Nicaragua president issues
secret orders to break strike
United Press International
BENNEKOM MANAGUA,
' Nicaragua — President Anastasio
Somoza s secret orders to break a
nationwide strike aimed at his over
throw means it’s time “to crack
some heads,” aides to the embattled
president said Sunday.
One Somoza adviser said that
starting Monday, 300 National
Guard jeeps will be patrolling Man
agua to protect businesses that want
to open and disperse groups of
troublemakers.
Another said the troops will get
tough with people who hurl concus
sion bombs — explosive devices
that make much noise but do little
damage. Several such bombs ex-
ploded overnight in Managua.
Somoza Saturday told a small
group of foreign journalists, "The
current Carter government is in the
hands of left wingers, of Com
munists, and that Washington and
Moscow had launched a campaign to
oust him.
The United States “controls world
propaganda and the image of men
and peoples,” Somoza was quoted as
saying by the Spanish news agency
EFE. "Now many congressmen at
tack me in order to win votes on the
left. “But do not believe that I am
alone and that 1 do not have friends
in the United States. My friends
have told Carter not to follow this
road if he wants (Nicaraguan) sup
port in many questions. The battle
is being fought in the United
States,” he said.
The 51-year-old Somoza passed
up his usual weekend outing to his
sugar plantation at Monte Limar, 25
miles west of Managua, to meet
with his cabinet late Saturday at his
National Guard compound known as
"The Bunker.”
Top Somoza advisers said the
president gave his ministers specific
orders on how to break the 10-day-
old strike, called by an alliance of
businessmen and labor leaders to
force him to resign.
One adviser said although specific
details of the orders would have to
remain secret for the time being,
“The time has come to crack some
heads. ”

his Central American nation of 2.4
million for the past 41 years, has
been criticized by some rightist
leaders recently for being too soft on
his opponents.
The National Guard was known to
be elated by his orders Thursday to
attack a rag-tag band of anti-Somoza
students, some as young as 12, who
leld the northern town of
Matagalpa for six days. Some 50
persons died in the attack, accord
ing to unofficial reports.

ATLANTA — Federal health offi
cials said Saturday they were check
ing on a possibly defective batch of
vaccine that has been distributed
among children in 11 states, but
were not sure the serum is faulty.
The vaccine was administered to
school children in some of the states
and by private physicians in others
to prevent diphtheria, whooping
cough and tetanus. It was not cer
tain how many youngsters had been
immunized with the serum.
The state involved were West
Virginia, Oklahoma, Colorado,
North Carolina, Washington,
Arizona, Virginia, Alabama,
Missouri, South Carolina and Kan
sas .
A spokesman for the national
Center for Disease Control in At
lanta said 24 cases of sterile absces
ses among children have been re
ported in six states. The abscesses
developed at points where the nee
dle entered the skin.

City buries time capsule
Fritl
\\ til
MILLBRAE, Calif. — The
people of this San Francisco
Peninsula city agreed burying a
time capsule was a good idea.
But it took them two years to de
cide what to put iu it.
The capsule was finally buried
Friday under a sidewalk plaque
at City Hall as city officials, civic
leaders and history huffs looked
on. They intend for it to be un
earthed in 2076.
City Councilman Art Lepore
explained the time capsule was
supposed to have been buried in
1976 as part of the bicentennial
celebration, but "capsule poli
tics intervened.
"We always seemed to have to
find more space in the capsule to
squeeze in someone else s idea of
what should be there, said Le
pore.
Among the artifacts BnalK in
cluded were city budgets, per
sonnel records, ordinances,

"We know that sterile abscesses
occur following vaccinations but
whether those 24 cases represent
something abnormal is what we
want to find out, said CDC
spokesman Don Berretb.
It is certainly not a lifethreaten-
ing situation. None of the cases re
quired hospitalization and there
were no complications, he sakL
“We want to know if the 24 repre

be.
Berretb said the CDC issued a
warning to halt the use of one batch
of the vaccine — 500,000 doses. The
serum was distributed by Selavo
Inc. of Wayne, N. J.
The 24 cases of illness were re
ported in Oklahoma, Colorado,
North Carolina, Washington,
