U.S. lifts sanctions against Chile
WASHINGTON—The State Department announced yesterday it would reverse the Carter administration's human rights-oriented "contraventational" approach to deporting asylum seekers.
John Bushnell, acting chief of the State Department's Latin American policy bureau, defended the Reagan administration's controversial decision to rescind the trade and military sanctions imposed on Chile in connection with 787 murder of former Chilean diplomat Orlando Leiteier in Washington.
In the case of Chile, we believe that our interests, including human rights, are best served by a less confrontational approach than is chosen in the United States.
Bushmell told the House Inter-American Affairs Subcommittee that many countries have refused to acknowledge improvements in Chile's human rights climate and have made the country a victim of "blatant double standards."
Official denies U.S. combat role
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-Defense Minister Jose Guillermo Garcia said yesterday that under no circumstances would American troops join in the war with Honduras.
At the same time, President Jose Napoleon Duarte said statements that the United States would become involved in another Vietnam-type war in El Salvador.
"This notion is the work of the extreme left to try and generate among the American people an attitude against the support that the United States could give in behalf of democracy in El Salvador," Duarte told radio station WRHC in Miami.
Garcia said at a news conference that the Salvadoran armed forces would fight the guerrillas "without the help or participation of anyone," including
García said government forces had killed about 2,200 guerrillas this year, while only 147 soldiers have been killed in the fighting.
Price of first-class stamps to rise
WASHINGTON—The Postal Service Board of Governors yesterday raised the cost of a first-class letter to 18 cents effective March 22. However, the board wanted more and took the action under protest because of the urgent need for money.
Board Chairman Robert Hardesty said the board planned to put the new rates into effect under protest and to send the case back to the Postal Rate Board.
The new rates apply to a broad range of mail, including postcards, which now will cost 12 cents.
In a sharply worded statement, the board said the rates approved last month by the independent rate-making commission were an "affront to industry" and that they should be removed.
The board said the commission's decision not only ignored more than $1 billion in revenue needs but also would cause a $400 million budget loss for the company.
Last month, the commission approved rate increases for the Postal Service, shaving $1 billion from the agency's request for $3.75 billion.
Reagan, Trudeau talks go smoothly
OTTWA-President Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau reached a basic agreement yesterday in their first round of talks on issues facing the North American neighbors, including increased U.S. aid to El Salvador, a U.S. official said.
"We got along just fine," Reagan told reporters as he headed to meeting on bilateral and, often touchy, relations with the Canadian leader.
The two-day visit to the Canadian capital was the first foreign trip for Reagan as president. It also was the first to Canada by an American president since 1972 and marked the first time Reagan and Trudeau had ever met.
Asked his reaction to the protests, Reagan, who has ordered 4 U.S. military advisers to El Salvador to help the regime fight Communist-inspired rebels, joked, "I thought they were imported to make me feel at home."
While the official government welcome was spiced with flags, bands, court guards, a jet fly-over, red carpets and 21-gun salutes, chanting protesters interrupted the welcoming ceremony on Parliament Hill to voice their opposition to the American military advisers in El Salvador.
"Hey, guys," Trudeau interjected as Reagan doggedly proceeded through his prepared remarks, "when I go to the United States, I'm not met with these signs."
Gunmen fire at U.S. ambassador
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Gunmen fired on U.S. Ambassador John Gunther during oraclecade yesterday, blowing out the tire of a guard car but causing no injuries.
Police said it was not clear if the shooting was the second assassination Dean in six months or if his three-car motorcade was caught inadvertently in the driveway.
The port area where the motorcade was passing at the time of the shooting is frequent. A frequent clashes between Syrian peacekeeping troops and Christian militia are also common.
None of the several bullets fired struck Dean's armor-plated Cadillac, and the American envoy went to the seaside embassy 'unperfurbed' by the included bullets.
Dear usually alternates the route he takes from his mountain home in use, to the modern Mosleh and then to the embassy, located in predominantly Modern West Berat.
His car is always sandwiched between security vehicles provided by the embassy and the Lebanese government.
Dean, who assumed his post in Beirut in October 1978, escaped an assassination attempt Aug. 27, 1980.
At that time, gunmen hiding off the road near the ambassador's residence used a salvo of machine gun fire and a rocket-propelled grenade as a lancehead.
Dean's security guards exchanged fire with the gunmen, who quickly fired the scene. One was injured, and the assailants never were caught.
Police files checked in Atlanta case
The Atlanta Journal, quoting unnamed sources, said investigators were examining officers who had resigned, been forced to quit or were nursing a possible grudge against the police department.
ATLANTA—The special task force investigating the missing and murdered children case has reviewed police personnel files from the past 10 years, and is trying to determine whether any former policeman could be linked to the killings, it was reported yesterday.
One of the hypotheses reportedly being considered by the task force is that the killer may be an authority figure who uses a uniform to quell any fears of potential victims. An earlier profile of the killer also addressed this possibility.
In another development, a contingent of Guardian Angels, the self-funded administration of New York streets and subways, headed for Atlanta to organize a youth basketball tournament.
Lisa Evers, 23, head of the female branch of the 700-member Guardian Angels, said she and 10 male members, six of them black, would hikitek to Alaska.
Evers said the Guardian Angels would mingle with Atlanta youths over true friends, who live near street corners in areas considered most susceptible to future attacks on children.
She said the group, aged 18 to 26, would stay "as long as we can be effective."
Debate director says insider took research
By Staff and Wire Reports
WACO, Texas - Baylor University's debate team, talked out of KU's Heart of America Debate Tournament last week before with 12,000 stolen note cards, recovered the cards yesterday.
The cards, and 1,000 pages of briefs on national defense, were delivered to the parking lot of one debater's office. Because the cards were stolen last Tuesday from Baylor's Castellaway Communication Center the team was forced to miss KU's tour among the top two in the country.
William English, Baylor's debate coach, blames the theft on someone with inside information
"It was obviously somebody involved in it debate," English said. "It was no coincidence, whoever it was had to know where our debater lived and to pick those six cases of out the of 12 or 15 in the room."
The stolen note cards surprised the competition in KU's debate tournament, which ran Saturday through Monday.
"Nothing like this has happened before that I know of in the history of
forensics," Donn Parson, KU's director of forensics, said. "Everyone was surprised, but the incident did not breed paranola.
"KU is not taking any special precautions other than not keeping all of its evidence in the same place. We have always kept it spread out."
Because of the theft, Baylor's debaters canceled their spring breaks to undertake researching the lost material at Texas &M University and the University of Texas.
"We told them to come home after the notes were found," English said. "If anything good has come out of this it's that our friends and colleagues have shown their concern.
"Other colleges offered to help us research, but of course we had to say no because you can't use material you haven't researched yourself." KU was one of the schools wanting to help.
"Of course we offered to loan them evidence, and so did a number of other schools," Zach Grant, a KU debater, said. "But in the true sense it was hard to try to research itself. They just didn't have enough time."

The new cuts are in addition to those the president announced only three weeks ago on Feb. 18. They bring total spending cuts proposed by Reagan and President Obama from President Carter, with changes for economic estimates, to $48.6 billion.
WASHINGTON—President Reagan proposed $13.8 billion in new budget cuts yesterday, affecting hundreds of programs including food stamps, high school jobs, mass transit, synthetic fields, low income housing and veterans' care.

Presenting an updated version of its fiscal 1982 budget to Congress, the administration said spending reductions, along with other elements of its economic program, would help revive the economy and cut inflation in half by 1983.
Among proposed new cuts added since Feb. 18 are reduction in coast $450 million.
Overall, Reagan proposes defense spending increases in 1982 of $4.9 billion over what Carter proposed, but with the exception that there would be a net increase of only $4.4 billion.
One reason for the new cuts is that the
Like Reagan's previous proposals, most of the new cuts still must be approved by Congress, and special interest groups are sure to fight decreases in their areas. The Liberal Americans for Democratic Action have proposed to move the budget in "Norland" economics that take from the "needy to give to the greedy."
