USSR's fate hangs in balance
Soviet citizens decide future
MOSCOW (AP) — Millions of
people voted Sunday in a land-
mam referendum on whether to
the
preserve
fracturing So
viet Union.
Violence pre
vented some
people from
casting bal
lots, while
others were
lured to the
polls with
scarce goods.

Mikhail Gorba
chev predicts vic
tory for the first
referendum in So
viet history.
tory was not only the fate of this
vast country and its more than
100 ethnic groups but also the fu
ture of Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The Soviet president lobbied
heavily for approval and pre
dicted victory in the referendum,
which asks citizens whether they
want to stay together in a re
newed federation.
No results were immediately
available from the vote, but pub
lic opinion polls indicated it
would pass, giving Gorbachev
the popular mandate he seeks to
crack down on separatists.
He has been pushing for the
referendum since December to
bypass democratically elected
legislatures in the republics that
he contends are dominated by
nationalist extremists.
Gorbachev wanted to appeal
directly to the people to restore
national unity shattered by
sometimes violent ethnic, legal
and political disputes.
The country, however, is al
ready so divided that six of the
15 Soviet republics, or 10 percent
of the 200 million eligible voters,
refused to vote in the referen
dum.
Violence in Moldavia on Sun
day reflected the fractures.
Hundreds of nationalist Mold
avians, aided by police, enforced
a local boycott by blocking access
to the seven polling stations the
Red Army set up in the repub
lic's capital, Kishinev, according
to Associated Press correspon
dent Dan Petreanu. The nation
alists beat up ethnic Russians
and Ukrainians who tried to
vote. No serious injuries were
reported.
Moldavia is among the six re
publics whose parliament de
cided not to holci a referendum.
The others are the Baltic repub
lics of Lithuania, Latvia and Es
tonia, plus the Caucasus repub-
'Ge
lies of Georgia and Armenia.
A smiling Gorbachev declared
himself confident of victory as he
voted near his home in south
west Moscow.
He told reporters the issue
was larger than his political fu
ture.
"It is the fate of the people, of
hundreds of peoples, of such a
great state, and if you will, the
fate of civilization/' said the So
viet leader, as his wife, Raisa,
stood at his side.
The referendum, a lead-up to
approval of a new Union Treaty
that would delegate more power
to the republics, asks: "Do you
consider it necessary to preserve
the Union of Soviet Socialist Re
publics as a renewed federation
of eaual, sovereign republics in
whicn human rights and free
doms of any nationality (people
of all ethnic groups) will be fully
guaranteed?^
Yugoslavs await army's role
Albanians
President hopes for backing
ugosiavia (AF) — a tense Yugo-
slavia waited Sunday for a sign as to whether the
military would intervene to help Serbia's hard
line Communist leadership hold the troubled na
tion together by force.
The army, seeking to quash reports that the
military was divided over whether to support Ser
bian President Slobodan Milosevic, declared Sun
day that it was "completely united." Reports,
however, indicated the armed forces remained di
vided on whether to back Milosevic.
There were indications that military officials
were meeting, but no further statements were is
sued. There were no signs of increased military
activity.
Also Sunday, the main opposition Serbian Re
newal Movement renewed its call for the resigna
tion of Milosevic's Socialist government, the re
named Serbian Communists.
The opposition party has been backing daily
protests oy tens of thousands of anti-Communist
demonstrators in the last week. It blames the gov
ernment for violence at a rally on March 9 that left
two people dead and 120 injured when police and
protesters clashed.
The country was pushed to the brink of a mili
tary crackdown after Serbia, the country's largest
republic, announced Saturday that it no longer
recognized federal authority because Yugoslavia's
executive branch — the federal presidency — re
fused to impose a nationwide state of emergency.

attempt to induce the army to back his efforts to
apt
hold Yugoslavia together with a strong Commu
nist government in Belgrade.
The republics of Slovenia and Croatia want the
nation dissolved into a loose confederation of sov
ereign states and have threatened secession if
they don't get it.
The presidency theoretically commands the
military, but the army is dominated by Serbian of
ficers and is generally sympathetic to Milosevic.
But there is dissent in Croatia also. On Satur
day, leaders of ethnic Serbs living in the Krajia re
gion announced their secession from Croatia and
mobilized their own reservists.
"We will not allow any secession of the so-
called Krajina region from Croatia," the republic's
president, Franjo Tudjman, responded.
Redistricting worries House
WASHINGTON (AP) — Every
10 years, U.S. House members
become nervous spectators as
their district lines are redrawn by
state legislators back home to re
flect population shifts.
At least this time, the federal
lawmakers are not sitting idly.
Some have been donating
money to the campaigns of the
people in whose hands their dis
trict boundaries rest.
While it is not unusual for
members of Congress to make
occasional election-time dona
tions to their state counterparts,
this is a time when the members
of Congress have a stake in the
outcome.
"I don't think there's anything
wrong with them paying extra
attenhon. Every elected official is
out there trying to survive," said

dent pro tern of the Pennsylva

VIENNA, Austria (AP) -
Communist Albania freed 42 po
litical prisoners Sunday from its
most notorious labor camp, but
opposition activists said the gov
ernment has not fully met its
pledge to release all political
prisoners.
Albania had billed the release
as a fulfillment of its promise last
week to free all political prison
ers from the jails in which hun
dreds, maybe thousands of gov
ernment opponents died during
46 years of Stalinist rule.
The release came amid reports
of renewed clashes between po
lice and citizens flocking to the
port of Durres after hearing ru
mors they could board ferries for
Italy.
Albanian radio, monitored by
the British Broadcasting Corp.,
reported "confrontations" be
tween police and Albanians who
flockeu to Durres on Friday and
Saturday.
Gene Polio, a spokesman for
the opposition Democratic Party,
confirmed that there were cas
ualties, but he had no details.
After 20,000 Albanians fled re
cently to Italy across the Adriatic
Sea, authorities declared Durres
port a military zone to halt the
exodus.
Authorities had said 123 politi
cal prisoners would be released
this weekend. In addition to the
42 prisoners from Burrel, repu
tedly Albania's harshest prison
81 were to have been released
from various prisons throughout
the Balkan nation.
A Westerner who witnessed
the release of the Burrel prison
ers, speaking on condition of an
onymity, said the freed men told
of 26 remaining political prison
ers who had gone on a hunger
strike to demand their freedom
Arben Puto, a leader of the Fo
rum for the Defense of Human
Rights, Albania's first human
rignts group, has said the 120 are
serving sentences for espionage
and sabotage but that his group
is convincea they are innocent
