass, an oil publication. the two Americans on humanitarian grounds. We hope this will occur in the near future. Any delay will simply raise questions as to the motives of Iraq. "It remains our view that this situation is the result of an innocent mistake on the part of these two Americans, and no purpose can be served by prolonging it or to link it to other unrelated issues," he added.

Iraq has sought an end to U.N. economic sanctions that were imposed after the Persian Gulf War in 1991. But the United States has resisted any such move until Iraq complies fully with the cease-fire terms of the gulf war. Iraq is holding Barloon, 39, who 1995, Reuters News Service WASHINGTON The White House urged Iraq Friday to release two Americans on humanitarian grounds. William Barloon and David Dali-berti, both employees of military contractors operating in Kuwait, were arrested by Iraqi soldiers March 13 when they became lost on a trip to visit friends in the demilitarized zone between Kuwait and Iraq.

White House spokesman Mike McCurry said Polish diplomats had met with two Americans being held in Baghdad and found them to be in good health. McCurry said that "Iraq should now resolve this matter by releasing to call 911, then the daughter ran from the car calling for help. Neighbors began arriving, one of them a doctor who lives a few doors away. Police arrived, but the ambulance seemed to take forever. Jeffrey Krewson died a few minutes later at Barnes Hospital.

Friday morning a bouquet of yellow daffodils lay on the Krewson's parking spot. Within minutes of the shooting, police arrested two suspects. James Wade, 21, the parolee, is the man police say fired the shot. He was charged with first-degree murder.

The statement said the video of the students' plays showed "a serious and extreme lack of direction" from Lacks. It said: "Teachers do not have the right to abdicate their responsibility to set standards under the guise of creativity." The statement also said Lacks has demonstrated "a fiercely independent nature" during her tenure with the district. "I would like evidence of that," Lacks said. She said she has continually received outstanding evaluations and complimentary letters. The statement says alternative solutions" could have resolved the issues.

Lacks said she "had not been given one alternative solution by body."

It is, however, wholly inappropriate and inadequate in today's social climate." Lacks said just the opposite is true. "Today's social climate is so complicated, and people are coming with so many different voices from so many different places," she said. Lacks said she felt the board's attitude is "disenfranchising students" and is part of the reason so many are dropping out today. She said students "are only going to do something if they work their way through it."

As she has all along, Lacks main-tained Friday that she never violated board policy because there is none prohibiting teachers from allowing profanities in assignments. Lacks said the board's decision in effect said it can interpret its rules any way it wants. "Teachers will be scared to do anything," she said.

"Perhaps that's the effect the board wants." In its decision, the board said Lacks had never tried another method of teaching creating writing, "even for one semester." It also said Mitchell had warned Lacks last year not to permit students to write articles for the student newspaper that included profanities. Lacks said Mitchell "never mentioned it to me." 8 Lacks said she also found "disturb- si visit was not a 5 Plunkett's Great Beginnings Collection Affords High Fashion At Prices Within Most Budgets Well designed, beautiful furnishings are available in an array of" price levels.

From page one The true test of which chamber's parental notice bill will prevail may rest on how much clout the Illinois State Medical Society has with legislators. Dr. Alan Roman, the society's president, said he was neutral toward the House bill but was opposed to the Senate's.

Roman said Dillard's bill put doctors in "triple jeopardy" by imposing civil, criminal and review board penalties on doctors who fail to notify. Two years ago the society was able to kill a parental notice bill that included criminal penalties. Dillard's bill also has the ardent opposition of abortion rights activists, who say its intent is not to strengthen family communication but to intimidate doctors who perform abortions.
