News Briefs From United Press International Cohort's account of deaths contradicts Salvadoran view
AMSTEENDAM, Netherlands — A reporter who identified the bodies of four Dutch television journalists was murdered in El Salvador said yesterday.
"The official Salvadoran government version that my colleagues were killed in a firefight between soldiers and guerrillas is without any basis," Dutch journalist Hans Van Geren said on his return from El Salvador. "The evidence suggesting murder is far too strong."
Van Gerven identified the slain journalist in a San Salvador morgue and said that the bodies of the men, who were killed Wednesday, appeared to be women.
in response to Van Gerven's statements, El Salvador's Roman Catholic church yesterday called for an investigation into the slayings.
All of the officers are at least 20 years old and have been in the army had reported that the journalists were shot dead from a distance of 75 to 120 yards during a guerrilla clash with government forces.
San Salvador's Acting Archbishop, Monsignor Aruro Riera y Damas,
said in his Sunday sermon that the killings had raised many unanswered
In an apparent rebuttal of the army's warning that reporters should not visit combat sites, the army said it had a right to seek information from its sources no matter what the situation was.
The four Dutch journalists were traveling with rebels as part of an assignment on life in guerrilla-controlled areas when they were killed.
The shooting occurred shortly after the journalists were dropped off on a country road to make contact with the guerrillas.
Van Gerren criticized the U.S. Embassy's handling of its preliminary finding on the killings, saying American officials ruled out murder before the investigation.

Inside the church, the empty chair next to Walaena's wife, Danuta, gave silent testimony to the refusal of the martial law government to temporarily free him for the christening of his seventh child, a 2-month-old girl he has never seen.
The child was christened Maria Wiktoria, a name that underscores the family's strong religious conviction. It stands for "The Victory of Mary, the Mother of Jesus."
Walesa's wife decided to hold the christening despite government rejection of her pleas to release her husband for the day as a humanitarian
The baby was born Jan. 27, six weeks after the Dec. 13 military crackdown in which Walesa and 3,000 Solidarity activists were detained.
Air Force finds final crash victim
WONDER LAKE, Ill.—Air Force investigators yesterday found the body of the last of 27 victims killed in the explosion of an Illinois Air National Guard station near Chicago.
An Air Force spokesman said the body of the last victim, still unidentified, was found yesterday afternoon in a section of the main fuselage of the plane.
The converted Boeing 707 crashed late Friday evening in a swampy wooded area 50 miles northwest of Chicago, stewing wreckage and bodies.
Rescue workers Saturday had located all but one of the Air Force personnel and Air National Guardsmen killed when the tanker exploded in the crash.
A 10-man investigative team from Barkside Air Force Base in Louisiana began trying to reconstruct the plane and determine the cause of the crash.
Afghan rebels supported in rallies
WASHINGTON—About 400 people stood in a chilly drizzle yesterday to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and to express their solidarity with the victims.
Hundreds of people across the country, including demonstrators in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, joined rallies that were part of a nationwide protest.
The demonstrators were calling attention to the Soviet involvement in Afghanistan since it sent troops on Dec. 27, 1979.
In a proclamation designating yesterday as Afghanistan Day, President Reagan called for the withdrawal of Soviet troops, and on Saturday he called on Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev to engage in negotiations to end the conflict.
Meanwhile, about 200,000 people demonstrated at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital and denounced Reagan's Afghanistan Day
A Soviet-controlled radio in Kabul said the demonstration was a protest against Afghanistan Day as a move to draw attention to Soviet occupation of
Committee OKs Pell Grant budget
WASHINGTON - Reflecting sharp division in the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, members yesterday voted 9-7 to reject President Regan's proposed $1.4 billion slush in college student financial aid grants and instead urged that the full $2.8 billion be appropriated.
Sen. Claiborne Pell, D-R.I., said that cutting the program in half, as proposed in Reagan's 1983 budget, would mean a 40 percent reduction in the number of students receiving Pell Grants, named for the senator who was reelected to serve in that role. The formal name of the grants is Basic Educational Opportunity Grants.
Full funding of the program is supported by Sen. Robert Stafford, R-Vt., chairman of the education subcommittee, but opposed by full committee members.
Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., joined Stafford and the committee's seven Democrats to approve the full $2.8 billion authorized for the grant program.
Scientists find fossils in Antarctica
The fragments represent the first discovery of a land mammal on the Antarctic peninsula and valid evidence of a long-held theory that the South Pacific oceans were cold.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—A team of American scientists, finishing up a 19-day expedition to Antarctica this month, discovered three jawbone fragments that the National Science Foundation hailed as one of the most significant scientific findings of recent years.
The 10 scientists, led by Dr. William Zinsmeister, 38 senior researcher with the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies, also discovered on the same fossil-rich ancient beach on Antarctica's Seymour Island, the remains of some stalked penguins and 10 large nileans; marine reefs.
While nearly 60 crates of fossils are still being shipped to the United States, the scientists plan to meet with reporters in Columbus today to show pictures of the specimens.
UAW, GM reach tentative terms
DETROIT—The United Auto Workers Union and General Motors Corp. yesterday reached tentative agreement on a contract designed to "stop the abuse of workers."
The concessions made by the union in the new agreement are expected to save the nation's largest automaker at least $2 billion and are similar to those made to the carmaker Toyota.
The agreement was announced at 9 p.m. cst by the UAW. It came after a week of bargaining, wrapping up with a martial-37-hour session that began on Monday.
"We've succeeded in achieving a series of breakthroughs on job security
that will stop the hemorrhaging of GM workers' jobs. UAW president Douglass

City manager contract disputed
By SUSAN AHERN MARUSCO Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission now has a choice between two versions of an employment agreement between City Manager Buford Watson and the city.
At last Tuesday's commission meeting, Mayor Marci Francisco offered her own proposal to the commission. Francis's proposal differs in a number of key areas from a contract Watson submitted on March 4.
Francisco's proposal stipulates that the city should notify Watson two months in advance of firing him and provide full benefits during those two months.
Watson's proposal was drawn up after Commissioner Tom Gleason sent Watson a letter advising him to resign or face the possibility of being fired.
BUT IN his proposed contract, Watson wants the city to give him six months notice before firing him and to
Francisco said, "We should give Watson the same amount of notice that he is required to give us. I think Watson felt nervous when he realized that he could be fired without any severance nav.
Both agreements propose that Watson should give the city two months notice in advance of his resignation date.
pay his $4609 monthly salary throughout the six months.
"But with his kind of salary he should be able to put some money away to hold him over until he finds another job."
Francisco also said that her employment agreement, unlike Watson's, terminates at the end of each year.
"This would force the commission to review Watson's performance every year and do something positively by renewing his contract," Francisco said. "I think it is a good idea that the manager is employed at the pleasure of the commission."
WATSON SAID he planned to talk with Francisco over the weekend about her proposal.
"I feel that six months severance pay is important in these days of economic difficulty." Watson said.
Francisco also said she was against the city paying for Watson's membership in the Rotary Club because the organization discriminated against women. Watson expects the city to pay for this expense.
"I'm not convinced the city should pay for Watson's membership in any clubs, but I'm particularly about it because which the mayor can't join," she said.
No action was taken concerning the pronosals.
In another matter, the three commissioners at Tuesday's meeting pass an ordinance establishing Annapolis as the election date for a vote on the city's drainage fee to customers' water bills.
However, the commission plans to amend this ordinance by changing the election date next week when all commissioners can consider the issue. Commissioners Don Binns and Barkley Clark were out of town.
Commissioners Tom Gleason, Nancy Shontz and Francisco said they wanted to coordinate the storm drainage fee election with the recall election of
