2 Americans missing in Mexico
By United Press International
MEXICO CITY — Two U.S. citizens have been reported missing in the western city of Guadalajara, the site of a recent kidnapping of an American narcotics agent, a U.S. Embassy official said yesterday.
John Walker and Alberto Radelat, whose hometowns were not immediately known, were reported missing to authorities on Saturday, the embassy official said.
The two were last seen Jan. 29, the official said, and there was no indication of their whereabouts. He said he did not think the
incident was linked to the recent abduction of an agent from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
According to news reports, Radelat went to Guadalajara to visit Walker, who lives there. The first report of their disappearance was filed by a naturalized American friend of the two men, Carlos Turur, according to a Los Angeles Times story printed in yesterday's edition of the Mexico City News.
GUADALAJARA, MEXICO's second largest city, in recent years has become a main transit point for illicit drug traffic to the United States, according to Francis Mullen, DEA chief.
Officials said DEA special investigator Enrique Camaraña Salazar, 37, was kidnapped F. 7 by four armed men as he left the U.S. Consulate in Guadalajara.
Although the United States government has posted a $50,000 reward for information on the abduction by suspected drug traffickers, no definite leads have been received.
U. S. Ambassador John Gavin last week said he had asked U.S. State Department officials to consider a possible travel advisory for the Guadalajara area. An advisory would tell Americans traveling to the area to take precautions.

Food shipment said to be blocked
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Army commanders in a dominated region north of the capital have prevented Catholic Church food shipments from reaching "desperately" needy villagers, San Salvador's archbishop charged yesterday.
Archbishop Arturo Rivera y Dama told churchgoers that army authorities in northern Chalatenango province had blocked shipments of food for civilians sent in by Caritas, a Catholic relief agency.
Rivera y Damas said that Catholics parishes in the region had told the emperor to "remove" the shrine.
asked if "Caritas could send a food shipment to the civilian population as it needs it desperately."
"The zone's military authorities are impeding Caritas humanitarian work," the country's ranking Catholic leader said.
NEITHER COL. Sigifredo Ochoa, commander of the 4th infantry Brigade in Chalatenango, or Defense Ministry spokesmen, were immediately available for comment.
But military authorities often have complained that many civilians in northern Chalatenango are sympathetic to guerrillas of the leftist Popular Liberation Forces that dominates the area.
The armed forces also have long looked with suspicion on the work of
Catholic priests, nuns and lay activists in Chalatenage, where two of four U.S. churchmen murdered by guardsmen in 1980 had aid refugees.
Rivera y Damas said that in the latest fighting in the nation's 5-year-old civil war, the army killed 39 people in operations during the past week and reported 11 troops killed in combat.
The archbishop also said that right-wing death squads killed three civilians during the week. The death of a priest in a recent attack thousands of deaths in recent years.
On the battlefront, U.S.-supplied UH-1H "Huey" helicopters airlifted Salvadoran army reinforcements into northeastern Moraza province.
