Britain must
take Stanley,
says Thatcher

FromtheAssociae dPre
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
declared yesterday that British forces
must take the Falklands capital of St-
naley by force because the embattled
Argentine garrison has refused to
surrender.
The Buenos Aires junta vowed it will
not bend to British demands.
THATCHER told the House of Com-
mons in London her troops "will now
have to take by force" the last Argen-
tine stronghold because Buenos Aires
has not responded to appeals for
surrender and withdrawal.
Argentine fighter-bombers sank a
British frigate, destroyed a "large lan-
ding craft," and damaged two other
landing craft yesterday near Port Fit-
zroy on East Falkland island, Argen-
tine news agencies reported.
The official news agency Telam and
the privately owned agency DYN
quoted high military sources as saying
the damage was inflicted in two after-
noon raids from air bases in southern
Argentina.
At the same time, the Defense
Ministry in London said Britain now
has landed more than 9,000 troops on
the Falklands.
AS BRITISH military sources repor-
ted British 105mm guns shelled the
Argentine garrison in Stanley for the
seventh straight day. Thatcher said
there has been "no response what-
soever" from Buenos Aires to British
surrender pleas.
"If the will and the consent were
there, they only have to contact the
British commander in the field and the

withdrawal would be arranged before
battle," she said. "There is no obstacle
in the way of Argentine withdrawal ex-
cept the Argentines."
Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor
Costa Mendez told reporters in Buenos
Aies that any further talks to stop the
fighting would require "a true British
desire to negotiate." So far, he said,
"Britain has been an emissary of
ultimatums and we not accept
ultimatums."
THEIR REMARKS heightened
speculation that the British comman-
der, marine Maj. Gen. Jeremy Moore,
will soon unleash his troops in an all-out
assault on the Argentine stronghold.
Weather is a crucial factor - it is win-
ter in the South Atlantic.
In a war-related-incident, the U.S.
Coast Guard in New York reported a
Liberian-registered supertanker had
radioed that it was bombed by a four-
engine plane 480 miles northeast of the
Falkland Islands. It said the tanker
Hercules, with a crew of 30 Italians, did
not report any casualties but said there
was some damage when the bomb from
the propeller-driven aircraft exploded
in the water after bouncing off the deck.
The tanker, believed to be carrying
ballast and not oil, reported it was
listing 6 degrees and heading for Brazil.
Argentina's official Telam news
agency quoted a military spokesman as
saying Argentina has no airplane
similar to the one described by the
tanker or "any other kind of bomber-
type aircraft capable of flying that
far."
