Soviets retaliate for expulsion
By United Press International
MOSCOW — Moscow declared two Norwegians person non graft, or not acceptable as ambassadors, yesterday in retaliation for Norway's expulsion of five Soviet diplomats and a ban on four Norwegians being connected with a spy scandal.
The Foreign Ministry summoned acting Norwegian Ambassador Jan Naerby and told him their treaty's destination wavet diplomats Feb. 1 was unwarranted
"They told me they were declaring two Norwegians personal non graits in their records."
He said the Norwegians, a diplomat and an interpreter, did not live in the Soviet Union. The diplomat, Oeivind
Noreslett, left Moscow in 1982 after first secretary in the Norwegian emperor's
THE INTERPETER, Tore Boepresen, is a lecturer at a Norwegian Defense College and often accompanies the students to the Soviet Union. Naerby said
"We were expecting some reaction from the Soviet side, but we did not know when it would come," Naerby said.
The five Soviet diplomats were expelled from Norway and four others no longer serving in Oslo, the capital of Norway, were declared persona non grata following the exposure of top diplomat Arne Trehlot as a KGB brgy.

The Norwegian government also reduced the number of Soviet diplo-
The four Soviet diplomats outside Norway were identified as Treholt's KGB contacts. Treholt was suspected of spying for at least five years and had access to top-secret NATO and Norwegian defense materials.
"The Foreign Ministry told me the expulsion of the Soviet diplomats was completely without foundation," Naterbv said.
IN OSLO, Norwegian Foreign Minister Sven Stray said he regretted the Soviet decision, repeating earlier statements that the Soviet Union bears full responsibility for the worsening of relations between the two countries.
"The decision to declare the two Norwegians undesirable must therefore be seen as beyond reason," he said.
'Deathstar may cause extinctions
By United Press International
BERKELEY, Calif. — Scientists say an uncharted "deathstar" that showers the earth with comets every 28 million years rid the planet of meteors with plume the planet into darkness and cool again — in 15 million years.
In a report to the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the researchers from the University of California at Berkeley said they used evidence from fossils, rare metals and ancient impact craters dotting the earth to explain why certain species of life have become extinct at regular intervals over the past hundreds of millions of years.
The scientists describe the star as a "dwarf," or smaller star, which orbits in space as a companion to the sun and takes 28 million years to complete one orbit. They conceive that the star has a direct evidence that the star exists.
Each time a burst of comets collides with earth, the scientists say, the planet is plunged into a hole. The comet may extinguish anywhere from 20 percent to 70 percent of all plants and animals existing at the time.
Soviets building bases for missiles, U.S. says
By United Press International
BRUSSELS, Belgium — The Soviet Union is building new bases for SS-20 nuclear missiles in its western regions, apparently in retaliation for the deployment of new missiles in NATO a senior U.S. official said yesterday.
Although new deployments of SS-208 have been previously disclosed, the triple-warhead intermediate-range aircraft were developed in the eastern part of the Soviet Union.
"New SS-20 bases are under construction in both the eastern and western U.S. S.R.," said Richard Burt, secretary of state for European affairs.
Burt snuck after chairing a session of NATO's Special Consultative Group, which was set up to monitor the on intermediate-grade nuclear forces.
"THE SOVIETS HAVE said that one of their counter-measures for U.S. INF deployment would be the construction of new bases in the western part of the Union." Burt said, "So this development has not come as a surprise to us."
"There was a period during which we did not detect new base construction in the western part of the Soviet Union, although we did see continuing Soviet efforts to complete construction of bases that had already begun."
Burt said that the Soviets had deployed 378 SS-20s thus far, 243 of them aimed at western European targets. About 550 of the total were already in place before NATO stationed its own new missiles.
The first of those — NATO plans a total of 572 U.S. cruise and Pershing 2 rockets in five countries — became operational late last year in West Germany and Britain, sparking a Soviet walkout from the Geneva talks.
BURT HEADS FOR East Germany today and will be in Yugoslavia and Hungary later this week to discuss international security issues, arms control and bilateral issues with government officials.
In a statement issued after the meeting, the Special Consultative Group said that the NATO allies "expressed hope for a new willingness on the part of the Soviet Union to return to the negotiating table."
Burt said that it was much too early to say whether the new leadership in the Kremmlin would be more flexible or return to the Geneva negotiations.
"We think the important signal to us is we are ready to negotiate at the top of the stack."
But he added it "would be a major mistake to make concessions simply to bring the Soviet Union back to the negotiating table.
"Because that would not bring them back to the table," Burt said.

SAN GERARDO, El Salvador — Salvadoron air force soldiers search for the remains of 28 soldiers at the site of a two-helicopter crash. The helicopters collided Sunday when rebel forces shot one, which then crashed into the other, killing all the soldiers on board both craft. Three air force helicopters have been lost in the past week.
Salvadorans claim rout of rebel post
Salvadoran jets bombed suspected rebel positions yesterday near a northeastern town where army troops battled with leftist guerrillas and drove them out of the hamlet, military officials said.
The rebels fought with army troops for several hours in Dolores, which is 42 miles northeast of San Salvador, but the authorities say early yesterday, the officials said.
The rebels carried away food and supplies from stores and destroyed two vehicles and the government communications office in the town before they left, residents and military sources said.

In Nicaragua, the pro-government press urged the ruling junta to lower the voting age to 16, a move that could give the leftist Sandistas a landslide victory in the 1865 elections. Nicaragua also announce a date for the elections today.
NEAR NUEVO EDEN de San Juan, guerrilla fire hit a Salvadoran army helicopter Sunday, causing it to slam into another helicopter and sending both of them crashing to the ground; killing all 28 army personnel aboard.
Salvadoran military officials said U.S.supplied A37 "Dragonfly" jets bombed suspected rebel positions between Dolores and Nuevo Eden de San Juan, located six miles apart and few miles from the Honduran border.
Opposition leaders in Nicaragua have said they are opposed to the election of a president and vice president until a new Constituent Assembly can legally alter the constitution and provide guarantees to curb presidential power.
two separate elections
A 17-year-old Nicaraguan war heroine, in an article in the pro-government El Nuevo Diario, urged the Sandimista government to lower the voting age to 16. The report was the latest in a series of articles in the official press calling for the change in the draft of an electoral law.
Nicaragua has said it cannot afford
THE ELECTORAL LAW draft stipulates that the voting age is 18, but the ruling Sandinista front has many teenage supporters and lowering the voting age to 16 could give the regime a real victory in next year's elections.
On a weekend visit to Honduras, Vesey meet with President Roberto Sanzo Cordova in La Paz, 36 miles and visited military installations.
U. S. Ambassador John D. Negronepato said that Vessley visited Honduras to make "a review of the various (military) installations where the forces of Big Pine II were stationed."
