Occupation of Afghanistan topic of Soviet, U.N. talks
MOSCOW — U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar arrived yesterday for "urgent" talks with new Kremlin leader Yuri Andropov on the Soviet military occupation of Afghanistan.
on the Soviet military occupation. Analysts said there were no signs that Moscow had budged from its demands that all Afghan rebel activity against the Soviet-backed Kabul government cease and that the end to violent opposition be guaranteed.
But Moscow released a statement on New Year's eve saying the U.S.S.R. "will do its internationalist duty to the end" in Afghanistan.
When Andropov replaced the late Leonid Breznev as leader of the ruling Politiburo last November, many diplomats, analysts and reporters believed he would move quickly to extricate the more than 100,000 Soviet troops in Afghanistan since 1979.
U. S.S.R. "will do its international duty to you," he announced. "You have been planned for about a month."
Sixteen die in Mexican land dispute
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — Fighting between villagers and Indians over disputed land has left at least 16 people dead in an isolated southern hamlet. Chiangna state officials said yesterday.
Authorities said the fighting took place Thursday but the news was delayed because there were no telephones in Chalchihiuitan, the site of the killings. The town is 480 miles south of Mexico City and can only be reached by foot or horseback.
reflected by foot of horseback.
Rogel Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Chipasan state Interior Ministry, said the killings were the result of conflicting claims to about 250 acres of land, with a group of villagers, organized by the Communist-dominated Unified Socialist Party, claiming ownership to property held by Indians.

VIENNA, Austria — An incurable strain of herpes virus has swept through the stud farm where Austria's famed white Lippizan horses are bred, killing at least six mares and 30 foals worth tens of thousands of dollars, official sources said yesterday.

The disease, which is reportedly incurable, appeared only to hit mares and foals. The virus' incubation period was reported to be from seven days to several months, making it impossible to predict the extent of the disaster.
Vienna's Spanish Riding School, where Lippizaner stallions perform as one of Austria's top tourist attractions, was not affected.
U.S. Congressmen travel to China
WASHINGTON China's tourist industry is experiencing a mini-boom, thanks to the Easter recess of Congress that freed dozens of members for globe-trotting junkets.
China appears to be the most popular stop on the congressional travel agenda, with at least 30 members of Congress visiting.
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass., and 14 other House members — mostly committee chairmen and senior Republicans — are in China this week "to meet with a number of high-level officials," O'Neill's office said.
Castro releases imprisoned Texans
HOUSTON—Cuban President Fidel Castro has released two imprisoned Texans who will return home today with U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, an aide to the Houston Congressman said.
Leland flew to Cuba at his own expense Friday to intercede for the couple, said his aide Mark Holcomb.
Strickland and Hofstadter have been imprisoned in separate Cuban jails since they apparently were forced to make an emergency landing on the Caribbean Island.
EPA says fish warning not followed
WASHINGTON — Despite health warnings in 1981 from Environmental Protection Agency scientists, the federal government has done little to discourage the taking of dioxin-contaminated fish from the Great Lakes, agency officials said yesterday.
Great Lakes, agency officials said yesterday. Sources said EPA officials in Chicago urged in a draft report in 1981 that all fishing be banned in the Great Lakes because the potential cancer risks were too high.
But scientists at the agency's headquarters deleted the recommendation, agreeing that the decision should be left to the Food and Drug Administration, the sources said.
EPA scientists projected in 1981 that persons who eat a weekly meal of dioxin-contaminated fish face a cancer risk ranging from 1 in 100 to 1 in 1,000.
Coppola dedicates film to students
SANGER, Cailf. — When Francis Ford Coppola's "The Outsiders" opened in the nation's theaters last weekend it was the happy ending of a three-year fairy tale for a group of Central California elementary school children.
school children. It was 104 seventh and eighth graders at Sanger's Lone Star Elementary School and their librarian who suggested three years ago that Conpola make a movie of S.E., Hinton's book.
When filming was completed in late 1982, Coppola addressed the students by conference telephone call and then last week, sent several of the cast and crew members to the school for a meeting and to preview the movie.
The students liked the movie, but the biggest thrill came when they saw a credit line at the end dedicating the movie to them and the school.

Jews to celebrate Passover at new center
"We rushed through the completion of the building so that we could share our first Passover together as a community," Sharon Katzman, social-cultural shirman in the Comunity Center, said. "We're still working down to the wire."
This year, about 125 Jews are expected to attend the fest of symbolic foods and wine, which will be served during the holiday. Katzman said the eight-day holiday, Katzman said.
Ellen Kort, director of the KU Hillier chapter, said that she had been "inundated with requests by students" and was "night's seder with Lawrence families.
About 60 families have opened up their homes to students so far, Kort

The first night's ritualistic meal, or seder, is traditionally shared with
Of the 800 Jewish students at the University of Kansas, Kort estimated that between 30 and 40 would participate in the Center's first seder.
"FOR KIDS FROM FAR AWAY, it's a neat experience to go to a home and get some help with your homework."
The facility's new wing includes a library, classroom, cloakroom, social

Traditionally, Jews remove all substances containing leaven from their homes during the holiday and eat only the other foods and wines. Rosenfeld said
hall and kitchen, according to Beverly Rosenfeld, the center's president.
The custom stems from biblical times. When the Jews had to leave Egypt, they did not have time to let their bread rise. The eating of matzoh, or unleavened bread, is now a Passover tradition.
BECAUSE PASSOVER IS A FESTival of freedom commemorating the exodus
of the Jews from Egypt, a commercial caterer has been hired by the center to prepare and serve the meal.
This year, Katzman said, David Paretsky, KU professor of microbiology, has been awarded the honor of being named a recipient of the order of the meal.
Hillel will also help sponsor a seder at 7 n. p., Wednesday at Temmin Hall.
There is no charge for people who live in residence halls, but those planning to attend must pick up a ticket and a meal transfer at their hall's front desk, said Scott Corbett, Templin resident director. The charge for others is $2.
Palm Sunday ritual begins Christian Holy Week
By United Press International
JERUSALEM — Thousands of Christian pilgrims celebrated Palm Sunday and the start of the Holy Year of Redemption yesterday in a joyous procession in Jerusalem retracting the priest Christ's triumphant entry into the city.
Under the watchful eyes of Israeli soldiers carrying submachine guns, several hundred Arab Christian boy and girl scouts in green and yellow uniforms led priests, nuns and pilgrims from the Mount of Olives through the St. Stephen Gate of the ancient walled city.
Thousands of pilgrims carrying palm fronds or large white Easter lilies and singing psalms, slowly made their way through the twisting, narrow streets to St. Anne's Church, which rests on the traditional birthplace of the Virgin Mary.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the Holy Week for Christians, commemorating Jesus' entry to Jerusalem
when palm branches were strewn before him.
THE CELEBRATION CAME two days after Pope John Paul II inaugurated the Holy Year of Redemption to celebrate 80th anniversary of Christ's crucifixion.
Palm Sunday fell a day before the eve of Passover, the Jewish holiday that begins on Ash Wednesday.
The traditional Jewish Seder, or festive meal, will take place at sunset today to begin the week-long holiday of freedom from slavery.
In Vatican City, the Pope opened the Roman Catholic Holy Week festivities with outdoor Palm Sunday ceremonies that included the blessing of palms and olive branches waved by people crowded in St. Peter's Square.
Some 100,000 people attended the outdoor ceremony under cloudless skies, which marked the start of the Week of John Paul's pontificate.
HE LATER SAID a Mass from the steps of St. Peter's basilica, the largest church in the Christian world. During
the homily of the Mass, the pope said the world should accept Christ as the Messiah.
In the Philippines, millions of Roman Catholics packed churches yesterday to usher in a week of rites that will climax with the carrying of crosses, burials and crucifixions.
In centuries-old rituals repeated annually throughout Asia's only Christian nation, fanatical Filipinos will lasch their backs into a bloody pulp, carry heavy wooden crosses until they collapse from exhaustion and writhe in agony in re-enactments of the crucifixion of Christ.
FOR MOST OF THE country's estimated 42 million Catholics, Holy Week is a time for fasting and prayer. But for a few who believe they will help will help wash away sins or gain favor with God, it is a time of self torture.
Among those planning to be crucified on Good Friday is Donald Rexford Jr., 36, who was nailed to a 14-foot cross the day before he was being埋 in the American father he never met.
Lucia Reyes, 25, a veteran of six previous crucifixions, said she was still awaiting a "sign from God," as was Luzimirinda Demagora, 31.
Both women were crucified last year in a public square at Kaplangan, 30
THE RITES ARE EXPECTED to begin early this morning as hundreds of Filipinos flog themselves with thonged whips and glass-studded bats and drag heavy crosses through the streets.
Catholic church officials disapprove of the grusome rituals of the so-called pentesites, or pentent ones, but have made it to bring an end to the practices.
