Archbishop claims

Associated Press Writer
SAN SALVADOR, El Salyador
The archbishop of San Salvador
said yesterday that leftist guerril

then kidnapped 25 people who
went to claim the bodies.
Monsignor Arturo Rivera y
Damas cited the incident in de

nearly 6-year-old civil war to try to
"gain peace with methods of vio

He made the remarks in his
weekly homily to hundreds of Ro

capital's Metropolitan Cathedral.
The archbishop called again for
the left-wing rebels and the gov
ernment to return to peace talks in
"a sincere, clear, loyal dialogue,
animated by good will and in a
spirit of authentic patriotism."

talks is impossible or useless," he
added.
The government and the rebels
held two rounds of peace talks late
last year, but a third meeting ,has
been stalled for months by a dis
pute between the two sides over
the site and subject matter.
In his account of the killings and
abductions, Rivera y Damas said
that on Friday "the guerrillas
captured and killed Mr. Adrian
Solorzano, the father of an official,
and three other people" in a vilage
near Jucuapa, 80 miles east of San
Salvador.
"The following day, 25 people
from Jucuapa came to recover the
bodies to give them a Christian
burial, and the guerrillas took
them hostage," he added.

Gunfire did not kill MOVE members
PHILADELPHIA (AP) None of the 11 deaths inside the
MOVE compound during the May 13 seige has been attributed to
gunfire, according to results of the final autopsy report released
by the city's health commissioner.
"No bullet fragments have been found in the remains," Health
Commissioner Stuart H. Shapiro said in a telephone interview
Saturday. "At this time there is no reason to believe the cause of
death was gunfire."
Although new evidence could surface, Shapiro said, the autop
sies have been completed and "we don't anticipate going back to
the (autopsy) report" to amend it.
The remains of seven adults and four children were found at the
primitivist cult's fortified house, one of 61 homes burned in a fire
that broke out May 13 after police bombed the compound.
But Dr. Halbert Fillinger, an assistant medical examiner, said
Saturday the three victims he studied died from a combination of
carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation.

Black Americans are suffering under administration moves to

Many Russians in U.S. are spies
WASHINGTON, D.O (AP) A Russian master spy who
defected to the West estimated last night that as many as 40
percent of Soviet diplomats and tourists traveling in the United
States are intelligence officials.
To curtail such activities, said former KGB officer Stanislav
Levchenko, the number of Soviet workers and visitors in the
United States should be cut to the same number accepted by the
Soviet Union.
"I think the act of making the number of U.S. diplomats and
Soviet diplomats in Moscow and Washington equal can be a great
help for reducing the scale of Soviet espionage," Levchenko said
on ABC's "This Week With David Brinkley."
"I would say from 35 to 40 percent of the Soviet officials,
travelers, tourists in this country are intelligence officers," he
said.
Levchenko, filmed in shadows so his face could not be seen, said
the KGB has been trying to kill him since he defected to the
United States after a job recruiting Soviet spies in Japan.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., vice chairman of the Senate Select

Air-India crash still a mystery
NEW DELHI, India (AP) A week after they began evaluat
ing flight recorders retrieved from the ocean, experts were
unable to say what caused the Air-India jetliner to crash into the
Atlantic last month with the loss of 329 lives.
Indian officials have said they believe the June 23 crash was
caused by a bomb. But Judge B.N. Kirpal, who heads the inquiry
into the disaster, told reporters Friday in Bombay that the
cockpit voice recorder and the one that monitored the Boeing
747's flight instruments "neither prove nor disprove" the sab
otage theory.
U.S. and Indian investigators say they will now focus on the
wreckage and on voice tapes recorded by air controllers at
Ireland's Shannon International Airport who were in contact with
the jetliner when it crashed off the Irish coast. The jumbo jet was
en route to India from Canada with a scheduled stop in London
when it crashed off the Irish coast.
The "black boxes" containing the recorders were retrieved
from more than a mile beneath the surface by a submersible
robot and were flown to Bombay for analysis at the Air-India
computer center and the Bhabha Atomic Research Center.
After listening to the voice tape last Tuesday, S.N. Sharma,
secretary of the inquiry, told reporters the cockpit conversation
' was normal until it came to a "sudden and abrupt end."
Saudis push for lower crude prices
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) Saudi Arabia's oil minister said
yesterday he would press the Organization of Petroleum Export
ing Countries to reduce prices of lower-quality heavy crudes.
"It's a must for us" to widen the gap between prices for top
quality and lower-quality oils, Ahmed Zaki Yamani told report
ers.
Yaniani added that the size of his proposed reduction would be
discussed at Monday's summer OPEC conference.
The official price of Saudi Arabia's lower-grade crude currently
is $26.50 a barrel, $1.50 more than it fetches in the open market.
This gap has prompted the Saudis' usual customers to shop
elsewhere.
Saudi Arabia's top-grade oil sells for $2B a barrel.
Mohammad Gharazi, the oil minister of Iran, told reporters he
would oppose any price cut. He advocated a 7 percent cut in
OPEC production to about 14.9 million barrels a day to keep
prices up.
But the Venezuelan delegate, Arturo Hernandez Grisanti, told
reporters his country would not agree to any cut in the production
ceiling of 16 million barrels a day.
The disagreement suggested the 13 OPEC countries may be
unable to resolve their problem of dwindling sales and income.
