Shultz supports Duarte's peace efforts

By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Secretary of State George Shultz promised unqualified support yesterday to President Jose Napoléon Duarte for the Salvadoran leader's negotiate peace with leftist rebels.
Shultz began his four-hour visit to San Salvador by calling Duarte's proposal Monday to go unarmed to a rebel stronghold for talks a bold and courageous bid to end the nation's civil war that has claimed more than 50,000 lives.
The rebel Leftist guerrillas said yesterday that Duarte bowed to "international pressure" in proposing the talks with them.
DUARTE AND REBEL representatives have agreed to meet on Monday in La Palma, 40 miles north of San Salvador in the Chaltenderque region, the highest-level contact between the two sides in five years of civil war.
Radio Venceremos, which calls itself the "official voice" of the five guerrilla armies that comprise the rebel Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front said world opinion forced Duarte to make the offer.
"It is the result of international pressure from the democratic and progressive forces of the world that have constantly insisted that Duarte join the search for peace." Radio Venceremos said.
The commentary also said the rebels had twice sent Duarte messages of their willingness to talk, through the Rev. Jesse Jackson and through San Salvador Archbishop Autorivera Y damas.
BEFORE ARRIVING IN EI Salvador, Shultz told reporters aboard his airplane that Duarte's initiative "is not only a bold thing on his part but an astute thing because what he

is seeking is what the people want."
"If he succeeds, then I think he had accomplished something for his country. If it turns out the guerrillas don't come or don't come in good faith or whatever, it's still worth a try."
Speaking on the steps of the Presidential House after lunch with Shultz and U.S. and Salvadorian officials, Duarte pledged he was not going to negotiate "power-sharing" with the guerrillas.
Volkswagen to make $11,800 car in China
By United Press International
PEKING — West German automaker Volkswagen signed a 25-year joint venture contract yesterday to build the first foreign passenger cars in China even though most people in the nation could never afford the $11,000 vehicles.
The project calls for annual
production of 20,000 to 30,000 "Santana" four-door sedans by 1899 and 100,000 four-cylinder gas and diesel engines by 1990 at two plants near Shanghai.
The sedans are destined for sale exclusively in China, while some 80,000 engines are earmarked for export to Volkswagen in West Germany.
THE SANTANA WILL, be the first
foreign passenger car to be produced in China, said Volkswagen Chairman Carl Hahn. The project is one step in Volkswagen's strategy to expand sales throughout Asia, he said.
Volkswagen agreed to supply 50 percent of the initial capital investment of $72.7 million with the rest provided by Shanghai Tractor and Automobile Company, the Bank of China and the China National Indus-
rural Company. Profits will also be shared equally.
"It's our expectation that the joint venture will soon be profitable," said Hahn, glowing over the prospects of harnessing China's expanding demand for automobiles.
The potential of this market is without parallel. The population is greater than any other nation and the labor force is intelligent," Hahn said.
Germany considering autobahn speed limit
BONN, West Germany — West German drivers, who commonly streak along the nation's autobahns, might soon be restricted by a speed limit on the superhighways, the Bild Zeitung newspaper said yesterday.
paper and newspapers. The newspaper said it had learned the government was contemplating an experimental 62 mph limit along certain stretches of highway.
Such a restriction would be lower than the approximate speed limits of 87 mph in Italy, 80 mph in Switzerland and 70 mph in Britain.
Government spokesman Juergen Sudhoff said the ministers of interior and transportation had discussed the issue of a speed limit Tuesday and had turned the question over to experts in their ministries. He gave no further details.
The government, which has already called for a gradual switch to unleaded gasoline and catalytic
exhaust anti-pollution devices by 1989, is under growing pressure from environmentalists also to curtail driving speeds.
The measures are being billed as ways of curbing the air pollution blamed for the alarming damage to German forests. Sudhoff said studies on the anti-pollution effects of lower vehicular speeds were "higher divergent", and only the testing could resolve the issue.
An agricultural ministry survey released last week showed 40 percent of German forests were sick or dying, up from an estimated 30 percent only a year ago. Ministry said more than 40 percent of the woods in that state were now badly damaged.
In the past, the government has ruled out a general U.S. style speed limit on grounds that it would accomplish little because speeds are already restricted for various reasons on three-quarter of the country's 4,960 miles of autobahn.
