THE NEWS in brief
WASHINGTON 87-year-old U.S. man accused of Nazi crimes
The Justice Department accused a Massachusetts man yesterday of being "a senior-level perpetrator of the Holocaust" in Nazi-occupied Lithuania.
The accusations came in a suit to take away the U.S. citizenship of Aleksandras Lileikis of Norwood, Mass., an 87-year-old retired publishing company employee.
Confronted by reporters at his home, Lileikis slammed the door after repeatedly saying "No comment."
The complaint says Lileikis headed the Nazi-sponsored Lithuanian Security Police for Vilnius and in that role was a major figure in the destruction of Jews in a capital city known before World War II as a major center of Jewish life.
Since the allegations are in a civil suit, not a criminal charge, Lilikki may leave the United States at any time, said Eli Rosenbaum, acting director of the departments Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations. If the court revokes his U.S. citizenship, deportation proceedings would begin.
He was "a senior-level perpetrator of the Holocaust," said Rosenbaum. He is the first senior Lithuanian police official prosecuted in connection with Nazi-period crimes, Rosenbaum said.
U. S. citizenship has been taken away from 50 people accused of participating in Nazi persecutions, and 42 have been removed from the United States.
NONGOMA, South Africa Tribe's adviser widens rift
The king of South Africa's largest tribe picked a chief adviser yesterday who is aligned with the government of Nelson Mandela, widening the rift with Zulu nationalists.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini severed ties Tuesday with nationalist leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi, raising fears of renewed clashes in the Zulu homeland.
Buthelezi's Inkatha Freedom Party has strong support among South Africa's 7 million Zulus. But many Zulus support Mandela's African National Congress.
The rivalry between Inkatha and ANC supporters has killed more than 10,000 people in five years. There were fears the rift between Buthelezi and the king could touch off more violence if the king is perceived to be aligning with the ANC.
The South African army dispatched troops yesterday to guard the king, the South African Press Association reported. It was not immediately clear how many soldiers had been sent, and Nongoma was calm.
WASHINGTON TV media booted from court
After a three-year experiment, a judicial panel has acted to keep TV cameras out of federal courtrooms — a decision that was met with dismay by television executives and advocates of greater press freedom.
The vote by the policy-making Judicial Conference of the United States was a severe setback to years of news media efforts to open federal court proceedings to television, as has been done by 47 states in non-federal courts.
David Sellers, spokesman for the conference, said the judges on the panel were concerned about the potential negative impact of TV cameras on jurors or witnesses.
"The bottom line, by about a vote of 2-1, was a concern about jurors, witnesses, potential distractions for jurors and witnesses, whether or not they were more nervous and, in particular, whether or not they feared for any harm," Sellers said.
"One-third of our federal government will remain inaccessible to American citizens," said Brian Lamb, chief executive officer of C-SPAN. "The sad result is that most people's knowledge about judicial systems will now be limited to sensational criminal trials."

CHICAGO G-string painting gets $95K
The city has agreed to pay $95,000 to an artist whose painting of late Mayor Harold Washington in G-string and bra was removed from an art show by three aldermen.
The city also agreed to give police detailed instructions on when materials protected by the First Amendment may be seized, according to the settlement announced Tuesday.
David Nelson's painting, titled "Mirth and Girth," depicted the city's first black mayor in a bra, G-string, garter belt and stockings. It was displayed in May 1988, months after Washington's death, as part of a private student exhibition at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Aldermen Allan Streeter, Dorothy Tillman and Bobby Rush seized the painting, and the police superintendent then took it into custody. It was returned to Nelson the next day after repeated demands by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The aldermen claimed they wanted to save the painting from mob destruction and prevent it from inciting riots. They agreed to groom and federal it.
They agreed not to appeal a federal court's ruling that they had violated Nelson's rights.
One of the aldermen, Rush, is now a congressman.

Its purpose is to provide a focus on the spiritual side of life and to give students an opportunity to share their own spiritual journeys with each other.YOU are invited to attend these special events:
