It's Wednesday, August 1 , 1984 9 Sections 62 Pages 25 Cents Salvadoran rebels kill 58 in assault on co- op- s, village New York Times EL JOCOTE, El Salvador Leftist guer-rillas attacked two fanning cooperatives and a small village in western El Salvador on Monday, killing 33 civil defense troops and 19 civilians, witnesses said Tuesday. The battles were among the fiercest to oc-cur in this part of the country, which has been relatively tranquil during years of civil war Three women and two children were killed in the fighting, which the witnesses, resi-dents of the various areas, said began at about midnight Sunday and lasted until 8 am The rebels, they said, left the area quickly after capturing arms and burning some farm vehicles The small settlements were protected by untrained civil defense troops. These guards, who live in the community, are issued an au-tomatic rifle and paid about $ 1 a day Re-inforcements from the army did not arrive until Monday afternoon, the residents said. Military officials said they were concerned that the rebels might step up military acuv-- 4 ity in western El Salvador, where the gov ernment troops have less battls pxpraence and where most of the towns are guarded by t only a handful of civil defense guards ,, Untd now, the guerrillas have concen- - ; trated their efforts in eastern El Salvador where the army has stationed its best- train- ed troops. The western part of the coun-try has primarily been the scene of small " clashes and some economic sabotage ' t j.' The Salvadoran army has been carrying out nearly continuous operations in the east Many of the troops there, unlike those in the . west, have received additional training from American advisers in El Salvador, Hondu-ras, Panama or the United States A Salvadoran army officer said the rebels have camps along the River Lempa, which runs from east to west along the top of the western provinces of La Libertad and Santa Ana He said the army has been worried for some time that the rebels would attempt larger operations in the west using these bases The three places attacked at about mid-night Sunday, Los Ranches, El Jocote and Las Flores, are isolated settlements about 5 miles apart in the northern part of La Liber-tad province El Jocote and Las Flores were the scenes of smaller clashes earlier this year. The nearest army base is about 15 miles south, but it would take at least 45 minutes for army trucks to travel the rutted dirt roads Soldiers who arrived in El Jocote with cof-fins on Monday afternoon said they had heard the firing from the army base, but could do nothing about it because they had no way of communicating with the set-tlements Each settlement was guarded by 10 to 17 civil defense troops According to civilians in the area, they fought until their ammunition ran out. Only two or three escaped Across El Salvador, about 15,000 civil de-fense troops attempt to guard the towns where they live In the east, many have been killed in rebel attacks, and in other cases the units have been disbanded because villagers fear the presence of armed guards will only attract rebels looking for arms. French airliner hijacked United Press International Three Arabic- speakui- g hijackers, appar-ently armed with grenades, seized an Air France jetliner with 64 people aboard Tues-day and forced it to fly from Switzerland to Beirut and Cyprus, and then to Iran, officials said The hijackers commandeered the Air France Boeing 737 on a flight from Frank-furt, West Germany, to Pans and forced it to fly to Geneva for refueling. " Just do what they want, the pilot told lo-cal government official Robert Ducret when the plane landed in Geneva. " There has al-ready been one death and if you do not hurry there will be more " The death the pilot referred to was in ques-tion An Air France spokesman in Pans said there were no dead or wounded among the passengers and crew It was the second airliner hijacking this See SOLDIERS, Page 15A GTE computer out of order By Madonna Kukay Missourlan staff writer About 22,000 people in the Columbia area were affected when a new computer switch failed at GTE Tuesday afternoon. Ron Hopwood, spokesman for Columbia's GTE office, called the disruption in service temporary. Most of those directly affected are customers downtown and in surrounding area with 442, 443 and 449 prefixes, Hopwood said. Those with 874, 875, 876 and 474 prefixes were able to continue dial out to numbers within their respective exchanges but were unable to reach any other numbers. Offices on the University campus, for example, were able to dial numbers within the Univer-sity system but weren't able to reach off- camp- us numbers Also disrupted was the entire 911 or emer-gency system, said Hopwood But most cus-tomers were able to reach the GTE office, so emergency police patrols were arranged for the vicinity of the GTE building. Hopwood said the office received calls from more than 100 customers who hadn't heard the emergency announcements being broadcast by area media. Hopwood said the cause of the failure is be-ing investigated. r Fair schedule Aug 1 9 am Jr and Sr sheep show and Judging events ( sheep barn) 6 30 p m Senior beef show and judging ( arena) 6 30 pm Junior beef breeding show and judging ( arena) 7pm Baby show girls and boys ages 1 to 2 years ( merchants tent) 8pm Horse pulling contest ( new are-na) Aug 2 9 am Junior and Senior sheep show and judging ( sheep barn) 7 pm Baby show ( merchants tent) 2 to 2Vz years 7pm Horse show ( arena) 7 30pm Horseshoe pitching contest Aug 3 9 30 am Archery contest 10 am Tractor rodeo 4 pm.

" We want more information before we put these programs out on a limb," committee chairman James Westbrook said. The committee said it needs to know how much will be needed to enhance programs that have been identified as deserving of a larger chunk of the UMC budget and whether there is a chance that the funds might be generated without reductions in the budgets of other academic programs. Yet committee members admitted that those aren't the only reasons for holding up on a decision. They simply can't agree on how to proceed, they said Westbrook explained that action on any recommendations by the committee likely will be delayed until the new University sys-tem president, Peter McGrath, enters office in January The committee said it believes that it would be unfair to leave any program in um-bo until then Negative labels at this point would be premature, committee members agreed. They indicated that they are hamstrung untd the Board of Curators can make several important decisions One of these involves the Long Range Planning Steering Commit-tee's reallocation plan, which was discussed at last week's board meeting That plan, which is expected to be ap-proved by the board m October, outlines sev-eral goals for the University system, includ- - ing salary increases and equipment purchases Funds to cover the difference be-tween the cost of these goals and University system revenue would have to be made up through reallocation of funds In other words, the budgets of some programs proba-bly would have to be reduced in order to free up dollars needed to enhance others The needed funds would hav e to come from with-in the University, committee members said. Until the Board of Curators can come up with revenue projections a crucial step in deciding how much reallocation of funds will be necessary the review committee's task is difficult, committee members said The committee's efforts are but one part of a much bigger picture and for the moment at .

Page 1 5A 1 City to tackle annual budget again By Maureen McNamara Missourlan staff writer Money makes the world go around and, in the process, oils the wheels of government Today at 9 a. m., the thoughts of City Coun-cil members turn to budgetary matters. And that means money yours, mine, ours. Unraveling the intricacies of the 1985 bud-get proposal, submitted to the council today by City Manager Dick Gray, can be a time- consumi- ng and complicated process. But it's not impossible, according to those who draft the documenteachyear. " Try to put everything else out of your mind and keep revenues and expenditures straight," said Sam Evins, assistant finan-cial planner for the city. " Then look at the comparison between years." It's somewhat easier to understand the evolution of the document First, it's important to know that the city's fiscal year begins Oct 1 and ends Sept 30. On Aug. 1, the council is presented with a proposal for the coming year. The council i 4-- f then has until the last day in September to refine and approve it. If the council cannot agree on revisions by Sept. 30, the document, as presented the first day of August automatically takes effect But that has never happened in Columbia. And the reason is that the council is kept con-stantly apprised of developments in the bud-getary process from day one which is ear-ly in April of each year. " It's a very efficient process," says Mayor John Westlund. " Everything is out in the open. That's the way I wantitto be." In April, the Finance Department sends worksheets requesting budget information to all coy departments. The worksheets include the budget for an individual department for the current year and ask for estimated ex-- pendSures for the coming year. These must be completed and returned m May. Meanwhile, the Finance Department at- - tempts to develop a picture of what the en-tire city's revenues will be for the coming year. This is not an easy task when you con-sider that much of the city's income is deter-mined by the weather A mild winter, for in-stance, will mean less revenue from the sale of electrical power Once these predictions are complete and information from the separate departments arrives, the wizards in finance face the unen-viable task of trying to figure out how to cov-er all the anticipated expenditures with in-come theyhope the city will take in City Manager Gray participates in the re-view of each department's budget request If demands exceed anticipated revenues, the city manager and administrators from the individual departments get together in an ef-fort to figure out where to trim. " My task is to come up with a balanced budget" Gray said. " That's the most diffi-cult part" BuWt's usually a reasonably amicable process everyone involved realizes the city '' manager will make the initial budget presentation to the councd. The department heads can men follow that with personal t pleas for expenditures that were not ap-proved.. By late July, the final document has taken form All that remains is the mechanics of typing and printing, then the formal presen-tation to the council and the press While journalists busy themselves pouring over the document with calculators m an effort to find indications of fiscal improprieties, Gray's of-fice begins preparing for work- stud- y ses-sions at which the councd challenges depart-ment directors to defend then planned expenditures Gray has announced that this year's work- stud- y sessions will be Aug. 13 and 16 at the council chambers The sessions are open to the public, but only inquiries from the coun-cil will be allowed The public will have an opportunity to comment on the revised document following introduction of an ordinance to adopt the budget and a resolution calling for a public hearing Sept. 4 I B
