Bush asks UN to authorize force over Bosnia aid
President Bush grants formal recognition to Bosnia Herzegovina Slovenia and Croatia and asks the UN Security Council to authorize force to deliver humanitarian relief. He urged quick passage of a mandate to protect U S personnel and end Serbian attacks while stressing hope force is not needed. The move follows Senate committee support for a resolution urging UN intervention to stop artillery shelling and ensure aid delivery.

Clinton Benefits From Volatile Electorate
Knight Ridder reports that in six weeks American voters shifted allegiance rapidly, aiding Bill Clinton as polls show a 57 to 32 lead over Bush. The rapid swing followed Perot's exit and Clinton's nomination in New York, with experts warning the trend may be more surface than real.

Hannah demands boundary changes for November vote
Secretary of State John Hannah ordered Senate district boundaries favored by Democrats for the November general election replace the Republican drawn districts used in the primaries. Republicans condemn the switch as an anti democratic move, while Hannah defends it as required by law. The Legislature had set the boundary plan, and a federal panel approved it under the Voting Rights Act. The prior primaries used maps drawn by federal judges, with the Supreme Court upholding those orders for 1992.

Bivins decries redistricting as power grab in Texas
State Sen. Teel Bivins of District 31 blasts Thursday's redistricting as a shameless power grab. The plan leaves Ector County split between Bivins and Sen. John Montford while expanding Montford's District 28 to include Reeves Culberson El Paso and Hudspeth counties. Montford adviser Jerry Hall notes the action limits the impact on Ector County though the changes stretch to El Paso. George Gray of Lubbock remains Montford rival in November.

Bill would fund child welfare with millionaire tax
The House approved a bill to create a federal child welfare entitlement funded by a 10 percent surtax on incomes over 1 million. It would provide states up to 200 million next year, rising to 600 million by 1997, and expand Food Stamp eligibility while boosting social service grants. The measure, supported by Democrats led by Tom Downey, faces Senate uncertainty and GOP opposition who expect a Bush veto.
