FBI solves Salvadoran murders
NEW YORK—The FBI has conclusive evidence that six members of the Salvadoran National Guard were involved in the slaying on December 10 of a young woman, an unidentified suspect.
The six National Guard members will be arrested by Salvadoran authorities this week, CBS said, citing diplomatic sources.
Earlier it had been reported that the FBI had fingerprints — found on the microbus of the four American women were driving when they were killed— and the FBI could track them.
Evidence discovered recently is "even more conclusive," CBS said, although it did not say what that evidence was.
The Reagan administration, which is backing the Salvadoran junta with military and economic aid in its fight against leftist guerrillas, has brought intense pressure on Salvadoran president Jose Napoleon Duarte to arrest the National Guardmen involved in the murders.
Duarte had been told by the administration, the sources said, that failure to solve the case could legitimize future American aid.
The sources said Secretary of State Alexander Haig would send a message to the Salvadoran government this week emphasizing the need for urgent action.
IRA hunger-striker gains support
BELFAST, Northern Ireland —About 20,000 people marched through Belfast yesterday to show support for IRA hunt-rister Bobby Sinks in the fight against terrorism.
Catholic activist Bernadette Devlin McAliskey warned the British would be driven "to the boats" if he died.
McAlliskey is recovering from an assassination attempt, also called for a general strike in the Irish Republic in support of Sand's 57-day prison sentence.
Sandis, 27, who was elected to Britain's Parliament April 9, was reported near death at the Maze Prison, where he is serving 14 years for firearms
"The demands of the hunger strikers are just and are easily granted." McLiskey told the crowd, which earlier had marched through the city's Campus Center.
In London, police arrested 43 pro-Sanders protesters at two demonstrations, one of them outside the No. 10 Downing Street residence of Prime Minister
Members of Britain's Parliament were warned to be on their guard against letter bombs after one lawmaker received a parcel bomb.
The Belfast march snaked its way through the riot-scarred Catholic district behind a giant banner that read "Day 57 Hunger Strike," while police clashed with protesters.
Missing black may be 27th victim
ATLANTA—Police withheld a decision yesterday, possibly for another day, on whether to add the disappearance of a slight 21-year-old man to the list of 26 young blacks who have been slain or disappeared over the last 21 months.
Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown expressed concern, however, about the disappearance Wednesday of Jimmy Ray Payne because of his small size and the fact that he lived in the same area as some of the other victims.
All of the victims have been black and from poor neighborhoods and all but two have been males.
The 26 cases being investigated by the special police task force involve either children or slightly built men. Twenty-five of the victims have been found slain, and one, 10-year-old Darron Glass, is missing. Glass disappeared Sept. 14, 1980.
Police spokesman Roger Harris said yesterday that he had spoken to Brown and Deputy Police Chief Morris Reading, who heads the massive task force looking into the murders, and that Payne's case was still under the jurisdiction of the department's missing persons detail.
Meanwhile, volunteers searched an area of southwest Atlanta Saturday looking for clues to the disappearances of Pavne and Glass.
Polish union drafts new labor law
WARSAW, Poland—Poland's independent union, Solidarity, reached agreement yesterday with government negotiators on the draft of a new labor law reflecting the deep social changes in the Communist nation that were brought about by last summer's strikes.
The draft, worked out over six months by a Solidarity team led by union chief Lech Walesa, a Parliamentary commission and representatives of the professional unions, will be sent to the council of state and published nationwide for public discussion, the official news agency PAP said.
"The draft hill is the result of a compromise." PAP said. "Some problems have not been agreed on so a couple of variants have been proposed."
In addition, "working group" talks between Solidarity and the government on various specific issues are to continue, and full-scale joint policy discussions are planned.
Solidarity sources said, "On the whole the outcome of the two-day session this weekend was positive."
In talks Saturday, the negotiators agreed on the clause that would allow registration of a rural Solidarity farmers' union.
In the northeastern town of Suwali, local Solidarity and government representatives signed an agreement yesterday to turn a police station into a hospital and to allow other social organizations to use local Communist party headquarters.
Regan criticizes alternative budget
WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary Regan said yesterday that the alternative budget approved by the House Budget Committee represented "slight-of-hand economics" that proposed more taxes and government spending than the administration's plan.
Lobbying for President Reagan's economic recovery program at the American Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting, Reagan said the House budget proposal recommended higher spending, higher levels of tax revenue and smaller tax cuts than the administration advocated.
During the next 10 days, the Senate and House are expected to vote on the economic proposals that the administration claims are vital to restoring wage growth.
in the Democrat-controlled House, the Budget Committee approved an alternative budget that restored about $8 billion to programs like social welfare and transportation. Its authors claim the alternative budget will cut taxes and spend almost in half, a selling point to conservatives eager to balance the budget.
Rogan told reporters yesterday that the administration was confident it could defeat the Democratic proposal on the floor with still another alteration, which he said by Rep. Phil Gramm, D-Texas, and Rep. Delbert Latta, R-Ohio—that another $6 million from the administration's original proposals.
Japanese town shuts down reactor
"All nuclear power plants must immediately cease operation and undergo checks," Koichi Takagi said.
TURSUGA, Japan—The mayor of a small fishing town where 79 workers have been contaminated in two nuclear plant leaks this year and yesterday are under investigation.
The mayor, who had just returned from a tour of nuclear power plants in France and Britain, spoke after the operators at the Tsuruga plant admitted 23 workers were exposed to high-level radiation during clean-up operations from a leak in January.
"The construction of a second nuclear reactor is out of the question," the mayor said, referring to a request from the plant operators to expand operations at the facility, located about 225 miles from Tokyo on the Sea of Japan.
The Japan Nuclear Power Co. announced that the plant's enriched nuclear active waste storage tanks sprang three leaks in January, exposing 23 cleaning personnel to radioactivity as high as 92 milirams a day, just under the maximum safety level of 100 per day.
The company admitted last week that the plant had covered up leakage and radiation contamination of 56 workers in early March.
Officials deny embargo lift was political
By BRAD STERTZ Staff Reporter
The Reagan administration has insisted that the lifting of the Soviet grain embargo last week was not timed on a political clock.
Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum,
however, said yesterday that politics
played a big part in the decision to
make the move at this time.
"It was partly done by the administration, from a political standpoint, in order to gain Midwestern support for a farm bill that will probably be liked by many far-away states." *Reagan* knows that by lifting the embargo at this time it could make that bill look a lot better.
"I'm sure that politics was at least one part of the reasoning to lift the embargo now, but it was not the only motive."
KASSEBAUM SAID THAT the administration also picked this time because, from an economic standpoint, farming is a spring harvest in six weeks to a month.
Another reason behind the timing, she said, was because any further delay would probably harm future grain negotiations with the Soviet Union.
"It was important to get it behind us once and for all," Kassebu said. "All that it would have done any further, would have been to cause a dislocation of American grain in the world market which would hinder any future grain negotiations."
Just after the announcement was made that the embargo were lifted.
Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. warned the Soviets that any invasion of Poland would lead to a total embargo by the United States.
going to the Soviets," she said. "I think that it is simply a much better way to do it because the total impact that it would be more damage to the Soviets.
EVEN THOUGH THAT kind of an embargo would again place a trade limit on Kansas wheat, Kassabum and an embargo was acceptable to her.
"With a total embargo, everything that we export would be stopped from
Kassebaum said that the Carter-enacted grain embargo did not work because it was too easy for the Soviets to work around it.
"It really was not limiting the Soviets in their movements in Afghanistan or
Poland because the Soviets were able to increase their grain imports from other countries, "Kassbaum said. 'In that we have a failure for Carter in putting it on.'"
OTHER FACTORS for the grain embargo's failure, she said, was that the Soviets simply worked around the problems that it caused in tandem with a severe drought that damaged Soviet crops.
NASA engineer speaks about shuttle
By BOB MOEN Staff Reporter
NASA for 18 years, said.
The Columbia space shuttle eventually will be recognized as the Model T of space travel, a KU graduate who is instrument in the shuttle program said in a video.
Dean Grimm, a 1958 aeronautical engineering graduate, was in charge of testing and developing equipment aboard the first shuttle for the National Aeronautic Space Administration. He spoke at the Engineering Exposition banquet in the Kansas Union.
As the music "Blue Danube" from the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" filtered into the room from the nearby backyard, Grimm said that the Model T had put the United States ahead of the Soviet Union in the space race. "From the standpoint of technology and in terms of the capability of weight it can carry, the Model T would launch quickly, we are ahead of the Russians," Grimm, who has been at
Although for 15 years the Soviets have been using reusable booster rockets on the launch, which was used by NASA for the first time, the Soviets can not put the large weight in orbit that the shuttle can.
BUT GRIMM SAID, the shuttle must exploit space for peaceful uses only.
As assistant director of testing and development at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Grimm said NASA had not 'built anything special in the department of spacecraft' at the Department of Defense, which has great military interest in the shuttle.
Although the defense department has their own people at Houston, he said, they will soon move to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado.
Grimm outlined the peaceful uses of the shuttle in a slide show that included a Space Operation Center, which he called his Pony Express waystation in 1905. He also made use by six shuttle runs possibly by the mid-1900s and would provide a habitable
station for people.
ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT for the future is a huge solar power satellite that could beam power down to earth. The satellite's dimensions would be about six miles long and three miles wide.
Grimm also showed rare film footage of the shuttle pilots, John Young and Boe Crippen, and views from the Bock landing space craft launched, orbited and landed.
Watching the show with about 60 other people was Stalaf Feldman, who is the co-founder of the project.
The Wichita freshman later said that she talked to Young on the telephone after the flight and that he described it as "fun."
During his first 10 years at NASA, Grimm said he designed lunar module crew stations and the lunar landing vehicle. He also responsible for training the crews.
"In '63, I gave John Young his first indoctrination briefing as an astronaut," he recalled.
