(2) Pacific Northwest Beil Salvadoran murder trial begins ZACATECOLUCA, El Salvador (AP) — The trial of five former national guardsmen accused of murdering four American chur chwomen begins today, more than three years after the kill ings opened a fissure in U.S.-Salvadoran relations. The case has trudged slowly forward under U.S. pressure for a verdict, but while the prosecu tion is optimistic about a convic tion, some of the defense lawyers have told their clients there is insufficient evidence. U.S. diplomats concede the defendants may be acquitted. The proceedings are expected to conclude by Thursday. The trial of the five men charg ed with the slayings is to be held in Zacatecoluca, a town 35 miles east of the capital. It is also the town closest to the site where the bodies of Maryknoll nuns Ita Ford, 40, and Maura Clarke, 48, of New York, Ursuline nun Dorothy Kazel, 41, and layworker Jean Donovan, z/, both of Cleveland, were found in a shallow grave on Dec. 4, 1980. According to pre-trial testimony, their killers were five national guardsmen who ab ducted them as they drove to the capital from the Comalapa International Airport. The guardsmen allegedly took the women to an isolated dirt path, raped some of them and shot them to death. Following the slayings, former Pres. )immy Carter suspended all aid to the government while an investigation started. Aid was restored when the government appeared to be threatened in )anuary 1981 by what guerrillas were calling their "final offensive." But the apparent lack of pro gress in the case spurred Con gress in )anuary 1982 to place conditions on U.S. aid that forc ed the executive branch to cer Illy duvantca mavjt: in the case and in human rights in general in order for military aid to proceed. That provision continued each six months until Pres. Ronald Reagan vetoed it in 1983. This year Congress slapped an embargo on $19 million in already approved military aid pending a verdict in the case. The Reagan administration has made clear to authorities here the need for a verdict to gather public and congressional support for continued aid to the Salvadoran government in its 41/2-year-old war against leftist guerrillas. Coupled with the election of moderate President Jose Napoleon Duarte, who is in Washington on an official visit this week, a conviction in the nuns' case could help persuade the U.S. Congress to open its coffers to El Salvador. CM head passed Carter's briefing papers WASHINGTON (AP) — House investigators have concluded that CIA Director William Casey arranged to get Carter administration documents for Pres. Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign, sources familiar with the House probe said Tuesday night. The sources said that besides naming Casey, who was Reagan's campaign manager, a 2,400-page report scheduled to be released Wednesday states that the House investigation was unable to identify who in the Carter-camp supplied the documents. The report further says that the year-old probe by the Post Office and Civil Service human resources subcommittee found credible evidence that a crime had been committed in the transfer of the Carter papers, sources said. A justice Department probe concluded in February there was no credible evidence of a federal crime, but Rep. Donald Albosta, D-Mich., head of the subcomittee conducting the probe, said Tuesday night that "our report will refer to several areas where we feel a crime was commit ted." He refused to elaborate. Last year, White House Chief of Staff James Baker, another former campaign official, told Continued on Page 6A et al.
