Haig said Castaneda had made a number of proposals to meet the United States’ greatest objection to the plan — its fai lure to grapple with the problem of Nicaragua’s reported arms shipments to the Salvadoran guerrillas. The secretary of state said he would study these proposals and meet again with Castaneda in New York City next weekend. “We had a very valuable and constructive exchange,” he said. “Modifications were discussed that offer some hope for prog ress.” Castaneda said he and Haig worked through a system of tradeoffs — an exchange of mutual concessions — on the THE 6TH ANNUAL TEXAS A&M QUARTER, HALF AND FULL MARATHON ■ MARATHON (ALL EVENTS CONDUCTED ENTIRELY ON THE TEXAS A&M EAST AND WEST CAMPUSES) DATE: Saturday, March 27, 1982 STARTING LINE/TIME: G.

He said he thought the matter would be settled in exchange for something else. The Mexican foreign minis ter said Haig did not show evi dence that Nicaragua and Cuba were sending more than a small and unimportant amount of arms to the rebels. But Haig said it was too early to say whether the United States would adopt the Mexican plan, first proposed by President Jose Lopez Portillo while on a visit to Nicaragua Feb. 21. Lopez Portillo urged both sides in the El Salvador conflict to begin negotiations without preconditions. He said his gov ernment would be willing to act as an intermediary to end fric tion between the United States, Cuba and Nicaragua. Guerrilla forces in El Salva dor said they accepted the plan, but the civilian-militaryjunta led by President Jose Napoleon Duarte has not responded for mally and the United States has reacted coolly. On Thursday, 106 members of the House of Representatives endorsed the proposal in a letter to President Reagan, saying it offered new hope for a middle ground and political conciliation in El Salvador. Earlier, the House voted 396- 3 for a non-binding resolution that urged Reagan to press for “unconditional discussions among the major political fac tions in El Salvador in order to guarantee a safe and stable en vironment for free and open democratic elections.” On Feb. 23, on the eve of his policy statement on the Carib bean to the Organization of American States, Reagan thank ed Lopez Portillo for the prop osal and suggested their two foreign secretaries hold further talks. In his address to the 0AS, however, Reagan did not refer to the Mexican plan. The United States has sup ported El Salvador’s constituent assembly elections as a start to ward resolving the conflict. The elections, set for March 28, are being boycotted by the guerrillas as a fraud. Castaneda flew to New York from Mexico City on Fridat night. A spokesman said he will attend the start of a two-month United Nations Law of the.Ses conference on Monday. Jobless in Pennsylvania seek work, can’t get it United Press International PHILADELPHIA — Mana ger Karen Rotondo gazed at the 300 people lined up to apply for 20 minimum wage jobs at her shoe store. “Unbelievable,” she said. But on a day when the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics re leased unemployment figures for February showing Pennsyl vania with a 10.3 percent rate, compared with a national rate of 8.8 percent, the long line was not surprising. “It’s hard, and Reagan isn’t helping any,” said Barbara Rusk, 17, among those waiting Friday for an interview at the Fayva Family Shoes store set to open downtown next weekend. Rusk, who worked briefly as a counselor at a Salvation Army branch office last summer and has been unemployed ever since, said Fayva was one of sev eral companies to which she had applied in the last eight months. “They take your application and tell you they’ll call,” she said. “I’ve been waiting eight months and no phone galls. There are no jobs out here.” Allen Martin, the shoe store chain’s district manager, said all but about six of the 20 jobs would be temporary and pay the federal minimum wage of $3.35 an hour. “It’s a total mix of all ages and MEAT SALE DEPT.
