IT, 1978 FINAL 20C Somoza dictates: every rebel9 MANAGUA, Nicaragua (UPI) Government troops under orders to kill guerrillas until the last man, battled for every block in Nicaraguas second-largest city and parts of the capital today in full-scale civil war in the South American nation. A third city, Masada, was in flames.

The mounting death toll reportedly was in the hundreds in the fighting between the U.S.-trained army of President Anastasio Somoza and the Sandinista guerrillas, who last month staged a dramatic commando operation at the National Palace. The government placed Masaya and Esteli under martial law after a Cabinet meeting of Somoza and his minsters. A communique suspending constitutional guarantees in both cities was issued from the bunker Somozas headquarters amid the sounds of gunfire in the capital. In a separate communique, the government again claimed order had been re-established in Managua and Leon, and called on Nicaraguans in those cities to go to work normally today. Despite government claims to the contrary, the two-day-old offensive by Marxist Sandinista guerrillas trying to give the tottering regime of President Anastasio Somoza a final push continued unabated on several fronts in the capital and in provincial cities.

The National Guard maintains control and order in all of the republic, Col. Aquiles Aranda, the Guards public relations chief, said in his latest communique Sunday. He praised all of the members of this Central American nations U.S.-trained army for their high morale and efficiency in the missions accomplished. However, heavy arms fire flared again in Managua Sun day night, and gunbattles were reported in progress early today in at least three locations in the capital. One police source said two Guardsmen and three Sand-inistas had died in a fresh battle, and Sandinista guerrillas were shootmg at troops from treetops.

The source said there was an order to kill the Sandimstas until the last man. The Guard claimed government troops retook Leon, Nicaraguas second largest city, at 2 p.m. Sunday, but witnesses said there had been only a truce between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to allow people to get fresh food supplies into the blacked-out city 50 miles west of Managua.

Foreign visitors said they counted at least eight bodies from gunbattles in the afternoon at the only hospital still operating. At 7 p.m., fighting continued all over Leon. The Sandimstas are holding one block here and the Guard is on the other block, said Alonso Abaunza, publisher of the Centroamericano newspaper in Leon. Eight masked guerrillas, one of them a girl who couldnt have been more than 13 years old, came by here asking everyone to give them them pistols. A National Guard tank was reported destroyed in Leon, but another tank was attacking a university science building there after dark.

Masaya, Nicaraguas fourth largest city located about 15 miles east of Managua, was engulfed by fires that burned out of control today amid continuing heavy arms toe. One fire consumed the entire six-block business area of Masaya. Five other blazes on other areas sent black columns of smoke into the air as residents frantically streamed out of the city on foot. Baby left in closed truck dies came fussy and started whining in her stroller while Pike was looking at television sets. He told authorities that he then gave his daughter some milk as she sat in her stroller.

Pike later took Jennifer back to the truck because purchasing arrangements on the television set were taking longer than expected and the little girl became fussy. By MIKE STONE Of The Capital Times Staff An 18-week-old girl died Sunday afternoon from apparent aspiration on vomited milk while sitting in her fathers pick-up truck while he was shopping inside the East Towne Mall. Jennifer Sue Pike was pronounced dead on arrival at Methodist Hospital at about 4:30 p.m. She had been left in the pickup truck by her father, David Pike of Baraboo, for about a half-hour with all windows tightly closed according to a preliminary coroners report. The outside temperature was in the mid-90s at the time.

Coroners Investigator Richard Peterson said Sunday that the temperature which hit SI may have contributed to the infants vomiting which resulted in aspiration. Dane County Coroner Gyde Bud Chamberlain said this morning that an autopsy will be performed today. According to the coroners office, Pike, 19, brought Jennifer to the shopping center because his wife, Peggy, was working and they could not find a babysitter. Jennifer be Staff photo by Henry A. Koshollek A big one for the Packers He put the girl into the truck seat, turned on the radio, and apparently thought he had left the windows partially open.

He said he left his window open part of the way, Chamberlain said. But he must have been mistaken because they were all closed. Pike said the child was not crying when he left her. He thought the television arrangements would only take a couple of minutes but they took over half an hour instead. When Pike returned to the truck the child was unconscious.

She was taken to the hospital by fire department rescue ambulance. hurst and the receiving of James Lofton, who caught three TD passes. Defending against Smith were Ray Brown (No. 27) and Alex Price. See Page 1 1 for more details on the game.

The Capital Times checked 12 bars and taverns, from the posh Madison Club downtown to Fink's Bar and Grill in Mt. Horeb.

Interviewers Mike Stamler, Linda Shanks, Mike Stone, Liz Crusan, Warren Gaskill, Gary Peterson and David Blaska asked the bartenders about whom their patrons were talking and who they expected to win. This years election campaign, which started off with a bang in January, prompting predictions of the hottest campaign year ever, may be a lot like what columnist George Will once said about progress it was all right once, but it went on too long. If Dane Countys bartenders are correct, the turnout in Tuesdays primary election may be the lowest in state history and the voters who do go to the polls will pick Acting Gov. Martin Schreiber and GOP challenger Lee Dreyfus. This weeks 12-tavem poll indicates a backward slide into indecision.

As one barkeep put it, From what Ive heard in here we may have the lowest voter turnout in history. Other than the Carley situation (his weekend ad cancellations) there has been absolutely no talk about anyone else involved in the primary. He said this surprises him because the patrons there usually get involved Schreiber, the incumbent, and Hasten, the GOP convention-endorsed candidate, are favorites. But Dreyfus, using an orators flair, has closed the margin in recent weeks. Several late endorsements have helped Carleys chances.

Dane County has become critical for both Dreyfus and Carley. Both men need substantial margins here to have any chance to beat the favorites in the balloting. Dane County has one of the better records of voter turnouts in partisan statewide primaries. Professor Leon Epstein, one of the states leading political scientists, By MATT POMMER Of The Capital Times Staff The battles for major party gubernatorial nominations which have cost an estimated $1.5 million end Tuesday when an estimated 550,000 persons will vote in this years statewide partisan primary elections. Competing for the head of the Democratic ticket are Madison businessman David Carley and Acting Gov.

Wisconsin has an open primary that allows voters to decide which party election to participate in when they get to the polls.

3) Anderson 'lied about Vesco: White House The Civiletti memo was triggered by an interest in the Vesco situation expressed by Rosalynn Carter upon her return from a trip to South America a few days earlier. The new approach also was unsuccessful, but officials said the president continued his personal efforts in the matter in a September, 1977, meeting with Costa Ricas president and handwritten note to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance as recently as May. While the White House argued vehemently with many of the Anderson contentions, independent reporting confirmed that there were, indeed, four South Georgians striving desperately to influence high level Carter administration officials on Vescos behalf and later, when they had legal troubles, on their own behalf. They met with no apparent success. of the story.

The second column said only that the government had changed its policies. It also dropped entirely Andersons first paragraph, which had said Jordan and Kirbo were linked to a $10 million political fix. Administration officials did acknowledge that the Justice Department shifted its strategy on trying to get Vesco back during the spring of 1977. But they said the change, set forth in a June 15, 1977, memo for the president by then Assistant Attorney General Benjamin R. Civiletti, was unrelated to any efforts Vescos associates from Georgia may have been making earlier that year.

The shift was to give up what had been unsuccessful attempts to extradite Vesco and work instead to get him expelled so he could be apprehended. The Anderson column alleged that Vesco sought to settle his problems once and for all by getting a group of Georgians to intercede with Jordan and presidential confidant Charles Kirbo. Anderson implied in his column that the effort met with some success, linking it to a switch in U.S. efforts to get Vesco returned. Kirbo also disputed Andersons allegations.

The White House response was complicated by the fact that there were in effect two Anderson columns. The first, distributed to Anderson clients late last week, alleged that the government suddenly dropped its efforts to extradite Vesco and removed the ambassador to Costa Rica who had been pressing for extradition. Anderson revised the column after responses began coming from the Justice Department and circulated a much softer, less accusatory version review of the governments policies on the Vesco matter. In the process, they poked a number of holes in the factual basis of the Anderson story and noted, as Anderson himself has said, that there was no evidence whatsoever that anyone in the administration had lifted a finger to help Vesco. Vesco, who last made headlines when he sought help from the Nixon administration, is now reported to be in the Bahamas: a fugitive from five federal indictments charging that he plundered millions of dollars from a publicly held company and then tried to buy his way out of trouble with a $200,000 contribution to the Nixon campaign in 1972.

Vesco successfully has been avoiding trial since 1973 by fleeing first to Costa Rica and then, earlier this year, to the Bahamas. Washington Post News Service WASHINGTON In an extraordinary series of weekend briefings, the Carter Administration angrily but confidently has disputed accusations by columnist Jack Anderson that the White House was improperly approached to assist fugitive fiancier Robert Vesco with his legal problems. Hamilton Jordan, the top presidential adviser who is. the central target of Andersons allegations, called them malicious and unsubstantiated lies, and said he had retained high powered Washington attorney Edward Bennett Williams and hinted at possible libel action against Anderson. The White House not only brought Jordan and Press Secretary Jody Powell down from the Camp David summit for their rebuttal, but produced for reporters the Justice Department legal aides for a complete 5 V---.
