Spanish politics
MADRID - The rescue of two
kidnaped Spanish officials has
apparently enabled the govern-
ment of Premier Adolfo Suarez
'to go ahead with effort to liberal-
ize Spain, including the grant-
ing of amnesty to more politi-
cal prisoners.
Adolfo Suarez
Suarez prepred yesterday to
meet with moderate leftists this
week and Work out laws design-
ed to regulate -the spring elec-
tions, which will produce a par-
liament to replace the right-wing
Cortes of the late Francisco
Franco.
General elections, an import-
ant step in the transition from
dictatorship to democracy, are
due before June 30.
YESTERDAY'S rescue com-
pletely overshadowed one sign-
ificant pre-election development
-formal application by the
Spanish Communist Party for
full legal status.
The party has been banned
since the end of the 1936-1939
civil war, although it has been
operating openly since late last
year when its leader, Santiago
Carrillo, was released on bail
after being held in jail.
Legal status is necessary if
the Communists want to t a k e
part in the elections.
THE GOVERNMENT now has'
10 days in which to ask the su-
preme court to rule whether the
Communists' aims clash with a
Spanish law banning parties
aiming to set up a totalitarian
state or which are subject to in-
ternationl discipline.

Guerrilla action
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Arab na-
tions imposed drastic new curbs
on Palestinian guerrillas yester-
day to try to bring the entire
resistance movement under firm
Syrian and Lebanese control.
The decision aims at ending
Lebanon's role as the last un-
restricted commando base, with
far-reaching effects on Pales-
tinian ability to wage war and
influence Arab policy.
It came two days before Sec-
retary of State Cyrus V a n c e
begins a Middle East tour agai-
nnst a backdrop of intense Arab
efforts to reconvene the Middle
East peace conference in Gen-
eva.
The Arab truce supervisory
committee in Lebanon, meeting
after new Beirut clashes, said
yesterday that the Arab league
peacekeeping force would have
to raid hidden stores of heavy
arms.
The committee, of representa-
tives of Syria, Egypt, Saudi Ara-
bia and Kunwait, exists to help
implement the ceasefire in the
Lebanese civil war arranged by
the Arab League three months
ago.
The southwestern suburbs of
Beirut were quiet yesterday fol-
lowing two days of clashes there
between troops of the Arab
peacekeeping force and hard-line
Palestinian guerrillas. The four-
party committee expressed its
regrets over the clashes of the
last two days "which caused the
deterrent force to intervene," a
statement after the meeting
said.
National
Canal
negotiations
WASHINGTON - Hoping forj
early agreement on a.new Pan-1
ama Canal treaty, N.S. nego-
tiators leave for Panama on Sun-
day to resumetalks that former
President Gerald Ford hialted
last May when the canal's fu-
ture became a campaign issue.
The Carter administration has
given "highest priority" to con-
cluding a new treaty this year
in order to avoid entanglement
of the canal issue in the 1978
congressional elections.
Ford suspended the negotia-
tions after conservative chal-
lenger Ronald Reagan generat-
ed an enthusiastic response from'
voters by pledging to "keep the
canal" if elected.
State Department officials say
they hope a treaty proposal can
be ready by June to- give the'
Senate ample time to debate nd
ratify the accord before the
congressional recess this fall.
The two countries already
have agreed on transferring to
Panamag'jurisdictio over the
Canal Zone within three years'
after a new treaty goes into ef-
fect. This would give Panama
authority over all services -
such as educationsand the ad-
ministration of justice - which
are now controlled by the Unit-
ed States under the existing
1903 treaty.
The chief remaining differ-
ences in the negotiations center'
on duration of a new treaty and
on the question of non-discrim
inatorv nccess for all nations to
the canl once Panama g a in s
control.
U/SW talks
quarter of 1976 compared with
year-earlier levels, the tiargain-
ing is expected to be difficult.
Although McBride's elecrion
victory seems assured on the
basis of the unofficial vote tal-
ly, a legal challenge by Sadlow-
ski could complicate the bar-
gaining.
Young ends
African talks
NEW YORK"- U.N. Ambas-
sador Andrew Young arrived
here yesterday at the end of a
ten-day African tour and predic-
ted the adjourned Rhodesia
talks would be resumed soon.
"I spoke with 20 heads of
state and they all seemed open-
minded about when African
problem talks could be resumed
toward settlement," Young said
at an airport news conference.

A TRIBUTE TO PIER PAOLO PASOLINI
The sudden death, last year of this too much neglected Italian
filmmaker calls foi an exposure oP his films as well as a sen-
sitive consideration of the man. Understanding Pier Paolo Pasolini
is the same thing as understanding his cinema: in his own words
". cinema represents reality with reality," and so when we
watch a film by one 'whom we can recognize as once being the
most influential and controversial director in the Italian Cinema,
we graciously become his mesmerized subjects as we joyfully
witness Pasolini's unique, mysterious "vision of life.
MEDEA
Pier Paolo Posolini, 1971) 7:00 only--MLB 4
In Pasolini's rediscovered film conception of MEDEA, he presents
Maria Calias in her first screen 4performance in a most brilliant
rendering of the classical figure from a magical world When she
is brought by Jason and the Argonauts to Corinth and the Court
of Creon, she finds herself in a strange, materialistic world. Her
struggle is the struggle between these two worlds, between myth
and reason, nature and civilization, a struggle that drives Medea
to make drastic use of her magic powers. Filmed in exotic color
in Syria, Turkey, and Italy. "A supreme drama achievement .
the film will rank as a rare work of cinema art."--Genet, New
Yorker. Italian with subtitles.
