Aquino lifted barricades around Malacanang Palace and kept soldiers away to allow students, workers and peasants to march to condemn the killings of 12 leftist protesters by ma rines last Thursday. She dispatched at least eight of her ministers to lock arms with dem onstrators Monday and lead them peacefully to the palace gates. Her action softened the anger of both left- and right-wing groups, who said her administration could not control the military and was re sponsible for a street clash bloodier than any during the 20-year Marcos era. Officials said Aquino, who took office 11 months ago when a “people power” revolution sent President Ferdinand E. Marcos fleeing into Hawaiian exile, wanted to show her sympathy with the demonstrators. “You see, all the senior officials of this government are here to make a point, that this government is com mitted to peace!” Dodie Limaoco, manager of the government tele vision station, shouted to the crowd through a bullhorn. The rally began in the early af ternoon. About 10,000 members of labor, church, urban poor, left-wing and other groups streamed from five directions to converge on a lot behind the statue of national hero Andres Bonafacio. Organizers accused Aquino of abandoning her pledge to give priority to helping society’s down trodden. They demanded the resig nations of top military and police of ficers, whom they blamed for last week’s killings during a demonstra tion for land reform. A presidential commission began its investigation Monday. Thousands of spectators lined the street Monday or peered from shops and roofs as demonstrators linked hands together and walked the same route as the one taken last Thurs day. Office workers showered march ers with yellow confetti when they reached Mendiola Bridge. It was there that 12 demonstrators out of a group of 10,000 were gunned down last week while trying to break through police cordons. The palace is about 300 yards south of the bridge. The marchers were joined at the bridge by about 5,000 supporters. The protesters were to have turned off Mendiola Street, but as they began to cross the bridge. Agri culture Minister Ramon Mitra shouted, “You’re marching through, you’re marching through!” Smiling widely, he and other ministers linked arms with the demonstrators and led them to the palace gates. A force of about 600 riot police and 1,000 combat troops in full bat tle dress withdrew, leaving only a few flretrucks manned by police armed with shields and sticks. Troops had been put on “red alert” in case of trouble. The protesters filed along the pal ace gates, some chanting “Cory, Cory!” Others shouted, “Mendiola massacrer!” They sang patriotic songs. As night fell, they dispersed qui etly. ..

(AP) — A Holland man who claims to have killed 12 people in five states has been charged with making a death threat against President Reagan, Texas authorities say. Raymond Quintero, 23, was moved Jan. 15 from a jail in Corpus Christi, Texas, to a federal prison in Springfield, Mo., where he is to receive a psychiatric evaluation.

The letter read: “Ronald Rea gan: You got me so mad that I could kill you. We are already mak ing plans for your assassination,” the Press reported in its Monday editions. Berg said the letter was written July 28 and mailed to a U.S. Secret Service office. Quintero was indicted Oct. 3 and arraigned Nov. 4 on charges of con spiring to kill the president, which is punishable by up to life in prison. A psychiatric evaluation is to de termine if he is mentally fit to stand trial. “If he is insane, he can be incar cerated until he is sane,” Berg told the Press. Quintero was in jail pending trial on a murder charge in the 1985 shooting death of Timothy May nard of Brownsville, Texas. Quintero has told authorities that he killed 12 people in Califor nia, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico and Georgia during the several years he spent hitchhiking across the country. In April, authorities in Texas failed to find bodies in two locations near Corpus Christi where Quin tero had claimed to have buried vic tims. Authorities in Nevada say they have enough evidence to charge Quintero with a 1981 slaying in that state. Quintero also faces an assault charge in Ottawa County. He pleaded guilty March 28 to attack ing a Holland woman, then was turned over to Texas authorities af ter he confessed to the slayings. Berg said local authorities in Corpus Christi don’t believe they have a strong case against Quintero in the Maynard slaying. Ottawa County Sheriff Robert Dykstra said he would contact au thorities in Texas to determine if Quintero can be extradited to Michigan if they are unable to pros ecute Quintero in Texas.

Iran reports leaving 3,000 dead, hurt in push to Iraq NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Iran said its troops turned a battle area “into a graveyard for the Iraqi forces” Monday, killing or wounding 3,000 of the foe in a push that brought Iran closer to the southern Iraqi port city of Basra. Iraq retorted that Iran had not ad vanced “even a single inch” and said the Iranians were retreating. It claimed Iran suffered 2,000 casual ties in the overnight fighting and conceded only 30 casualties among its men. The rival claims coincided with the opening of a pan-Islamic summit in Kuwait, at which Kuwait’s ruler, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, ap pealed to Iran and Iraq to end the war. “God beckons us to mediate and reconcile them,” he said. The Tehran government claimed that Iraq launched a counteroffen sive to coincide with the conference of 43 Islamic countries in neighbor ing Kuwait but that the attack was defeated. The summit of the Organization of Islamic Conference was boycotted by Iran, which accused Kuwait of supporting Iraq in the war and called it an unsafe venue. In Washington on Monday, the State Department said Iraqi forces had not attempted a counteroffen sive. A State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Iranian troops were keeping up a severe artillery barrage against SPECIALS Regular Tacos Regular Burritos Regular Chalupas B < 107 Dominik • 3312 S.

The Iranian and Iraqi battle claims were monitored in Nicosia. The two Persian Gulf neighbors have been at war since September 1980. Iran launched its big ground of fensive toward Basra on Jan. 9, say ing it was out to destroy Iraq’s “war machine.” An Iranian communique quoted by Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency said Iranian forces seized new positions overnight west of the Jasim River, six miles from Basra. IRNA located the newly cap tured positions as west of Fish Lake along the Dual Canal and west of the Jasim in Shalamcheh region. IRNA said the Iranians late Sun day and early Monday turned the area “into a graveyard for the Iraqi forces and a dump for Iraqi muni tions.” The state-run Iraqi News Agency quoted an unidentified military spokesman in Baghdad as saying Iran’s drive was stopped cold, with the Iranians sent back into retreat. “Iraqi forces imposed full control on the situation as Iraqi artillery and helicopter gunships pounded the enemy with intensive fire for the fi nal and radical crushing of its troops,” INA said. For the first time since Jan. 9, Iraq did not report any air raids on Ira nian cities Monday, although raids were reported Sunday night.
