Lawyer prepares to plea for

Hasenfus
MANAGUA, Nicaragua
(AP)-The lawyer representing
captured Eugene Hasenfus prepared
yesterday to enter his plea to
charges that the American
committed a terrorist act and
violated Nicaraguan security by
taking part in a Contra supply
mission.
The lawyer, Enrique Sotelo
Borgen, refused to say in advance
how he would plead the case before
a People's Tribunal.
Sotelo Borgen met Wednesday
for two hours with Hasenfus at the
tribunal offices.
It was only the second time he
was allowed to meet with his
client, the first American taken
prisoner in the leftist Sandanista
government's close to five year war
against U.S.-supported Contra
rebels.

U.S. attorney general under

back from Nicaragua will spur
discussion about U.S. policies in
Central America. "It's all right if
they4 disagree with me, but maybe
these efforts will make people think
about the stances they're taking,"
e said. Curtis opposes U S aid to,
the Contra rebels in Nicaragua.
CRITICS of the delegation
question the propriety of sending
*good will, and possibly aid to a
government the United States is
coinmitted to overthrowing. Curtis
said that although he supports the
U'.'S. government, "that doesn't
mean I can support every decision it
makes. . the more dialogue we
have (with Nicaraguans), the better
our relationship."
While all delegates view the tour
as-an educational experience, each
ihas a different motive for going.
Pierce said he is eager to meet with
government officials to learn
i#Wther democracy exists, as the
Saridanista government claims.
Pierce, a physician, will also
observe local medical facilities.
SIMILARLY, Jack Eckroad, a
local health and nutrition
consultant, will look into ways
Ann Arbor can alleviate hunger and
sanitation problems in Juigalpa.
According to the sister city task
force, "The principle problem
uigalpa officials would like us to
help with is sanitation-garbage
collection and disposal. Their
Problems are obvious: odor, rats,
and contamination of water. About
g8 percent of the water in Juigalpa
s contaminated and there is no
ewer system. Consequently, the

worst health problem is diarrhea,
followed by respiratory diseases."
In addition, Eckroad said, a 50
percent famine rate in Latin
American rural areas is common.
Eckroad has studied health problems
in Latin America.
But large-scale material aid to
Juigalpa is unlikely, said Gregory
Fox, a delegate and a member of the
sister city task force. "To pay for
the sewage system would cost
$250,000. That's well beyond our
means," Fox said, adding that some
small-scale material aid, such as
helping to pay for a playground
may eventually be offered. "More
likely we can help through
providing expertise," he said.
DELEGATES will also take
materials such as toys, penicillen,
and gifts collected at a send-off
party, Campbell said.

"If we were a decent people, we
would've been concerned with
helping the Nicaraguans with their
health and nutritional problems all
along, instead of sending arms,"
said Rep. Bullard, an opponent of
U.S aid to the Contras.
University English Prof. Alan
Wald will also make the trip,
hoping to study the effect of the
1979 Sandinista revolution on
education and literature in
Nicaragua.
The delegates are mildly
concerned with safety. According to
Fox, four civilians were killed by
Contra rebels last April seven miles
from Juigalpa. The Nicaraguan
government, however, is careful to
take such precautions as closing
roads near rebel activitiy, especially
when foreigners are travelling, he
said.
