Stone: peace initiatives progressing in Central America
By ISAAC A. LEVI
Associated Press Writer
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador U.S. spe
cial envoy Richard Stone said yesterday he is
optimistic about the chances for his search
for peace in Central America. At the same
time, the Salvadoran government pursued its
own peace initiative in Colombia with mem
bers of the Salvadoran left.
Stone said "our efforts to bring peace to El
Salvador are progressing" as he arrived in El
Salvador from Honduras for a meeting with
provisional President Alvaro Magana. He
was to leave later for San Jose, Costa Rica.
In Columbia, representatives of the Salva
doran government's three-man Peace Com
mission met for the first time with leftists at a
session set up by Colombian President Belisa
rio Betancur in Bogota, the South American
country's capital.
Francisco Quinones, the commission's
head, said before the meeting that the topic
was a search for formulas to "reincorporate
the groups who have raised arms to the

He said the commission's objective was "to
search for peace for El Salvador and return
peace to the people who have imposed vio
lence through weapons . . . The. government
agreed to talk with the guerrillas, since it
represents millions of Salvadorans who want
peace."

Quinones said yesterday's discussions were
sought by the guerrillas and that the talks
"are serious and important for peace in El
Salvador."
He was accompanied by Msgr. Marcos '
Ravelo, the Roman Catholic bishop of Santa
Ana. They met with Salvadoran guerrilla
representatives Oscar Bonilla, a former stu
dent activist, and economist Carlos Molina,
neither of whom talked to reporters after the
session.
Ravelo was quoted by the Columbian news
agency Colprensa as saying in answer to a
question about the talks, "The results are
encouraging in the scope that we believe that
dialogue is the way to resolve El Salvador's
problems."
Stone told reporters after arriving from
from Honduras and for his meeting with
Magana: "I feel optimistic. At least we are
struggling together efficiently, seeking peace
and justice."
With Magana standing nearby, he said,
"Our efforts to bring peace to El Salvador are
progressing thanks to your cooperation and
that of your government."
In welcoming Stone, Magana said that the
U.S. envoy had "come again with his efforts
envoy
to seek peace in El Salvador and Central
America, efforts that are always welcome."
Stone, who met with key Salvadoran leftist
also calls for a negotiated settlement of the 46-
month-old civil war between Salvadoran re
bels and the U.S.-supported government, dur
ing which more than 43,000 people have been
killed.

Radio Venceremos that they are willing to
negotiate a settlement. The communiqu'e
said, however, that they would not participate
in, presidential elections expected early next
year.
The Reagan administation has hopes that
presidential elections could fill what is consid
ered a power void in El Salvador. Magana
was named provisional chief of state by the
Constituent Assembly elected March 28, 1982,
in balloting boycotted by leftists.

Stone said Sunday at the start of his trip that
he also would discuss the Contadora group's
search for peace with regional leaders.
"My overall task is to encourage and assist
the nations who are engaged in the Contadora
process and negotiations," he said.

Tehran, Iran ( AP) Four Arabic-speaking gunmen
holding 17 hostages aboard a hijacked Air France jetliner
at the Tehran airport fired shots into the air and warned of
"extreme measures" if France rejects their demands,
Iran's Tehran Radio reported early yesterday.
Broadcasts monitored in Cyprus and other points said
the hijackers, who have threatened to blow up the plane
and hostages, set a new deadline of '9 a.m. yesterday
12:30 a.m. EDT for a French response. Tehran Radio
said the shots were fired into the air from a rear door of
the Boeing 727 that was seized Saturday and landed at the
Tehran airport Sunday after stops in Switzerland, Sicily
and Syria. The aircraft is surrounded by Iranian security
forces.
The gunmen, also armed with grenades, demand that
France end its support for the Chad government and stop
selling arms to Iraq, which is at war with Iran. French
officials said there would be no change in government
policies.
Iran has called the hijacking an "inhuman act" and
demanded that all the hostages, including two or three
Americans, be freed.
Iran's official IRNA news agency also reported the 9
a.m. deadline and in a dispatch received in Nicosia,
Cyprus, said negotiations were "deadlocked after 27 hours
while the plane remains heavily guarded by security
forces."

Polish government warns
against 'provocations'
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Commu
nist Party officials warned Poles
yesterday avoid anti-government
"provocations" on the third anniver
sary of the founding of the Solidarity
labor union, which was outlawed last
October.
Underground Solidarity leadeys
have called for protests tomorrow,
including a boycott of all public trans
portation during the rush hour, which
would put tens of thousands of people
in the streets.
In the port city of Gdansk where
Solidarty was established August 31,
1980, the government radio station
quoted provincial party secretary
Edward Kijek as saying illegal dem
onstrations would encounter "deter
mined opposition complete with all
the legal consequences arising from
that act."
The broadcast also said that all
groups and individuals wanting to
place flowers at the monument to
workers slain in 1970 food riots would
be assigned "times at which they can
place the flowers."
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa noti
fied Gdansk authorities a week ago
that he would lay a wreath of flowers
at • the monument and speak to his
fellow workers if "a group of similar
ly minded people gathers" there at
2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
He was contacted at his home in
Gdansk by telephone by The. Asso
ciated Press yesterday and said he
had not received an official response.
Thousands of pro-government pam
phlets were distributed at the huge
Huta Warszawa steelworks on the
outskirts of Warsaw urging workers
to ignore the call for a boycott of
public transportation.

"Don't let anyone suck you into
political disturbances," the leaflets
said. 'Let nobody in Poland or
abroad harbor illusions that in Polish
cities shows can be staged. yor the
benefit of foreign television stations."
Warsaw was calm yesterday after
an estimated 7,000 Solidarity support
ers attended a Roman Catholic
"Mass for the Homeland" Sunday at
the St. Stanislaw Kistka church in
northern Warsaw. In his sermon, the
Rev. Jerzy Popieluszki declared,
"Solidarity has the right to free exis
tence."
Riot police, fearing a demonstra
tion after the Mass, closed off the
main square in Warsaw's Old Town,
but they withdrew overnight and
there were only normal patrols in the
capital yesterday morning.
Warsaw television carried a pro
gram for nearly three hours yester
day covering Thursday's debate at
Gdansk's Lenin Shipyard between
Walesa and Deputy Premier
Mieczyslaw Rakowski.
Rakowski frequently was jeered
and Walesa cheered, and the an
nouncer who introduced the program
said it contained "shocking epi
sodes." He referred to Walesa's sup
porters as "political savages," and
added:
"As a politician, Deputy Premier
Rakowski is a severe judge of Walesa
and his supporters and their activ:
ities, which were disastrous for Po
land. However, as you watch, you will
see that as a human being Rakowski
is full of sympathy for Walesa, for his
opponent who has lost and who will
not be a partner to the government
any more."
