The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 17, 1981--Page 11 El Salvador protestors may speak for majority WASHINGTON (AP) - Five demonstrators protesting U.S. involvement in El Salvador managed yesterday to get within a few dozen feet of the office of Secretary of State Alexander Haig Jr. before getting arrested, a State Depar- tment spokesman said. While two of the demonstrators diverted the attention of guards, three others spread ashes and a substance that "looks like blood" on the carpet outside Haig's office, said the spokesman, Joseph Reap. SOME OF THE RED liquid splashed on the shoes of a receptionist. A witness, who did not want to be identified, said one of the demonstrators shouted that the United States "should get out of El Salvador." The five demonstrators may speak for a great many Americans who are unhappy with the dispatch of U.S. troops to El Salvador, according to a new Associated Press-NBC news poll. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT accept the Reagan ad- ministration argument that the United States must support the government of El Salvador to stop communist aggression, the poll reports. They choose, instead, to believe that the conflict there is a civil war in which American should not get involved. The latest AP-NBC News poll was conducted Monday and Tuesday and is based on telephone interviews with 1,604 adults across the country. It found that the public is roughly divided on the general issue of U.S.-support for the government of El Salvador. TWENTY-SIX PERCENT agree with that U.S. backing, while 31 percent oppose it. Eleven percent were not sure. The rest - 32 percent - said they had not heard of the con- flict that is raging in that country, about the size of Massachusetts. Earlier in the year, the Reagan adminstration sent more than 50 military advisers to El Salvador to help train that country's armed forces in the use of U.S-provided military equipment. IN THE POLL, A majority of those who knew of the conflict - 52 percent - said they opposed the dispatch of advisers. Forty-two percent approved of sending the advisers and 6 percent were not sure. A key element in the public opinion of El Salvador is a rejection of the basic Reagan administration description of the situation.

USSIANS SEEK TO REBUILD RAVAGED NA TION: Cambodia receiving Soviet aid Car hits pedestrian A car and pedestrian crashed through a window of the School of Social Work Wednesday night, after apparently being run off the road, police said. According to police, the car was hit from behind and the driver lost control, swerved up onto the sidewalk, and hit a pedestrian. Both car and pedestrian flew through the library window. There were no serious injuries. PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP), - The Soviet Union is, r , broadening its military influence and technical presence in Cambodia. Some Western analysts and unofficial Cambodian sour- ces say the Soviet moves are irritating their Vietnamese allies who also are here in large numbers. A year ago, only a handful of Soviet diplomats were seen in Phnom Penh, the capital. Today, there are an estimated 200 to 300 advisers. They occupy a large apar- tment complex, and several villas are being renovated to house more. ACCORDING TO ONE SOVIET official here, the Soviet Union has embarked on an ambitious program to rebuild Cambodia from the ravages of war and starvation that followed the communist takeover in 1975 at the end of the Indochina War. "Today we are beginning to think about the long term when emergency aid is over and th 'aterrational agen- cies leave," said Soviet Embassy spokesman Vladimir Golovkine,,referring to a massive, mostly Western food relief effort that began two years ago. "We are now preparing the base. It is the beginning." Between 1970 and 1979, Cambodia was devastated by war and the ultra-revolutionary regime of Premier Pol Pot, who was ousted after an invastion in late 1978 by the Vietnamese, whose forces still remain. THE SOVIET UNION ALREADY wields considerable influence in Laos, with Vietnam the other communist nation in Indochina. Moscow is the prime prop of Viet- nam's badly ailing economy and chief supplier for its military, which includes an estimated 200,000 military personnel in Cambodia. The Soviet- Embassy recently issued an information bulletin detailing plans to rebuild factories, power plants, hospitals, grain silos, roads, bridges, and colleges and vocational schools. The Soviet Union said it poured about $250 million in emergency aid into Cambodia in the last two years. But while Soviets appear eager to publicize their economic assistance, little information is released on military aid. WESTERN DIPLOMATIC sources in Bangkok, Thailand, say the Soviets have shippped arms in through the port of Kompong Som and by air via Vietnam to Siem Reap in the northwest.
