El Salvador names election council
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — The U.S.-backed junta yesterday named an election council which would be charged with setting up elections for a national assembly and would have the power to write a new constitution for the war-ravaged country.
President Jose Napoleon Duarte, leader of the Salvadoran Christian Democratic party, said the new commission offered the opportunity for 50 years of accumulated political frustration of the people to end in totally free elections.
The national assembly probably will be elected next March and is expected to have 56 members. Its main goal will be to set up a presidential
Duarte, whose own 1972 presidential victory was stolen by the military, also said that the extreme left and the extreme right without a doubt would oppose the process, but no one could impede the people in the exercise of their own right.
In another development, the church-run legal aid society said political violence lashed El Salvador claimed 3,000 lives in the first two months of
LOS ANGELES - A pistol-wielding would-be hijacker seized a jetstream from an International Airport yesterday and held six people for several hours.
Jet seized; two women held hostage
FBI agents secretly boarded the plane and struck up "face-to-face" negotiations with the gunman. He released four of the hostages unharmed a
FBI spokesman John Hoas said negotiators had not given the gunman anything in exchange for the release of the fox, and said the two who stayed inside were either dead or dead.
He said the man did not indicate why he wanted the money or whether he wanted to go some place with it.
Atlanta gets aid to fight side effects
ATLANTA—The federal government gave Atlanta nearly $1 million yesterday to combat the social repercussions of the city's child slayings, but made no commitment on the city's plea for money to help fund the investigation.
A White House aide said the administration still was studying Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson's request for $1.5 million to help pay overtime and other expenses for the special police task force investigating the killing of 19 black youngsters and disgracement of two others.
President Reagan announced the grants in Washington, saying the city would get $650,000 from the Justice Department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and $230,000 from other government agencies in an effort to end the "nightmare."
Reagan called the unsolved crimes "one of the most tragic problems facing our nation."
In Atlanta, police located 18-year-old Orlando Carter Robinson, one of the two youngsters reported missing this week. They said Robinson was unharmed. The other, Joseph Bell, 15, remained unaccounted for, but police said that they considered him a runaway.
Release of computer tapes blocked
WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens in an unusual review said that yesterday temporarily blocked the release of a report that the government had submitted to the judge.
Stevens stepped into the dispute at the government's request after Justice William Rehquebam requested for turning over the Internal Revenue Bureau, Believeen, Wash., back.
The full high-court is scheduled to consider the issue at its regular Friday closed-door conference and is expected to announce by Monday whether it
The tapes were compiled from some 50,000 random audits of income tax returns between 1972 and 1976. The IRS then drew up a profile of the types of entries on fax forms that indicated taxpayers had erased or cheated on their returns.
Philip and Susan Long, the couple seeking the tapes say the information is outdated and there is no way an outsider can know which items the IRS selected for its audit formula. But the government contends that studying the tapes could allow tax cheaters to figure out how to avoid audits.
Chairman cuts Reagan's proposal
WASHINGTON—The chairman of the House Budget Committee said yesterday that President Reagan's budget proposal was developed in such haste that it overlooked "waste, fraud and abuse" and he pledged to pursue solutions.
Rep. James Jones, D-Okla., said the failure to attack government mismanagement was a "major deficiency" in the Reagan budget-cutting plan and could make some of the President's proposals cost more than they saved.
Mindful of Reagan's campaign boast that he could cut two percent from the federal budget just by eliminating the three evils, Jones' committee heard testimony from five agency inspectors on measures—so far not mentioned by the president—that Jones said could save billions of dollars.
Jones said later that his attack on mismanagement would accompany the program cuts rather than predece them.
OMB Amtrak proposals rejected
WASHINGTON-Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis yesterday assured a congressional panel that he would not follow budget office rules on the expansion of the railway.
"It is unfair to indicate this budget has been jammed down our throats by OBB (Office of Management and Budget)," Lewis told the House Transplant
"We don't plan to run OMB's program on how to run Amtrak," he said, emphasizing that operational changes would continue to come under consideration. The Federal Railroad Administration
The OMB has called for Amtrak fares to cover 80 percent of the costs by January 1, when they will be available. The OMB said its department was only considering fare increases of 13 to 20 percent.
WASHINGTON—An irate Congressman, Democrat William Hughes of New Jersey, took the House floor yesterday to defend his colleagues as hardworking and moral, and to declare that Rita Jenrette's Washington "is not the Washington I know."
Congressman disputes Rita's views
Mrs. Jennette is divoring former Rep. John Jennette, the South Carolina Governor, and designated his congressional seat after being convicted in the Abacus bribery case.
She has received considerable publicity over her semi-ude pictures in Playboy magazine and her tell-all stories of sex and high life in the nation's press.
"We have heard a lot more of Rita Jennette lately, both on the talk show circuit and in the pages of Playboy magazine." Hughes said. "She has become an expert or at least she claims to be—on the Congress, its members and our morality.
"Whatever our shortcomings might be, I know the overwhelming majority of our colleagues to be decent, God-fearing, sincere and hard-working individuals who have given every effort toward doing what they believe is right."
It was incorrectly reported yesterday that Jayhawk West Apartments had dishwashers and paid all utilities.
Correction
The complex pays no utilities except for water in gas-heated one-bedroom apartments. The Kansas regrets the error.
Cronkite bids farewell
By United Press International
The rival networks wished him godsped. But even they were happy in a sad way. When the king departs, it is a time for honor.
NEW YORK—Uncle Walter leaves the living room tonight.
Eighteen million nieces and nephews of Walter Cronek, the kinfok who are his nightly television audience, were uneasy at the prospect of not being able to see the world clearly and with warmth for half an hour at dinner time.
But that's the way it is. The man who came to dinner on April 16, 1962, as anarchist and former foray near Istanbul, brought away a CBCE Evening News with Walter Crorken.
Tonight, Reynolds will do a salute to Cronkite.
"It's great to be whatever I've managed by luck to be," he says, "but it's certainly time to have the freedom to not be here every day."
"Thank you, Walter," says archival ABC News in full-page advertisements carried in newspapers of major U.S. cities.
The ad says ABC thanks him for his "extraordinary contributions to our profession" and adds that "throughout his distinguished career, Walter helped establish American's trust in television as a reliable, accurate news medium."
ABC SCHEDULED its Washington anchorman Frank Reynolds to appear with Eric Severeid, a long-time coach, and co-curator to Walter during an overall segment about the Cronkite career on today's "Good Morning America."
CBS News was making live feeds of the final minutes of Cronkite's goodbye program tonight available to radio and television stations throughout the country. The farewell news broadcast was to be regular news—as managing editor, Cronkite is a news-only man to the last.
John Chancellor of archival NBC planned to speak a farewell to Walter on his anchorspot during tonight's news.
Walter, nobody has ever called him Walt, isn't telling anybody how he plans to sign off the final evening stint. He is expected to say something ex-actually the broadest there will be a closed party for the staff of the evening news.
THE CRUSH of press requests to attend the final program has been such that the set will be closed off to all visitors, and the broadcast center also will be closed.
Cronite is fond of the man who will succeed him starting Monday, Dan Rather. His thought for Rather might be the same that he uttered when the first moon rocket lifted off: "Aw, go baby, go!"
Walter leaves this month "on a working vacation" to Russia, where he will make one part of a five-part CBS series on U.S. defense. He plans to continue making specials and documentaries for CBS.
