Reagan appeals for aid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, after being denied a House forum and being blackened by most of the television networks, made an 11th-hour appeal in an address yesterday from the Oval Office for support for his $100 million Nicaraguan reacquai- aid package. He told Congress, "I need your help."
The president, sounding extremely hoarse because of an allergy, said, "Every American has a stake in this struggle. Cen-sus must be vital to our own national security, and the Soviet Union knows it."
Reagan delayed his scheduled trip to Las Vegas, Nev., and California until midday yesterday in order to deliver the address and to lobby more members of Congress. The House vote on the aipackage is scheduled for Wednesday and the result is still in doubt.
Reagan said he was speaking for "the cause of freedom in Central American and national security in the United States."
Urging support for the contras, who seek to overthrow the Sandinista government. Reagan said, "We have been chosen to fight for their freedom.
Now we Americans must also choose."
In a surprise announcement, White House spokesman Larry Speakes told reporters that instead of sending a written message to Congress, Reagan would speak from the Oval Office and submit his message and a letter to House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass., and all members of Congress.
He invited the major networks to televise the speech, which was scheduled for 11 a.m. CDT, but enthused them that he carried Reagan's address live.
The president picked up two more votes in his last-minute lobby effort yesterday. Rep. Carroll Hubbard, D.K., express disagreement with O'Neill for refusing to let Reagan address the House, emerged from a meeting with the president to announce that he and Rep. Richard Ray, D.Ga., were changing their votes.
Hubbard said he had been assured by the president that the leaders of the four democracies surrounding Nicaragua, at least privately, supported his government, was assured that the money, if approved, would have tighter strings on it than in the past to prevent theft.
Reagan said that he might be accused of "fear-mongering" and that such a danger to U.S. security would never come to pass.
"Perhaps it won't," he said in a warning to the House. "But in making your decision on my request for aid tomorrow, consider this: What are the consequences for our country if you are wrong?"
Acknowledging that there may have been abuses of American funding by the contras, Reagan said, "Even though some of those charges are Sandista propaganda, I believe such abuses have occurred in the past. And they are intolerable."
But Reagan said that as a condition of U.S. aid he would insist on civilian control over military forces; that no human-rights abuses be tolerated; that any unlawful activity should end and that American aid go only to those committed to democratic principles."
Reagan said that he supported a $300 million compromise-aid package for Central America, and also a type of new "Marshall Plan."
"I urge Congress to support $300 million in economic aid to the Central American democracies," he said.

JOHANNESBURG — Two bombs exploded yesterday within a 25-minute period in central Johannesburg, destroying a snack bar packed with office workers and shattering windows in a hotel shop. Hospital sources said 22 people were injured.
P police said it was not immediately known what type of explosives were used in the blasts, which wrecked the snack bar filled with a lunch crowd and dried up after dry cleaning shop in the Presidential Inn about seven blocks away.
22 injured by bombs in S. Africa
"It was like an electric shock going through me," said office worker Mariet Goothuizen, who was in the hospital in May for blood and with their clothes torn."
No one immediately acknowledged responsibility for the attacks, which the government Bureau of Informa- tion corrobed as callous acts of terrorism.
"Police are still investigating the explosions. There is no clarity at this stage as to what kind of explosive devices were used," the bureau said.
Officials have blamed rebels of the outlawed African National Congress for at least 10 bombings that have killed at least 38 people and hundreds in the past six months.
A government statement said 18 people were injured, four seriously, in the explosion at the snack bar and
Hospital sources said 20 whites were treated after the first blast and two blacks were hurt in the second.

In Pretoria, the information bureau said two blacks died Monday, increasing the death toll to 59 since a nationwide state of emergency was imposed June 12. One man was shot by a government official who was being questioned and another was shot by an unknown gunman, the government said.
The state of emergency gave police sweeping powers and clamped restrictions on the media.

The spokesman said Botha did not exspel Siag, but declined to renew his residence permit. Two other journalists, CBS cameraman Wim de Vos and Newsweek bureau chief Rick Manning, have been ordered to leave since the imposition of emergency rule.
