Key aide to Gorbachev meets with Lithuanians
he Associated Press
MOSCOW - A delegation from the rebellious Baltic republic of Lithuania met yesterday with an important adviser to President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, A Lithuanian legislator later called it a sign of hope in the confrontation.
Egidius Bickauskas, Lithuania's representative in Moscow, said that a three-member delegation, including Deputy Premier Romualdas Ozolos of Lithuania, was meeting with Alexander N. Yakovlev, a Politburo member recently appointed to Gorbachev's new Presidential Council.
Yakovlev is seen as a key aide to Gorbachev and is considered the
architect of glasnost.
Yakovlev led a parliamentary commission last year that reviewed the secret Soviet-Nazi pact through which the three Baltic republics — Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia — were absorbed into the Soviet Union. The commission's work led the Soviet Congress of People's Deputies in December to condemn the 1939 pact.
Also yesterday:
The Kremlin restricted traffic at Lithuania's Polish border, the republic's only border that does not adjoin Soviet territory.
Poindexter jury sequestered after contact with reporters
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — the judge in John Poindexter's trial disclosed yesterday that two jurors had been contacted by the news media, and he ordered the jury sequestered to avoid further problems.
U. S. District Court Judge Harold Greene said both jurors would remain on the panel because they didn't allow any conversation about the case to take place.
He said of the contacts, "Some now might think this was an obstruction of justice. I will think about that."
Poindexter's lawyer Richard
Beckler said he had no objection to the two jurors staying on the panel.

Poindexter, who was national security adviser to then-President Reagan from late 1985 to November 1986, is charged with conspiring to obstruct Congress, making false statements to lawmakers and obstructing congressional inquiries into the Iran-crush affair.
At the session, it was disclosed that Washington Post reporter Nora Boustany had telephoned juror Leroy Witherspoon at home after Monday's first day of deliberations. Witherspoon said he hung up on her twice.
SOUTH AFRICA PATROLLED: Soldiers and police in armored vehicles yesterday patrolled in Natal province, South Africa, where a week of Black factional fighting has killed scores of people.
Black leader Nelson Mandela said his supporters doubted the neutrality and effectiveness of the security forces.
Armored patrols moved through Edendale Valley in the southeastern province, where a 4-year-old battle for supremacy between two rival Black groups has grown to virtual civil war.
Police said at least 55 people had been killed in the past week. University of Natal researchers put the death toll at 80 and accused Inkatha, a relatively conservative Zulu group, of systematic, coordinated and concerted onslaught
Another police report yesterday said 13 more people had been killed, most of them in Black factional fighting elsewhere in the country, but gave few details.
ECONOMIC GAUGE DROPS: The government's main economic forecasting gauge plunged 1 percent in February, its steepest drop in nine months, the government said yesterday. But analysts said the decrease was misleading.
The Commerce Department said that its latest Index of Leading Economic Indicators, designed to forecast economic activity six to nine months in advance, wiped out three months of increases with the largest decline since a 1.1 percent fall last May.
