Elections are schedule Sunday for the federal parliament, but only the Milosevic's Socialist Party and the renamed Communist several satellite parties will take part. Opposition parties are boycotting the vote, calling it "a rigged farce." In comments to Belgrade TV on Thursday, Milosevic raised the nationalist theme that helped make him Serbia's strongman three years ago. He blamed the West for the splintering of the Yugoslav federation that has left Serbia alone with tiny Montenegro. "It is in the interest of foreign powers that . . broke up Yugoslavia to create numerous in the Balkans and to reduce Serbia as much as possible," he said. The U.N. Security Council on Thursday prepared a resolution that would impose harsh economic sanctions on Serbian-le- d Yugoslavia, including an oil embargo or freeze on overseas assets. Russian and Chinese officials agreed not to veto such a resolu- nn. i.nmawtr tsSmimHtmmn The European Community imposed trade sanctions on Yugoslavia on Wednesday. The United States on Thursday offered $9 million to victims of the fighting, but did not approve the use of troops to cut through Serbian lines and deliver the aid, most of it designated for refugees in Bosnia-Her- zegovina. The Orthodox Church denounced Milosevic's Socialist Party. It said the Serbian people had become "the victims of communist tyranny" and declared it was "openly distancing itself from this government." But the church also criticized the European Community for its sanctions and for "identifying the Serbian people with the ' regime currently in power here.

He is a very, very debased citizen today," defense attorney Ian Calli-na- n said in his closing argument to a Perth District Court jury. Bond, 54, was charged in connection with efforts to save the Rothwells merchant bank, which was hit by a run on its funds in the wake of the October 1987 stock market crash.
