ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) —
Oien he gave authorities $4,700
cash he’d found in a Texas air-
jort, Donald Oberdorfer wasn’t
king for a reward, let alone
getting the whole amount back.
1 But get it back he did, after po
lice were unable to find the owner
of the money, which was in a plas
tic bag and in $ 100 bills.
I Oberdorfer, a Roseville resi
dent and director of the Ameri-
n Lutheran Church media serv
ices center in St. Paul, said
Tuesday, “I really wasn’t tempted
to keep it. People turn in money
all the time.”
Not according to officials of

ckage of money from Ober-
lorfer after he found it in their
Houston terminal in November
1985 while on a business trip.
■ “This is the first time it has
ever occurred,” said David Mes
sing, a spokesman for Continen
tal. “We get the regular assort
ment at our lost and found, like
briefcases. But never cash.”

Commander says guerillas
infiltrated Salvadoran base
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
(AP) — Guerrillas enlisted in the
army and infiltrated the El Paraiso
infantry base before the big attack
that killed 69 Salvadoran soldiers
and a U.S. military adviser, the base
commander said Wednesday.
The Green Beret U.S. army ser
geant killed was the first American
serviceman to die in battle in El Sal
vador’s 7-year-old civil war.
“There had to be someone who
infiltrated,” Col. Gilberto Rubio,
commander of the base, told report
ers.
He said the army had concrete
leads and was investigating the infil
tration of the 4th Infantry Brigade
garrison, which was attacked before
dawn Tuesday by guerrillas using
mortars; rocket-propelled grenades
and automatic weapons.
“I won’t say the number or
names” of the infiltrators, Rubio
said.
Another officer at the base Tues
day identified one of the dead guer
rillas as an infiltrator.
“He’s a recruit,” the officer said.
“We don’t have his name, but, he en
tered (the army) a short time ago
and was wearing shorts from the
Panther Battalion.” He refused to
be further identified.
Helicopter-borne troops and in
fantry soldiers combed the northern
mountains Wednesday for the at
tackers from the Farabundo Marti
National Liberation Front, an um
brella for five guerrilla organiza
tions fighting the U.S.-backed gov
ernment.
Soldiers in camouflage fatigues
cleaned up the charred debris
around the barracks at the base 37
miles north of San Salvador in Cha-
latenango province. Several build
ings had gaping holes in their walls
from mortars, grenades and explo
sives.
Nine rebels were killed in the as
sault, the armed forces said.
The body of Staff Sgt. Gregory A.
Fronius, 27, of Scottdale, Pa., was
flown Tuesday night to his base in
Panama. He had arrived in El Salva
dor on Jan. 6 for a six-month tour,
the U.S. Embassy said.
In Panama, U.S. Embassy spokes
man Bill Ormsbee said funeral serv
ices for Fronius, who was married
and the father of two children,
would be conducted Friday in Penn
sylvania.
Fronius was the only American at
the garrison at the time of the at
tack, the U.S. Embassy said. The
other military adviser assigned to
the base was in the capital.
The U.S. Congress has limited
the number of American military
advisers in El Salvador to 55. They
are prohibited from going into com
bat situations. However, they carry
small arms and are allowed to de
fend themselves if attacked.
The armed forces press office,
whose casualty counts usually are
low, reported 64 Salvadoran mili
tary deaths and 60 wounded in the
military hospital in San Salvador.
Soldiers at the base Tuesday put the
number of wounded at 104.
The guerrillas, in a broadcast on
their Radio Venceremos station
Wednesday, hailed the attack and
repeated that it is part of a new of
fensive. It said government forces
were “weaker and more demora
lized than ever.”
A Salvadoran military source told
the Associated Press he estimated
100 rebels participated in the attack.
A San Salvador radio station Tues
day morning reached a soldier at
the base by telephone, and he said
the attackers numbered as many as
800.
About 250 soldiers, out of about
1,600 normally assigned to the base,
were at the barracks when the rebels
struck at about 2 a.m., the armed
forces said. Most of troops were out
on patrol when the attack occurred.
The base was ringed by land
mines and barbed wire and other
wise fortified after a similar guer
rilla raid in 1983.

U.S. to consult with Japan on computer chips
■ WASHINGTON (AP) — The Reagan admin-
istiution, while standing fast to its plans for sanc
tions on Japanese electronics imports, has agreed
to a Japanese request for “emergency consulta
tions” in the intensifying dispute over computer
chips, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
HA team of Japanese trade specialists will arrive
in Washington on Friday for negotiations with
Stheir counterparts in the departments of State,
Commerce and office of U.S. trade representa
tive, the officials said.
HThe semiconductor talks, to get under way in
earnest on Monday, will he followed later in the
week with meetings in Washington among
higher-level trade officials of both nations, gov
ernment spokesmen said.
■However, U.S. officials held out little hope
thai the dispute over semiconductor pricing
practices could he resolved in time to avert the
proposed duties on $300 million in Japanese
products from taking effect on April 17.
Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige, who
has said there would be “no last-minute re
prieve,” will propose the sanctions be slapped on
for a three-month, “trial period,” Baldrige
spokesman B. Jay Cooper said.
Cooper said the three months would give the
United States time to monitor prices of Japanese
semiconductors — or computer chips — to see if
the alleged “dumping” that provoked the sanc-
tions has ceased.
“The promise to stop dumping alone wouldn’t
be enough,” Cooper said.
Dumping is a trade term that describes the de
liberate selling of products by one nation in other
markets at prices far below their true costs. U.S.
seminconductor manufacturers claim that Japa
nese dumping of computer chips is costing them
nearly $1 billion a year in lost sales.
The duties of up to 100 percent on a wide
range of Japanese electronics products were an
nounced last Friday by the Reagan administra
tion as retaliation for what it claimed was Japa
nese refusal to live up to a semiconductor
agreement negotiated last summer.
As part of that pact, Japan promised to stop
selling semiconductors in the United States and
other markets at bargain-basement prices, and to
give U.S. semiconductor makers more access to
U.S. markets.
The administration contends that Japan is
continuing to underprice semiconductors in
markets outside the United States and has re
fused to take steps to open Japanese markets to
U.S. sales in violation of the agreement.
In Tokyo, Noburo Hatakeyama, director gen
eral of the Japanese International Trade Admin
istration Bureau, said that the government would
meet with Japanese electronics companies to
urge them to buy more U.S. products — but
would not make major concessions in the semi
conductor area despite the announced U.S. sanc
tions.
Reagan: Stress morality in AIDS education
■PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan, in his first major
rspccc I: on the health crisis, said
wedncsditv that parents and local
schools must decide how to educate
children on the threat of AIDS but
also must stress morality and avoid a
“value neutral” approach.
He told reporters, however, he
doesn’t quarrel with calls for use of
preventive measures such as con
doms against the sexual transmission
of the disease.
■“All the vaccines and medications
in the world won’t change one basic
truth — that prevention is better
than cure,” Reagan told the Phila
delphia College of Physicians, one of
the nation’s oldest professional med
ical associations.
■"We’ve declared AIDS public
health enemy No. 1,” the president
said. And he pledged, “I’m deter
mined we’ll find a cure for AIDS . . .
we’U find a way or make one.”
Reagan said the federal role
amounted to giving “educators accu
rate information about the disease.”
But, supporting statements by Ed
ucation Secretary William Bennett,
he also said the dissemination of
such information “must be up to the
schools and the parents, not govern
ment.”
Until now, the administration’s
E rincipal spokesman on the issue has
een Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop. He has taken a more aggres
sive stance than Bennett, saying that
beyond abstinence, the surest pro
tection is the use of condoms and the
education of children as early as the
third grade.
But Reagan also told reporters
that “I don’t quarrel with” Koop’s
advice on prevention.

Asked earlier if people should
“just say no,” he replied, “That’s a
pretty good answer. Yes.” First lady
Nancy Reagan has used the slogan
“Just Say No” to help youngsters bat
tle drug abuse.
AIDS, or acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome, is a contagious, fa
tal disease that attacks the body’s im
mune system, rendering it incapable
of resisting other diseases and infec
tions. In most cases it is spread by
sexual contact, and health officials
estimate that between 1 million and
1.5 million Americans have been ex
posed to the virus.
As of March 23, actual AIDS had
been diagnosed in 33,158 Ameri
cans, of whom some 19,000 have
died since 1979.
While the president has spoken
on the AIDS issue before — request
ing Koop Feb. 5 to undertake a
study of the problem — he has been
largely silent on the issue of giving
advice to Americans on preventive
and protective measures.
In his speech, Reagan noted that
the Public Health Service has issued
an information and education plan
to help control the spread of the dis
ease, which has no known cure.
“But let’s be honest with our
selves,” the president continued.
“AIDS information cannot be what
some call ‘value neutral.’ After all,
when it comes to preventing AIDS,
don’t medicine and morality teach
the same lessons?”
Reagan spoke one day after en
dorsing AIDS education in schools
as long as it includes the teaching of
sexual abstinence — “if you say it’s
not how you do it but that you don’t
do it.”
