Strict policies build tension Strikers fight police in Peru
By United Press International
LIMA, Peru — Striking workers and students fought pitched battles yesterday with police sent into the streets to enforce a national state of emergency and block a general strike to protest government economic policy
Banks, schools, mines and factories across the country closed their doors as Peruvian workers joined the strike called by major labor coalitions to protest inflation and recession they say have been caused by the austerity policies of President Fernando Belaunde Terry.
But the government called the strike a failure because the shutdown was too late.
Authorities said at least 100 people were arrested nationwide in clashes that reportedly also broke out in three other Peruvian cities. Another 100 people were arrested in connection with a wave of bombings that injured 12 people in Lima on the eve of the strike.
Police in armored cars fired rifles in the air and used tear gas and water cannons on several hundred protesters, including leftist politicians and labor activists, rallying in the Dos Palmas district offices of major labor federations.
Witnesses left congressman Javier Diaz Canseco and Communist party leader Jorge del Prado were injured in the fighting with police.
The witnesses, among the wire service reporters, also said club-wielding police beat newspaper photographers.
LIMA, Peru — Peruvian police forcefully grab a striking worker by the hair as they break up a demonstration outside union headquarters in Lima. Police fired tear gas and rifles against several hundred protesters who rallied yesterday despite a nationwide state of emergency.

Clashes between police and rock hurling assailants also broke out in the densely populated shanty towns north and south of the Peruvian capital of 5.5 million people.
WASHINGTON — President Francois Mitterrand told President Reagan yesterday that France will be "a constant ally that can be counted upon," but there must be a Western dialogue with Moscow.
By United Press International
"Firmness and determination are indispensable qualities, but they must go together with keeping the dialogue open, particularly with the Eastern Bloc." Mitterrand said at the start of a weeklong state visit.
Mitterrand calls for new dialogue
Mitterrand, a socialist viewed by Washington with apprehension just three years ago, reaffirmed U.S.French solidarity during a White House ceremony where Reagan praised the French leader's assertive
"WE WELCOME YOU as the head of a state who has demonstrated courage and decisiveness in the face of international challenges that test the character of Western leadership." Reagan said.
oreign policy and support for the Western alliance.
Mitterrand said France was committed to "the basic idea of unfailing loyalty to our friends" and assured Reagan that his country "is a constant source of inspiration and intends to bring her own original contribution to the quest for peace."
Later, Mitterrand addressed a joint session of Congress, winning aplause for his call for talks with Moscow from the standing-room-only crowd.
"Let us be firm and clear in words as in deeds," Merritt said. "But at the
same time let us remain open, let us not be afraid to enter into dialogue with the Soviet Union once the bases and tanks are deactivated. We have defined in a clear and lasting manner.”
IN A TOAST during the state dinner last evening, Reagan appeared to respond to Mitterrand's call for dialogue with Moscow. "We seek secu-
tions," he said to that end America also strives to achieve great East-West dialogue."
Mitterrand, greeted by marching bands, a full military honor guard and a 21-gun salute, said the Americans and the French have been "brothers in arms" and have "shed their blood together" over more than two centuries from the battlefield at Yorktown to war-torn Beirut.
West Germans hold American in connection with spy ring
By United Press International
KARLSRUHUE, West Germany — West German intelligence agents arrested a 39-year-old American in connection with an East German spy monitoring U.S. military installations, federal prosecutors said yesterday.
A spokesman for the Federal Prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe said the American, a civilian who had not been charged with the killing, by agents in the central state of Hesse.
He worked for the U.S. forces in Giessen, the base of the 42nd U.S. Field Artillery north of Frankfurt, the spokesman said.
Authorities said at least one more suspect from the East German spying, suspected of infiltrating and disguising themselves in West Germany, is being sought.
THE WEST GERMAN spokesman
also said the American's arrest was related to the FBI arrest in Florida last Wednesday of Ernst-Ludwig Forbich, a West German alleged to have spied on U.S. bases for the East Germans for 17 years.
No other details of the arrest were disclosed but the spokesman said yesterday the arrest followed a carefully organized operation coordinated between West German and U.S. intelligence.
Forbich, 43, who was under surveillance by secret agents in Western Europe and the United States for some time before his arrest, is now in jail in Tampa, Florida awaiting arraignment on espionage charges.
FBI agents trapped Forbrich and arrested him in front of a Clearwater Beach, Fla., motel after he paid an undercover agent posing as a U.S. Army officer money against delivery of confidential military document.
Officials accuse police of murder in Indian village
By United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — Policemen slaughtered more than 100 people in an eastern seaport this week, Indian newspapers said yesterday. The reports were denied by the local government and police.
Officials and police in the town of Paradip, in the state of Orissa 825 miles southeast of New Delhi, conceded that there had been tension since 10 people, including four police officers, were killed in a clash between striking dock workers and non-union employees.
But they denied the charges, leveled by 13 opposition members of the Orissa State Assembly and printed in leading journals, that officers avenged the police deaths in a murderous rampage.
