A source close to the Salvadoran Air
Force said three U.S. advisers were in
Stanley's helicopter, which was acting
as an air-bound radio relay station for
the Salvadoran ground troops.
An embassy statement said, "The
primary purpose of the flight on which

was to establish direct contact with a
Salvadoran army unit on a tactical
operation.
"IN ACCORDANCE with standing

"At about the same time and in the

flight also took ground fire, although
fortunately no one was wounded," it
said.
An embassy spokesman declined to
give details about the second flight or

The embassy said that "as a result of

Salvador) commander and will leave
the country on the next available
military aircraft."

Truckers warned of
increased violence

From AP and UPI
Utah officials warned truckers to
stayclose to their rigs yesterday to
guard against weekend saboteurs on
tfhe sixth day of a nationwide truck
strike. Meat prices climbed in the
Boston area and one distributor
threatened layoffs.
In several states, highway patrols
beefed up forces, especially at night, as
violent acts by truckers and non-
truckers alike steadily increased. In
Missouri, night patrols were increased
by 20 percent for as long as the strike
lasts.
THE STRIKE was called last Mon-
day by 'the Independent Truckers
Association to protest scheduled in-
creases in fuel taxes and highway use
taxes. Since then, more than 1,000 acts
of violence have been reported in 37
states, resulting in one death, more
than 50 people injured and at least 67
arrests.
The striking truckers are demanding
a rollback on a five cents a gallon fuel
tax hike and other road use taxes

passed by Congress in December.
There was no let up in the barrage of
gunfire, bricks, bottles, bombs and
strewn nails directed against truckers
who kept their rigs rolling in defiance of
the strike by the Independent
Truckers Association.
The association claims to represent
30,000 of the nation's 100,000 indepen-
dent truckers. The independent haulers
own and operate their own rigs and haul
most of the nation's produce and much
of its steel. The strike is opposed by the
Teamsters and corporate haulers.
"Congress will simply not be in-
timidated," Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan),
chairman of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee, said yesterday in Washington.
Dole's committee helped draft the
legislation, which would raise gas taxes
from four cents to nine cents a gallon.
Dole said he was asking the General
Accounting Office, an accounting and
investigative arm of Congress, to study
the economic impact of increased taxes
on independent truckers. the new laws
would raise truckers' fees from $240 a
year to $1,900 by 1989.

IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press international reports
Kennedy proposes
liberal budget
WASHINGTON-Sen. Edward Kennedy(D-Mass.), sounding like he never
dropped out of the 1984 presidential race, yesterday blasted the Reagan ad-
ministration and proposed hiw own wide ranging liberal agenda for
economic recovery.
Bringing the Democratic National Committee to its feet with an elec-
trifying speech full of vintage Kennedy rhetoric, he said it is time for his par-
ty to tell the "great communicator" in the White House: "We do not like
what is being communicated."
Kennedy's proposals included creation of a National Development Corp.
that would be financed partly by public sale of bonds and tax-exempt stocks,
a $5.7 billion jobs bill and legislation that would force the Federal Reserve
Board to reduce interest rates.
Kennedy, who has bowed out of contention for the 1984 Democratic
presidential nomination, also proposed restricting the growth in defense
spending to five percent, capping the third year of the Reagan tax cut and
repealing the law that wouldi index tax rates for inflation.
The Kennedy speech dominated the weekend meeting, with many mem-
bers leaving the floor after the senator spoke.
Bank explosion kills two in Spain
BILBAO, Spain-Basque separatist set off a powerful bomb in a crowded
bank yesterday killing two employees and injuring eight in a fresh outbreak
of violence following the collapse of peace talks in the troubled region.
Political parties, unions and leaders of the regional government condem-
ned the attack; saying it torpedoed hopes for peace in the Basque country;
for more than 15 years the scene of separatist violence.
A caller identifying himself as a member of the Basque terror group ETA
telephoned the Bank of Vizcaya to warn a bomb was planted in its Bilbao
head office; a large downtown building housing more than 600 employees.
The plastic explosives device estimated by police to weigh between 15 and
22 pounds exploded three minutes later in the banks second-floor foreign ex-
change department; before the building could be evacuated.
Paraguayan elections labeled
farce by opposition leaders
ASUNCION, Paraguay-President Alfredo Stroessner, the retired army
general who has ruled this country for 29 years, is running for a seventh term
today in elections labeled by opposition leaders as a fare.
No on doubts the 70-year-old president will win another five-year mandate
by the same overwhelming majority he has claimed in past victories.
Colorado officials, whose party dominates every aspect of life in this lan-
dlocked country of three million people, said they expected to capture at
least 89.6 percent of the vote, as they did when Stroeesner ran in 1978.
The outspoken Radical Liberal Authentic Party, not recognized by the
Stroessner regime, Friday asked voters to boycott the elections.
The PLRA said the elections' "exclusive purpose is to guarantee the main-
tenance of an autocratic system and the perpetuation of a man in power in
open violation of the republican form of government called for in the
national constitution."
Chean government threatened
SANTIAGO, Chile-The collapse of two major banks and state
takeovers of five others has produced a rash of speculation about the future
of President Augusto Pinochet's military regime.
For the first time since the 1973 coup that felled elected Marxist President
Salvador Allende, there is serious conjecture that the 67-year-old army
general may be losing his iron-fisted grip on this South American country.
A three-week-old financial crisis has twice forced Pinochet to interrupt his
vacation-once to disprove rumors that he was either dead or under house
arrest in a coup of fellow military men.
Though such-stories have lost currency in recent days, the extent to which
they were believed and repeated among Chileans is a sign of the widespread
anger over Pinochet's handling of an economid slump.
For Pinochet, the turn of fortune has been dramatic. In September 1980,
when Chile's free-market economy boomed, 70 percent of the voters backed
a constitutional referendum giving him nine more years in power.
But his position has been undermined by a 14 percent decline in the gross
national product that, in 1982, put 25 percent of the labor force out of work
and bankrupted a record 810 companies:
To limit damage to the financial system, the government on Jan. 13 took
over seven banks burdened by uncollectable debts, liquidated two of the
banks and began investigating shaky conglomerates linked to the other five.
Greece warns U.S. about
military aid to Turkey
ATHENS, Greece-Premier Andreas Papandreou warned President
Reagan in a letter released yesterday that American plans to increase
military aid to Turkey could affect the outcome of talks on the future of four

U.S. military bases in Greece.
Papandreou, whose Socialist government wants to shut down the bases
eventually, said preserving the balance of power between Greece and
Turkey is crucial to reaching a new Greek-American defense cooperation
agreement.

Grad women face bias at 'U,

CEW conference says

younger women with families, accor-
ding to House.
But House said women are up against
an immovabale force when dealing
with professors who are biased against
women. Without the enforcement of

non-discriminatory policies, it will be
difficult to change these professors'
behavior, he said.
ANOTHER WAY to overcome the
problems stemming from predominan-
tly male faculties is to increase the
number of tenured female professors,
House added.
Virginia Nordby, director of the
Univeristy's Affirmative Action Office,
told the audience the Regents and
President Harold Shapiro are "ab-
solutely committed" to women s issues..
"It is a high priority. , A very high
priority," she said.

Rather than spending "too much time
in political activism," Nordby advised
the women to study in order to over-
come the barriers they face. But if they
feel they are being treated unfairly,
they should seek help, she said.
SEVERAL MEMBERS of a four-
woman panel of graduate students said
a one-on-one meeting is the best way to
handle problems that arise with faculty
members.
They also emphasized the importan-
ce of support groups which help female
students feel less alone and insecure.
Another obstacle women face is not

being taken seriously, according to
Psychology Prof. Jacquelynne Eccles.
"Women are perceived as dabblers
rather than the tryly committed."
In addition, women will often begin to
believe negative evaluations of them-
selves, she said. These evaluations
can then turn into self-fulfilling
prophecies, said Eccles.
Following the workshop, Center
Director Jean Campbell said she was
surprised that more conference par-
ticipants didn't look at institutional:
change as the solution to graduate
women's problems.

There's a very real possibility that
those professors won't make it in the

The review committee's recommen-
dation is expected in late March, the

engineering Prof. William Kuhn, the

not approaching it in that way. It's one
of our options."
