Argentine president dismisses army chief of staff after revolt
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — After guiding his civilian government through two military mutines, President Raul Alafonisin dismissed the army chief yesterday and put the defense minister temporarily in charge.
The rebellions were the most serious threat to Allonssin's administration since his inauguration in 1907, and he nearly eight years of military rule.
At least 9,000 people vanished during the right-wing military junta's "dirty war" against leftists, and about 250 officers from the junta face charges. The army rebels demanded amnesty for those accused of human rights
abuses and the resignation of the army chief of staff, Gen. Hector Rios Erenu.
The newspaper Diario Popular's headline yesterday said: "The People Triumph!"
Hundreds of thousands of people went into the streets helping Alfonso in through the crisis.
About 400,000 people responded tourgings from radio and television announcers Sunday to gather in the huge Plaza de Mayo and "defend our democracy." They were there when the president flew to the rebel camp and persuaded the 150 rebellious officers to surrender.
Tamil rebels continue civilian massacres
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - Tamil rebels killed at least 18 Sinhalese yesterday at a jungle hamlet not far from where Tamils slaughtered 12 civilians three days earlier, the government reported.
Many political observers said the two massacres demonstrated that Tamil radicals were unwilling to negotiate, and set the stage for increased fighting between the military and rebels.
on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that guerrillas invaded Vanella, a jungle village in the eastern Trincomalee district, and killed 18 people, including five women and five children.
Sinhalese were segregated from Tamil and Muslim passengers. Most of those killed were Sinhalese, including children and a 70-year-old woman. At least 65 people were reported wounded.

Tariffs won't affect relations, official says
OISE, Japan — New U.S. tariffs on some Japanese products should not affect the overall relationship between the two allies, U.S. trade representative Clayton Yeutter said yesterday.
He said that the imposition of the duties Saturday was not a protection act and that the U.S. trade deficit would not be eliminated by solving individual issues. However, he urged Japan to increase imports and drop quotas on foreign goods "as a matter of principle."
Yeutter said the new tariffs imposed by the Reagan administration represented "a relatively small blip . . . on the screen of economic relationships between the two countries and should not be permitted to cloud the much more important economic and political relationship."
He spoke at a privately organized meeting of Japanese and U.S. government and business leaders at Olso, a seaside city southwest of Tokyo.

First-class stamp may be 25 cents in 1988
WASHINGTON — Postmaster General Preston R. Tisch said yesterday that 25 cents "seems like a logical amount" to charge for a first-class stamp under a rate increase that may take effect in 1988.
Asked if the rate for a first-class stamp would go from 22 cents to a quarter, Tisch replied, "That seems like a logical amount. It wouldn't cost too muchicularly for those of us who don't like to carry pennies around."
"We are thinking of raising our rates in 1988," Tisch said on NBC-TV's "Today" show, adding that "we haven't made the decision yet."
The rate was last increased Feb. 17, 1985, when the 20-cent rate, which had been in effect more than three years, was raised.
Farmers should get more aid, official says
WASHINGTON — An additional $42.5 million in farm loan funds should be made available by the government to enable growers to proceed with spring planting, a House subcommittee chairman said yesterday.
"As the time for spring planting approaches, thousands of farmers across the country are facing the very real possibility that they will not obtain sufficient credit to finance their operations this year," said Rep. Ed Jones, D-Tenn.
Jones, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee's credit subcommittee, said in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Richard E. Lyng that the $542.5 million could be made available through a transfer of funds authorized under the 1985 farm law.
The law authorizes the secretary to transfer 25 percent of the funds available for loan guarantees to use for direct Farmers Home Administration loans. Such an action would still leave nearly $1 billion available for loan guarantees, Jones said.
