"There must be more dead, but we're not sure," said Drosette of injuries." A red official said she was.
NORMAN WOLFSON, a public relations man from New York who represents
Somzaa, said the purpose of the air strikes was to strafe snipers who were in the hills out of reach of troops. He denied that the city had been bombed and quoted military officials as saying the snipers were terrorizing the citizenry.
"I think they knocked off the snipers. The team had secured security by the guard last night," Wolfson said.
The Red Cross said at least 24 people had died in fighting since violence began after guerrillas took over the capitol Aug. 22 and seized 1,500 hostages. The guerrillas and nearly 60 political prisoners were given safe passage out of the country as ransom.

She's not alone, and Somoza knows it. He remains held up in his heavily ported office, known as "the bunker," in a mine located on a hill overlooking a lake Managua.

refused widespread calls for his resignation. He says he won't leave office until his term expires in 1981. Many of his opponents said either he will give up the reins of power then.
SEIZURE OF the palace by guerrillas of the leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front brought to a head years of unhappiness with the Somozna regime.
The guerrillas demanded and got freedom and passage to Panama for themselves and political prisoners in exchange for freeing the hostages in the palace. Tens of thousands of Nicaraguans cheered them as heroes as they traveled to the airport.
“There is no doubt that if Cero, the guerrilla leader, were to run for president tomorrow, he would win by a wide margin,” said one opposition businessman.
HATRED OF Somoa has spawned the unlikely coalition of conservative businessmen and Marsatx guerrillas, who are common shortterm goal. Get rid of Somoa.
*Businessmen accuse him of mismanaging the economy, of monopolizing
lucrative business deals and of condoning widespread corruption. They say the longer he stays, the more people will shun moderation and turn to the Sandinistas, who advocate a Marxist state with no free enterprise, as an alternative.
- UNTOLD NUMBERS of ordinary Nicaragua hate him because, they say, he has allowed the national guard. Nicaragua's army, to brutalize the population. Somoza, commander-in-chief of the guard, denies the charges.
- The Nicaraguan Permanent Commission on Human Rights says that since 1974, 2,000 Nicaraguans have disappeared or been kidnapped by the commission estimates only 10 percent are alive. The government has confirmed that 145 persons have been killed in political violence since the beginning of the year, and 38 others have been kidnapped. Opposition sources put the figures higher.
- Leftrits say Somoza has sold out the country to foreign capitalists who exploit the oil resources in Africa.
Paper companies accused of conspiring to fix prices
BOSTON (UPI)—Fifteen major paper manufacturers yesterday were accused of conspiring to fix the price of paper products in a suit filed by the state of Massachusetts.
The action, filed in U.S. District Court, alleges the companies engaged in illegal activities that resulted in the price of fine paper products being raised to artificially high levels, Massachusetts Attorney General Francis X. Bellotti said yesterday.
"These high and fixed prices deprived the petition in the sale of fine paper products and restrained competition in the sale of fine paper products among the defendants."
THE PRODUCTS involved were business and commercial printing and writing papers, publication papers, bond paper, envelopes and tablets, he said.

Unions, post office to begin talks
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service and three unions embark tomorrow on a 15-day negotiating path that bargainers call "the fight for workers' settlement and spare the nation a mail strike."
Under the bargaining arrangement, the two sides have until Sept. 16 to either reach agreement on their own terms or have their sides agree to a arbitrator, whose decision would be final.
Government sources disclosed yesterday that the first session between the Postal Service and the unions would begin at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
the two largest postal unions, representing nearly 500,000 workers, had vowed to stage a walkout if the Postal Service stuck to its refusal to renegotiate the proposed contract rejected last week by the rank and file.
