Salvadoran guerillas threaten
to kill all U.S. advisers
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - El Salvador's largest leftist guerrillas group
the Popular Liberation Forces, vowed yesterday it would keep killing U.S.
advisers until they are all forced to leave the country.
The FPL, as it is known by its acronym in Spanish, claimed responsibility
for the May 25 murder of Lt. Cmdr. Albert Schaufelberger III, deputy com-
mander of the American military advisory group. He was the first U.S. ad-
viser killed in El Salvador.
"All the military advisers sent here will return to the United States in cof-
fins," the FPL said in a communique, copies of which were sent to local
radio stations in the capital.
The FPL leaflets said Schaufelberger's murder was a warning against
"the bellicose Reagan administration so that it does not continue its
aggression against our people."
Israel vows not to attack Syria
In a surprise address to fsrael's parliament yesterday, Prime Minister
Menachem Begin said Israel had no intention of attacking Syria and vowed
to "bring the boys home" from Lebanon.
"Yes, we will bring the boys home," Begin told the Knesset or parliament
in Jerusalem. "The Syrians (and) the PLO will also leave," he said referring
to the 40,000 Syrian and 10,000 Palestine Liberation Organization troops also
occupying Lebanon.
The prime minister said it "has not even occurred to us to attack the
Syrian forces (and) we hope that now, after the Syrian military maneuvers,
they will not attack us."
Job program attracts thousands
LANSING - Thousands of jobless young people streamed into Michigan Em-
ployment Security Commission offices across the state yesterday to sign up
for the Michigan Youth Corps.
Kelly Rossman, a youth corps spokeswoman in Lansing, said officials
believed at least 10,000 or more forms were processed on the first day of the
10-day application period.
No major problems were reported and lines, where they existed at all,
were short, largely due to the brevity and simplicity of the 12-question ap-
plication form.
The youth corps, approved by the legislature only last week, is expected to
provide 25,000 jobs directly. Another 35,000 are being created through the
federal CETA program, raising the total to 60,000
Rossman said one Detroit MESC office processed 500 in two hours. An of-
fice in Lansing processed 300 in the same period.
U.S. asks help of NATO allies
BRUSSELS, Belgium - Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger asked the
European allies yesterday to increase their efforts to help the United States
deal with crises in Afghanistan, Iran and other trouble spots.
Weinberger made the request at a meeting of 14 Western alliance defense
ministers - asking them to "make sure we will not be caught unprepared"
- a senior U.S. official said.
The official said Weinberger also "argued strongly" for the highest
possible defense spending by allied governments.
The United States also pledged to make available for European defense
"super" weapons developed under President Reagan's program to build a
defensive missile.
Since the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and the revolution in Iran, the
United States has been pressuring the allies to come up with sound con-
tingency plants to fill gaps in European defense if the United States is forced
to divert troops to Southwest Asia.
U.S. envoy to begin
Central American tour
WASHINGTON - Declaring that "Nothing is more blessed than the act of
making peace," former Sen. Richard Stone was sworn in as a special envoy
to Central America yesterday, the eve of an exploratory mission to El
Salvador, Nicaragua and eight other nations in the troubled region.
Secretary of State George Shultz praised the Florida Democrat as a man
of "great skill, capacity, and energy" and described his chore as "most impor-
tant and most difficult." Most of the Latin America diplomatic corps looked
on at the ceremony.
State Department deputy spokesman Alan Romberg described the
mission as a fact-finding trip aimed at getting the views of regional officials
on U.S. aspects of the situation in Central America, Mexico, Venezuela,
Colombia and Panama have been leading an effort to determine whether
there is a basis for achieving a peaceful settlement to the various ideological
conflicts in the area.
Officials have said one of Stone's primary responsibilities will be to at-
tempt to persuade moderate leftists to participate in the Salvadoran
presidential elections this fall.
