BOSNIAN AIRLIFT RESUMED The United Nations humanitarian airlift, suspended for four days, resumed yesterday and Bosnian defense lines around the Muslim enclave of Gorazde were reported under Serb attack. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees halted relief flights Wednesday after snipers wounded four French soldiers at Sarajevo airport, a United States relief plane was hit by a bullet, and a plane evacuating wounded French was fired at. An appeal went out to the UN commander in Bosnia, Gen. Philippe Morillon, to send a convoy with humanitarian aid and medicine to Gorazde. But Serb commanders continued to block access to the embattled enclave. Freighter aground

More than 100 Chinese apparently tried to swim ashore after their freighter ran aground off the New York City coast yesterday. Two people died and more than a dozen others were seriously injured. It was not known if the passengers were illegal immigrants. Some of the at least 100 people still on board were ignoring Coast Guard orders not to jump into the water. Sihanouk attempt

The head of the Cambodian party that won UN-run elections demanded Saturday that Prime Minister Hun Sen be barred from any powersharing pact, charging that government forces killed party workers. As post-election bargaining intensified, about 400 people gathered outside the royal palace pleading for Prince Norodom Sihanouk to take charge in a bid to avert violence. Mr. Sihanouk said Saturday that he was ready to try again to form an interim government. Somalia fighting

A constitutional ban on warplane purchases through the year 2000 went before Swiss voters yesterday in a referendum sponsored by groups who say that nation does not need 34 new F/A-18 Hornet jet fighters.

Supporters of the ban forced the nationwide vote by collecting a record 504,000 signatures last year. To become law, each proposal most gain approval by a majority of voters and more than half of
