Linder family arrives
MATAGALPA, Nicaragua
(AP) — Benjamin Linder, an
American volunteer killed in an
attack by U.S.-backed Contra
rebels, was buried with honors
Thursday in this provincial city
among the people he was trying
to help.
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.
State radio said the leftist
Sandinista government had
awarded the Order of Com
mander Jose Benito Escobar to
the dead volunteer. It is the
highest citation for workers and
had never been given to a
foreigner.
National
Reagan promises veto
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan promised Prime
Minister Yasuhiro Nakasorie on
Thursday he would veto legisla
tion requiring trade retaliation
against Japan, hut he refused to
lift sanctions already in place
without evidence Tokyo has
stopped unfair sales practices.
In a move that pleased U.S.
officials. Nakasone told Reagan
he had directed the Bank of
|apan and the Finance Ministry
to lower short-term interest
rates.
Reagan and Nakasone met at
the White House against the
background of the sharpest
trade friction between the two
countries since World War II,
fueled largely by America's
huge trade deficit with Japan,
which totaled $58.6 billion last
year.
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.
