Domingo returned to Mexico to aid in the search and rescue efforts for four of his relatives missing since the earth­ quake Sept. 19. Quake survivors to protest By Frederick Kiel United Press International MEXICO CITY - President Mi­ guel de la Madrid vowed Thursday to speed the rebuilding of earth- quake-ravaged Mexico City as a group of survivors blasted the gov­ ernment for ignoring shoddy con­ struction at a housing complex where 1,000 people died. The official death toll from the earthquakes that struck the capital Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 stood at 4,596, but a United Press International survey found at least 56 more bodies were pulled from the rubble of col­ lapsed buildings Wednesday. The search for survivors contin­ ued at sites like the Hospital Juarez, where Ana Guadalupe Rubalcava, 28, was pulled out shortly after mid­ night, suffering only from bruises. An unidentified nurse was dragged from the wreckage about 3 a.m. and a week-old baby was saved shortly before dawn. But rescue workers, noting most people can survive for only a week without food and water, held out little hope that many more people Opposition groups urge end to police brutality By Erik Van Ees • Qi* SP*° United Pr»liiteriiatio^ which gathered complaints JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Opposition groups Thursday de­ manded that the white-minority gov­ ernment take steps to end police torture and brutality against prison­ ers detained under South Africa's state of emergency. In Pretoria, Police Minister Louis Le Grange declined comment on charges of "systematic" and "bru­ tal assaults" made a day earlier to a Port Elizabeth judge by Dr. Wendy Orr, a white government-employed surgeon who cares for inmates at two prisons. Judge Johannes Eksteen ordered police in Port Elizabeth and nearby Uitenhage to end assaults on detain­ ees held under the terms of the 2- month-old state of emergency im­ posed in a bid to quell racial unrest. Future detainees are also protected by his instructions. The yearlong unrest has left some 700 people dead since last Septem­ ber, most of them blacks. In scattered violence Thursday, five blacks were arrested after a police barracks and a policeman's home in the black Langa township were firebombed during the night, said a police spokesman in Cape Town. Police also said a black man who refused to stop at a roadblock in Soweto, outside Johannesburg, was shot and "slightly injured." - Helen Suzman, law and order spokesman for the white opposition Progressive Federal Party, or PFP, ! called for an independent inquiry ; into the charges of torture raised by • Orr. i She said Police Commissipner Jo- han Coetzee and Justice Minister Kobie Coetsee told a PFP delegation two weeks ago that "serious steps would be taken against police found abusing their power." She urged them to make good on that promise. Le Grange, in an interview with the Johannesburg newspaper The Star, said: "I have often stated in public that neither I nor the commis­ sioner of police will condone any form of violence on the part of the police and strict instructions in this regard have been issued." . ' The newspaper, under the head­ line: "Torture thrives in the dark." said in an editorial: "But there is considerable evidence to suggest that those instructions are being disregarded." Orr's allegations, the first such charges about police assaults made •by a government employee, coincid­ ed with a police investigation into similar charges made by residents of Cape Town's Guguletu township. Dr. Juan Eduardo Rubio Loyola at the hospital site. "The bodies we are now pulling out are in a very bad state, very decomposed," added Elvira Velaz­ quez, a medical student volunteer. As the cleanup continued, elemen­ tary and secondary schools in the metropolitan region of 18 million people remain closed until Monday, and the sale of alcoholic beverages was also banned until then. ^ ^ ^ There was at least one sign, how- couTd stilTbe aiive after being buried "ever' wa^ returning to for eight days " normal. The first professional soc- " cer game since the quake was "There are very few possibilities scheduled for Thursday night, tele- of finding people still alive," said vision officials said. De la Madrid, who has been mak­ ing daily tours of the hardest hit areas of the capital, said the disas­ ter will force "a new direction" in construction in the city -- a sign he plans to move factories and offices away from the overcrowded area. "We will live and we will rebuild," he told a group of busines^nen. "And not only will we set new'mea­ sures to avoid future catastrophes, but we will take a new direction in developing our country's capital." The president said he has ordered the "immediate reconstruction" of the capital, and said work will begin as soon as the rubble is cleared. Government officials have long acknowledged that the ecology of the Valley of Mexico is being slowly destroyed by the wastes and needs of residents of the sprawling metropolis. A PFP Unrest Monitoring Com- and presented them to Col" Nick Acker, head of the investigation, said the police action involved "bru­ tality, barbarity, insensitivity and boorishness." Dr. Abu-Baker Asvat, health sec­ retary for the radical Azanian Peo­ ples' Organization, said under the state of emergency, "obviously safe­ guards gainst these sort of abuses are missing. Only access to close relatives, a lawyer or a private med­ ical doctors could (improve) this position'. ON ALL INGERS0LL TRACTORS ft EQUIPMENT INGERSOLL...

Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry (815)385-0420 5 charged in ship's bombing By Marie Colvin United Press International PARIS -- Five military officers suspected of leaking information to journalists about the French secret service role in bombing the Green­ peace ship Rainbow Warrior were charged Thursday with compromis­ ing national security. The charges came a day after Prime Minister Laurent Fabius went before the nation in a television broadcast and placed responsibility for the attack in New Zealand on the defense minister and chief of intelli­ gence, both of them recently fired from their jobs. Military authorities held four of the officers charged in the case in isolation. The fifth, suspected of act­ ing as an intermediary between the four officers and the press, was re­ leased on his own recognizance. The four detained officers were identified as Col. Joseph Fourrier, 53, assistant to the secret service's chief of counter-espionage and one of the agency's longest-serving offi­ cers: Capt. Alain Borras, 32; Petty Officer Richard Guillet, 32, and Sgt. Maj. Bernard Davier, 27. The fifth, Capt. Paul Barril, 39, was released. Barril, convicted in 1983 of planting evidence to frame members of an Irish nationalist group and banned from military ac­ tivities for five years, was not on active duty. All five were charged with com­ promising national security for al­ legedly leading information to jour­ nalists about the scandal and face sentences of one to five years in jail. The French press first linked the secret service to the July bombing of the Greenpeace flagship, which was in New Zealand to lead a protest of French nuclear testing at the Mururoa atoll. The blast killed a photographer working with the anti- nuclear, ecological group. The government at first denied its intelligence offiers had any role, but Fabius on Sunday admitted that French agents bombed the ship and covered up their actions from an official inquiry.
