DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - President
Dawda Jawara of Gambia promised in
a radio broadcast yesterday to spare
hostage-holding rebels if they surren-
der. There was no word on the hostages,
threatened with death.
In the Gambian Radio broadcast
monitored here, the leader of the tiny
West African nation also said a foreign
power, which he did not name, had
trained, financed, and guided the in-
surgency.
JAWARA FLEW to the Gambian
capital of Banjul on'Sunday, four days
after the Marxist rebels declared a
"dictatorship of the proletariat" while
Jawara was in London for the wedding
of Prince Charles and Lady Diana

IN OTHER Council action, the noise
ordinance was tabled for the second
.time, until the September meeting. This
ordinance would prohibit excessive
noises such as "stereos, yelling,
shouting, whistling, loud talking, or
singing in public streets, lawn mowers,
chain saws," during specified times of
the day.
The ordinance would set noise stan-
dards and decibel ceilings. The city at-
torney, Bruce Laidlaw, has been testing
decibel levels to "determine a
reasonable limit" for particular noise-
makers, such as musical instruments,
construction, and stereos.
Councilwoman Leslie Morris said the
fine under the ordinance would be $500.

THERE WAS no word yesterday on
the fate of 29 hostages, including 18
children. The Marxists threatened Sun-
day to kill the hostages if the
Senegalese soldiers did not leave Gam-
bia.
Jawara said the Gambian people
would not understand what a Marxist-
Leninist regime would mean for a
Moslem country. Gambia, a finger of
land no more than 10 miles wide, juts
from the Atlantic coast about 200 miles
into Senegal along the Gambia River.
Eighty percent of the 600,000 population
is Moslem.
HE CALLED on workers to return to
their jobs and turn in weapons he said
were seized by rebels in their surprise
raid on the camp of the Field Force, the
country's 500-member military.
A Senegal Radio reporter, in an ac-
count from Banjul, said the rebels had
Soviet-made Kalashnikov rifles and 60
of the Soviet equivalent of Land Rover
vehicles, smuggled into Gambia a few
days before the coup.
Gambia, a former British colony with
close ties to Commonwealth nations, is
one of the few African nations which
allow an effective opposition. U.S.
author Alex Haley traced his family
tree to Gambia for his best-selling novel
"roots."
