Landsbergis referendum defeated by low turnout in Lithuania
In Vilnius Lithuania preliminary results show a landslide of support among those who voted but turnout fell short of needed levels. About 57 percent of ballots favored Landsbergis plan yet turnout failed to reach the required threshold of half the eligible 2.4 million voters. The chairman had framed the plebiscite as a test of government popularity and a push to withdraw Soviet troops, with a possible second referendum hinted for June 14.

Memorial Day Observances Mixed as Parades Dwindle
Memorial Day around the United States featured varied observances. In New York City a Manhattan parade was canceled for lack of interest, while a small ceremony was planned at the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument. Chicago did not schedule a large parade this year, and in Maine hundreds of AIDS activists were expected to join a local event in Kennebunkport as President Bush vacationed nearby. Grafton marked the day with a 125 year old graves-decorating tradition as 1,200 youngsters prepared to honor veterans at the national cemetery. Unseasonably cold weather dampened activities across the Midwest and Northeast, with campers at Indiana Beach bracing for the chill.
