Guatemalan leftists
attack capital
GUATEMALA CITY
Leftist guerrillas attacked a
provincial capital with automa
tic weapons, grenades and
dynamite, killing the governor,
deputy police chief and at least
eight other people in two hours
of fighting around government
buildings, a national police
spokesman said Thursday
The spokesman, who asked
anonymity for security reasons,
said there may be more dead
and wounded in Solola, capital
of Solola province, 87 miles
west of the Guatemalan capital.
But he said information was
hard to obtain because the
guerrillas cut telephone lines
before fleeing Wednesday
evening
The police spokesman iden
tified the attackers as members
of the Guerrilla Army of the
Boor, one of four leftist terrorist
groups trying to overthrow the
military-backed rightist regime
of Gen Fernando Romeo Lucas
Garcia
Solola has a population of
25,000
Magazine claims
cheating frequent
NEW YORK
Nearly half the married people
among 24,000 readers of Psy
chology Today who answered a
questionnaire about their mor
als said they have cheated on
their spouses, the magazine
said Thursday
Nearly 4 out of 10 of those
responding said they cheated
on their income taxes
About 8 out of 10 of the sex
cheats felt guilty about their
affairs while 6 of 10 tax cheats
felt guilty about lying to the
government, the magazine said
The magazine said its results
cannot be taken as applying to
Americans as a whole, since its
sampling was self-selected from
among those with access to the
magazine Those answering
were generally young adults
with higher than average
education and nearly 7 of 10
were women, it said
U.S. removes
planes from Egypt
WASHINGTON
In a surprise move, the United
States is removing the two
AWACS surveillance aircraft
sent to Egypt only two weeks
ago, it was reported today
A State Department official,
who asked not to be identified,
said, “The AWACS deployment
to Egypt was always intended as
a temporary measure "
Secretary of State Alexander
Haig had said the AWACS were
sent to Egypt for use in joint
U S -Egyptian military exer
cises, known as Bright Star,
which will be held next month
However, one U.S official,
who spoke only on the condition
that his name not be used, said
Haig "misspoke."
The AWACS were sent to
Egypt on Oct 14, and the official
said they clearly were intended
as a show of support for Egypt
following the assassination of
Pres Anwar Sadat
The official did not rule out
the possibility the AWACS
planes might be used in con
nection with the Bright Star
exercise next month, but said
that decision “hasn't been
made yet "
Also still to be made, he said,
is a decision whether U S.
based B-52 aircraft will par
ticipate in Bright Star, as Haig
had said earlier they might.
The two AWACS were sent
from Tinker Air Force Base in
Oklahoma to help patrol the
Egyptian border with Libya
State Department spokesman
Dean Fischer had said they
might be also used on the
border region of the Sudan,
Egypt's neighbor, which also
was considered threatened by
Libya
Drug cuts down
heart attack rate
PORTLAND
Two Portland medical centers
took part in a national study of a
drug that authorities said
Thursday decreased death
rates by 26 percent among peo
ple with prior heart attacks
Officials at Providence
Medical Center and Kaiser Per
manent Health Services Re
search Center learned that the
study has ended earlier than
planned because test results
were conclusive
The announcement of test re
sults was made in a conference
call involving all 31 medical
centers and the National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute in Wa
shington, D C., which adminis
tered the study
The institute said patients
taking the drug, propranolol,
had a 26 percent lower death
rate than other heart patients in
the tests who were given only a
placebo
"We may be able to reduce
heart attack deaths by 1 percent
a year in the nation," Dr Gor
don Maurice said Thursday
Authorities say the drug slows
the heart rate and makes the
organ work more efficiently
Maurice said the drug has been
prescribed since the early
1960s for high blood pressure
and migraine headaches
Reactions varied
on AW ACS vote
WASHINGTON
Israel reacted with restraint
Thursday to U S Senate ap
proval of the Saudi Arabian
arms sale and said it expects
Pres Ronald Reagan to ensure
the Jewish state's security
Saudi rulers expressed “deep
gratitude’’ and said relations
with America will improve
There was no comment from
West European allies and most
Arab states were silent.
The Soviets claimed the $8 5
billion package, which includes
the world's most sophisticated
spy planes, will spur a new
Mideast arms race and is part of
a U S. preparation for possible
seizure of the region's oil fields
Israeli Prime Minister Mena
chem Begin, in a statement
devoid of harshness, indicated
he expected Reagan to hold to
his pledge to ' help Israel retain
its military and technological
advantages in the Middle East.”
The Saudi defense minister,
Prince Sultan Ibn Abdel Aziz,
said the vote proved that the
U S political decision is in
dependent in the face of enor
mous pressures that tried to
manipulate America's foreign
policy in the service of the ex
pansionist objectives of a for
eign state .”
' The Saudi people will un
doubtedly never forget this
stance by the friends,” he said,
and called on members of Con
gress who voted against the
deal to "have the moral cour
age And give up that posi
tion." The House rejected the
sale by a margin of nearly 3-1
two weeks ago
