Lawyers will defend protesters
WICHTA — Sixteen Christian lawyers have answered a federal judge's call to defend rank-and-file abortion protesters who have found themselves in court without an attorney.
Melgren said none of the attorneys was taking a position on the abortion issue or the tactics of her husband.
"We're doing this as individuals not as firms or as an organization," said Eric Mellegran, a Wichita lawyer. "Our only concern is to help people caught up in the legal system."
The attorneys, members of the Christian Legal Society, have volunteered their services for free in some of the cases arising from more than 2.600 arrests.
U. S. District Judge Patrick Kelly said that many of the protesters had come to Wichita and expected to receive only a city summons for violation of the law in U.S. District Court without lawyers, he said.

Sihanuk said the remaining forces would be placed under the control of U.N. personnel.
Countries sign agreements recognize Baltic republics
The Associated Press
OSLO, Norway — Norway yesterday signed agreements re-establishing diplomatic relations with Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, as the foreign ministers of the Baltic republic traveled across northern Europe seeking recognition of their independence from the Soviet Union.
Iceland and Denmark signed diplomatic agreements Monday, and Denmark sent Otto Borch to Latvia as the first ambassador to the Baltic states in 50 years.
"It's not important to be the first, but it is important to come as quickly as possible," Borch said before landing in Latvia, where he will be accredited to all three Baltic governments.
Meanwhile, the list of countries prepared to recognize the Baltics grew in the wake of a failed coup in the Soviet Union that weakened the Kremlin and bolstered independence movements across the nation.

British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd said yes
terday that his country was ready to recognize the three Baltic republics.
"We've always said and felt that they were different from the other republic, 'Hurd said. We never accepted that Stalin was justified in swallowing them up in 1940 and we believe they've now established a degree of effective independence which justifies them being recognized."
"Unless there's some disagreement this afternoon, I expect that we will announce our readiness to do so and then we will do so," Hurd said. "I don't see the point in further delay."
The European Community foreign ministers were scheduled to meet yesterday in Brussels, Belgium, and Hurd said he expected the EC also would recognize the Baltics.
Norway, meanwhile, is sending Ambassador Kjell Colding to the Baltics to set up embassies, Norwegian Foreign Minister Thorvald Stoltenberg said yesterday after the signing ceremony in Oslo.
KIEV, U.S.S.R. — Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk said yesterday that he was leaving the Communist Party, three days after Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as head of the national party.
Ukrainian president leaves party
Kravchuk, a former ideology chief of the Ukrainian Communist Party, said he made his decision on Aug. 19 as the unsuccessful coup attempt against Gorbachev began. That morning, he said, he received a threatening visit from Gen. Valentin Varennikov, the chief of Soviet ground forces.

"I realized he was acting not only on behalf of the army, but on behalf of the Communist Party," Kravchuk said.

republics now have declared themselves independent.
He became chairman of the Ukrainian Supreme Soviet, the republic's parliament, on July 23, 1990, and replaced Vladimir Ivashko, who left for Moscow to become Gorbachev's deputy in the Communist Party.
Kravachk served as ideology chief of the Ukrainian party under Vladimir Shcherbatsky when the Bolsheviks defeated him in a military battle.
Kravchuk played a major role in the campaign against the pro-independence Rukh movement at the end of 1988, although he now has good relations with it.
He is expected to run in the direct elections for Ukrainian president scheduled for Dec. 1.
