The guerrillas are demanding a
$20 million ransom for the return of
Dunn, who was abducted Nov. 28 by
about 20 youths as he left the
embassy.
In the country’s continuing wave
of political violence, authorities and
witnesses said 23 more people were
killed.
Among the most recent victims
were two leaders of another leftist
group, the Popular Revolutionary
Bloc, who were shot to death when
soldiers ended a store takeover in the
town of Aguilares, 24 miles north of
the capital.
They said another eight peasants
were shot to death in Aguilares dur
ing a search for guerrillas by govern
ment troops and that six peasants
were shot and killed during sweeps
by troops in four northern towns.

ped off children’s earrings as they left
the communist island nation.
Gilberto Puig, 31, said Cuban
policemen and supporters of Presi
dent Fidel Castro insulted him and
the other refugees as they arrived at
Havana’s Jose Marti Airport to board
the flight that would take them to
San Jose.
“They robbed the earrings from
kids and stole our watches and took
all our suitcases. They are the
thieves, not us,” he said, referring to
Cuban charges the refugees are not
political exiles but common cri
minals.
On Wednesday the two airliners
shuttled 250 Cuban refugees to San
Jose in the first leg of the effort to
evacuate the 10,800 persons jammed
into the Peruvian embassy in Havana
for the past two weeks.
In another development, the head
of the Costa Rican National Detec
tive Bureau said an assassination plot
against President Rodrigo Carazo
had been uncovered but a presiden
tial aide refused to confirm or deny
the claim.
The report of the alleged assassi
nation plot came as Carazo, attend

The exiled shah, 60, underwent
surgery for the removal of his cancer-
infected spleen March 28 at the
Maadi armed forces hospital, soiith
of Cairo.
He was moved to the Kubbeh
Palace April 9. Doctors at the time
said he had recovered fully from the
operation and pronounced his condi
tion as “very good.”
Sources said the shah, behind the
high and heavily-guarded walls of
Kubbeh, was receiving chemical
treatment for the lymphatic cancer
that has spread to his liver.
The visit to Sadat was the first
known time the shah had left the
palace, and indicated his health was
improving.
United Press International
MOSCOW—The Afghan govern
ment called Thursday for talks with
Iran and Pakistan on a reduction of
armed forces in the region and inter
national guarantees for security of
each country, the Soviet Tass news
agency reported.
The proposal calls for talks “with
out preliminary conditions,” Tass
said.
Tass said the offers were made in a
set of theses issued by the Central
Committee of the Peoples Democra
tic party of Afghanistan.
The proposals could mark the first
opening moves to resolve the Afghan
crisis that has developed into a su
perpower confrontation between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
The proposals called for:
— Bilateral talks with Iran and
Pakistan on questions of normalizing
relations.
— Discussions on “lowering the
level of military spending, reduction
of armaments and armed forces with
appropriate international guarantees
of security. ”
— Talks on reducing tension and
ill will in the activities of mass infor
mation media.
— Holding consultations between
countries of the Indian Ocean zone
and the Persian Gulf area concerning
resumption of talks on making the
Persian Gulf a zone of peace.
Tass, in the dispatch from Kabul,
said the proposals were made “for
ensuring a lasting democratic peace
and reliable security for the peoples
of Afghanistan and this region and
Asia as a whole.”
The Afghan government in the
past has suggested talks to patch up
differences with its neighbors, but
the latest proposals were the most
specific and far-reaching proposals to
date.
The proposal involving interna
tional guarantees of security fol
lowed a suggestion by British Fore
ign Secretary Lord Carrington that
Afghanistan should be made a neut
ral country whose security would be
guaranteed by international agree
ment. The Soviets rejected the Car
rington plan as unacceptable.
The Afghan government proposal
did not include the key word
“neutral.”
