U.S. resumes support to El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—The United States yesterday resumed military aid to the Salvadoran government, battered by a federal military attack in September.
State Department officials in Washington said President Carter had decided to resume military aid to El Salvador. Aid had been cut off because of allegations that Salvadoran government troops were involved in the Dec. 2 murders of three American mugs and one female social worker.
The State Department said no U.S. military personnel would be sent to El Salvador.
The $8 million package includes the loan of two U.S. transport helicopters—down by U.S.-trained Salvadoran pilots—trucks, radios, bullet-proof equipment and fire extinguisher equipment.
The leftists battling the Salvadoran government belong to the 4,000- to 6,000-member Farabundo Mari National Liberation Front, an alliance of five Marxist-led guerrilla groups.
Salvadaren troops crushed rebel attacks against two provincial capitals yesterday, but fighting raged in a third, the headquarters of an elite military unit.
lenrette was set up. lawver claims
WASHINGTON-The $25,000 that former Pennsylvania Rep. John Jennette's estranged wife found in his brown suede shoe included $1,300 in $100 bills from an Abscam payoff, Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti said yesterday.
Jennette's lawyer, Kenneth Robinson, said the money was part of a loan Jennette had reported at his Abcam trial: He accused Jennette's wife, Rita, of embezzling $500,000 from her.
"That's not inconsistent with what he's testified," Robinson said. "It's a setup. Rita's trying to promote her Playboy magazine article."
A Justice Department source said the department planned a careful review of Jennette's trial testimony based on the new development.
Judge faces contempt in busing feud
ALEXANDRIA, La.—A federal judge, citing landmark desegregation cases of the 1960s and 1960s, ordered state troopers out of the Buckeye High School busing dispute yesterday and rebuked a state judge for interfering with his rulings.
Troopers escorted three white girls to all-white Buckeye last week on the orders of state Judge Richard Lee, in defiance of federal Judge Nauman Scott's desegregation plan. When Scott enjoined the troopers from further action, Lee himself took the sirls to their classes.
Scoff, who will hold a contempt hearing today on possible fines of up to 1000 dollars and other principals in the feed, called the entire affair "most appropriate."
The feud between Lee and Scott began in September when Lee transferred custody of the three girls from their parents to friends living in the Buckeye attendance zone. The girls wanted to continue attending Buckeye instead of being burned 21 miles to Jones Street Junior High, which is 53 percent black.
Scott lashed out at the state jurist, saying the dispute have been pursued through the courts without Lee making personal appearances at the court.
Lee, who has become a folk hero in rural central Louisiana because of his stand against Scott, appeared repeatedly on television and stood in the door of a mall.
Feds agree to back Chrysler loans
WASHINGTON—The government yesterday gave conditional approval to $400 million in national federal funds for the Chrysler Corp.,
including a loan that would stay in place until 2019.
The Chrysler Loan Guarantee Board voted unanimously to give Chrysler the terms and conditions, including new worker concessions, on which the loan would be made.
The United Auto Workers union has agreed tentatively to the concessions specified by the board. Chrysler now must obtain assurances from its lenient labor practices.
The concessions package with the union came after nearly 24 hours of non-stop negotiation. The Chevrolet and the UAW. It still is subject to appraisal. A WA killer will be found.
The loan guarantee board oversees the $1.5 billion in Chrysler loan guarantees authorized by Congress. Chrysler already has received $800 million in guarantees.
EPA fines Kansas landfill operator
WICHTA—The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday accused the company which operated the plant of wasteland pollution of having not implemented and monitoring procedures.
The regional EPA office, in a letter to National Industrial Environmental Services, Inc., complained of the company's safety and training procedures,
NIES operates an 80-acre disposal area 14 miles northeast of Wichita and three miles southeast of the unincorporated community of Furley. The site is
An EPA spokesman said NEES had been fired $19,000 for violating three requirements of the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act. The company has either 20 days to request a public hearing or can plead "no contest" and nave the fine.
The Furley dump site came under attack from another source yesterday when Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan told the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee in Topeka that private companies should not be in charge of "such a dangerous enterprise."
Mondale to run for president in 1984
WASHINGTON-Vice President Walter Mondale has decided to run for president in 1984. CBS News reported last night.
The network that sources that data had said Mondale "had set his plans for the future." He is to join an associate law firm and lecture at the University of Florida office Tuesday.
Mondale has decided against running for the Senate seat from his home state when it comes up in 1982, the network said. That seat is held by Republican David Durenburger. But Mondale does intend to run for the Democratic presidential nomination two years after that.
The other prominent Democrat mentioned for 1984 is Sen. Edward M. D-Mass, who was defeated by President Carter for the 1980 nomination.
South Africa to start new ID system
CAPE TOWN, South Africa—All South Africans, regardless of race, will be fingerprinted and forced to carry identification because of increasing threats of sabotage and espionage, Interior Minister Chris Heunis said vantage.d
Henus said Parliament would vote later this month on a draft bill that provides for greater control of people by having a computerized fingerprint
The document must be produced on demand and can be used to check on civilian employees in the military bases, oil refineries and infrastructure and structural buildings.
Henis said the document would have to be carried by people of all races and would be used in addition to the "pass book" system used now for black identification.
Carter wishes Reagan well, offers support
WASHINGTON-President Carter addressed the nation as its 39th president for the final time last night, pledging to support Ronald Reagan "to the very limits possible" and asking prayers for the American hostages in

"I can't predict yet what will hap-
The brief message about the hostages was a last minute addition to the text of Carter's short, low-key speech broadcast on nationwide television.
Without giving any advice and with no mention of the nation's economic
woes, Carter wished Reagan Godspeed as he becomes the nation's 40th president. Earlier, however, he did speak of the need for a president to make tough decisions without considering the political consequences.
On the week before his departure from the white House, Carter said the nation and the world faced three great challenges in the 21st century nuclear war, preservation of human
Iran free to conclude hostage talks
Iran's Parliament empowered the government yesterday to conclude negotiations with the United States to free the $2 American hostages in exchange for about $6.6 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Iran's chief negotiator said the hostages could be freed in two or three days.
By United Press International
However, State Department officials, jaded by past disappointments during the 438-day-old crisis, cautioned against optimism, saying serious differences
The Iranian Parliament authorized the Tehran government to accept international arbitration to deal with the claims between the two countries.
The Iranian negotiators did not immediately follow up on Parliament's action by sending new communications to the United States Department team in Algeria.

Department spokesman John Trattner said Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher had decided to remain in Aligiers for at least one more
Trattner described the Iranian Parliament's action as a "step in the right direction," but with a caution that he had in mind the use of crushed hopes and disappointments.
rights everywhere and protection of the environment.
As part of the plan, the 52 Americans would have to be safely out of Iran before any of Iran's frozen funds would be released during the evacuation, omitting the frozen custody would be placed in the custody of the Algerians.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Carter said his own four years in office had made him "more certain than ever of the inner strength of our country" the unchanging value of our principles and ideals, the stability of our political system, the ingenuity and decency of our people."
Carter warned against the temptation in a "period of tensions both within nations and between nations . . . to abandon some of the time-honored practices which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations."
Carter did not call specifically for ratification of a SALT II treaty, a sharp difference he had with Reagan during the campaign. He but said:
"We must and we will remain strong. With equal determination, the United States and all countries must find ways to control and reduce the horrifying danger that is posed by the world's stockpiles of nuclear arms."
Carter will send his fiscal 1982 budget to Congress today, and tomorrow he will send it to the Union message. He then will go to David until the inauguration Tuesday.
