Attack kills security chief of embassy in El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — A gunman firing from a taxicab killed the Salvadoran head of security at the U.S. Embassy yesterday about a mile from the mission, authorities said.
Joaquim Alfredo Zapata Romero, 59, died in his car from four bullet wounds to the head, neck and chest, witnesses said. His wife Yolanda was shot in the mouth, but a daughter traveling with them was unharmed, they said.
Witnesses the unidentified gunman in the passenger seat of a taxi pulled up beside Zapata's car, stopped at a major intersection during the morning rush hour in the west of the capital and opened fire. They said the taxi escaped by speeding away to the north.
No group immediately claimed responsibility, and police said they had no leads.
Excursion costs taxpayers $683,000
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William French Smith's around-the-world excursion in 1982 cost taxpayers more than $683,000 — not counting hotel bills but including $25,000 for three globe-trotting trips by a consultant to scout the route.

Smith's travel voucher, released yesterday more than 18 months after his journey, did not detail such items as $5,100 for chauffeur-driven cars in Italy.
Smith, the most widely traveled attorney general in recent years, easily has spent $1 million in overseas travel since taking office early in 1981
Man pleads guilty to spying charge
The cost of his round-the-world trip is double the price tag of the most expensive overseas trip in 1983 by a congressional delegation.
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge yesterday accepted the guilty plea of James D. Harper, who says he sold U.S. military secrets to the Soviet bloc so valuable they could damage the American defense program.
Federal Judge Samuel Conti, who earlier had been reluctant to take the guilty plea on charges of conspiracy to deliver government secrets to a foreign power, set May 14 for sentencing.
eight power, securily in Harper, 49, a former Silicon Valley engineer, testified that he sold thousands of pages of secrets about the Minuteman and MX missiles to the Poles for $250,000. The documents were turned over to the Soviet KGB, and, at one point, the Russian agents drew personal congratulations from the late Soviet leader Yuri Andropov.
Marchers in Brazil call for elections
SAO PAULO, Brazil — More than a million demonstrators marched in Brazil's largest city yesterday demanding "presidential elections now" and an end to two decades of military rule.
But President Joao Figueiredo announced in Brazil's capital, Brasilia, that presidential elections would be held only in 1988 under a constitutional amendment he was sending to congress.
Figuereiro is scheduled to step down next March. Opposition groups called the protest as part of a national move by Brazilians demanding a general election, rather than an electoral college, to choose the next president.

Groups ranging from the Museum Curators Society to the Teachers Union carried huge banners, some bearing the hammer-and-sickle symbol of the outlawed Communist Party.
Chicago suburb outlaws handguns
OAK PARK, IL. — The Village Board of Trustees voted 4-3 last night to outlaw handguns in the Chicago suburb. After the law takes effect, gun owners will have six months to get rid of their weapons or face a fine.
Oak Park banned the sale of handguns in 1978. The new ordinance prohibits ownership and possession of handguns and is similar to gun bans in nearby suburbs Morton Grove and Evanston.
The Illinois Department of Law Enforcement said that about 2,530 guns were registered to Oak Park residents.
Enforcement will not begin for 180 days, until the Illinois Supreme Court rules on a challenge to the constitutionality of the precedent-setting June 1981 Morton Grove ordinance.
Rolling Stones sue former manager
NEW YORK — Rock superstar Mick Jagger appeared in court yesterday to try to stop his former manager from releasing incomplete Rolling Stones material from the 1960s because it is "rubbish" and damaging to the band's reputation.
The Stones sued former manager Allen Klein in U.S. District Court over a contract that gives Klein's recording companies control of Stones songs recorded before 1970.
A key issue is whether Klein has the right to license the rock group's music and films, lucrative video cassettes and discs and whether the Stones are owed royalties.
Jagger told the judge that under a 1972 settlement, Klein kept the unreleased 1960s recordings for "archival purposes" but could not use them commercially.

Police investigate N.Y. murders
NEW YORK — A force of 75 detectives yesterday began the search to identify suspects in the drug-related Palm Sunday massacre of eight children and two women who were shot in the head at point-blank range, the worst mass murder in the city's history.
By United Press International
A pregnant woman, still holding a spoon to feed her children, her cousin and eight children all were shot in the park. A boy jokingly apartment about 2 p.m. Sunday.
The television in the apartment still flickered, casting an eerie light on the blood-splattered bodies when they were found five hours later.
"I don't think any of us has ever seen a shooting like this," Deputy Police Captain Hirsch said.
An 11-month-old girl was the only
The massacre could have been a "reprisal killing" to exact revenge on adults by killing their children, he said. Drug paraphernalia, including foil wrappers and lactose, used to dilute heroin, was found in the living room.
survivor of the attack. Murphy said the infant must have been dead and dead blood was covered with foam.
Chief of Detectives Richard Nicastro said the shootings appeared to be simultaneous and the work of two killers, judging by shell casings found on the floor from .38-caliber and .22-caliber pistols.
All the victims were Hispanic, but no evidence had been found to link the executions to the Colombian drug trade, often associated with "this kind of conduct, specifically the shooting of children," Murphy said.
Mayor Edward Koch established a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers.
Seventy-five detectives were assigned to the investigation, which had turned up no suspects or witnesses.
The victims were identified as Virginia Lopez, 24, and her sons, Juan, 4, and Eddie; 7. Lopez cousin Carmen and Tessia; 8. Two of her two children, Alberto, 5, and Noel, 3.
Also killed were Perez' sister, Migidilla Perez, 14, and her cousin, Maria, 10; Betsy Bermudez, 14; and her sister, Marilyn, 10.
Perez' 11-month-old daughter, Christina, was the sole survivor of the massacre. Her father, Louis Perez, 28, reported to police yesterday morning, but officials said the child would temporarily remain in city custody.
Detectives couldn't explain why none of the victims appeared to have made it through the maze, then them were in the living room, including Lopez, who was 5 to 6 months pregnant.
Court will rule on PAC spending
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to decide whether political action committees can spend millions of dollars campaigning for presidential candidates they back, but it will not rule before the November election.
That leaves PACs free to spend an estimated $40 million on 1984 candi-
But Steven Feiron, Democratic National Committee attorney, said he would ask the justices again to decide the case before the November election.
At issue is a federal ruling striking down a $1,000 limit on PAC spending to support presidential candidates in the general election.
PACs can spend money regardless of whether a presidential candidate has
PAcS spent some $13.7 million to back Reagan in 1980, including primaries. They spent $8 million on Reagan in the general election.
Democrats argued that the conservative groups exceeded the limits set by the Presidential Campaign Fund Act of 1971. That act created a federal presidential campaign fund and set the $1,000 limit on PAC spending for presidential candidates who get money from the fund.

The Colorado senator, stopping in Missouri before its caucuses tomorrow, said that "despite the Reagan tax bill of 1881, the tax burden on the poor and low-to-moderate income taxpayers has actually increased."
In Columbia, Mo., a bomb threat was made against the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was speaking to the students in his lawsuit, but no bombs were found.
despite all the president's rhetoric about helping average-income Americans, his policies have helped reduce the cost to take advantage of the system.
Gary Hart, denouncing the nation's tax laws as going "from bad to worse" under President Reagan, said yesterday that administration tax changes had unfully increased the burden on low- and moderate-income households.
A telephone caller contacted the Columbia Daily Tribune and said a bomb was planted on the university campus in an auditorium where Jackson was speaking at the time. The caller said another bomb was planted at the Second Baptist Church, where Jackson had a later speaking engagement, assistant news editor Jim Robertson said.
Hart told 300 people outside a Jefferson City, Mo. post office, "We have an unfair and an unjust tax law.
A news release showed that the Harts' 1983 total combined income was $125,474. Former Vice President Walter Mondale also released his biography, which told that Mondale and his wife Joan had a total income of $136,330.
Hart says tax changes are unfair
