Violence continues in Lithuania
Soviet "black beret" commanded open fire on a small bus carrying Lithuanian border guards, wounding at least one, the Lithuanian government press office said yesterday.
Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 miles away in Georgia, Georgian and Ossetian groups that have been fighting pitched battles with shells, grenades and bombs have also been involved in the Soviet news agency Tass reported yesterday.
However, there were also reports of continued violence in the South Ossetia section of Georgia, with a nurse and a boy injured in an attack on a bus driver. The bus passengers reportedly were taken hostage.
The shooting in Lithuania began when the Lithuanian bus approached a roadblock set up by
the black beret rope on a street in Vilnius and refused to stop, the Lithuanian government said. Soviet jeeps chased and fired at the bus until it stopped, the statement said. Six men fled.
One of the six showed up at the Lithuanian parliament building with a gunshot wound to the thigh, the statement said. He was rushed to a hospital and identified as one of the other five border guards were not known.

Walesa welcomed with debt relief
President Bush welcomed Polish President Lech Walesa yesterday with the news that the United States would forgive 70 percent of the debt Poland owed to the U.S. government.
"We want your economic transformation to succeed and your new democracy to flourish and we call on other nations to follow our example." Walesa in a ceremony on the White House lawn.
Wales, speaking in Polish and using an interpartial language, reduced a major part of Poland's debt burden.
"Your personal involvement in this course has for Poland a historical dimension," he told Bush.
Walesa closed his remarks with a few words in English, "God bless you, Mr. President. God bless America."
Walesa said Poland was becoming a country of new economic opportunity and invited the United States to participate. Bush said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had assured an investment mission to Poland this summer.
The United States and other Western nations agreed Friday to reduce Poland's debt to their governments, which totals **33.5 billion**, by at least 50 percent. The U.S. share of the debt is **$9.9 billion**.
"The United States worked long and hard to achieve that unprecedented agreement, and we
encourage other creditors to join us in going beyond that 50 percent level." Bush said. "We certainly shall. We will reduce your indebtedness a full 70 percent."
The White House said the presidential action would have the effect of increasing to 52 percent the total reduction in Poland's combined debt to Western governments.
