Cold eve cast toward wage freeze
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—El Salvador's U.S.-backed junta has extended a price and wage freeze for six months despite harsh complaints by businessmen and farmers that the junta is driving the country into bankruptcy.
The ruling military-civilian junta announced that a price and wage freeze adopted in February and due to expire yesterday had been extended for another six months despite stiff opposition inside and outside the government.
"Iincreases in salaries, benefits and prices would be inconvenient because it would provoke the closing of many businesses and the massive dismissals of workers."
Businessmen and farmers immediately jumped on the decision, saying it was another example of the junta's "gross mismanagement" of the bank. The board agreed to accept the loan.
"This will be in a catastrophe for the national economy," said the Association of Cotton Growers, one of the most conservative farmers in EL Salvador.
"We are worried by the sharp deterioration in all sectors of the national economy... all due to the so-called reforms and the lack of proper policies."
El Salvador's private sector has blamed most of the nation's economic lili on the disruption caused by a string of junta reforms such as the nationalization of large farms, private banks and exports of coffee, sugar and cotton.
Mitterrand clarifies French policy
PARIS—President Francois Mitterrand said yesterday that despite U.S. concern over his surrender our Commands and the cabinet, he told Vice President Obama to French officials.
In an interview in the French newspaper Le Monde, Mitterrand also said he had "serious doubts about U.S. policy in Central America and Paris," his impassioned policy memoir.
Mitterrand, clarifying for the first time his June 24 talks with Bush in Paris praised the efforts of not pressuring him over inclusion of Iran's nuclear program in his cabinet.
He characterized Bush as constructive and sympathetic and said Washington's only pressure was to announce a announcement saying the United States would be affected by the Commission.
"I would not label as pressure the opinion which foreign countries could have of us and our choices, particularly if they are friendly countries," the MoU said.
Mitterrand stressed there is no danger to French security since he holds the highest power in Europe, and his allies will "will maintain a firmly control all that touches the security" of France.
"I have serious reservations on the policy of the United States in Central America," Mitterrand told Le Monde. "It's not a matter of Communist subversion but the refusal of misery and degradation. . . When they cry for help, I hope Costa Castro will not be the only one to hear them."
Mitterrand also repeated France's complaint against high American interest rates, calling for "a coherent international monetary system and a sound financial framework."
Zen admits guilt in U.K. bomb hoax
LONDON—Ronald Zen, an American who believes he is the recircation of Jesus Christ, pleased guilty yesterday to send a fake bomb to Queen Elizabeth and plotting to kill Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on their wedding day.
Zen, 42, an unemployed draftsman from New York, also admitted that he threatened to blow up 100 lion bank.
London magistrate Ronald Bartle ordered Zen to be held in custody for weeks' psychiatric reports. Police said the government was preparing a report.
Zen, who changed his name from Ronald Rosario Rampolla when he joined a Zen Buddhist sect last year, was arrested May 30, but prosecuting attorney Clineu Cleugh said Zen had "neither the capacity nor the intention to carry out the threats," which were made to gain publicity for the sect.
Cleugh said Zen sincerely believes he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and Buddha, and had embarked on a worldwide trip to preach the evils of
Zen, wearing a crumpled denim jacket and jeans, remained silent except to say that he had "no objections" to further psychiatric examinations.
The prosecution said Zen sent a padded envelope to the queen May 6 containing a picture of a bomb, a balloon marked with the word "boom," a box filled with melted soap intended to look like gunpowder and a burned one-pound note.
The package was intercepted by postal authorities because Zen had written on the back "this is a bomb to blow the queen to hell."
On the same day, Zen was said to send a letter to Time magazine in London threatening to kill Charles and his flame on their wedding day, July 16.
Five days later, the prosecution said, Zen telephoned a branch of the Midland Bank and threatened to set fire to it along with 100 other London banks.
Budget trimmed by several billion
WASHINGTON — A new look at the administration's budget work so far is "several billion dollars," Treasury Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday.
He said the deficit should be in the "area" of $1) to $22 billion instead of the $55 billion originally predicted by the White House.
The biggest change in initial projections was caused by the administration's decision to move the tax cut it proposed back from July 1 to at least August 30.
He also said the administration is sticking by its forecast that interest rates will decline to the single-digit level by the end of next year. He voiced some frustration with the continuing "skepticism" of Wall Street about budget cuts and rossness against inflation.
"The international markets seem to have more faith in us than our own markets," Regan said. "Witness the price of gold. Witness the strength of the demand."
Handicapped start on daring climb
PARADISE, Wash. —Ten handicapped people began a climb up
the ice in Antarctica on American and U.N. flags on top of
the 14-foot camp site on the Fourth of July.
"It started out a little cloudy this morning, but the sun broke through and the kids were really psyched to go up," said David Wiss. an organizer of the clinic.
The handcapped group—six blind, two deaf, one who lost a leg in Vietnam and the 10,000 people at the 10,000 foot level of the fifth highest peak in the 48 contiguous states.
Phil Ehsler, a mountain climber from Bellevue, Wash., said conditions on Rainier were markedly improved from a week ago last Sunday when a massive icefall killed 11 people in the nation's worst mountainering accident.
The handcapped climbers plan to camp tonight on Ingraham Flats, at the 11.20-foot level, not far from the scene of the fatal avalanche.
But park service officials said the freezing level was down to 11,000 feet and the avalanche hazard would be minimal above that altitude. The forecasters say it will remain below 6 percent.
Swim team will merge; Kempf to replace Spahn
The Jayhawk swimming teams will sport a streamlined look next season, according to Phyllis Howlett, assistant coach in charge of non-revenue snorkels.
By CHRIS TODD Staff Reporter
HOWLETT SAID yesterday that the men's and women's teams would be combined into one team that would practice, travel and compete together.
Howlett also said that Gary Kemp, former coach of the women's program, would take over the head coaching duties of the combined teams next year.
Kempf will replace Bill Spahn, who resigned last month to take over the head coaching duties at the University of New Mexico.
"We came to this decision after surveying the programs that have combined at other schools," said Howlett. "We found out that combining the programs will be much more economical and convenient, although some of the meets may get a little long."
KEMPF, A FORMER member of the Jayhawk swim team, has been head coach of the women's team for the past five years. During that time, Kempf has guided the team to five straight Big Eight Conference championships.
Kemp said he was looking forward to coaching the combined team and that the new arrangement would allow for better coordination.
"I really don't see any disadvantages to combining the two programs," Kempt said. "I love best of the team members because the men and women are also
In 1980, the women's swim team finished 22nd nationally, and seven Jayhawk swimmers earned All-America status.
"The teams should really do well next year," Kemp said. "I think they'll have a lot of fun, working and traveling together."
Ron Neugen, Wichita junior ann... member of last year's men's team, said that while he was pleased with the selection of Kempf as coach, he was not so pleased with the combination of the two teams.
KEMPF ALSO SAID that both teams have the potential to place high in the Biz Eight Conference next season.
integrated in AAU competition, which most of the team members took part in when they were younger."
"I would rather have a separate coach for each program," said Neuguet. "I just don't think that the coach will be able to devote as much time to each team. I'm sure it will work well, but it'll be to a lot different."
JENNIFER WAGSTAFF, a Shawnee mission sophomore who gained All America honors as a Jayhawk swimmer forward to the combined team format.
"I think I'm really going to like it," said Wagstaff. "I don't think it will dilute the program that much because you'll have the assistant coaches around.
