LA PALMA. El Salvador — The quiet mountain town of La Palma, best known for its colorful folk art, became the focus of world attention yesterday as it readied for historic peace talks between President Jose Napoleon Duarte and rebel leaders.
TELEPHONE LINESMEN scrambled to install lines for journalists and about 100 men from the Public Works Department filled pot
"It's going to be a big fiesta," said a 25-year-old woman guerrilla squad leader interviewed on the highway a few miles south of the town.
The cobbled streets in the town of about 3,500, located in the heart of rebel-controlled Chalatenango province 40 miles north of San Salvador, were swarming with reporters and television news crews assigned to cover the talks.

Two exiled leftist rebel leaders returned to El Salvador yesterday to participate in the
The town was newly white after crews slapped white paint over revolutionary slogans scrawled on walls by rebels.
Along the twisting, ruffled mountain road leading into La Palma, white flags could be seen on poles over the homes of peasants declaring their neutrality in the country's 5-year-old civil war.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of a coup by young, moderate officers who ousted rightist President Carlos Romero and took control of the country in a bad togyrian a leftist insurrection.
THE SUMMIT WILL be the first between the U.S. backed government and the rebels in the civil war that has left some 50,000 people dead. The talks were proposed by Duarte last month in a speech at the United Nations and swiftly agreed to by the rebels.
talks with Duarte, who was under a threat from a rightist death squad for arranging the summit.
Guillermo Manuel Ugo, president of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, known as the FDR, the political arm of the guerrilla coalition, and Ruben Zamora, a top FDR leader, arrived at El Salvador International Airport in Comalapa aboard a Colombian Air Force plane.
"IT IS A VERY emotional moment for me to finally come home after four long years to begin the search for peace and justice in El Salvador." Ungo said. "We are not happy and we are taking so much risk but we find the price of peace worth the risk."
Before its new celebrity, La Palma was best known as the handicraft center of El Salvador, with a cottage industry producing wood carvings of religious and pastoral scenes painted in brilliant reds, blues, oranges and greens.
Fernando Llort, founder of the La Palma
folk art movement, was enthusiastic about the upcoming talks.
"It makes me very happy," he said. "La Palma is the place where we are building peace. It seems to me very symbolic, because 'the palm' is a symbol of peace."
Duarte selected La Palma's Dulce Nombre de Maria Church as the site of the talks.
HE WILL LEAVE San Salvador for La Palma early today in a motorcade of supporters — largely Christian Democratic Party activists and members of pro-Duarte peasant unions.
Christian Democratic spokesman said Duarte supporters were being told to wear white "as a symbol of peace and neutrality."
Guerrillas' operating around La Palma have said they would leave their weapons behind and come to the town, raising the concerns of pro- and anti-Daruite demonstrations.
