Sources close to the FMLN-

would meet Tuesday with guer
rilla leader Guillermo Ungo and
Jose Morales Ehrlich, a leading
Christian Democrat and a for
mer member of the U.S.-backed
junta that ruled El Salvador un
til the March 1982 elections.
In Bogota, Colombia, Fran
cisco Quinonez and Bishop Mar
co Rene Revelo, of the Salvador
an government’s Peace Commis
sion, met for two hours Monday
with Oscar Bonilla and Carlos
Molina, representatives of the
guerrilla front, in the first face-
to-face encounter between the
two groups.
Following their talks in the
office of Colombian President
Belisario Betancur, the four
men met with journalists, but
declined to make any state
ments.
In San Salvador, Roberto
D’Aubuisson, president of the
Constituent Assembly and head
of the extreme rightist National
ist Republican Alliance party,
sharply criticized the left for
sending what appeared to be
third-level representatives to the
meeting in Colombia.
“What they want is to mount a
show and they don’t believe
either in the democratic sys
tem,” said D’Aubuisson.
In Honduras, Defense Minis
ter Col. Amilcar Castillo Suazo
said there is a possibility that the
region will re-activate the nearly
defunct Central American De
fense Council in order to “stand
up to communism.”
El Salvador, Guatemala, Hon
duras and Nicaragua, with
Panama as an observer, estab
lished the defense council in the
1950s, but the organization fell
apart after the 1969 “ 100 hours”
war between Honduras and El
Salvador.

The ad campaign was spon
sored by the Honduras Ministry
of Tourism. But after three
weeks, the promise of romantic
bungalows overlooking un
crowded beaches has enticed
only one booking on the four
day vacation tour.
“We had a ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ who
signed up out of New Orelans,”
said John Stengele, national
sales manager for Caribbean
Holidays travel agency in New
York, handling the booking
arrangements. “Other than that,
we’ve had a lot of inquiries.”
Some Houston travel agents
expressed concern over anyone
trying to promote tourism in
Honduras, where there are bor
der skirmishes with neighboring
Nicaragua and camps for re
fugees from the civil war in El
Salvador are located.
Stengel said although Hon
duras may not now be a popular
destination, plans for the ad
campaign were prepared by the
Honduras government last year
befre problems escalated. He
said the government does not
expect the tourist campaign to
be a success for two or three
more years, or until after volatile
Central American politics sta
bilize.

While Egyptian leaders
would not publicly state a pre

known to have a strong dislike

Shamir — a strong contender
for Begin’s post.
Egypt may look more favor
ably on a new role in the Israeli
government for Ezer Weizman,
the former defense minister
who visited Cairo last week and
met privately with Mubarak.
That Mubarak met with Weiz
man at all was significant in light
of the strain in Egyptian-Israeli
relations caused by the invasion
of Lebanon and Israel’s settle
ments policy on the West Bank.
Egypt recalled its ambassador
to Tel Aviv last year to protest
the invasion and the treatment
of Palestinians living in Israeli-
occupied areas. Egyptian offi
cials said it was unlikely the
ambassador would soon return.

U.S. carrier sent
to Lebanon coast
United Press International
BEIRUT — A U.S. aircraft
carrier was ordered to the coast
of Lebanon in a show of force
Tuesday and a French soldier
was killed iri an ambush on the
third day of factional warfare in
Beirut.
The nuclear-powered USS
Eisenhower steamed to within
sight of the Beirut waterfront
one day after two U.S. Marines
were killed and 14 others
wounded in fighting that en
gulfed the capital Monday.
“We want to bring it out so
everyone can see it,” Marine
spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan
said. “We don’t want anyone to
be fooled as to our capabilities.”
Robert Pugh, the deputy
chief of mission at the U.S.
Embassy, said the Eisenhower
was coming to the Beirut waters
“as a show of support in view of
what happened to the Marines
yesterday.”
Masked Shiite gunmen
fought government troops in
the streets of West Beirut again
Tuesday and Beirut reports said
French and British peacekeep
ing units came under attack.
One French Legionnaire was
killed and two others wounded
in an ambush on a French unit in
West Beirut, the reports said.
Details of the attacks on the
peacekeepers were sketchy, but
a spokesman for the 2,000-man
French contingent said
assailants fired a “projectile” at a
French unit.
A Lebanese soldier was killed
in the new clashes, bringing to
38 the number of people re
ported killed, including 15
Lebanese army soldiers. More
than 130 others were wounded
in the three days.
The fighting between the
Amal, a Shiite Moslem militia,
and government troops re
sumed with sniper fire and in
termittent explosions that para
lyzed Beirut’s southern suburbs
and made crossing between east
and west Beirut hazardous.
However, there were no re
ports of incidents involving the
Marines.
“It’s quiet around our posi
tions since last night,” said a
spokesman for the 1,200-
Marine peace-keeping contin
gent, which maintains a base at
the Beirut airport south of the
city.
“We’re still under condition
four,” he said. “This means our
men are out of the foxholes and
altogether more relaxed.”
With the escalating violence, a
Marine spokesman said the
Eisenhower, which had been on
duty in the Mediterranean, was
ordered to Lebanese waters and
to stand 3-5 miles offshore —
visible to those on land.
Jordan said Air Force jets on
the air craft carrier were ready
for possible action during Mon
day’s bombardment of Marines
positions.
“The aircraft were standing
by aboard the Eisenhower and
were ready to respond if our sal
vo did not repress the fire. We
were ready to defend ourselves
to the degree necessary,” he
said.
The Pentagon identified the
Marines dead as 2nd Lt. Donald
Losey, 28, of Winston Salem,
N.C., and Staff Sgt. Alexander
M. Ortega, 25, of Rochester,
N. Y.
The incident sparked a flurry
of activity. A crisis management
team of the Reagan Cabinet was
ordered to the White House to
consider the growing violence.
In Santa Barbara, Calif., de
puty press secretary Larry
Speakes stressed President
Reagan’s intention to keep the
Marines in Lebanon. But several
members of Congress called for
the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
