Salvadoran
leftists meet
with Carter
Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Former Presi
dent Jimmy Carter talked Wednes
day with Salvadoran leftist leaders
who said they found him sympa
thetic to their call for dialogue with
their country’s U.S.-supported gov
ernment.
“Human rights in El Salvador is a
question of dialogue,” said Guil
lermo Ungo, leader of the Demo
cratic Revolutionary Front. “Carter
asked for the meeting with us and he
has said he favors the dialogue.”
The front is the political ally of
the Farabundi Marti National Liber
ation Front, known by its Spanish
initials as the FMLN, an umbrella
group for President Jose Napoleon
Duarte.
About 60,000 people, a majority
of them civilians, have been killed in
the fighting.
Ungo, during a news conference,
said the 50-minute private talk with
Carter included an exchange of
views on U.S. policies in Central
America.
“We found him very well-in
formed, interested and with a realis
tic spirit,” Ungo said.
The leftists have been pushing for
renewed talks with the Duarte gov
ernment, last held in November
1984.
In those meetings, the left has in
sisted on a power-sharing arrange
ment, a step unacceptable to the
Duarte government.
Carter, who arrived here Tues
day, told journalists earlier in El Sal
vador that he found human rights
violations in that country.
“There are still some very serious
violations of human rights in El Sal
vador, from the remaining death
squads that are operating to long im
prisonment of people without trial,”
he said.
“There are some allegations — I
have no proof of this — that there
has been indiscriminate bombing
that has killed or injured innocent ci
vilians,” he said. “But I think it’s ob
vious there has been great progress
in El Salvador on the human rights
question in recent months.”
The former U.S. president on
Wednesday also met with President"
Miguel de la Madrid and separately
with representatives of Mexico’s
nine political parties. "
The government news agency No-
timex said he spoke about the for
eign debt, saying that creditors
should be more prudent.
Mexico holds an external debt of
$96.4 billion, second only to Brazil in
the developing world.
Tuesday Carter announced that
the Carter Center in Atlanta would
host a conference on Latin Ameri
can foreign debt and its impacts in
April.
The former president also visited
Venezuela, Costa Rica and Nicara
gua on a fact-finding tour.
He is writing a book about Latin
America.

to helping plot the death of Wood,

for the stiff sentences he gave drug
dealers.
ions
Jimmy Chagra is serving concur
rent 47-year and life sentences in
connection with Wood’s death and
the attempted assassination of for
mer U.S. Attorney James Kerr.
Mrs. Chagra, 31, was convicted in
1982 of conspiracy in Wood’s slay
ing, but an appeals court overturned
the verdict because of improper jury
instructions. She is scheduled to tes
tify later.
Joe Chagra, 31, testifying for the
state under protest, testified Tues
day he twice advised Jimmy Chagra,
as his brother and attorney, to go
ahead with plans to have Wood
killed.
He said he considered Wood an
unfair judge who gave stiff sen
tences.
On cross examination Wednesday
by defense attorney Warren Bur
nett, Joe Chagra said he, Jimmy and
a third brother, Lee — who was
murdered in 1980 in El Paso — fre
quently discussed Jimmy’s drug
smuggling operations in Florida that
later brought on an FBI investiga
tion.
“Liz had nothing to do with Jim
my’s smuggling operations,” he testi
fied.
He said Mrs. Chagra never at
tended any of their meetings in Flor
ida or in Las Vegas, and that to the
best of his knowledge was never
asked for advice.
Joe Chagra was asked if Mrs. Cha
gra knew about conversations be
tween him and Jimmy Chagra about
the possible slaying of Wood.
“She was never told of those con
versations,” Joe Chagra said.
Mrs. Chagra’s trial is expected to
last up to four weeks.
