Gambling reservations erupt in Indian violence

ST. REGIS INDIAN RESERVATION, N.Y. (AP) Factional fighting between Mohawk bands who disagree over whether gambling should be allowed sent hundreds of residents fleeing the reservation straddling the U.S.Canada border. The St. Regis Mohawk Reservation had the look of a war zone Friday. Burned cars lined the roads, many buildings had bullet holes or broken windows and residents, including children, were armed with guns or baseball bats. Gov. Mario Cuomo so far has refused to send New York State Police or National Guardsmen to restore order, despite pleas from one Indian leader and some out-

siders. “WE WANT THIS situation resolved,” Cuomo said. “We’re working very hard to figure out how to do it. I think what we’ve done so far, what the state police have done so far, has been appropriate.” Residents of the reservation just south of the St. Lawrence River have been divided for months over the presence of gambling casinos and bingo halls on the American side that draw thousands of non-In-dian visitors. The U.S. government has declared the gambling halls illegal, but the Mohawks don’t recognize federal or state jurisdiction on the reservation.

Moscow again rejects Lithuania talks

MOSCOW (AP) The Kremlin again rebuffed Lithuania’s attempts to open formal talks on the republic’s independence drive, and Lithuania’s deputies in the Supreme Soviet legislature resigned, according to news reports. Lithuania’s Vilnius Radio, monitored by the British Broadcasting Corp, in London on Friday night, quoted Bronius Kuzmickas, the deputy chairman of Lithuania’s Supreme Council legislature, as saying that a parliamentary delegation had met with some high-ranking officials in Moscow. BUT THE OFFICIALS reiterated President Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s position that no talks with the government would take place unless Lithuania halts its drive for independence, the radio said. In Moscow Saturday, the national Supreme Soviet heard a formal resignation by Lithuanian deputies and a declaration by Estonian deputies

IN RECENT WEEKS, the feud has exploded into violence, with gambling opponents setting up armed blockades of roads leading to the reservation and sounds of gunfire nightly. Pro-gambling Mohawks tore down the blockades in a bloody battle Tuesday night. On Thursday night, four opponents of gambling were injured, one seriously, when they were beaten with baseball bats. Authorities said another person, an observer invited by antigambling forces, was missing. Amid further violence, about 400 evacuees were taken on barges Friday to Cornwall, Ontario, where they were housed overnight in an army transport center.

that they would suspend their membership until Moscow began formal talks with their republic on independence, Soviet television reported. Estonian deputies hold 13 places in the 542member Supreme Soviet. Lithuanian deputies, who have attended only as observers since their republic declared independence on March 11, held 15 places. THE SOVIET UNION annexed Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia in 1940. The parliament of Estonia has voted to become independent at an unspecified later date, and Latvia is scheduled to vote on the issue next week. Lithuanian Prime Minister Kazimiera Prunskiene said her government still hopes to begin talks without backing off independence decisions, but it is considering a proposed temporary freeze on secessionist actions as the maximum concession it might offer Moscow. “This is a compromise which should be

About 5,000 Mohawks live in the Canadian sector of the reservation and authorities estimated that at least 2,000 will be evacuated POLICE SAID THE reservation was quiet Friday night. But this weekend the casinos are to reopen for the first time since the roadblocks were removed, and authorities feared violence would flare anew. Mike Mitchell, chief of the Canadian Mohawk Council, said he decided to evacuate women, children and the elderly from the reservation Friday because of the previous trouble. “Everybody was in a state of fear,” Mitchell said. “I couldn’t see another night of putting people

viewed as the maximum. This is the limit,” she told a Friday night news conference, according to the Soviet news agency Tass. Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis has said the republic’s legislature, the Supreme Council, will consider the freeze proposal, which came from the leaders of France and Germany. The legislature is scheduled to reconvene Wednesday. A SOVIET FOREIGN Ministry spokesman in Moscow, Vadim Perfiliev, said Friday he had no official reaction to the French and German suggestion. Lithuania wants an immediate dialogue, Landsbergis said Friday, and “a termination of the Soviet economic blockade against Lithuania would be beneficial to the atmosphere of this dialogue.” The Kremlin has imposed a blockade on gas, oil and other supplies to Lithuania.

Hubble trouble or not, astronauts to return on Sunday

SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) The Hubble Space Telescope’s high-speed antennas remained idle early Saturday because of a malfunction, but the Discovery astronauts were packing their gear and preparing for landing Sunday. While the telescope’s big eye was open, Hubble remained in a “safe mode” with all motion stopped because of earlier problems in linking the dish antennas with a relay satellite. The antennas are the primary links for relaying scientific data to the ground. CONTROLLERS AT the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., hoped to get the antennas working again this morning, but it will take another day before the $1.5 billion telescope is operating normally, said Hubble deputy project manager Jean Oliver. “We’re backing up to a very deliberate and slow and careful approach to these problems,” Oliver said Friday. “This is not the time to do anything dumb.” The telescope problems have put the flight center several days behind, but the five astronauts who deployed it earlier this week were sticking to their schedule. Landing is scheduled for 9:48 a.m. EDT Sunday at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. MISSION CONTROL awakened crew members at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday by playing the song, “Cosmos.”

through that. ... Violence all night, machine gunfire ... every five minutes gunfire all over the village.” SECURITY WAS tight on a bridge across the Canadian border leading to Cornwall. Local police armed with shotguns stopped cars leaving and entering the bridge, asking for identification and searching suspicious vehicles for weapons. Cornwall Constable Scott Hanton said police had heard reports that weapons might be smuggled into the evacuation center. “We’re in a heck of a situation,” he said. “We don’t have any jurisdiction on the reservation, and we’re stuck in the middle of it.”

“Thanks for the wake-up music, it’s pretty appropriate for today,” said Commander Loren Shriver. The astronauts were to finish up their experiments and photography today and pack for the trip home. They also planned to hold a news conference from space with reporters at the Johnson Space Center. SHRIVER AND PILOT Charles Bolden were to run through a series of tests to make certain the shuttle’s computers and control jets were ready for return to Earth. The crew deployed Hubble on Wednesday but they had stayed close to the telescope in case there was trouble opening the aperture door. Mission specialists Bruce McCandless and Kathryn Sullivan were prepared to perform a space walk today to crank it open in orbit 380 miles above Earth. But that proved unnecessary when the door was opened Friday morning, exposing the telescope’s finely polished 94.5-inch eye to starlight for the first time. TWO OF HUBBLE’S four position-stabilizing gyroscopes stopped working when the door opened, but engineers later got them back on line. A colleague, Steve Terry, said Hubble’s systems were set at conservative limits for the first operations and that caused many malfunctions. There also were two communications outages totaling several hours.
