All Day • All Night • All Hours Exclusively at Bryan/College Station Turn WASHINGTON (AP) — Con gressional Democrats and Republi cans, in the wake of the collapse of the Contadora peace talks, argued anew Tuesday over the wisdom of sending $100 million to Nicaraguan rebels. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and President Reagan’s chief spokes man, Larry Speakes, said it was clear the Sandinistas had sabotaged the talks in Panama City, Panama, and that the collapse is a good omen for the aid package scheduled for a sec ond House vote on April 15. The administration blamed the failure of the Contadora talks on “in transigence” by Nicaragua’s Sandi- nista government. Several congressional Democrats, while reluctant to say whether the breakdown of the talks would help the administration’s chances of win ning House approval of the aid package, urged that greater diplo matic efforts be made and insisted that the leaders of Latin American nations oppose the aid program. Dole, R-Kan., said, “Some of the Democrats will no longer be able to hide behind the Contadora process as the Nicaraguans (have) torpedoed that.” Dole noted that many opponents of the aid package have said there should be no military aid until all diplomatic methods of reaching a settlement have been exhausted. But House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., returning from a visit to four Latin American democracies, said their leaders “remain com mitted to the negotiation process, rather than further military escala tion.” Three House Democrats who op pose the Contra aid plan said their just-concluded mission as observers to the peace talks left them con vinced that Latin American nations do not support U.S. military assis tance to the Nicaraguan counterre volutionaries. “Literally everyone we spoke to, without exception, was clear, strong and unambiguous in his disapproval of the United States support for the Contras” because they thought it would “just make this worse,” said Rep. Michael Barnes, D-Md., chair man of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Latin America. Later, Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams, appearing before the Barnes subcommittee, strongly un derscored the administration’s view that the incursion of Sandinista troops into Honduras late last month was serious. But he drew exclamations of in credulity from some Democrats when he contended that, if anything, the administration had underplayed the seriousness of the incursion.

Over 50 little leaguers attended A&M’s “Little League Night” where a mini-clinic was held between the Aggies’ double-header against Dallas Baptist University. A&M won the first game 8-7 but lost the second 5-2. (continued from page 1) summit but added that “both sides want substantive results.” Shultz suggested there was little possibility for a summit agreement on controlling inter-continental bal listics missiles or on Reagan’s strate gic defense initiative, frequently called “Star Wars.” He added, however, that there has been “some movement” on reaching agreement on controlling intermediate range missiles. The ad ministration has indicated that the intermediate range missile issue of fers the best promise for an early agreement. U.S. officials have said Reagan is reluctant to agree to a summit be tween August and the first week of November because of vacation plans and the fall congressional election campaign. Oil futures prices plunge, close at $12.47 per barrel While not ruling out a post-elec tion sumtnit, the officials said they believe a summit before August is possible despite the relatively short time the two sides would have for planning after Shevardnadze’s visit. Dobrynin’s visit, in addition to re viewing the status of the Gorbachev summit, also was a farewell call. The envoy recently was elevated to the Communist Party secretariat and will return to Moscow in a few days. NEW YORK (AP) — The roller coaster oil futures market took a dive Tuesday, plunging nearly $2 a barrel just one day after posting a $1.59 gain.
