BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Argentine said yesterday war with Britain was hours away and warned it might strike first in a pre-emptive attack against the British fleet, now almost within shooting range of the Falkland Islands.
The armed forces were on "yellow alert," the highest alert short of war itself, amid reports that the arrival of a 40-ship British war fleet was imminent.

The government, however, left the door open for a last-ditch peace settlement. It said a new set of U.S. proposals were under study and had not been rejected as reported by Arentine newspapers.
Britain announced that its fleet would impose a total air and sea blockade starting at 7 a.m. Friday.

Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez met with Haig for more than a year, after attending an emergency meeting of the Organization of American States.
Emerging from his meeting with Haig, Costa Mendez said Haig was always welcome in Buenos Aires. If Haig makes the trip, it will be his third visit to the Argentine capital since the crisis arose with Argentina's invasion of the British-rulesed South Atlantic islands April 2.
Reagan, O'Neill disagree on budget
WASHINGTON—President Reagan traveled the "extra mile" to Capitol Hill yesterday for a summit meeting with Democratic House Speaker Thomas O'Neil, but the effort to reach a budget compromise ended in disagreement after three hours.

Reagan was asked before the session began whether he was willing to compromise.

"I'm always willing," Reagan said.

as type-Contributor.
The thieves, members of a guerrilla group tied to a series of anti-Anti-Government bombings, demanded that the Honduran government release an unspecified number of political prisoners and provide a full account of missing people who have "disappeared" for political reasons.
Before issuing any demands, the hijackers asked to speak to Monsignor Andres Díaz Montizemelo, the Honduran representative for Pope John Paul II.
Terrorists burn Ulster bus station
BELFAST, Northern Ireland—Five masked Irish Republican Army terrorists burst into the Armagh bus station early yesterday, held two guards at gunpoint and set off incendiary devices that destroyed 24 buses and the depot in a raging fire.
Firefighters stood helplessly by as the building burned because a car blocking the depot entrance was thought to be booby-trapped, police said.
The IRA claimed responsibility for the attack, which caused no injuries. Damage was estimated at $1.35 million.
The car, which security forces suspected might contain a powerful fragmentation bomb, was later found to be harmless by British Army explosives experts. Police said the car, which belonged to one of the night watchmen, was parked in the building entrance by one of the terrorists.
Poland to release 1,000 prisoners
WARSHA, Poland—Polaris's military leaders said yesterday they would release 1,000 Poles being held in internment camps and would lift the nationwide curfew Sunday. Solidarity Leader Lech Walesa will not be among those freed, his wife said.
the official PAP news agency said to the government, with the approval of the martial law leader, Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, decided to release those internees whose conduct showed they "will pose no threat to social and state security" in Poland, where martial law was imposed Dec. 13.
The Interior Ministry warned, however, that tough measures would be used against those who tried to resume their political activity.
Among the internees already released was the chairman of the rural Solidarity, Jan Kulaj, who was reported to have had talks with Deputy Premier Roman Malinowski on agricultural issues.
NAHAL TELEM, Israeli-Occupied West Bank—Israeli troops shot and wounded 10 Palestinian demonstrators yesterday on Israel's Independence Day, and government officials dedicated nine new outposts on occupied Arab land.
Ten Palestinian demonstrators shot
The new outposts were dedicated with vows of no more retreats in an attempt to sooth Israel hardliners three days after Israel returned the final third of the Sinai to Egypt, thereby destroying Jewish settlements there in the process.
the process.
Also yesterday, the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution declaring Israel was not a peace-loving state and condemning its recent actions against Palestinians in occupied Arab territory.
The resolution fell short of demanding Israel's expulsion from the Assembly after its supporters withdrew that demand under pressure from the United States and other countries.
Brady to testify at Hinckley trial
WASHINGTON—White House Press Secretary James Brady, nearly killed by a bullet fired at President Reagan, is willing to testify at the trial of accused gunman John Hincock Jr., his wife said yesterday.
Brady's wife, Sarah, said that her husband was prepared to tell his story in court, but it is uncertain whether prosecutors would call him to the stand.
Mrs. Brady said, "We've never been told one way or the other," but there had been a conversation with the prosecutor's office on the possibility of Brady appearing in court.
Because the defense has conceded that Hinkley fired the gun, the largest presumed value of Brady's testimony would be to help prosecutors drive him out.
Woman named to run male prison
SACRAMENTO, Calif.-State Corrections Director Ruth Rushn yesterday named the first woman warden of an all-male California prison to replace a superintendent whose staff allegedly took a convicted murderer shopping in Beverly Hills.
If Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. approves the appointment of veteran corrections administrator Midge Carroll, 45, as warden at the California Institution for Men at Chino, she will become the first woman to head a California prison for men.
She was placed in the $532.3-year post at China, a 3,600-mile complex, on a provisional basis following Monday of Superintendent's swearing-in and Deputy Superintendent's swearing-in.
A Department of Corrections spokesman, Phil Guthrie, said that the action was related to investigators' finding that the convicted murderer was escorted from the prison to Beverly Hills to buy clothing, "contrary to department regulations."
