Soviets limit Gorbachev's powers The Associated Press MOSCOW — President Mkailh S. Gorbachev to criticize of his constitutional reforms yesterday, saying that he will accept tighter controls on power and try to accommodate republics clamoring for more autonomy. Gorbachev, acknowledging the political give-and-take forming in the freer atmosphere he has fostered, told the Supreme Soviet, or parliament that, 'Our own socialist system of 'checks and balances' is taking shape in this country, designed to protect society from any violations of socialist legality at the highest state level." During its three-day session, the Supreme Soviet is considering a package of almost 120 articles of legislation, first published five weeks ago, that Gorbachev says are the first major step toward a political system based on law, not central dictate. But the draft laws faced stiff criticism that they actually strengthen the presidency, which Gorbachev assumed on Oct. 1, against the legis- and strengthen Moscow's power against that of the 15 Soviet republics. The unprecedented criticism of the proposed legislation was highlighted by the Estonian republic's Nov. 16 declaration of sovereignty" over all fire and its demand to review all new laws. Several Supreme Soviet deputies, including two top officials from the Baltic republics, registered dissatisfaction yesterday with elements of the reform. Arnold Rulet, the Estonian president, said that Surremise Soviet deputies only received copies of the letter on Thursday. They have not been published. But Gorbachev, detailing some of the changes to the 1,500 Supreme Soviet members, said, "It is obvious all of the provisions of the bills of such not formulated precisely enough and caused quite a few critical remarks." Charges against North upheld The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The judge in the iran-conflict case yesterday upheld two of the central charges against Oliver L. North. But dismissed the third as a "purely cumulative count" that would only confuse jurors. U. S. District Judge Gerhard A. Guesse refused to dismiss the two charges of conspiracy to defraud the government and theft of government property against the former National Security Council aide that arose from the diversion of U.S.-Iran arms-sale proceeds to the Nicaragua rebels. "The indictment alleges a conspiracy which involved concealing the very existence of the profits of the enterprise from the start and hiding from Congress information relating to the conspirators' assistance for the Contras." Gessell said. News Roundup U. N.
