Duarte's party wins election
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — The first official results of legislative elections were released yesterday and confirmed an upset victory for President Jose Napoleon Duarte's party, giving it a majority in more than half of the country's province.
Duarte appeared to have won the electorate's approval for his agrarian reform program and his peace talks with leftist rebel leaders.
Council officials reported that more than one million of 2.7 million registered voters went to the polls, a slight drop from 1.4 million voters who voted in presidential runoff elections last year.
Legislators fast for farmers
ST. PAUL, Minn. — More than two dozen Democratic members of the Minnesota House are fasting in support of state legislation that would put a yearlong moratorium on farm mortgage closures, a state representative said yesterday.
Rep. Glen Anderson of Bellingham announced the fast on the House floor Monday, prompting cheers from a gallery packed by about 300 farmers.
Gav groups seek recognition
WASHINGTON — The District of Columbia is willing to approve a $70 million bond for a Georgetown University renovation if the Roman Catholic school agrees to recognize campus gay groups, a city official said yesterday.
There is a question over Georgetown's eligibility for a bond because gay students have complained that the university does not give them equal access to its facilities.
Students protest fee increase
Mac Gonzalez, a professor of the Lesbian and Gay Men of Georgetown, said, "We're just asking that the school recognize that there are gay students on campus."
AMHERST, Mass. — About 50 students vowed to camp out at a University of Massachusetts administration building for a second night yesterday to press their protest of a rise in fees and a cut in college funding in the use of certain campus buildings.
Chancellor Joseph D. Duffey met for about an hour with five protesters occupying a vice-chancellor's office in the Whitmore Administration Building.
"I think overall it was a very positive response." Stacey Roth, 21, of Winchester said of the meeting with Duffey. "For the first time in many months I actually felt they were listening to me."

Israeli troops attacked by guerrillas
French diplomat released after kidnapping
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A French diplomat abducted last week was freed unarmed by his pro-Iranian captors yesterday as guerillas attacked Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, killing one soldier and wounding three others.
in other developments, the Lebanese army postponed plans to send reinforcements into a raging battle between Christian and Muslim militias that has killed at least 63 people near the port city of Sidon, 24 miles south of Beirut.
And Israeli army radio in Jerusalem said most of the 1,800 Muslim prisoners at Israel's prison camp in Ansar had been transferred
inside Israel and 600 more prisoners would be freed starting Wednesday.
In Beirut, the French Embassy said Gilles Peyrolle, 32, the director of the French cultural center in Tripoli, was released from captivity after terrorists who seized him from his home March 25.
PEYROLLES SAID HE had been kept in a house during his captivity and not allowed outdoors.
"My liberation took place in the Beka (Valley) in an accident manner," he told reporters. "They (his captors) let me off with two of my captors on the side of the road at the entrance to the Beka. We waited for about two to three hours before villagers armed with a Kalashnikov (Soviet assault rifle) came and surrounded us.
"I was very frightened because they thought I was an Israeli." Peyrolle said, but all three were taken to a nearby Muslim camp where he was released by the villagers.
Peyrolles said that his captors told him they were revolutionary humanitarians, who represented the revolution Faction.
PEYROLES WAS THE seventh Western hostage freed in recent weeks. Eight others, including five Americans and two other Frenchmen, are still missing. A kidnapped Dutch Jesuit priest was found dead Monday.
The Anas prison camp is to be evacuated in the second stage of Israel's withdrawal, which Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres said would be quickened and completed in eight to 10 weeks in the face of stepped-up
guerrilla attacks. Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1962 to force on Palestinian guerrillas.
Early yesterday, guerrillas in southern Lebanon killed an Israeli soldier and wounded three others in two attacks on Israeli forces in the region, the Israeli army said.
One soldier was killed and two wounded when an explosive charge went off near an armored patrol at Aduoeir, about 12 miles northeast of Tyre. Another soldier was slightly wounded when he drove over a mine near the village of Baalul in the southern Bekaa valley, the army said.
Around Sidon, Christian and Muslim militia traded artillery and machine-gun fire in an escalating battle that began last week
U.S. issues warning to Khadafy
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said in an interview published yesterday the United States would "go to the source" if foreign governments were found to be sponsors of terrorism, and the administration issued a sharp warning to Libya.
Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy will be held "fully responsible" for terroristic actions against Americans or US interests, the dictator has challenged a counter-dictator with "lawlessness and terrorism."
Reagan, in an interview with The Washington Post, cited "increasing evidence that some terrorists in the world are actually emissaries of sovereign governments."
that the administration had warned Iran it would suffer consequences should Islamic fundamentalist terrorists execute any of the five Americans held in Lebanon.
The New York Times, quoting anonymous administration officials, said the warning was conveyed in a message from Secretary of State George Shultz to the Iranians through the Swiss government, which represents U.S. interests in Tehran.
THE WHITE HOUSE and State Department declined to comment on reports
Reagan, asked about a London Sunday
Time report that the United States might
attack Iranian oil targets in response to
the terrorist attacks in mind. I should
dispose anything of this kind.
"THE WORLD CANNOT tolerate the lawlessness and terrorism which Khadafy so openly advocates. He should know this and be aware that Libya will be held accountable for its actions," he said.
But State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb was blunt in reading a prepared statement reacting to new reports about terrorist actions planned by Khadafy or attributed to him.
"Our own views on terrorism and Col. Khadifa are well known. We will hold Khadifa fully responsible for Libyan terrorism against Americans and other U.S. interests, whether carried out abroad or in the United States."
The Libyan news agency quoted Khadiyah as calling on guerrilla groups Sunday night to launch organized "suicide missions" in an effort to topple moderate Eastern governments. Khadiyah was reported to urge the "revolutionary violence" on a newly organized National Command for the Arab Revolutionary Forces.

By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Education Secretary William Bennett, under orders from President Reagan to improve his department, announced the creation yesterday of an internal task force to make federal student aid programs more efficient.

Reagan directed Bennett to find ways to improve the agency after naming him secretary in December, replacing Terrel Bell. Reagan would like to eliminate the department, but he lacks the support in Congress.
Bennett is now pushing an embattled
BENNETT SAID IN a statement:
"The president has asked me to look at ways to improve the operations of the Education Department and this task force will focus on those programs which represent
more than 45 percent of the total department budget" - $86 billion.
Bennett used the administration, during the past four years, made progress in cracking down on defaulted student loans and improving delivery of direct grants.
He said. "Over the past four years alone, the government has recouped more than $260 million in defaulted student loans, and we have significantly improved the efficiency of the grant award process. However, some serious problems remain."
Pentagon cites increased aid to Nicaragua
Bennett said that a recent department study, revealed several quality control programs in the $2.4 billion student Pell Grant program.

WASHINGTON — The Soviet Union and its allies supplied Nicaragua with 18,200 metric tons of military equipment during 1984, with the Soviet share increasing 157 percent over the previous year, the Pentagon said yesterday.
A listing of the tanks, guns, patrol boats and helicopters sent to the Sandinista government last year appeared in the Pentagon's fourth edition of "Soviet Military Power 1985," which said the Soviets "have induced other socialist or sympathetic nations to provide additional assistance."
The 143-page publication gave little new information about the military buildup of Nicaragua other than to provide more precise figures about its extent.
The buildup, he said, was "for preparations for intimidation against their neighbors."
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger dismissed a suggestion that Nicaragua may have built up its weaponry because of fears of a U.S. invasion.
The booklet said 18,200 metric tons of equipment were sent to Nicaragua in 1984, a 36 percent increase over the previous year. The number of 13,300 metric tons of military supplies.
More than half of the total - 9.200 metric tons - were delivered by Bulgarian ships, the publication said.
