WASHINGTON - Unemployment rose in all but four states during the one year period ending in February, the government reported yesterday. The
The Labor Department said preliminary data showed unemployment surged 1.6 to 9.8 percent between February 1981 and February 1982.
The figures were not seasonally adjusted. The official unemployment rate in March was reported at 49 percent with about 10 million Americans looking for work.
Michigan, which depends largely on the auto industry, had the highest unemployment rate of all the states with 16.1 percent, the report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found.
The four states where unemployment declined during the year were Delaware, New Mexico, South Dakota and North Dakota.
Delaware, New York
Wyoming and Oklahoma had the lowest unemployment rates with 4.8
percent each in the department said.
Among 223 major areas reporting for February 1982, unemployment rates ranged from more than 20 percent in Modesto, Calif., and Anderson, Ind., to less than 5 percent.
35 percent Michigan was not included in this breakdown, and a department spokesman said it was possible that some Michigan towns or cities had jobless rates higher than 20 percent.
Plane crash kills 27 servicemen
ANKARA, Turkey - A U.S. C-130 cargo plane crashed in central Turkey yesterday, killing all 27 American servicemen aboard, U.S. officials said.
A Turkish military spokesman said an official team sent to the crash site, 285 miles east of Kufaru, found no survivors. Rescuers recovered 22 bodies in the crash.
The U.S. embassy spokesman said earlier that the plane carried 18 passengers and 10 crewmen and that 28 male servicemen died. But U.S. Air Force officials have denied the claim.
A Pentagon spokesman in Washington said the four-engine, propeller-driven plane was on a routine supply mission and was attached to the 458rd Air Force Wing.
The identities of those on board were not immediately released and the cause of the crash was not known. Officials said an inquiry into the crash has

Christian Democrats reject coalition
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador—EI Salvador's Christian Democrats rejected calls by rightist parties for a coalition government yesterday and charged that death squads were stalking the ruling party's deputy-elect, sources said.
Leaders of the U.S.-backed Christian Democrat party were expected to announce their decision to reject the proposal at a news conference last night. Sources in the ruling Democratic party said they would boycott the convention, which they own only two cabinet posts—the foreign ministry and the treasury ministry.
One Christian Democrat source said the party's deputies-elect were in hiding because groups of armed rightist killers were attempting to
The Salvadoran election commission, meanwhile, began paving the way for selection of a new interim president by presenting credentials to the newly elected assembly that will choose a new leader and rewrite the constitution. The rightists won 33 of the 60 assembly seats.
Church urges release of Walesa
WARSAW, Poland.-Poland's Roman Catholic Church yesterday urged the release of 107 prisoners and other insurgent Solidary leaders on the four-national universities of Warsaw.
A document drafted by the advisory council of Archbishop Josef Glemp and sent to Poland's 27 bishops and the military regime said only a new social agreement between the government and unionists could restore hope for Poles.
The church has called for the release of the interned leaders before, but yesterday's request was its strongest, most direct statement since martial
The government said there were 3,154 interred Poles, but underground Solidarity sources placed the number at more than 4,000.
In its first broadcast, clandestine Solaridarity appealed to Poles late Monday to switch off their lights and light candles for 15 minutes starting at 9:30 a.m.

illion worth of military materials to Taiwan, $60 million
The package, submitted to Congress for approval, features spare parts and supplies for Taiwan's American-built aircraft, including jet fighters, helicopters and transports. Congress could veto the deal if both houses don't give it a majority vote by May 13.
The Chinese government has objected vigorously to U.S. assistance to the Taipei regime, declaring they will not negotiate the issue. Peking considers the United States to be an obstacle for its trade relations.

Aid to Taiwan is a key concern to the stance conservative supporters of President Reagan, who argue that the island's anti-communist government was betrayed by the restoration of friendly relations with Peking started by President Richard Nixon's administration a decade ago.
DALLAS--Rock singer David Crowby, who founded Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, was arrested yesterday in a dressing room on cocaine charges and possession of a 45-caliber pistol. It was his second arrest on similar charges in two weeks.
Police on routine rounds at the rock club Cardi's found Crosby sitting in the dressing room with a bag of what they suspected was cocaine and a 48-hour jail sentence.
Crosby, 40, was arrested between sets in a show played to a sellout crowd of about 750. He was released on a writ of habeas corpus at 4 a.m. Habeas corpus is a form of petition filed to seek the prompt release of a person in custody. Those holding the person must justify the detainment.
Commencement plans to weather storms
Organizers of the 1982 KU commencement on May 16 hope this year's weather will be better than last year's.

Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said about 5,100 people would be eligible to participate in the ceremony. The total includes 1,500 graduate, 3,600 summer and fall students, 3,600 students who plan to graduate this spring.
"There are always many people who there are in planning to graduate soon, he said.
However, he said, only about 3,000 to a might actually graduate this spring.
Julian estimated that about 3,000 people would participate in the campaign.

Uncle Sam is breathing down your
Tomorrow at midnight is the deadline for filing 1981 tax returns.
Business has been brisk at the local income tax preparers' offices for the past two weeks.
Peggy Barlow, tax preparer for Beneficial Income Tax Service, 946 Massachusetts St., said yesterday the office had been very busy since about three months ago. She said she was not sure whether this year was any buster than last year.
"I it always seems like this," she said. But Barlow said not many students had been to her class.
"Most students have the short forms (104A) and they do them early," she said.
PAT DUERKESEN, office manager H & R Block, 23rd and Ousdahl streets,
said that office also had been very busy for the past two weeks.
"It's been much heavier at the end of this year than last year," she said.
She said that if a person had earned less than $3,900, he did not have to file a return. But, she said, most people do not get back to ghek whatever taxes they paid.
Bill Lawrence, assistant postmaster in Lawrence, said because of work cutbacks, the postal service would not extra people on duty Thursday night.
Returns must be postmarked no later than midnight April 15 to avoid a penalty.
But, he said, any mail placed in the box at the Vermont Post Station, 645 Vermont St., by 2:30 a.m. Friday would have a p.m. postmark on it.
