memories
stirring
   WASHINGTON (AP) -In a political battle tinged with memories of Vietnam, congressional critics are portraying President Reagan’s deepening military support for El Salvador’s junta as a step into a new "quagmire.”
    The lines sharpened Tuesday with U.S. State Secretaiy Alexander Haig declaring that the United States will do “whatever is necessary” to block a leftist victory in El Salvador and critics charging a cover-up of human rights abuses.
    Three Democrats in the House of Representatives introduced a resolution specifically to overturn Reagan’s certification that the Salvadoran government is making a “concerted” effort to protect human rights. If enacted, the resolution would cut off future military aid.
     While conceding that the measure has little chance of passing, Representatives Gerry Studds of Massachusetts, Tom Harkin of Iowa and Bob Edgar of Pennsylvania said they hope it will help build public opposition to Reagan’s policies, which they compared to U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
    Meanwhile, Haig said Reagan “has made it very clear” he would be reluctant to commit U.S. combat troops to the Central American country “except in extremity.” But Haig declined to rule out the possibility.
    Reagan sent 55 noncombat military advisers to help the Salvadoran military last year, but said at the time he had no intention of sending combat troops.
     This week, the administration said it will send $55 million in emergency military equipment, about $25 million of it to replace aircraft destroyed last week in a guerrilla raid.
   VICENZA, Italy (AP) — Brig.-Gen. James Dozier said Tuesday he battled “excruciating boredom” but never despaired although chained and confined to a tiny tent throughout his six-week captivity in a Red Brigades terrorist “people’s prison.”
    The U.S. Army general also told a news conference his Italian captors gave him no indication of a foreign connection to the Red Brigades.
    U.S. officials said Dozier will fly to Washington today and meet with President Reagan on Thursday.
    The general told his first full news conference since his rescue last Thursday that he spent most of his captivity dozing, reading books and newspaper clippings on his abduction, and moving his arms and legs for better blood circulation.
    “The period was characterized by excruciating boredom.... I went from competitive supersonic existence to slow subsnic existence.”

    Asked what he missed most during his captivity, Dozier replied:
    “In addition to not having my personal freedom, not being with my wife, the thing I missed most was the physical exercise.... I normally jog about four kilometres a day.”
    The 50-year-old general admitted that he had ignored warnings by Italian authorities and failed to take adequate security to protect himself against a terrorist kidnapping.
    He said it had never occurred to him that the Red Brigades would be interested in kidnapping an American.
    Dozier, the highest-ranking U.S. officer at the NATO base in Verona, was abducted from his unguarded apartment in that northern Italian city Dec. 17 in the first political kidnapping of an American in Italy.
    Italian newspapers and some magistrates have said there is evidence of links between Italian terrorist groups and foreign intelligence services. But Dozier said his captors gave him no indication at all of outside support.
    “They assured me they were Italian Communists,” he said.
    These details of his captivity emerged from Dozier’s news conference at the chapel of the U.S. Army base here, and from military spokesman Lt.-Col. Jack Barham:
    —	His right wrist and left ankle were chained to a steel cot for the 42 days, and he was never allowed to leave the two-rquare-metre tent constantly lit by a 40-watt bulb. He was not permitted to shower and was forced to use a portable toilet in the tent.
    —	He spoke very little with his captors because they did not understand English and his Italian was very poor. Th terrorists made “no real serious effort” to extract military secrets from him.
    —	He saw only four terrorists wearing ski masks with narrow eye openings, who rotated guard shifts outside his tent.
    Police captured five terrorists when they stormed the apartment and have arrested at least an additional 25 since then.

Kingdome fatality: $1msought
    SEATTLE (AP) - The father of a 17-year-old youth who fell to his death while walking on a railing in the Kingdome has filed a $1 million claim, accusing King County of negligence.
     William Brady Wales III, a Seattle High School student who had been attending a high school marching band competition, died after he fell 15 metres from a railing Dec. 4.
     His death was the second from a Kingdome fall. Pamela Lynn Melville, 16, of Renton, Wash., was fatally injured in a 16-metre fall from an upper-level Kingdome ramp during a Rolling Stones concert Oct. 15.
'Bloody raid' by rebels

DOZIER TELLS NEWSMEN
 Captivity was 'boring'
   SAN SALVADOR(AP) — El Salvador’s government claimed leftist guerrillas massacred 150 peasants in a northeastern village and that its army repulsed a daylight attack on a city in the southeast.
    However, the Defence Ministry did not dispute the rebels’ claim of holding another northeastern town, Corinto, since Sunday.
   A Defence Ministry spokesman, Col. Eusebio Coto, said leftist guerrillas carried out a bloody weekend raid on Nueva Trinidad, about 121 kilometres northeast of San Salvador near the Honduran border.
     Coto said the raiders killed the local military commander and nine of his men, then slaughtered about 150 peasants, more than half the population of the village. Another unconfirmed report said the guerrillas suffered some casualties and forced surviving villagers to carry away the rebels’ dead and wounded when they fled at dawn Sunday.
Bush
alarm
 false
    WASHINGTON (Reuter) — A falling rock or chunk of cement that struck the roof of Vice-Presidcnt George Bush’s	bulletproof
  limousine set off immediate alarm in this city still jumpy from memories of the attempt on President Reagan’s life last March.
    No one was injured in Tuesday’s incident which occurred about 1.5 kilometres from the White House and within minutes brought forth a massive operation involving helicopters, Special Weapons and Tactics teams, police, Secret Service agents and the FBI.
    Security agencies said Tuesday night the investigation was still open but the FBI had ruled out the use of any sort of gun and said they were “99 per cent sure” the incident was accidental.
Witness 'certain' of links
   ATLANTA (AP) - A Canadian fibre expert testified Tuesday he was “nearly certain” that Wayne Williams had some contact with three slain young blacks, including two Williams is charged with murdering.
    Barry Gaudette, a scientific adviser to the RCMP in Ottawa, said he drew the conclusion after studying fibres and hairs found on the bodies of the three victims.
    “I’m nearly certain there was some sort' of association between the victims and the environment of Wayne Williams,” Gaudette testified at Williams’ trial.
    The possibility that Williams had not had any contact with them, he added, was “so remote as not to be worth considering.”
    Williams, a 23-year-old black freelance photographer and aspiring talent promoter, is charged with-murdering Nathaniel Cater, 27, and Jimmy Ray Payne, 21. two of 28 young blacks whose deaths over a 22-month period have been investigated by a special police task force.

    Journalists who visited Nueva Trinidad on Tuesday afternoon said they saw about a dozen bodies still lying in the streets. Independent observers speculated that the Defence Ministry exaggerated the attack on Nueva Trinidad in an attempt to counter reports of massacres by government security forces.
    Reporters from the New York Times and the Washington Post who visited rebel-controlled areas in northeast El Salvador's Morazan province reported last week that villagers there told them government troops shot and killed as many as 1,000 unarmed peasants during an anti-guerrilla sweep in December.
    The Defence Ministry denied the reports, and the U.S. State Department told Congress on Monday that American investigators concluded it was "impossible to prove or disprove excessive violence during the sweep.” But Assistant State
 Secretary Thomas Enders said the investigators found "no evidence ... that government forces systematically massacred civilians.”
    Meanwhile, a military source in Usulutan said guerrillas attacked that city of 25,000 people 113 kilometres east of San Salvador shortly after dawn Tuesday and killed two national police agents and a soldier.
     It was not until after six hours of fighting that the army said it had restored order, and it admitted sporadic shooting was continuing.
     Journalists in the area reported a headquarters of the national police and an army barracks were attacked with automatic weapons and grenades. Residents of the city reached by telephone said the streets were deserted, and they were afraid to go out.
    Ihe guerrillas’ Radio Venceremos claimed the rebels were still in control of Corinto, a town of 2,000
 people in the northeast. The broadcast said the guerrillas wiped out the town’s army post.
     Corinto is one of at least four small towns in Morazan province that the guerrillas of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front claim to have won control of in the last two months.
    Defence Minister Jose Guillermo Garcia, the military leader of the U.S.-backed government, was scheduled to fly to Washington today, but there was no word of his mission.
    U.S. State Secretary Alexander Haig said Tuesday the United States will do "whatever is necessary” to block leftist victory in El Salvador. The Reagan administration this week announced it will send another $55 million in emergency military equipment and will ask Congress to approve another $100 million in aid. Congress approved $26 million in December.

HIGH-SOCIETY COUPLE
Mom wanted divorce, son testifies in trial
   NEWPORT, .1. (API - A month before falling into a coma, Martha (Sunny) von Bulow considered divorcing Claus von Bulow for a reason "too horrible” to mention, her son said in von Bulow’s attempted-murder trial.
    Testmony in the trial opened Tuesday following lawyers’ accusations that the Danish-born financier was a fortune hunter with an eye on his wife’s $30-million estate; that Mrs. von Bulow told her husband she wasn’t interested in sex; and that she tried to stop him from working.
    A defence lawyer described her as "disturbed.”
    Von Bulow is charged with trying to kill his wife with insulin injections during Christmas visits to the couple’s luxurious, art-filled mansion in 1979 and 1980. Prosecutors say von Bulow was motivated by love for another woman and greed for his wife’s fortune.
   Mrs. von Bulow was found on a bathroom floor Dec. 21,1980, and doctors say she is not expected to recover from her coma.
    Mrs. von Bulow’s son, Prince Alexander von Auersperg, told jurors he gradually came to suspect his stepfather injected Mrs. von Bulow with insulin in an attempt to kill her.
    The 22-year-old Brown University student said Tuesday the subject ol
  divorce came up in the fall of 1980 in a talk with his mother.
    “My mother said she wanted a divorce," he said. “I asked her why and she said it was something so horrible she didn’t want to tell me. I asked her again and she said it was too horrible to say.”
    Von Auersperg was to take the Superior Court witness stand again today for more questioning by prosecutor Stephen Famiglietti and the first cross examination by defence lawyer Herald Fahringer.
    Von Bulow sat impassively as the prosecution accused him of planning a devious scheme to kill his wife and the defence described him as proud, industrious and mindful of his wife’s every need.
    The defence lawyer said von Bulow twice rushed to save his wife from bouts with drug and alcohol abuse and even asked her doctor if she was strong enough to go through a divorce.
    "The sad fact is she caused her own coma,” Fahringer said. “What happened to her wasn’t anybody’s fault but her own.”
    But the prosecutor contended von Bulow used a hypodermic needle that he kept in a little black bag to inject his wife with insulin in a "clandestine, subtle and ingenious attempt ... to murder her.”
U.S. hits TV critics
   WASHINGTON (Reuter) — U.S. officials said Tuesday their Let Poland Be Poland television show had been seen by 160 million people and accused the media of unfairly criticizing it before it was broadcast.
    They said early criticism of the program, focusing on the participation of entertainers such as Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope, had not been justified.
    Their contributions had been serious, matching the statements by President Reagan, * Prime Minister Trudeau and other world leaders who called for an end to martial law in Poland and expressed solidarity with the Polish people, they said.

 Israelis condemned
    UNITED NATIONS (Reuter) — The European Economic Community on Tuesday condemned Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem and said it regards both actions as null and void.

Candidates set
   DUBLIN (AP)-The Irish Republican Socialist party, a Marxist group linked to a Northern Ireland nationalist group, will run candidates in at least six districts in general elections Feb. 18. party sources said Tuesday.
    The party is the legal political wing of the Irish National Liberation Army, a splinter group of the Irish Republican Army that has claimed responsibility for scores of killings in sectarian and political fighting in British-governed Northern Ireland.
Red carpet for Mubarak
   WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan was preparing a re carpet welcome for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak today at the White House.
    Beyond full ceremonial trappings, the treatment includes a planned $400-million raise in military aid to Egypt next year.
    In return, the administration expects to receive Mubarak’s commitment to follow Sadat’s policies toward the United States and Israel.
    Mubarak, 53, arrived Tuesday night for a four-day visit to Washington, his first as president. He visited Washington frequently in his capacity as vice-president to Sadat.
    The Egyptian leader was greeted at Andrews air force base by U.S. State

 Secretary Alexander Haig, who accompanied him on a 15-minute helicopter ride to downtown Washington. Mubarak stayed overnight at Blair House, across the street from the White House.
    Reagan planned to preside at an official welcoming ceremony for the Egyptian head of state in the White House East Room today prior to a private meeting in the Oval Office.
    Sadat was provided with the same warm welcome during his visit to Washington last August, two months before he was assassinated Oct. 6. While Reagan has scheduled less time for private discussions with Mubarak than he did with Sadat, officials said this was not significant.
