Duarte's daughter is kidnapped
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador;
(UPI) - Two heavily armed men;
kidnapped the daughter of President.
Jose Napoleon Duarte yesterday,
dragging her from a vehicle by her
hair and killing two of her bodyguar-
ds, witnesses and authorities said.
Ines Guadalupe Duarte de Navas,
Duarte's oldest daughter, was abduc-.
ted as she arrived at the Nueva San
Salvador University yesterday after-
noon, chief military spokesman Lt.
Col. Carlos Aviles said.
THE ABDUCTORS shot and killed
one of her bodyguards and wounded a
second, who died later at the military
Hospital, police said. A retired army
colonel who witnessed the attack fired
at the gunmen but apparently missed.
After the kidnapping, all roads into
and out of the capital were closed and
security forces barred people from
leaving or entering the city. Troops.
using helicopters launched a massive
search for the kidnappers in the
capital of San Salvador.
Witnesses said Ines Duarte was
parking her jeep at the university
when the gunmen drove up in another
vehicle, shot out her tires, fired at
her bodyguards and dragged her from
the car by her hair.
"WE SAW her fighting with the
men, they began to shoot and we
threw ourselves to the ground," a wit-
ness said. "When they finished, she
had disappeared."
Local radio stations said spokesmen
for the president had ordered them
not to broadcast any stories about the
abduction.
No one immediately claimed
responsibility for the abduction and
officials would not speculate on what
group might have carried out the
operation.
LEFTIST REBELS in El Salvador
.are seeking to topple Duarte's U.S.-
backed government. Right-wing
death squads have also been blamed
for carrying out assassinations and
kidnappings.
Both sides in the conflict have
carried out kidnappings and killings
of public figures. But the kidnapping
Tuesday was the first involving a
member of the president's family sin-
ce he took office June 30, 1984.
The president's office said Ines
Duarte, 35, is manager of the Libertad
radio chain, the radio network of the
governing Christian Democratic Par-
ty, and is a student at the university.
She has three children and is divorced
from Alfredo Navas, who heads the
Basic Foods Regulatory Agency.
President Duarte and his wife, Ines
Duran de Duarte, have six children.

Judge sentences
draft resister
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Draft
resister David Wayte was sentenced
yesterday to six months of "house
arrest" at his grandmother's home
and barred from doing community
service, although the judge conceded
society will suffer as a result.
jJ.S. District Judge Terry Hatter
said the unusual ban on community
service during Wayte's probation
would be a grave punishment for a
socially conscious activist who is
deeply involved in such activity.
HATTER said he lost sleep Monday
night trying to devise the proper sen-
tence for Wayte, .24, i -former Yale
University philosophy student who
fought his case to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
"Society loses, in a sense," Hatter
said of the sentence, "but it gains in
that it has a person punished for
violating laws."
Wayte, who works at a school for
disabled adults and at a shelter and
soup kitchen for the homeless in
N
Pasadena, contended he was:
prosecuted only because of protests
such as writing anti-draft letters to
then-President Jimmy Carter.
"I'M RELIEVED that I'm not going
to prison, although I'm facing a sub-
stantial penalty," Wayte said.
In July, 1982, Wayte was indicted on
one count of failing to register. Three
months later, Hatter ruled the gover-
nment had violated Wayte's right to
free speech by prosecuting only vocal
draft resisters.
A federal appeals court overtunred
Hatter's ruling in July, 1983, and in
March the U.S. Supreme Court upheld
that decision.
WAYTE then pleaded guilty to a
single count of failing to register,.
which carries a maximum penalty of
10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Wayte's attorney, Mark Rosen-
baum of the American Civil Liberties
Union, argued for a period of com-
munity service but acknowledged that
Wayte was already doing that.
IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
Reagan asks Congress
to raise debt limit
WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration yesterday asked
Congress to raise the national debt limit above $2 trillion and predicted
that without new borrowing authority the Treasury would run out of cash
by Oct. 15.
John J. Niehenke, acting assistant Treasury secretary for domestic
finance, said the government was spending about $20 billion a month
more than it was taking in, and additional borrowing authority was
needed quickly.
"If the debt limit is not increased, the government will be unable to
meet all of its essential obligations when they fall due - Social Security
checks, payroll checks, unemployment checks, defense contracts, and
principal and interest on its securities," he said.
The Treasury will reach the current debt limit of $1.824 trillion on Sept.
30, and by Oct. 15 its cash reserve of about $20 billion will be empty, he
said.
The request is identical to the amount predicted when Congress passed
the fiscal 1986 budget on Aug. 1. But members of the Senate finance sub-
committee on taxation and debt management still spoke of shock at a sea
of red ink that has doubled since President Reagan took office.
Mob attacks Bitish law minister
BIRMINGHAM, England - An angry crowd attacked Britain's law en
forcement minister yesterday when he visited the scene of overnight
rioting and arson that left two people dead in the country's second-largest
city.
The violence started Monday night between blacks and a policeman
and ended with 50 shops gutted by fire.
It was the worst rioting to hit Britain since 1981, when racial violence
raged for two days in parts of London, Liverpool and Manchester in the
greatest breakdown of law and order this century.
Home Secretary Douglas Hurd visited the rundown district of Han-
dsworth on Tuesday afternoon to view the destruction and quickly drew a
jeering crowd, mostly of black youths.
As Hurd said "I'm here to listen," bricks and bottles sailed out of the
crowd. Hurd was hurried into a police van and driven away unhurt. The
crowd pelted two police vans with stones.
One van drove away, but the mob overturned the second and set it
ablaze, sending a new pall of smoke over a neighborhood still smoldering
from fires.
Stfiled to block ' rWars' test
WASHINGTON - Four House Democrats and the Union of Concerned
Scientists filed suit in federal court yesterday to block a test of the
nation's anti-satellite weapon against a defunct U.S. satellite orbiting in
space.
The suit filed in U.S. District Court claimed the presidential cer-
tification for the test failed to meet criteria set by Congress last year in
passing the Pentagon budget.
There was no official confirmation, but published reports said the test
would be conducted Friday by the Air Force against the "Solwind," a
now-defunct 6-year-old military research satellite.
The Pentagon had no comment on the suit against the first test of the
system using an object in space.
Thailand coup attempt
to be investigated
BANGKOK, Thailand - Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda said
yesterday that the coup attempt against him was suppressed with the
least possible violence and that suspected leaders of the insurrection will
be treated fairly.
He announced a civilian-military investigation into Monday's brief
rebellion by some 500 soldiers who attacked key army installations with
tank fire and machine guns. Hours later, they surrendered under threats
from loyalist troops. Four people were reported killed.
Prem, who rushed home from a trip to Indoesia hours after the coup
was crushed, said yesterday he was not certain if the most influential of
the ' suspected coup leaders, former Prime Minister Kriangsak
Chomanand, had actively participated in the coup. Some reports have
suggested the rebels forced him to join them.
But he said Kriangsak had been present in the Supreme Command
headquarters, which the rebels made their base.
Several members of Parliament called for Kriangsak's expulsion from
that body. Kriangsak is chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee, and his National Democratic Party is one of four partieis in the
coalition government.
Boycott of school in
AIDS case continues
NEW YORK - Nearly 10,000 children skipped classes for a second day
yesterday and hundreds of irate parents picketed Queens schools to
protest a city decision allowing a second-grader born with AIDS to attend
school.
The boycott appeared to weaken since Monday when about 18,000
children stayed out of schools in the borough. Some parents said they
were confronted by the dilemma of whether to disrupt their children's
education or allow them to go to school with a child afflicted with
acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
More than 850 parents and children demonstrated outside at least nine
schools in Queens, carrying signs reading "We're Not Callous, Just
Cautious," "Keep AIDS Out Of School," and "Chancellor - We Don't
Want To Take A Chance."
Some 20 percent of the children attending school in Districts 27 and 29
skipped classes yesterday in the nation's largest school system. Officials
said 9,750 children of the 48,430 students registered in the districts were
abscent.

U.S. ambassador ures
So Afiaato
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) - The American ambassador
returned to South Africa yesterday
with a "very important message"
from President Reagan, and this
country's leading business newspaper
said the new U.S. economic sanctions
show the white-minority regime has.
"pushed the world too far."
U.S. Ambassador Herman Nickel
told reporters at Jan Smuts Airport,
"Negotiations have to be seen to be
starting. Some of the features of the
."apartheid system have to be seen to
be abolished. I think that is absolutely
necessary."
REAGAN withdrew Nickel nearly
R three months ago, after South African
s- spies were suspected of trying to blow
up American oil facilities in Angola,
"°and following the June 14 South
African commando strike on down-
- town Gaborone, the capital of Bot-
swana.
"It is very important that the
United States makes its
disassociation from apartheid very
plain," Nickel added.
Under apartheid, South Africa's
legal system of segregation, 5 million
whites rule 24 million voteless blacks.
A year of anti-apartheid violence has
f=killed a reported 700 people, most of
" R them black.
11111 r NICKEL said Reagan had given
him "a very important message" to
C47deliver to South African President
P.W. Botha, but he would not say what
it was.
change
The ambassador returned a day af-
ter Reagan announced limited,
economic sanctions against South'
Africa.
Business Day, an influential finan-
cial daily, said Reagan's economic
sanctions were "more economically
inconvenient than terminal." But it
added, "The most powerful leader in
the Western world is giving South
Africa a clear and unequivocal
political message: reform must con-
tinue at a pace acceptable to the
Western allies whether Pretoria likes
it or not."
ANTI-APARTHEID groups at-
tacked the sanctions as cosmetic and
inadequate.
Foreign Ministers from the 10
European Common Market countries,
meeting in Luxembourg, denounced
apartheid and nine of the 10 member
countries agreed to a package of
mildly punitive measures.
Britain's opposition prevented a
unanimous agreement on the
package, which included a ban on oil
exports, halting all trade that could
aid the South African military and
police, and prohibiting new
agreements on nuclear cooperation,
said Foreign Minister Leo Tindemans
of Belgium.
COMMON MARKET officials also
issued a political statement denoun-
cing apartheid and calling for the
release of all political prisoners, in-
cluding black nationalist leader
Nelson Mandela.
Tindemans said the sanctions were
meant as a signal to South Africa that
Europe would continue pressing for
an end to the system of racial
separation.
"If things don't change we will do
more," he said at the conclusion of
nearly 10 hours of deliberations by
foreign ministers of the 10 Common
Market nations.
MALCOLM RIFKIND, who
represented Britain in the Luxem-
bourg talks, said his government wan-
ted more time to study the possible ef-
fect of the measures on South Africa.
Among the measures to be taken by
the nine Common Market countries
are:
*An embargo on exports of arms
and paramilitary equipment and a
halt to imports of such equipment
from South Africa.
