The jury is still out, but some of the nation's top weather watchers are suggesting that a volcano in Mexico was the culprit behind the recent destructive storms in the United States and around the world. Wednesday it would keep killing U.S. advisers until they are all forced to leave the country. The FLP, as it is known by its acronym in Spanish, claimed responsibility for the May 25 murder of Lt. Cmdr. Albert Schaufelberger III, deputy commander of the American military advisory group. He was the first U.S. adviser killed in El Salvador. "All the military advisers sent here will return to the United States in coffins," the FPL said in a communique, copies of which were sent to local radio stations in the capital. The FPL leaflets said Schaufelberger's murder was a warning against "the bellicose Reagan administration so that it does not continue its aggression against our people." Specifically, the March 1982 eruption may have triggered a sequence of climatological events that disrupted the flow of currents and trade winds in the Pacific Ocean, creating a phenomenon called "El Nino." It caused floods or droughts that killed 800 people and left $7 billion in damage on several continents. In the United States, government scientists say, El Nino was responsible for: The winter storms that left $500 million in damage in California. , The spring floods in Mississippi and Louisiana that forced 52,000 people from their homes with damage estimated at $626 million. The more than 500 tornadoes that have killed 22 people in Texas alone. The record snowpack in the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies that is producing destructive mudslides and flooding this week in the West. in effect, Bountiful residents Wednesday tons ofthick brown muck left behind by from out began digging of water and mud.' a massive wall Police Chief Larry Higgins said no new evacuation order had been issued since a deluge carved through this 10 miles north of Salt Lake City late community of 31,000 some officially remained n , Israeli troops pulling back Israeli forces sent into Lebanon during the war scare last week began pulling back Wednesday, and Prime Minister Menachem Begin assured Syria that Israel has no plans to launch an attack. Combat units headed back to Israel clogged the narrow roads in South Lebanon, Associated Press correspondent Larry Thorson reported from the area. Armored personnel carriers and 155 mm artillery pieces were put on trailer trucks at an assembly point. Diplomatic sources in Beirut estimated that Israel moved 10,000 men into eastern and central Lebanon last week, increasing its total force there to 35,000 men, because Syrian forces were holding maneuvers in which Soviet troops were reported taking part. It has been the wettest spring on record in much of the nation from the Deep South to Chicago and across to New England, with many areas of the Northeast getting more than twice the normal amount of rain. Across much of the northern hemisphere it was the warmest winter in 25 years, on the average of 5 degrees warmer in the United States.

However, the numberof evacuated persons was revised from an earlier figure of 609 to 1 ,000 Wednesday. ; The slide, which gouged out a ragged gorge 50 feet deep and Stone Creek once flowed, 100 feet wide where the foundation and pushed its it off home by twisting destroyed one and basements mud and debris into yards of about 50 other once-peacef- ul houses, officials said. "When the creek jumped its banks it just went nuts," Higgins said. "A lot of private property was damaged." ; One person suffered a broken leg, but no other serious injuries were . reported. The wall of water, mud, boulders and splintered trees left a gaping chasm where Davis Boulevard had wound through an affluent north Bountiful residential area. On Wednesday, pieces of asphalt periodically crumbled into the abyss, quickly being swallowed by a cascade of angry brown water. The slide tumbled a power; substation from its cement bed of mud debris and gnarled foundations into a transformers. A pickup truck, tossed like a toy, was buried halfway into the side of the crumpled substation building. Mayor Dean Stahle said that while the slide from saturated Stone Creek Canyon northeast of town would continue to be monitored, crews and an army of volunteers were concentrating . .'-'on clearing streets of mud. The city will be helped by 66 Utah National Guardsmen and a fleet of dump trucks, bulldozers and graders dispatched late Wednesday, said Spec. 5 David Kintner, guard spokesman. He also said the guard had notified its unit commanders to be prepared to call in personnel for emergency service. That could put a force of about 5,000 guardsmen into the battle with flooding and mudslides, Kintner said. igh .
