Soviets deny full embargo
Lithuanians expect production cutbacks
The Associated Press
VILNIUS, U.S.S.R. — A top Communist official from Moscow said yesterday that the Lithuanian independence movement was leading the Kremlin to attack theophra and denied that the Kremlin imposed a total economic blockade.
The Sajjads independence movement, whose leaders dominate Lithuania's government, stated its intention to declare its 11 declaration of independence.
The streets of Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, were calm, with people walking rather than using cars as a mode of transportation. Rationing that permits about 7 gal
lons a month for private cars
Lithuanian Deputy Premier Romualda Ozolas said Saturday that the Kremlin was implementing a full economic embargo, halting all rail and truck traffic to the tiny republic.
Yesterday the Lithuanian government sent a telegram to Soviet Premier Nikolai L. Ryzhukov which said that the Soviet cutoff of fuel and raw materials would choke Lithuanian processing and manufacturing of goods meant for export and the Soviet market.
The Soviet decision to cut off all of Lithuania's oil supply and nearly all of its natural gas is expected to put 70
percent of the republic's work force out of work.
In neighboring Latvia, the drive for independence received a show of support in a rally attended by more than half of the 16,000 newly elected members of city councils, regional bodies and the republics. In another month, only 307 people attended a nearby meeting of a group opposing Latvian independence.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia all are trying to restore the independence they lost in 1940 when they were occupied and forcibly annexed to the Soviet Union. Lithuania has declared independence, Estonia has dropped enforcement of the Soviet Constitution and Latvia is expected to declare its freedom from the Soviet Union on May 3.
MILKEN TO BE QUESTIONED:
Michael Milken's securities fraud settlement calls for him to be questioned by the government, but he will not have to provide information designed to lead to other prosecutions, a source said yesterday.
The settlement could end the biggest phase of the Wall Street fraud investigation that began in 1980 and culminated with Milken's tentative agreement to plead guilty to six felonies.

Milken spearheaded some of the biggest corporate takeovers of the 1980s as head of Drevel Burlam肩港 Inc.'s junk bond department.
U. S. TO HELP PERU: The United States is beginning a $35 million military aid program to expand the
drug war in Peru by helping the Peruvian government fight leftist guerrillas who protect coca growers and farmers, according to a published report.
The New York Times quoted a top U.S. official in Lima as saying the United States would build a military training base in the heart of the coca-growing region to train and equip six battalions, to provide river patrol boats and to refurbish 20 ground attack jets.
The official emphasized that the U.S. military would be limited to a training ability in accordance with agreements reached at the Feb. 15 drug summit in Cartagena, Colombia.
COUP ATTEMPT IN NIGERIA: Nigeria's military government said
that it had crushed a coup attempt yesterday after heavy fighting with rebel troops for control of the capital, Lagos.
STREATH FIGHTER VIEWED: One of the United State's worst kept military secrets, the F-117A stealth fighter, was unveiled Saturday to a crowd of thousands who cheered a demonstration flight by two of the $42.8 million aircraft.
The rebellion in Africa's most populous nation was launched by middle-ranking officers opposed to President Gen. Ibrahim Bahamil of Nigeria, who broke up Nigeria's federation of 19 states and end Muslim domination.
Viewing was opened to the public later, and as many as 150,000 people were expected.

Who Said, "You can't have your burger and eat it too?"
Come into Pup's Grill on Ninth and Indiana and get a free burger with the purchase of a sandwich of equal value, large fries and a large drink. Now what you do with that extra burger is entirely up to you, but possible suggestions may include: 1. Place it on a pedestal to gawk, stare and otherwise idolize. 2. Use as bookend for "uncracked" calculus texts. 3. Create the illusion that you are generously settling an old food debt.
