Now they are coming back to haunt the country. About once a month for the past year, the official press has reported the unearthing of another mass grave as the Soviet Union reveals the horror of its past. On Tuesday, Soviet television carried another report, this one about the reburial of 350 skeletons found on a mountain near Chelyabinsk. A correspondent said innocent "men, women, old people and even children" possibly as were loaded many as 300,000 onto trucks and shot at night. The Memorial group found the remains buried in a former gold mine where authorities wanted to build houses. Now officials plan to turn the area into a memorial, the correspondent said. A reburial ceremony is also planned Saturday for the remains of 540 of Stalin's victims found at a garbage dump in the Ukrainian coal center of Donetsk. Golovanov coordinates efforts to track down the mass graves for Memorial, the national group lobbying to clear the names of Stalin's "enemies of the people," as well as help their families and those who survived years in labor SteDSini ymm lo)D - ' fi.OVJ BBSS after widespread criticism that: it Four BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) bombs exploded at banks in Bogota early today as Colombia prepared to extradite two cocaine traffickers to the United States to face drug charges, police said.

He believes there could be as many as 100,000 unmarked mass graves left as a legacy from the purges, repressions and labor camps Stalin oversaw from the late 1920s until his death in 1953. Press coverage of the graves began last year when a killing field was found in the Kuropaty forest of Byelorussia. It escalated with a similar discovery in in the Ukraine. ya Memorial receives a steady stream of letters with information about newly revealed sites, and Golovanov said he sometimes wonders, "What is your goal in digging them up?" He answers: to make sure peo ple know all the evil of the Stalin years. He believes there is a need to restore respect to the dead. "You're walking, and they're lying there under you, and not a single person knows about their fate," he said. Golovanov believes the caches of bones also make a forceful statement about the country's Communist rulers. "The people in the government are the same now as they were then," he said. "People can't help but see that." Ceng The party's tral Committee last month ordered local governments to do all they could to redress Stalin-er- a policy-makin- wrongs, including cooperating with groups like Memorial. "Mass burial places should be recognized as official cemeteries," the decree said, and "organs of the police and the KGB should be more involved in this work." But Golovanov said revealing and marking the old graves remains fraught with conflicts. In Donetsk, the local government had turned the killing field over to developers and was reluctant to change its plans, the youth newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported Wednesday. Eventually, authorities agreed to turn most of the land into a memorial park.

The Roman Catholic auxiliary bishop of El Salvador, Gregorio Rosa Chavez, described the mood at the discussions as "stupendous." Speaking at a news conference Thursday night, he said the two sides planned to release a nt document today outlining their plans for peace talks, and that the main issues will include a ceasefire and bringing the rebels into Salvadoran politicial life. Rosa Chavez said the agreement outlines how to prepare the meetings and the role of the Catholic Church in the talks. He said the first meeting probably would be held next month. "It's clear that the two sides have reached a clear agreement that they should be attempting to but an reach not just a cease-fir- e end to hostilities," Rosa Chavez said. Rosa Chavez said he "had the impression" the future meetings would be held monthly and that they would include international observers. He said the talks will take place inside and outside El Salvador. He said he believed both sides were negotiating in good faith. "I'm very content. I believe this is a very important day for all Salvadorans," he said. "You can't solve 10 years of war in 10 days, but putting ourselves on the path to peace is an important achieve- ment." The current round of talks began Wednesday and were the first in two years between the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front guerrilla group and the government. The talks also were the first for the rightist Republican U.S.-back- Nationalist Alliance government of President Alfredo Cristiani, who took office June 1.
