Somoza, whose fortune is believed to be as much as $500 million, left the Nicaraguan capital of Managua Tuesday for exile in the U.S. The State Department immediately issued a statement warning him he may not use his U.S. asylum to plot a return to power. “He cannot act to overthrow another government,” the statement said. “He is free to speak and travel. ” Nonetheless, Somoza said, “Ev ery citizen has the hope of returning to his home country. That is my con stitutional right.” On the other hand, he said, he intends to abide by the government’s stipulation that he remain out of the MANOR EAST 3 MANOR EAST ALL 823-8300 sunmgLois Chiles Michael Lonsdale., o* Richard Kiel- j*, «Corinne Clery Albert R.

We have other people playing the game and I am just a simple adviser.” Somoza, his son, Lt. Col. Anas tasio Somoza, and a group of several dozen congressmen, former minis ters and their families arrived at Homestead Air Force Base aboard five Nicaraguan Air Force planes shortly before 10 a.m. At a news conference and in sub sequent private interviews he said he did nothing wrong to lose his pres idency. “I didn’t go wrong. I was not thrown out by the Nicaraguan people,” he said. “Before I would sacrifice the people loyal to me and the government, I preferred a set tlement.” Somoza, who last month had vowed to become a guerrilla if he was overthrown, said he wished the new goverment under former Vice Presi dent Francisco Urcuyo Maliano well and believed the Sandinista rebels who forced his exile would be de feated. “Urcuyo is now the president of Nicaragua and he has the right to do what he wants,” Somoza said, adding he believed the Nicaraguan national guard can eventually win the war. “It can defeat them (the Sandinis- tas) and defeat the next-door neighbor (Costa Rica) who has been feeding them into Nicaragua,” he said.

Brown acknowledged the Soviets were modifying their existing fourth generation of missiles, which include the giant SS-18s, SS-17s and SS-19s.
