Radio reports rebel retreat as Salvadoran army nears
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador — Guerrillas safely withdrew from Berlin, the largest Salvadoran city ever to fall into rebel control, and escaped a 2,000-troop army counter-attack yesterday, according to reports from Venceremos, the clandestine rebel radio station.
The radio reports said the retreat was ordered because "all political and military objectives were completed" in Berlin in eastern Usuanian land.
The report could not be independently confirmed. The rebels occupied the city, 50 miles east of San Salvador, earlier this week.
Several of the soldiers who rushed to the new offensive said they were brought from the army's stalled 6,000-man anti-insurgency drive in northern Morazan province.
One military specialist in close contact with the Salvadoran high command said the army might have suffered a defeat in Morazan.
The Defense Ministry yesterday conceded its 18-day-old Morazan offensive failed to recapture the guerrilla-held town of Perquim and Pirineu.
U.N. delegate denied visa for forum
LOS ANGELES — A Vietnamese diplomat assigned to the United Nations has been denied permission by the State Department to attend a conference of the largest group of Vietnam War experts ever assembled, organizers announced yesterday.
Nguyen Ngoc Dung, deputy permanent representative of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the United Nations, has been told she would not be permitted a visa to attend "Vietnam Reconsidered: Lessons from a War," beginning Sunday, spokesman Ed Cray said.
She is not permitted to travel more than 25 miles from New York City and will participate in the conference through a radio hookup arranged by California Public Radio.
More than 85 journalists, government policy makers, veterans, Army generals and anti-war protesters will attend the conference.
Military to be considered employed
WASHINGTON — The 1.7 million members of the armed forces stationed in the United States will be counted tomorrow as part of the nation's total labor force in a new alternative jobless rate issued by the Labor Department.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics decided to include members of the volunteer military with its January unemployment data to be released tomorrow.
The bureau estimates the first-time addition of armed forces members as workers will cause a decrease of one-tenth or two-tenths of a percentage point in what the jobless rate would be otherwise.
Had the military been included in the December data, the jobless rate would have been 10.7 percent rather than 10.8 percent; the bureau said.
Pontiff installs 18 new cardinals
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II installed 18 new Roman Catholic cardinals yesterday, including an American committed to nuclear disarmament and the leader of the church in communist Poland.
The pope and the new cardinals later celebrated a Mass together in St. Peter's Basilica, during which the pontiff placed gold cross-shaped medallions, rings on each of their hands.
The pope said to each man, "You receive this ring from the hand of Peter and may you know that with the love of the prince of the apostles your love toward the church is reinforced."
Among the new cardinals was Archbishop Joseph Bernardin, 54, of Chicago, leader of a group of U.S. churchmen working for nuclear disarmament, and Archbishop Jozef Glemp, Poland's Roman Catholic primate.
Justice stops ruling on school praver
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell yesterday stopped Alabama teachers from leading prayer in classrooms until a court challenge to the practice is resolved.
Powell issued an order postponing last month's ruling by a Mobile, Ala., federal judge who threw out suits challenging classroom prayer in the state.
He acted on a request submitted by Ishmael Jaffree, the agnostic who brought the suit. Lawyer Romie Williams told Powell that unless prayer was halted, Jaffree's three children, enrolled in Mobile County schools, were allowed to pray during school in violation of Pew Amendment rights.
U. S. District Judge W. Brevard Hand of Mobile threw out Jaffree's May 1982 lawsuit last month.
Cranston enters race for presidency
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Sen. Alan Cranston of California yesterday became the first Democrat to enter the 1984 presidential race, pledging, if elected, to meet with the Soviets and end the "insane" nuclear arms race.
After making his announcement in Washington, Cranston flew to New Hampshire, where the nation's first primary takes place, to launch his campaign.
"I come here today to announce my intention to campaign for the office of president of the United States," he said in Washington, "I have no other choice . . . not if I am to remain loyal to the principles which I have developed during four decades of public life."
The three-term senator is considered to be trailing far behind Democrats Walter Mondale, former Vice President, and Sen. John Glenn of Ohio, who have not yet announced their candidacy.
Californian cited for drunk cycling
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — When a Toyota and a bicycle collided at an intersection Monday, police issued a drunken driving ticket to the cyclist.
Rory Marvin Johnson, 21, a sailor stationed at nearby Moffett Field, probably will be booked on the charges when he recovers from his broken leg.
Mountain View police say Johnson pedaled through a red light and collided with the car. He probably is the first person cited under a new California law banning drunken bicycle riding.
The law was passed by the California Legislature after a state court freed a tipsy bicyclist who was arrested for weaving down a street.
The law, which took effect Jan. 1, bans "pedaling while intoxicated" and carries a fine of $250.
Correction
Because of a reporting error, yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Zalema Bond Harris would speak at 2 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Lawrence Community Building. She will be speaking at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at a soul food dinner sponsored by the office of minority affairs and Ellsworth Hall. The dinner will be at Ellsworth.
Renegade truckers stop hundreds of rigs
Highway terrorists forced hundreds of non-striking truck drivers off the nation's highways yesterday, pashing through traffic near a town placed for outside help.
By United Press International
The strike by the independent Truckers Association, representing about 100,000 truckers, was beginning to cut into fresh food supplies.
The independent truckers, who carry about 90 percent of the nation's fresh food and vegetables, are protesting the tax increase and higher road-use fees.
Kansas was one of few states yesterday reporting no violence, but the peace appeared to have been hard-won — heavy snow kept truckers from doing business. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported yesterday that no violent incidents had occurred since the strike began earlier Monday.
TRAFFIC WAS reported lighter on turnips as more drivers refused to run a gantlet of bushwackers attacking them with gunfire, firebombs, scattered nails and just about anything they could pick up and throw.
Much of the violence occurred around Somerset, a community along the Pennsylvania Turnpike nearly 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh with major interchanges nearby and an exit ramp within city limits. The stretch of road has become known as the "combat zone."
Pennsylvania was hardest hit, with 96 incidents of violence since Monday, including 35 shootings and nine injuries.
City officials were asking the state to declare an emergency.

police or National Guard out there dealing with it than my 10-mon police force," said town manager Michael Mahaneh.
A UNITED PRESS international count yesterday showed at least 541 incidents of vandalism or violence — including 161 shootings — had been reported in 37 states since the strike began early Monday.
A Teamsters union driver in North Carolina was killed and 28 other people two been injured, two of them seriously. At least 15 people have been arrested.
Bennett C. Whitlock Jr., president of the American trucking Association, yesterday urged Attorney General William French Smith to end the strike.
"Responsible and law-abiding members of the trucking industry demand that escalating violence and interpersonal conflict cease." Whitlock said in a letter.
Truckers in Phoenix, their horns blarred, circled the Arizona Capitol with signs taped to their rigs saying "We are out," and "Shut-down or we all loose."
FRUIT AND vegetables deliveries were fewer at New York City's produce distribution centers, officials said, and shortages may soon be seen in stores.
Bill Weeks, Texas Citrus and Vegetable Association official, said the peak of the winter season was on and "available transportation is not adequate to fill our needs." He said drivers willing to take loads were expected to get 10 to 15 percent more than they normally would.
Ranking shows federal money distributed evenly
By United Press International
WASHINGTON - From Social Security payments to defense dollars, the government spread $603.6 billion among the states last year; with Alaska getting the most per capita and Iowa the Census Bureau reported yesterday.
But the first-ever detailed ranking of federal spending also revealed a remarkable degree of even-handedness, government analysts said, with 42 states falling within 25 percent of the $2.91 national average in federal dollars received for each man, woman and child.
"Direct payments to Social Security recipients may be concentrated in Florida and defense procurements in California, but overall, when you look at the numbers, there's a surprising leveling that takes place," said census analyst John Coleman.
THE REPORT covered the 94 percent of federal spending that occurs in the 50 states and excluded spending in the District of Columbia and interest paid on the national debt.
The ranking of federal spending per state on a per capita basis for 1981 and 1982 was the first ever produced by government.
FEDERAL SPENDING within the United States grew 7.4 percent from
1981 to 1982, compared with the increase in the inflation rate, of 6.1 percent, the report said.
The biggest winner when the total spending was divided among the population was Alaska, with $4,533.26 received in federal dollars for every inhabitant. With its relatively small population and big defense installations, the first-place ranking was to be expected, analysts said.
In volume of spending, California was first, with $75 billion received in federal salaries, welfare and defense spending, 11.9 percent ahead of 1981.
WHEN RANKED according to spending per person, Virginia, with its massive federal employment in the area of the nation's capital, was in ninth place. Mexico was third highest, Connecticut fourth, Maryland fifth and Hawaii sixth.
Distributed among California's population, the 1882 spending was $3,100.25 a person.
On the low side, Iowa received the least federal dollars per person in 1982, at $1,792.22. Indiana was second lowest, at $1,849.16 per capita.
In volume of spending, Wyoming received the fewest federal dollars in 1982, only $1.04 billion.
Fiscal crisis dims hope for work-study program
Mississippi received the most food stamp benefits per person, $90.05 last year, and Wyoming received the least, $14.93.
The outlook for Gov. John Carlin's proposed state work-study program is bleak, two Kansas legislators said yesterday.
State Rep. R.E. Arbuthnot, R-Haddam, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said that if the money were allocated for a state work-study program, it would be given to the guard of Regents for distribution. The program also would require matching funds from each school, he said.
Arbuthnot said the program was first presented in Carlin's 1984 budget plan, but that the specifics of the it were not yet known.
STATE REP, William Bunter, R-Topea, said, "I think that the program has a lot of merit. But at the same time we are supplying $6.2 million in student
He said the Ways and Means Committee would know more about the proposal after briefings next Monday and Tuesday.
aid Our money problems are pretty, heavy."
For example, he said, the governor has recommended that the General Assistance program be eliminated. The program provides money to people whose unemployment benefits have run out, he said.
SCOTT SWENSON, campus director for the Associated Students of Kansas, said the passage of the work-study program was one of ASK's goals this session.

ASK prepared a pamphlet that was distributed Tuesday with the paychecks of all University student employees. The pamphlets encouraged them to write their legislators about the work-study program, he said.
"The issue could be decided on the basis of how much mail the legislators receive," Swenson said. "They will affect the students' interest."

Rounds of talks, criticism mark Shultz's visit to China
By United Press International
PEKING — Secretary of State George Shultz arrived here yesterday on a crucial fence-mending mission, but China's foreign minister told him that "dark clouds" still over Chinese-American relations.
As Shultz began a long round of talks with Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian, China's o'ficial Communist Party newspaper blasted Washington and demanded a halt to joint U.S.-South Korean war games.
ARRIVING FROM Tokyo for a four-day visit, Shultz told reporters on his plane that North Korea's declaration of a military alert in response to the war games was a provocation that raised the level of
The joint maneuvers, the largest ever by the two nations, prompted the North Korean government to put its troops on "semi-war" alert.
tension in the Korean peninsula.
Some 40,000 U.S. troops based in South Korea joined an estimated 150,000 for maneuvers that began Tuesday.
A SHULTZ AIDE said that the talks with China's foreign minister focused on international issues such as tensions in the Middle East and Russia, two sides had "a very serious" "very frank" exchange of views
But the official said that Shultz and Wu also found points of agreement and that it was understood that the visit had thought that the visit had begun well.
