U.S. military adviser, 43 soldiers
killed in base raid in El Salvadoi
EL PARAISO, El Salvador (AP) — Guerrillas
raided a major army base before dawn Tuesday,
killing at least 43 soldiers and a U.S. military ad
viser, the first to die during battle in the 7-year-
old civil war.
El Salvador’s military commander said the
American, identified as Staff Sgt. Gregory A.
Fronius, 27, of Greensburg, Pa., was killed by
mortar fire near a command post.
The military said 35 soldiers were wounded by
leftist rebels who assaulted the base behind a bar
rage of cannon, mortar and grenade fire. Base
commander Col. Gilbert© Rubio, who was
slightly wounded, said the number of attackers
had not been determined.
Officials said seven guerrillas died in the attack
on the 4th Infantry Brigade garrison at El Par-
aiso in Chalatenango province, a rebel strong
hold, and some penetrated the camp. El Paraiso
is nearly 40 miles north of San Salvador, capital
of this Central American country.
Gen. Adolfo Blandon, chief of the armed
forces, said, “Because of the seriousness of the in
juries, the number of dead (soldiers) may in
crease.” He visited the base to assess the situation.
Soldiers on the scene estimated government
casualties at about 65 dead and more than 100
wounded.
According to U.S. policy, American advisers
do not participate in offensive military action or
enter areas where combat is occurring or likely,
but may visit “carefully selected and secure sites”
such as garrisons. They are armed and may re
spond if fired upon.
The United States has a self-imposed ceiling of
55 on the number of advisers serving in El Salva
dor at one time, but sometimes fewer are on
duty.
Tuesday’s rebel attack was the largest:;
June 1986 guerrilla assault on thearmyl
San Miguel, 86 miles east of San Salvador^
military said 50 soldiers were killed or woi
there, but the rebels claimed a totalof250
U.S. Embassy spokesman Pen Agjiewsai(li|
nius was training Salvadoran troopsatt
also garrison.
Blandon said the rebels began firingi
grenade launchers and a 90mm cannonai2J
aiming at the command post, barracks ancj
cers’ mess. He said 250 soldiers wereatthtit
Most of the dead and wounded were:
barracks and “there may have been in
because some of the bodies of the terrorisisi
found inside the barracks,” Blandon said
The command post, a barracks and ano
mess were destroyed and other buildings:
aged. Reporters saw at least three destroyecl
tary vehicles.
Japanese official says retaliation
possible if U.S. imposes penalties
TOKYO (AP) — Anti-American
sentiment among Japanese citizens
will grow if the United States goes
ahead with penalty duties on up to
$300 million worth of Japanese elec
tronic goods, a senior government
official said Tuesday.
“The atmosphere in Japan against
the Americans would become — not
so good,” said Noburo Hatakeyama,
director general of the International
Trade Administration Bureau.
“They would think the United
States is emotional and illogical,” he
said.
Hatakeyama repeated warnings
from other Japanese officials that Ja
pan would consider retaliation if its
negotiators cannot dissuade the
United States from going ahead with
the penalty duties. But he did not of
fer any details on what form the re
taliation might take.
“We might get tough,” he told a
group of foreign journalists. "What
is important is to ask them to with
draw the duties and ask them to un
derstand the true situation. And we
can retaliate after that if necessary.”
Although Japan is striving to cut
its huge trade surplus, it cannot
make any concessions on semicon
ductor trade to fend off the planned
U.S. penalty duties because it is
doing nothing wrong, Hatakeyama
said.
“If we offer any concessions, then
that suggests we acknowledge hav
ing violated the agreement,” he said.
“But in this case we’ve done nothing
wrong, so there is nothing we can
concede.”
The Reagan administration said
last week it plans to impose prohib
itive tariffs on a range of Japanese
electronic goods in mid-April to
force Japan into compliance with an
accord on semiconductors.
Japan agreed last year to open its
home market to U.S.-made chips
and to avoid selling its chips in for
eign markets at unfair low prices.
Trade concerns caused in part by
the semiconductor dispute caused
the dollar to keep sinking Tuesday
in Tokyo to another low. The dollar
closed at 145.65 yen, down from
Monday’s close of 146.20 yen, which
had been its lowest point since mod
ern exchange rates were set in the
late 1940s.
The steep fall of the dollar, al
though it should help shrink trade
imbalances, has raisea fears of reces
sion in Japan and inflation and
higher interest rates in the United
States.
Prices on the Tokyo stock market
dipped again Tuesday in reaction to
dollar jitters.
Hatakeyama said the duties on
electronic products, scheduled to
take effect in two weeks, would have
minimal financial impact, but “the
psychological impact would be very
big.”

Kidnappers report hostage’s health
deteriorating rapidly, demand swap
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Mos
lem kidnappers said Tuesday that
the health of hostage Alann Steen
was “deteriorating day by day” and
renewed a demand to swap him, two
other Americans and an Indian for
400 Arabs in Israeli jails.
“Steen’s death will not alter the
demand for the release of 400 pris
oners,” the Islamic Jihad for the Lib
eration of Palestine said in a hand
written Arabic statement delivered
to the offices of the Beirut indepen
dent newspaper An-Nahar.
The statement, accompanied by a
photograph of U.S. hostage Jesse
Turner, said the captives “have been
committed for investigation into
their crimes.”
“All indications suggest that we
shall reckon with them and punish
them as long as the American ad
ministration and the Zionist enemy
are not responsive,” it said.
The statement said the health of
Steen, 47, of Boston was “deteriorat
ing day by day despite continuous
medication.”
The group had released a video
taped message last Thursday in
which Turner said Steen had diffi
culty in breathing and was dying be
cause of high blood pressure.
On March 23, Islamic Jihad said
Steen had fallen ill in captivity and
would die within 10 days. In that
statement, however, the group of-
ferred to free him if Israel releases
100 Arab prisoners.
The group demanded the release
of 400 Arab prisoners on Jan. 24,
when gunmen disguised as Lebanese
riot policemen abducted the four ed
ucators from the campus of Beirut
University College.
But two weeks later it withdrew
the offer, claiming U.S. and Israeli
procrastination.
Israel had announced it would not
negotiate the swap and the W
administration said it wirfp

statements by the shadowy
Reagan optimistic about economic gauge:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
government’s main gauge of future
economic activity rose 0.7 percent in
February, prompting renewed opti
mism from the Reagan administra
tion about economic prospects later
this year.
However, many private econo
mists said the Index of Leading In
dicators was overstating economic
strength. They said the long-awaited
rebound in growth will be a modest
one at best.
The 0.7 percent rise in the index
in February followed a revised 0.5
percent January decline and was the
best showing since a 2.4 percent
surge in December.
At the White House, presidential
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the
February gain was a good sign that
the economy “appears to be back on
track after a brief pause the first
month of the year.”
Commerce Secretary Malcolm
Baldrige said the index has risen at a
robust annual rate of 8 percent over
the
faster
the past six months, supporting
administration’s hopes for fa
growth this year.
“Based on past relationships, that
gain is consistent with stepped-up
growth in real gross national prod
uct during the first half of 1987,”
Baldrige said.
In another economic report re
leased Tuesday, the Commerce De
partment said that orders
factories for manufactured®
Ixxisted by a surge in dee®'
military hardware, rose 4.3|
in February, the best showing'
months.
The increase put February*
at $ 194.6 billion.
Economists said the ordt®
vance and the jump in the^
index were both signs theec®
will continue growing thisyeat
