Voting continues
in San Salvador
despite violence
Zain’s
Indian Restaurant
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP)
— Salvadorans vowing not to be in
timidated by guerrilla threats voted
Sunday in legislative and municipal
elections. The voting came after ex
plosions ripped through the capital
and sabotage knocked out power to
much of the nation.
Early turnout was moderate, with
no long lines at polling places in the
capital. There were some organiza
tional difficulties, including late de
livery of ballot boxes to some voting
stations and arguments over the
placement of party observers at ta
bles where registrations were
checked.
The entire capital was without

electricity after lef tist guerrillas blew
up transmission towers outside the
city. The outage meant that virtually
no one in the city had running wa
ter, as the state-owned utility’s
pumps run on electricity.
The outage knocked almost all ra
dio stations off the air. Only the
army’s Radio Cuscatlan, which has a
powerful generator, was broadcast
ing news.
Telephone calls to local radio re
porters around the country showed
that guerrillas had knocked out
power in 11 of El Salvador’s 14 prov
inces.
A half-dozen explosions were
heard late Saturday and early Sun
day in and around the capital. Guer
rillas of the Farabundo Marti Na
tional Liberation Front had vowed to
step up sabotage attempts to demon
strate their “repudiation” of the
vote.
The rebels, engaged in an 8-year-
old war with the U.S.-backed gov
ernment, considered the vote a farce
and called for a boycott.
The destruction of transmission
towers and high-tension lines fol
lowed the explosion Friday night of
a car bomb in the affluent neighbor
hood of Escalon. One person was in
jured.
At stake were all 60 seats in the
National Assembly legislature. Vot
ers also elected mayors and munici
pal councils in all the 262 cities and
towns nationwide.
It was the fifth time since a 1979
coup by reform-minded officers that
voters were casting ballots. The last
election was in 1985.

speculation centers on late May in
Moscow — and some progress to

The treaty is the projected cen

fourth and final meeting with Soviet
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, but ne
gotiations in Geneva have proceeded
slowly.
“It’s possible, hut we not going to
try to have one just for the sake of a

Official: Insurance should pay fortes
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— Insurance companies should
pay for efforts to detect cancer

said in a speech prepared for de

In an interview earlier, Eyre
said he was talking about Pap

Canal seems untouched by crisis
PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP)
— When strikes shut down the
rest of the country, Panama Ca
nal employees went to work.
When flaming barricades blocked
downtown streets, roads to the ca

ping the rest of the country has
barely touched the waterway so
important and vital to Panama's
economy.
Even at the height of this
week’s protests, rioters demand

Manuel Antonio Noriega avoided
the canal zone just outside the
capital.
Canal officials said the most se
