Moroccan prices cut in riots' wake
By United Press International
CASABLANCA, Morocco — King Hassan II yesterday canceled food price increases that prompted four days of roiting in northeast Morocco, reportedly killing more than 240 people.
Hassan, in the first official comment on clashes that often pitted young demonstrators against armed riot police and soldiers, blamed the unrest on leftists, "Zionist agents" and Iranian fundamentalists.
He gave no details on deaths or injuries in the disturbances that, according to Spanish newspaper reports, killed more than 240 people.
THE SOVEREIGN ANNOUNCED that price increase for sugar, oil and butter would be rescinded, a move similar to a rollback announced by Tunisian authorities two weeks ago in a week of rotting over food price hikes.
The price rises, first announced last August with further stages to take effect in the early months of this year;
called for increases of as much as 67 percent.
percent.
Hassan, in his 15-minute nationally broadcast address from the royal palace, charged that the troubles were fomented by foreign elements bent on destroying the achievements of Morocco at the Islamic summit which ended last Friday in Casablanca.
"The troubles . . . are due to a multi-faceted conspiracy perpetrated by Marxist-Leninists, Zionist agents and Khomeiniists, all seeking the collapse of the Islamic summit." Hassan said.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazil will have the capacity to produce nuclear weapons by the 1990s. Navy Minister Maximiano da Fonseca said in a newspaper interview published yesterday.
D Faonseca told the Jornal do Brasil that any decision to make a bomb would depend, however, on a political force be taken by a future government.
THE MINISTER SAID that programs aimed at developing a nuclear-powered submarine would produce as a result the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons.
center, but also was rapidly dispersed by police.
"Through the natural development of research the country will inevitably one day have the material necessary to build the bomb," the minister said.
He said that nationally-conducted research would allow enrichment of uranium to a level better than 70 percent. Da Fonseca did not say what process of uranium enrichment would be used
The disturbances erupted over food price increases, rumors of a substantial hik in tuition fees for students and a new border tax to reduce smuggling between Morocco and Spain's North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.

Nuke ability forecasted for Brazil by the 1990s
Brazil has a research program with
West Germany to develop the "jetnozzle" enrichment process as part of its multi-billion dollar nuclear power and technology transfer program.
THE MADRID NEWSPAPER El Pais, quoting Morocco officials in Melilla, said about 100 people were killed in rioting in Alhucesca, a Mediterranean coastal city between Melilla and Ceuta.
But sources have said the jet-nozzle technique has failed to overcome its original defect of requiring excessive energy for the enrichment, possibly even more than the eventually-enriched uranium would produce.
confirming that at least 40 people were killed in Nador, 8 miles south of Melilia, by soldiers fired from helicopters.
His comments came as Finance Minister Ernane Galveas headed for New York for final talks with U.S. and other bankers on a $6 billion loan to finance the big and small banks around the economy to help the country's alling economy.
JORNAL DO BRAZIL said two parallel enrichment research programs have been started with the air force studying laser enrichment at the Sao Jose dos Campos advanced studies ultra-centrifuge enrichment at the Sao Paulo Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research.
The government's economic plan was aimed at funding Morocco's 9-year old war with Polisario guerrillas to consolidate control of the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara, estimated to cost Morocco $1.25 million per day.
The loan was expected to be made final by Friday. Brazil's foreign debt, the largest in the world, stands at more than 190 billion.
U.S. and Israel plan talks on military ties
WASHINGTON — U.S. and Israeli officials plan to meet in Washington this week to discuss the start of a new U.S.-Israeli military alliance that has been a source of friction between the United States and Arab nations.
It also sought to meet the demands of international creditor nations for the rescheduled of Morocco's $11 billion foreign debt, swollen by drought and the falling price of phosphates, the country's main foreign currency earner.
The so-called strategic consensus, established last November, was originally announced as marking a new chapter for the United States and Israel.
be severely punished.
Just before Hassan's address, police again clashed with club-wilding demonstrators. Witnesses said riot police dispersed a group of about 100 young people brandishing clubs and stones in the ancient Medina quarter of Casablanca near the city's port.
IN ADDITION, SAUDI ARABIA announced last week that it will买 a French air defense system to protect its oil fields. Saudi officials were quoted in French reports as saying that the U.S. Israel allied design department would buy a French instead of American defense system.
THE SOVEREIGN MADE no mention of arrests in connection with the incidents, but warned that Morocco "remains a country where the law is to be respected and all lawbreakers will be severely punished."
Secretary of State George Shultz,
however, publicly played down the
new alliance after angry protests
from Muslim groups and organizations
such as Tunisia and Morocco.

French diplomats in Washington said the Saudis chose the $4.5 billion French system because the French
SHLUTZ HAS SAID that the strategic consensus with Israel, which includes giving Israel some $2.6 billion in U.S. military aid, followed the recommendations of a U.S. commission on U.S. assistance.
The Israeli team is to meet in Washington, probably starting tomorrow, with a U.S. group led by Jonathan Howe, director of politico-military affairs at the State Department.
U. S. officials said the talks, which will probably last two or three days, would include:
- General discussions on the Soviet threat to the Middle East and in ways in which the United States and Israel can cooperate in other regions, including Latin America and the Pacific Basin.
