His comments came after the Sandinista government released seven opposition leaders Monday and he promised over the week end to restore civil liberties. The Interior Ministry said the seven, arrested over the weekend, had been accused of plotting actions with the Contra rebels. Ortega, in a rally in Ciudad Da rio, 56 miles northeast of the cap ital, said approval of more U.S. aid to the rebels “would give the Nicaraguan government a free hand to take the necessary mea sures to defend the sovereignty, self-determination and indepen dence of our country.” He did not provide details, but said more aid would be “a historic error by the United States and the American Congress.” In Washington, an official said Ortega’s promise last weekend to hold direct talks with the Contras was aimed at influencing the U.S. congressional vote expected in February. Workfarms exploit children in Russia MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet prosecutor’s office says criminal exploitation of children perform ing menial labor on state farms kills hundreds of students and cripples thousands more each year. A report on the rare protest by the nation’s top law enforcement agency was disclosed in an article written by a correspondent for the official Tass news agency for Tuesday’s edition of the national labor newspaper Trud. The prosecutor’s office com plained that children as young as 10 are brought into farm labor collectives where they put in 12 hours a day. The report referred to the case of a fourth-grade boy in the far east Primorsky region who fell asleep in a bunker and was buried alive in grain. It also reported that about 100 students at a trade school con tracted dysentery from peeling potatoes in unsanitary conditions. Americans immigrate to Soviet Union MOSCOW (AP) — An Ameri can couple who came to Moscow as tourists have been granted po litical asylum after choosing life in the Soviet Union as an “alter native to capitalism,” an official said Tuesday. Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennady I. Gerasimov identified the Americans as Theodore Branch, 43, and Cheryl Branch, 40, and said they were “experts in the field of mass communica tions” from Pennsylvania. They arrived in Moscow last month, “declared their unwilling ness to return to the United States and asked for permission to live here as immigrants,” Gera simov told reporters at a govern ment news briefing. Gerasimov said the Branches wrote the Presidium that “in the Soviet Union, priority is given to law and order, legislation pro vides etjual opportunities and possibilities for all, which is an al ternative to capitalism.” He said the couple would be given jobs in their field of exper tise. ‘Butcher of the Balkans,’ dead at 88 BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Andrija Artukovic, who was extradited from the United States and convicted of ordering thou sands of prisoners killed in World War II, has died in jail at the age of 88, it was reported Monday. Known as the “Butcher of the Balkans,” Artukovic had been sentenced to death by firing squad in May 1986, but his execu tion had been postponed indefi nitely because of his ill health. The official news agency, Tan- jug, reported that he died Satur day in the jail hospital in the Croatian capital of Zagreb but did not give a cause of death. Artukovic had been suffering from general and cerebral sclero sis and temporary senility, Tan- jug said. In postponing his execution in August, the Zagreb court said a medical team had found Artu kovic suffered from arteriosclero sis, cardiovascular disease, senility and other ailments. Yugoslav law does not permit execution if the convict is ill. Genes may predict heart disease risks NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An estimated one in three Americans inherits a newly recognized form of cholesterol that is linked with triple the usual risk of heart dis ease, according to research re leased Tuesday. “We have identified a new ge netic trait that may predispose to heart disease risk,” said Dr. Ron ald M. Krauss of the University of California at Berkeley. Although Krauss has not pin pointed the gene that’s responsi ble, he said its hallmark in the bloodstream is a substance called dense LDL. About one-third of the popula tion has relatively large amounts of dense LDL, and they are three times more likely than usual to suffer heart attacks, Krauss said. Not all of these people will have heart attacks, and dense LDL itself may not even be the culprit. Instead, it may be a ge netic marker, or signal, that they are at higher than usual risk. Krauss said that such people may be unusually susceptible to the dangers of bad living habits that are often associated with heart trouble. School holds ‘plastic fork rebellion’ GREENFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Fifth-graders upset over plastic forks and spoons in the cafeteria are demanding a return to stain less steel, and their principal said they could protest with posters and petitions “as long as they had everything spelled correctly.” The campaign, dubbed “The Great Plastic Fork Rebellion” by one father, began a few weeks ago when students at the Four Corners Elementary School dis covered their stainless steel table ware had been shipped to the high school for use by what one youngster called “ugh, teen-ag ers.” Christopher Peters, 11, and his classmates hung the cafeteria with posters reading “School Is No Picnic” and “Real People De serve Real Silverware.” KAPPA ALPHA Proudly announces its Spring ’38 Rush + Wed.
