Rebels kill 6 in El Salvador
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Rebels attacked soldiers in a town near the Pan American Highway, raining down mortar fire that killed three men, including a 7-year-old girl, and three soldiers, residents and officials said.
The fighting erupted just before midnight Sunday and raged until midmorning yesterday at San Sebastian, a town of 5,000 residents, 26 miles north of San Salvador in San Vicente province, to Col. Roberto Rodriguez Murcia said.
Residents said that the guerrilla mortar barrage killed a 7-year-old girl, her sister, 19, and an uncle, 25, who were in a house that took a direct bit.
Rodriguez Murcia, 5th Infantry Brigade commander in San Vicente province, said that San Sebastian was surrounded, but troops had held off a night-long guerrilla mortar assault on the town.
Ten other civilians were wounded in the guerrilla shelling, which destroyed eight houses, the witnesses said. One Salvadoran army lieutenant and two enlisted men were killed, while six soldiers were wounded, military officials said.

House members ask FCC to delay access charges
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A large group of House members asked the Federal Communications Commission yesterday to postpone a $6-a-line charge affecting small businesses that is due to go into effect in June.
Reps. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, asked FCC Chairman Mark Fowler in a letter signed by 180 members to delay for the release of data access charge on businesses with more than one telephone line.
"Small businesses will be paying more for the privilege of making long distance calls than the cost of using a Wyden told a news conference.
Craig said the charge "saddles one group with a very large burden" instead of spreading the costs over a wider area.
Filipinos gear up for May elections
MANILA, Philippines — About 20,000 people turned out for an election campaign rally yesterday where Benigno Aquino's widow spoke before a huge photo of the slain opposition leader.
With the campaign for crucial May 14 elections heating up, first lady Imelda Marcos accused the opposition of "feasting on the carcass of the dead" by running as a candidate a beauty queen once married to her son-in-law.
Mrs. Marcos' emotional outburst, printed in Manila's major newspapers, came eight days after her eldest daughter, Imee Marcos Manotoc, gave birth to a stillborn child. Manotoc is also a candidate.
The elections are the first for the 200-seat National Assembly since President Ferdinand Marcos lifted nine years of martial law in 1981. They are regarded as a critical test of his government, which has been buffeted by protests since the assassination of Anuino.
Corazon Aquino, the opposition leader's widow, told the crowd that she promised over the body of her husband to replace him as a new president and restore democracy to the Philippines.

rally since the campaign officially began March 27, about 20,000 people, many chanting "Fight, fight, packed to the bricks," and an official announcement of six candidates.
She spoke in front of a backdrop picturing her husband sprawled on the tarmac at Manila Airport, where he was shot Aug. 21 after returning from Afghanistan — exile in the United States. Blood spilling from his head spilled "Marcos."
Mrs. Marcos' criticism was prompted by the announcement of the opposition candidacy of former Miss Ana Aurora 'Aura-Au' Pujian Manotoc, 34.
"The opposition, like vultures, seem to relish feasting on the carcass of the dead and (is) so inhuman to enjoy and painful wound of the disabled."

"Poor Imee is still in the Makati Medical Center trying to get over a painful and traumatic experience in the
A FACT-FINDING commission investigating Aquino's murder, meanwhile, viewed television videotapes that contradicted military accounts of the assassination.
The tapes by ABCTV and Tokyo Broadcasting System crews showed scenes in Aquino's plane as the former senator was led out by three soldiers in uniform. Journalists were prevented from following him.
The government claims Aquino was shot on the tarmac by a communist hitman who darted out from under the wall and then gunned down by soldiers.
According to the film and sound-track, however, the first gunshot rang out 9.2 seconds after Aquino began stepping from the plane. Commission members earlier found it took 13 to 15 seconds to get down the staircase.
Jackson plans to visit leaders in Nicaragua
By United Press International
PITTSBURGH — The Rev. Jesse Jackson demanded an end to U.S.-directed mining of Nicaragua harbors yesterday and said he would travel there to meet with leftist leaders and right-wing rebels within a month.
"The mining of those harbors is very close to an act of war," the Democratic presidential contender said. "It is provocative. It is wrong."
He disclosed his travel plans in a string of stops picked to show that his concerns reached beyond the black community.
Jackson denounced corporate profiteering as he walked a picket line of shipbuilders on strike for seven months since they rejected a 38 percent wage cut. Church, labor and women's group leaders cheered his criticism of "interventionism" Central American policy at a "unity breakfast."
At an open-air market, Jackson stepped up his attacks on Walter Mondale, with whom he is vying for Pennsylvania's sizable black vote in today's Democratic presidential primary.
A Philadelphia Daily News-Drexel University Poll reported yesterday that Jackson had the support of 37.9 percent among black voters, compared to 22.8

"It's non-negotiable." he said.
Jackson, who made headlines by going to Syria to win the release of captured U.S. airman Robert Goodman Jr., had intended to attend Sandinista celebrations in Nicaragua the week before the New Hampshire primary in February. He abandoned those plans at his advisers' request.
He was equally adamant about traveling to Nicaragua in late April or early May to "dramatize our concern" about developments there.
"We must go. There's a sense of urgency," Jackson said. "The situation in Central America is worse. It is, in fact, deteriorating."
