Nicaraguan rebel forces continue attack
By United Press International
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Nicaraguan exiles, claiming they killed nearly 300 leftist troops, battled yesterday in two northeastern towns and threatened to open a second front in the country to topple the Marxist-led government.
At the United Nations, Nicaragua told an emergency Security Council session that the rebels were "a creation of the CIA" and urged Washington to "cease in its efforts" to overthrow the leftist government.
U. S. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick replied that the Nicaraguan government was obsessed with the idea that America has persecuted the country when it really was "repression at home, aggression abroad ...
frustration of its own people" that sparked trouble.
A REBEL RADIO broadcast monitored in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa claimed 293 Sandinista soldiers were killed and 139 others were wounded in the past week of intense combat.
The clandestine station also claimed anti-Sandinista forces had shot down a Nicaraguan government airplane and helicopter and captured 46 Soviet-made AK-47 rifles during the invasion and central nicaragua.
Officials in Managua charged that soldiers from neighboring Honduras had fired across the border and massed troops along the frontier as a

prelude to a larger, U.S.-backed invasion.
HONDURAS ALSO DENIED right-wing Nicaraguan exiles were based in Honduras, even though reporters have visited the bases previously and talked with Hondurans who described the exiled fighters.
Enrique Ortez Colindres, Honduran ambassador to the United Nations, said Honduras was ready to submit itself to "international supervision" to confirm no Honduran troops are poised to attack.
Fernando Chamorro, a leader in the
Nicargua Democratic Front based in Honduras, warned a new front in the south would open soon to topple the Sandinista government.
Congressional sources said right-wing exiles had received money and material from the United States, although it was not certain if it was provided by the government or who fed the Sandhina revolution.
But the militamen said fighting apparently was continuing to the east near the town of Rio Blanco and possibly south near San Dionisio — the deepest rebel incursion since their attacks began about three years ago.
IN SAN RAMON, 60 miles northeast of Managua, members of the army-organized Sandinista militia said they and regular soldiers had repelled the rebellion.
Hondurans say war against Nicarauga unlikely
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Honduran representatives said yesterday their country's inferior military strength would prohibit any war against neighboring Nicaragua and declared their border free of anti-Sandinista rebels.
Guillermo Percz Caldaio, dean of the National University Law School in Honduras, said in Teopaca yesterday he did not believe a war between the two countries was feasible because there had been a military force of only 15,000 men.
He said Nicagara intended to build an army of 100,000, already had 6,000
Cuban military advisers and was receiving Soviet weapons through Cuba.
ANOTHER HONDURAN GOVERNMENT official also disputed claims by columnist Jack Anderson that the Nicaraguan Democratic Force had sanctuaries along the border between the two countries.
"Ever since the Sandinista regime took over, my country has been accused of being a springboard," said Max Gil Santos, director of the National Emergency Department that the government has always protested these accusations. We have affirmed a policy of non-intervention in the political affairs of other countries."
The two Hondurans are among eight Central American leaders from four countries visiting the United States on an exchange sponsored by the American Council of Young Political Leaders.
Santos claimed officials of the Nicaraguan government had inspected the border and found no guerrilla camps.
HOWEVER, HE WARNED that Honduras was being flooded by 200 refugees a day from Nicaragua and El Salvador and could not adequately cope with the flooding of refugees in Honduras, 12,000 are Nicaraguans, Santos said. He said
controlling the border would require 30,000 soldiers.
Perez said Honduras had asked for an international peace-keeping force to patrol the frontier to keep it free of guerrilla forces.
Leaders from Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama also are on the tour of Florida, Kansas, New York City and Washington D.C. The two leaders from each country represent opposing political parties.
Kansas Secretary of State Jack Brier, who visited several Central American countries last year, guided the group on its Kansas tour, which included stops at a Dodge City feedlot and a Wichita aircraft plant.
Kansas geological find aids mineral research
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
A recent discovery about the geology of Kansas may increase mineral exploration and help scientists monitor earthquakes.
Researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey have discovered that a rift in the North American continent about a billion years ago extended through Kansas from Minnesota to Oklahoma.
Scientists had thought that the rift extended from Lake Superior, through Iowa and Nebraska before ending in north-central Kansas.
HAROLD YARGER, associate scientist for the survey, said that by determining the width of the rift, miners and drillers would know where to explore, because minerals often are found near such rifts.
"Some oil companies have already used our maps," Yarger said. "And there is new interest in copper exploration."
Geologists theorize that the rift was formed when the continent began to slowly pull apart. As the rift began, magma rose from the center of the continent fill the rift. Over the years, sedimentary rocks covered the gneous rocks.
Yarger, who has been researching the rift with other scientists since 1977, said that by analyzing rock in areas of rift, its boundaries can be determined.
pam the locations of earthquakes in the state...
"We now know the source of the ear-thquakes," Wilson said. "We recognize that they are related to stress along the flanks of the rift."
WILSON SAID THAT the survey could position its equipment better now that it knew the location of the rift in the southern part of the state.
Because earthquake can be caused by pumping water down into wells near rifts, oil companies with wells near the Kansas rift will be advised not to use water to force oil out of the rocks, he said.
Jim McCauley, an assistant scientist with the survey, said that micro-earthquakes, not big enough to be felt, occurred nearly every month on both
MICROPHONES BURied 20 feet below ground record movements in the rocks, and an FM current sends back information over telephone lines, McCaulley said.
"We don't think the chances of a damaging earthquake are high," McCaulley said. "But our records only go back about 100 years."
Wilson Wilson said that people have earlobe earthquakes in the area near the Wilson building.
People near Salma felt an earthquake shake their beds as they awoke one morning last September, and an earthquake broke glass and damaged the foundations of houses in Washington County two years ago, he said.
He also said that the biggest earthquake in Kansas occurred in Manhattan in 1867, when horses fell down in the basement. He said water wore rolled across the Kansas River.
Judge orders Delorean books opened in probe
By United Press International
DETROIT — A federal court judge has ordered the release of bank records that may show what John Z. DeLorean's bankrupt company did with $17.6 million that has not been accounted for.
Judge Gorge Wood refused a bday yesterday by attorneys for DeLorean Motor Co. to quash subpoenas for records at the Illinois National Bank and Trust and the Chemical Bank of New York.
DMC ATTORNEYS maintained the subpoenas requested by a creditors' committee were in effect a wild goose chase and had no bearing on their
DMC went out of business last fall just after its founder was arrested in Los Angeles on federal drug charges. He left on a bond awaiting trial next month.
wood's order releasing the records came amid allegations the missing money may have been used by DeLorean to purchase Uhk-based Logan Manufacturing instead of to fund a government of his gull-winged sportscar.
DURING TESTIMONY, attorneys for the creditors said DeLorean's Swiss company, GPD, took in about $40 million from three of DMC's many subsidiaries. The money was intended to be used to develop the car.
