MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
President Corazon Aquino sent Cab
inet ministers to join 15,000 protes
ters marching on the presidential
palace Monday, defusing some of
the wrath over last week’s shootings
and proving her control over the
military.
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.

U.S. charges prisoner
with threat to Reagan
HOLLAND, Mich. (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. As
sistant U.S. Attorney Robert Berg
told the Grand Rapids Press.

Federal officials charge that
Quintero, while lodged in the
Nueces County Jail in Corpus
Christi, conspired with another in
mate on a threatening letter to Rea
gan, Berg said.
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

Basra, Iraq’s second largest city with
1 million people.
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.
