Linder, a 27-year-old mechanical engineer from Portland, and two Nicaraguan militiamen were killed Tuesday near the hamlet of La Camaleona in northern Nicaragua, where he worked as an unpaid volunteer in a rural electrification project. “He believed that through work he could make life better for (the Nicaraguan) people and help strenghten democracy,'* Linder's father, David, said dur ing the funeral ceremony.

Marines had access WASHINGTON (AP) — Marine guards al the U.S. Em bassy in Moscow were provided with combinations for all secure rooms and safes, making the penetration of sensitive areas much easier for KGB agents alleged to have prowled the building at night, intelligence sources said Thursday. Rooms in which CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency operatives worked, as well as the communications vault, were closed at night by steel doors with combination locks, said one intelligence source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. A State Department source also said that until 1983. a code expert was stationed in the com munications vault 24 hours a day, but that after that, no one was assigned to the room bet ween midnight and 6 a m., another development which would make it easier for the KGH to penetrate the area.
