2 Blacks die in protests in S. Africa
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Police yesterday clashed with demonstrators protecting living and working conditions in two Black townships, and two Blacks were killed, witnesses said.
Also yesterday, officials blamed guerrillas of the African National Congress for attacks the night before on town offices in Soweto and a power station in Johannesburg. The attacks came less than three weeks before the anti-papal-held ANC was scheduled to begin negotiations with the white-minority government.
Police said they used birdshot, rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse several thousand demonstrators in Sharpeville and Sebokeng. No casualties were reported in Sharpville.
But at least two Blacks were killed and hundreds wounded during the clash in Sebokeng.
Soviet leaflets call for protest against Lithuanian secession
The Associated Press
VILNIUS, U.S.S.R. — Soviet troops occupied another Communist Party building in Lithuania yesterday, and an army helicopter dropped leaflets in the republic's capital, calling for an anti-secession demonstration, reports said.
Lithuanian leaders began talks with the Soviet army about their standoff with Moscow since declaring independence two weeks ago. They disagreed about whether the meeting reduced tension.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said in Moscow that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev reiterated his pledge not to use force except to save lives in the Baltic republic, which declared independence March 11.
Lithuanian Deputy Premier Romualdas Ozolas, one of two officials who met two Soviet military officers yesterday, told reporters: "After coming out of this meeting, I can say the mood has changed. It is evident the conflict will not be escalated."
But Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis was more skeptical after the talks. He said he had not received clear assurances that no more buildings would be built, and that he could help avoid conflict between the military and citizens.
Paratroopers appeared in Vilnius on Sunday at the Higher Party School and the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. Lithuanian officials also reported soldiers at the Vilnius Communist Party headquarters.
FBI arrests New England crime boss
The Associated Press
BOSTON — An FBI sweep through three states yesterday netted New England's top organized-crime boss, culminating a five-year investigation in which investigators taped the Mafia's solemn blood initiation rite, authorities said.
113-count indictments naming 21 alleged mobsters were especially significant for their extensive description of the induction ceremony, said U.S. Attorney
General Dick Thornburgh.

"It should lay to rest once and for all any doubts that the Cosa Nostra is a fragment of law enforcement's imagination." Thornburgh said.
FBI agents fanned out yesterday over Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut to make arrests on a range of charges including murder, racketeering, kidnapping, drug trafficking, gambling, obstruction of justice and witness intimidation.

HONECKER CHARQES: Prosecutors in East Berlin said yesterday that there were no legal grounds for charging Erich Honecker with high treason, but the deposed Communist leader still was under investigation for corruption and abuse of power.
The office of chief prosecutor Hans-Juergen Joseph said two members of Honecker's Fiblotbur, state security chief Erich Mielke and Guenther Mittag, the economics minister, also would escape treason charges. However, like Honecker, they were suspected of corruption and misusing their power.
Treason proceedings were dropped against Joachim Herrmann. Honecker's propaganda member was ordered released.

election in 43 years but not its efficient tabulation of results.
Only 69 percent of the votes cast in Sunday's election were counted by late yesterday.
The state news agency MTI said the conservative Hungarian Democratic Forum led with about one-quarter of the votes, the center-left League of Free Democrats had roughly 20 percent and the Socialists, the new name adopted by the Communists, were a distant fourth after the Independent Smallholders party.
UNREST CONTINUES! Assailants opened fire with submachine guns and rifles on a bus carrying Azerbaijans in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, killing at least one person, a report from Azerbaijan said yesterday.
The assailants were not identified, but the attack followed an attack of violence in the ethnically torn Caucasus region that left at least nine people dead.
Reports from Azerbaijan yesterday also said Armenian nationalists hurled a homemade bomb on an ambulance in the republic.
