Haig to travel to London for Falkland discussion By R. GREGORY NOKES Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP ) - Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. was ordered by President Reagan yesterday to travel to London and Buenos Aires to consult over the Falkland Islands crisis, and one administration official declared "we're going to be the honest broker" of the dispute. Both Great Britain and Argentina, meanwhile, expressed some willingness to arrive at a peaceful settlement. But Britain also declared a 200-mile war zone around the Falklands, effective next Monday, saying that any Argentine ships in the area "will be treated as hostile and are liable to be attacked by British forces." Haig was scheduled to leave for London sometime after midnight. He will confer with British Foreign Secretary Francis Pym and probably also with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher before continuing to Buenos Aires later in the week. In Kingston, Jamaica, an administration official accompanying Reagan on a. visit to the Caribbean declared "there is cause to suppose that the United States has now been accepted as a mediator" in the dispute. Other spokesmen, however, had shied away earlier from using the term "mediator" with regard to the Haig mission. "Obviously, we're going to be the honest broker," said the official traveling with Reagan. He said both sides were looking for a solution but "their threshold of pain remains a question." The official, who asked not to be identified, also said the Soviet Union could "try to take advantage" as the dispute continues "pretending to be the champion of the third world." "Inevitably, we'd end up as mediator," he said, adding, "what is the alternative — to stay out of it?" This official also said that he thought the United States had a six-to-10 day warning about the potential crisis. In London, criticism of Thatcher has rested in part on claims that she had advance warning of Argentina's plans and failed to head them off. Asked about the British war-zone declaration, deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said "I would not steer you to indicate this was any surprise to the United States." Speakes said "the secretary of state is about to embark on a trip to London, and I'm sure the entire range of matters involving the South Atlantic situation will be discussed." On Capitol Hill, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, said the United States "should seek to mediate British and Argentine concerns, bearing in mind that the best policy is to recognize Argentine sovereignty over the islands." "The stakes are too high for the United States not to take a part in this controversy," Helms said. He said the original British takeover of the islands violated the Monroe doctrine and added that he had "every confidence that proper guarantees could be negotiated concerning the rights of the islanders." In London, a statement issued by the Foreign Office said Pym "warmly welcomes President Reagan's decision to send Mr. Haig to London. He comes as a friend and ally to consult with us on an issue of great importance'to us both —the implementation of Security Council resolution 502, for which both countries voted" Saturday. The resolution calls for the withdrawal of Argentine forces from the Falklands. In New York, Argentina's ambassador to the United Nations, Eduardo Roca, hinted that his government might consider a pullout as part of an overall settlement. Haig will be working against an unofficial deadline. A massive British naval force is scheduled to arrive in the Falklands within two weeks to retake them by force if necessary, according to the fleet's instructions. However, if there is the prospect of a peaceful settlement acceptable to the British, it's possible the fleet will simply'drop anchor to await developments. Meanwhile, Alan Romberg, the deputy State Department spokesman, said the United States had indications "a couple of days" in advance of Friday's invasion of the Falklands by Argentina that such action was being planned. Romberg also declined to say that the United States is neutral in the dispute, even though Defense Department officials have insisted the U.S. government will not take sides. The Daily Collegian Thursday, April 8 Reagan promotes Caribbean trade By JAMES GERSTENZANG Associated Press Writer KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — President Reagan, on the first stop of a trip designed to amplify U.S. friendship with the island nations of the Caribbean, said yesterday he is determined to expand "the opportunity of your people to trade freely with us." Reagan, greeted by Prime Minister Edward Seaga and school children who danced the calypso beneath a blazing sun, told his hosts that "Jamaica is an inspiration to all of us who believe freedom and economic development are compatible and mutually reinforcing." "The people of Jamaica and the people of the Caribbean are the hope of economic recovery of this region so vital to us," Reagan said. He said he and his wife were "delighted to visit Jamaica as so many Americans do each year." The president then headed for a formal meeting with Seaga, followed by a state dinner. • Several hundred Jamaicans lined an airport fence for the president's arrival aboard Air Force One. \ Seaga told Reagan he wished he could remain longer than the scheduled 19 hours, so he could gain "a personal impression" of "the degree of welcome the people of Jamaica" would express to him. While the president and the prime minister conferred at Jamaica House, where Seaga's office is located, Nancy Reagan attended a tea given by Mitsy Seaga, the prime minister's wife, and then planned to visit the children's ward at Bustamante Hospital. The president spent part of the three-hour, 45- minute flight to Kingston being briefed by Deputy Secretary of State Walter Stoessel and Steven Bosworth, a deputy assistant secretary for interamerican affairs. Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr., who was to have accompanied by the president, was instead dispatched to London and Buenos Aires to seek a solution in the Falkland Islands crisis. The people of Jamaica and the people of the Caribbean are the hope of economic recovery of this region so vital to us.' — President Ronald Reagan Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean. It gained its independence from Britain 20 years ago. Reagan's visit is the first by an American president to either Jamaica or Barbados, his second stop. "It is an area which has not, frankly, received highpriority treatment in America's foreign policy over the years," said an administration official, requesting anonymity. In his airport remarks, Reagan told the prime minister: "The progress that you are making here with your own program shows what can be done when people living in a democratic society are given the opportunity to work and enjoy the fruits of their labor." "The United States can best help by expanding the opportunity of your people and those of your neighbors to trade freely with us, to give them a chance to produce and sell their products in a competitive free market," Reagan said. The president saluted the "strong democratic tradition" of Jamaica and said, "The success of our venture depends on cooperation, and cooperation is easier between friends who share the same ideals." Reagan left behind a U.S. capital in the grip of a late blast of wintry weather. The primary topics on his schedule here were the president's Caribbean Basin initiative proposed to Congress last month to provide $350 million in social and economic aid, and Jamaicia's own economic \**\ < JrK ' ***** S9*"**" . V problems. A senior American official said later that Reagan, in his meeting with the Jamaican, focused on the "very encouraging turnaround" in the Jamaican economy, which the aide said "has now bottomed out." ¦ \ The Argentine-British clash over the Falkland | Islands did not come up, U.S. officials said. 1 The official said that Reagan's Caribbean plan p represented ''more than a temporary reaction'' to the | region's problems but rather a "permanent commit- 1 ment of the United States to the well-being of the 1 region." 1 The administration is seeking to add $50 million to | its current allocation of $112 million to Jamaica this * year and is asking for approximately $150 million in i[ economic assistance for the fiscal year beginning Oct. l. According to the official, who asked that he not be identified by name, the two leaders discussed Central America and agreed on the need to support "the strengthening of moderate political elements." The official said that the election a week and a half ago in El Salvador was the subject of a brief discussion and the leaders agreed that the size, of the turnout indicated a support for democracy. This source said that Seaga expressed appreciation for the U.S. financial support but did not seek greater aid. j Seaga told reporters his talks with Reagan had been "productive, fruitful and very amiable. Noting that the drafting of the Caribbean basin initiative began with his visit to the Reagan White House, the first by a foreign leader, Seaga said he had ' to "express satisfaction" with the results. He praised the Reagan administration for giving "critical support at the right time." & m V 4t \ M$ w V >
Committee approves early-retirement plans HARRISBURG (AP ) — The House Education Committee has approved two early-retirement plans for school employees to ease the impact of teacher layoffs and to provide a remedy for "teacher burnout." Both plans were amended into a Senate bill and sent to the House floor. One of the plans, proposed by Gov. Thornburgh, would provide a one-time retirement option in which teachers age 55 or older could retire with full benefits if they have at least 25 years of service. Presently, teachers must wait until age 60 to retire with full benefits. Thornburgh has said that proposal would save school districts up to $72 Senator arrested after brawl with policeman <strong>PH</strong>ILADEL<strong>PH</strong>IA (AP ) - State Sen. Milton Street was arrested yesterday when he got into a fight with a policeman who was stopping him for failure to appear in court on a private criminal complaint, police said. Street, a Philadelphia Republican, had just turned himself in at Municipal Court where a bench Warrant had been issued for his arrest for an incident on a picket line during last fall's teachers strike, according to his attorney, Hugh C. Clark. The bench warrant had been withdrawn during Street's court appearance. "I'm sure the police officer believed at the time that the warrant was outstanding," said Assistant District Attorney William Chadwick, who is prosecuting the private complaint against Street. Following yesteray's incident, Street was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest and making terroristic threats, said Det. William Egenlauf. million a year and would help reduce the number of layoffs that will result from dropping enrollments. He estimated that 10,700 teachers statewide would have the option of retiring early. The retirment;plan proposed by the Pennsylvania State Education Association would allow teachers to retire at full pension after 30 years of service — including military service — regardless of their age. The PSEA proposal is intended to bring younger teachers into the schools and allow teachers who are "burned out" to retire early. AP losorphoto Sen.

Gallant Eagle called success despite deaths MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP ) — Operation Gallant Eagle, the desert military exercise in which five paratroopers and three soldiers died, was proclaimed a success yesterday by the commander of the U.S. Rapid Deployment Force. "It's a shame we had to have the tragic fatalities," Lt. Gen. Robert C. Kingston said. "Other than that, it was a successful operation ... we do have accidents." Kingston said such dangers are the reason for hazardous duty pay — $83 more per month to enlisted men and $110 to officers. IRA plans Easter violence, police report says BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — Northern Ireland's police commander, Sir John Hermon, said yesterday that intelligence reports indicate Irish Republican Army guerrillas plan an Easter wave of attacks in the British province. In a memorandum sent to the Royal Ulster Constabulary police force, Hermon urged extra security precautions over the holiday weekend that marks the 66th anniversary of the IRA's ill-fated Easter insurrection in Dublin in 1916. "The warning was issued because it is known that the IRA intend to commit more murders and cause disruption at this time," a police spokesman said. The reported guerrilla offensive was seen as a new bid by the Provisional IRA Hopes dim for 5,000 stranded on volcano VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico (AP)- Medical authorities held out little hope yesterday for 5,000 villagers stranded on the slopes of El Chinchonal volcano, out of reach of rescuers and trapped for 10 days by the lava and debris of continuing eruptions. "Every day that goes by we fear more for their lives," Dr. Rigoberto Garcia, chief of medical services in Chiapas State said. "Their principal lack must be water and the rain of rocks their biggest threat." ' The military waited for suffocating, poisonous clouds to clear enough to send The paratroopers were killed March 30 during a mock invasion. The results of an investigation into their deaths is expected in about two weeks. In addition, one soldier was killed in a car accident, another died when a tanker oveturned on him and a Marine was crushed to death in a vehicle accident.

Five of the injured remain hospitalized. to restore its credibility after more than 200 suspected activists were arrested in recent weeks. Many were betrayed by informers and defectors. The IRA's week-long battle against British rule in 1916 set off a guerrilla war that ended with Britain granting independence to southern Ireland, now the Irish Republic. The almost exclusively Roman Catholic guerrillas now are fighting to end British rule in Protestant-dominated Northern Ireland and unite it with the Republic. The IRA has killed five British soldiers, a police officer and an alleged informer since March 25. paratroopers with food and clothes to half a dozen small towns where the villagers are believed trapped. A pall of dense ash and dust, mixed with steam, lava and white-hot sand hangs 33,000 feet over the volcano, making daytime skies as dark as night. It moves with the shifting winds, spreading a carpet of gritty dust, kneedeep in some places, over a radius of 250 miles. Medical authorities in Chiapas and Tabasco states say there is very little hope anyone could still be found alive.
