Evidence closed to Congress
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has decided to deny congressional approval of legislation that eight members of Congress have been implicated for taking lethal actions.
The decision could spark a possible legal confrontation between the Justice Department and Congress.
Attorney General Benjamin Civilett met with House leaders yesterday and he indicated that his department would oppose handing over the evidence.
Assistant Attorney General Philip Heymann informed the chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee last night that the Justice Department would provide counsel to the commission.
Heymann told Helfin that the Justice Department intended to preserve "the integrity of its own investigation," the source said. The decision appears to have been prompted by a court order.
They're not going to supply anything us, "a source close to Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Howard Helfelt, D-Ala. The source asked not to be involved."
Salvadoreans seize hostages
- Salvador. In two swift raids, high school students occupied the Education Ministry office and the Spanish School. About 1,000 hostages were taken in the ministry raid.
A spokesman for the students at the ministry, whose hostages included Education Minister Eduardo Colaredes, described the occupation as 'peaceful'. He said the approximately 100 youths, aged 13 to 18, were members of the student's Revolutionary Movement. It was not known whether any were armed.
Earlier student reports estimated that there were between 150 and 200 hostages at the ministry. There was no independent confirmation of either those
Members of the leftist Popular Leagues of Feb. 28 group took over the Spanish Embassy at about noon, seizing Ambassador Victor Sanchez Meca and eight other embassy staff members as hostages, sources in the Spanish Embassy said.
Afahan rebel attacks increase
Anti-communist rebels, showing better organization and equipped with heavy weapons, have launched new attacks against Soviet troops in northeast Afghanistan's remote Badakhshan province, infiltrating casualties on the Soviet units there. Western dinomatic sources in India reported yesterday.
The Soviet news agency Tass confirmed an upsurge in attacks since last weekend in Badaidakhan and two other eastern provinces, Nanggarh and Pakta, but its report did not mention Soviet troops, saying instead that Afghan soldiers were "lipidation" the "bandit camps."
The Tass report also described the enemy as "well armed," indicating that the ranged contingents of Moslem tribesmen of just a few weeks ago may be defeated.
In the Afghan capital of Kabul, about 100 shops burned in a major fire early Sunday morning, Western diplomats in New Delhi reported. They said reports were spreading in Kabul that the fire may have been set to cover up a looting spree by Soviet soldiers.
Article questions plant securitu
HARRISHURG, Pa. — A reporter who was hired as a guard at the Three Mile island nuclear plant later gained entry through an unlocked door to the sensitive control room, his newspaper reported yesterday in an article the plant's operators tried to suppress.
The Guide, a Harrisburg area weekly newspaper, printed copyrighted stories about the exploits of cabr reporter Kabiner Paper after a court battle in which he was accused of assaulting a woman.
Kapler said he was hired as an unarmed watchman, a low-level guard who was not supposed to have access to the control room. Even armed guards, who were trained in special equipment,
The Guide published photographs taken by Kajper that were identified as the interior of the control room and an unlocked control room door of Unit 2. Unit 2 was damaged last March in the worst accident in the history of U.S. commercial nuclear power.
Sandy Polen, a spokesman for Metropolitan Edison Co. declined to comment on the newspaper articles, as did Gregg Security Co., the contractor that handles the power lines.
Nuclear transport safety urged
TOPEKA-Rep. Robert Miller, R-Wellington, warned a Kansas Senate committee yesterday that more than 200 truckloads of radioactive waste from Three Mile Island could pass through Iowa along a proposed Interstate 70 route.
Miller urged the Senate Committee on Transportation and Utilities to take a closer look at what the state could do to prevent accidents in the transportation system.
He said that last fall he had been unable to locate any state agency responsible for monitoring the movement of hazardous waste after he discovered that two truckloads of Three Mile Island waste already had been shipped through Kansas.
The lawmaker pledged support for a bill to coordinate efforts in case of accidents during transportation of radioactive waste, but urged the committee to take immediate action.
Ads pushing Dole in Northeast
The Kansas senator also will be taking full-up-fare ads in 12 newspapers and running campaign spots on six television stations in Massachusetts, Maine and Wisconsin.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican presidential hopeful Robert Dell, cellarier in the political podium, has launched a large advertising campaign to revitalize New York's economy.
At a news conference, Arthur Kurlanski, president of Western Advertising, said Dole would be airing, between 30 and 40 radio ads on 17 different New York stations.
One of the newspaper ads has a banner which reads, "Yes, New Hampshire there is a Bob Dole." The ad goes on to talk about how hard Dole has been in the job.
Dole registered less than 1 percent of the vote in the latest poll.
Rock Island lines get bidders
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, known as Katy, has submitted a bid to purchase all of the Rock Island line running north-north through Oklahoma and a portion of the east-west line running from EI Reno, Okla., to McAlester, Okla., officials said.

Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebase, R-Kan, submitted a bill that would create a $150 million government fund for loans to railroads interested in buying parts of the Rock Island system. The loans would be secured by redeemable preference shares of the purchasing railroad's stock.

SANTA FE, N.M.-Frightened inmates yesterday described to investigators the tortures and mutilations they saw during the 38 hours of rioting at the New Mexico Penitentiary. Prison officials segregated them because they could not intimidate potential witnesses.
Mutilation tales unfold after riot
From the Kansan's Wire Services
Assistant District Attorney Dick Baker said inmates who were willing to talk so far became an asset in the fight against a killing a guy and then throwing him over a balcony. I saw people hanging. There were
James Weston, state medical examiner, said some of the 33 bodies examined by his staff had been mutilated, but he could not determine whether inmates had been tortured.
"They told me they were scared to death," he said. "They realized that it didn't take a whole lot of emotion for people to kill each other."
Weston confirmed that one inmate had been decapitated and that another arrived with a rod through his head. He said he thought both incidents occurred after death.
"I would say the injuries indicated there was a great deal of rage," he said at a news conference in New York on Friday, not so much multitation per se. It's more what we would call overkill. They inflicted a lot of pain and even wounded
He said multifacies were confirmed in a minority of cases, but most of the dead had been heaten and stabbed.
Weston said the gymnasium and one dormitory at the prison remained sealed
because they were so badly damaged by fire. As soon as firemen say the buildings are safe to enter, he said, forensic an-ology experts in it to sift through rubble for more bodies.
State police said the official death count stood at 33, down from earlier figures as high as 39. The vacillating figure probably was a hoax. One of some bodies, Warden Jerry Griffin said.
Fifteen prisoners were still missing and officials feared the death count would surpass the 43 killed in the nation's worst prison riot, the 1971 uprising at Attica, N.Y.
AT LEAST 89 persons were injured in the bloody takeover.
Retribution against inmate informants—"snitches" in prison slang—and was said to be one of the chief motives in the weekend rioting.
Correction officials said many of the inmates were high on drugs. One inmate, who had looted the prison hospital for drugs ranging from tranquilizer to insulin, others sniffed glue and alcohol.
PRESENSON WERE interviewed before they were to be placed on military cargo planes and transferred to other penal institutions around the nation.
Leavenworth was designated as the classification point for scores of prisoners who were being shipped out to other institutions and county tails.
Mark Luttrill, spokesman for the pentagon, said some inmates flew to Kauai City last night and were bused to Leavenworth. He did not know how many
would pass through, nor did he know how many would stay at Leavenworth.
"We're not planning on keeping several hundred. We're a receiving point. We’re going to be processing and then sending them to our office. We’ll be keeping a few here," Lalait said.
MIKA EUN, public information officer for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said the prisoners would be classified by escape risk and how dangerous they were.
Lattrell said that Leavenworth was holding slightly under 1,000 inmates.
"We're not overcrowded at Leavenworth," he said. "We don't anticipate keeping so many that it would be probable.
"We don't anticipate any disruption. Regardless of the numbers, we can handle it."
He said since prisoners coming from New Mexico State would be on hold status, they would not be allowed to intermingle with the current population.
"We feel confident that the precautions we're taking will be adequate," he said.
