U.N. chief blames N. Korea for deaths
By United Press International
PANMUNJOM, Korea — The commander of the United Nations Command yesterday demanded that North Korea punish border guards who chased a Russian defector into South Korea. The chase triggered a firefight that left four soldiers dead and an American private wounded.
At a four-hour meeting of the Korean Military Armistice Commission in the truce village of Pamunjo, 35 miles north of Seoul, U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Charles Horne, the commander, also denied North Korea's charge that U.N. guards abducted the defector.
North Korean commission delegates insisted that the young Russian had inadvertently strayed across the border and was kidnapped.
But Horne said the detector, Vasily玉levakchev Matzuk, 22, a foreign service trainee at the Soviet Embassy in Pyongyang, had planned his
escape for two years. Horne showed
a shape of the defector to back his claim.
"I am from Moscow and I am a Russian." Matzuk said in clear English in the videotaped statement. "I decided to defect approximately six months, a fifth-year student, of the Moscow Institute of International Relations."
Matsuok made his defection while touring the border area as part of a group sponsored by the North Koreans. While pretending to pose for a photograph near the border the borderer he brutely entered the yard yelp into the southern sector of Pamunjam and hid in a swamp, another 185 yards from the border.
Horne said that Matuzok shouted for help to two U.N. Command guards as he dashed down a road into the south with several North Korean guards in pursuit. More than 20 northern guards chased him, touching off a gunfight with U.N. Command guards on duty.
Sandinista says U.S. inflates rebel figures
By United Press International
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — The Reagan administration exaggerates the number of U.S.-backed guerrillas fighting to overthrow the Sandinista government, a Nicaraguan government official said yesterday.
Deputy Interior Minister Luis Carrion said the rebels numbered about 9,000 instead of the 12,000 to be used by the Reagan administration.
But Carrion said the threat posed by the guerrillas and a possible U.S invasion had not diminished. He said the state of full military alert declared Nov. 12 would remain in place.
Carrion said about 5,000 rebels were fighting in the northern mountain region of Nicaragua, 1,500 to 2,000 along the northern Atlantic coast, about 800 near the Costa Rican border and 1,000 inside Honduras.
Three separate rebel groups are fighting to overthrow the Sandinistas. The Nicaraguan Democratic Force, or FDN, concentrates its fighting in the northern provinces, operating from bases in neighboring Honduras.
The Democratic Revolutionary Alliance is based on Nicaragua's southern border with Costa Rica. The third, a group of Miskato Indian rebels known as Misura, carries out attacks along the Caribbean coast.
U.S. to seek early negotiations
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George Shultz intends to start arms reduction talks with the Soviets in January, not just discuss an agenda for nuclear weapons negotiations, a top State Department official said yesterday.
Shultz is to meet Andrei Grietko, the Soviet foreign minister, Jan. 7 and 8 in Geneva in an effort to break the arms control impasse resisted the last year when the Russian walked out of negotiations.
Richard Burt, assistant secretary of state for European affairs, who will accompany Shultz to Geneva, said: "I think the most important priority is to get the negotiating process under way again.
"WE'D LIKE TO get the negotiations started actually in Geneva in January and we will be working to that end. It's fine to talk about it to talk about approach, but it's important that we start negotiating."
Once negotiations begin, Burt said on NBC's "Today" program, "We want the Soviet Union for the first time to sit down and agree to actual (weapons) reductions. Another priority is verifiability, that is, our ability to monitor agreements."
Not negotiable in the U.S. view, he said, will be any Soviet conditions before talks begin.
The Soviets broke off the talks last winter after the United States began deploying cruise and Pershing-2 medium nuclear missiles in several Western European countries to counter Soviet
missiles already aimed against U.S. NATO allies.
MOSCOL HAD DEMANDED that the new U.S. missiles be pulled out before arms talks could be resumed.
"We're not again going to pay a price," he said. "We're not going to stop deploying those missiles simply to get back to the negotiating table."
Burt said the Soviets had been told that deployment of the missiles could be stopped and that those in place could be removed only under an arms agreement and not as a condition for negotiations.
Burt said the United States also would consider a moratorium on the testing of anti-satellite weaponry, the course of genome negotiation.
Salvadoran court defends ruling
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador — The Salvadore Supreme Court yesterday sharply criticized an AFLCIO attack on its decision to clear an army lieutenant in the murders of two American members of the labor organization and a Salvadoran land reform official.
In a rare action, the court published a full-page newspaper advertisement defending its Nov. 15 decision to permanently drop legal
proceedings against Lt. Isidro Lopez Sibrian.
The heutenant was named by two confessed trigerman as the officer who gave them guns and orders to killed Mark David Pearlman and Michael Hammer, AFL-CIO land reform advisers, and Jose Robollo Viera, head of the Salvadoran land reform agency.
The men were shot to death in a San Salvador hotel Jan. 3, 1981.

"The position of the Supreme Court is clear; to follow the constitution and the law. It does not respond to threats or pressures, and it will not its rulings except through law's proceedings," the statement said.
A communique signed by AFL-CIO president Lane Kirkland in San Salvador newspapers Saturday said the Salvadorian justice system was "absolutely inadequate for punishing an army official."
