Show wag; Youths in N.Y. The Salt Lake Tribune mmn , v - NEW YORK (AP) Hundreds of marauding youths swept out of Central Park after a free concert by Diana Ross, slashing and mugging people in their path down an avenue through midtown Manhattan. The swarming youths blanketed the area along Eighth Avenue between 59th Street, at the corner of the park, and 40th Street, site of a major bus terminal near Times Square, for nearly two hours Friday night before police were able to control them, said Gerard Kerins, assistant chief of the Manhattan North precinct. They struck like lightning, Kerins said, adding he did not believe the youngsters were part of any organized gang. They were just a bunch of kids raising hell and ripping people off, he said. Surround and Rob Mario Sudani said he heard a roar between 8 30 and 9 p.m. and looked out his apartment window onto Eighth Avenue to see an entire street filled with kids running south. When anyone was in the way, they would surround them and rob them. In 30 seconds I saw them overwhelm three or four people and grab things from them. Kerins said 171 complaints were made and 84 people were arrested on charges ranging from robbery to inciting a riot. But he said the arrests included ones made throughout the day while people gathered for the concert, which drew 350,000 fans. He said 600 officers were deployed to control the gangs. Most of s from those arrested were throughout the metropolitan area. The concert had been patrolled by 900 officers and park rangers. teen-ager- One Shot Teen-Age- r was shot when he lunged at a plainclothes officer with a knife.

The man, identified as Richard Cruz, 19, lunged at one officer after they tried to intervene, and another officer shot him, Ms. Montanaro said. Cruz was recovering Saturday from surgery at St. Lukes Hospital, a spokesman said.

The number has taken on a life of its own and has become much more important than it should be, a se- nior Defense Department official said Saturday. He added, Any increase, no matter how insignificant in actual numbers, would be portrayed as a major American escalation. Thats foolish. Sen. Claiborne Pell of Rhode Is- land, the senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said, It would be a mistake for Mr. Reagan to approve an increase in the number of advisers because the essential result would be to further Americanize the war in El Salvador. Woman Proves Honesty Isnt Dead - Marcie DELAND, Fla. (UPI) Groover said all she could imagine man who had was a lost his life savings when she found a wad of cash totalling $3,621 in a downtown parking lot. So the Stetson University student ignored the advice of ld friends to keep the money and instead turned it over to police last week. On Friday, the owner a salesman from Orhad his money back. mond Beach I never thought there were people that honest in the world, said owner Rob Harris. Harris was so pleased with Miss Groovers honesty that he gave her a $500 reward, even though she didnt want to accept it. You dont have to do that, Miss Groover said she told Harris. I dont need to, but I damn sure want to, Harris said he replied. Miss Groover, a lifelong resident of Deland, said she didnt do anything extraordinary by turning in the money. "I dont think its a question of being extra honest. People told me Id be losing all of that money, she said. But I didnt lose anything. I think a lot of people would have done what I did. Miss Groover said she spotted the money when she went to buy wrapping paper from a store. First she saw a $1 bill near on the pavement, then looked under an adjacent parked car and saw a thick role of bills. 70 off!

Although recent intelligence reports from El Salvador indicate that the military has made gains in a spring and summer offensive, the long-teroutlook still appears to be a stalemate between government and guerrilla forces, according to senior intelligence officials. Top American military officers have long advocated sending more advisers to El Salvador. Gen. Wallace H. Nutting, until recently the commander of United States forces in Latin America, urged the administration this year to increase the number of advisers to more than 300 over the next two years. Until recently, some civilian officials in the department argued that any change would alarm Congress and might damage administration efforts to get congressional approval for extra aid money for El Salvador. Administration officials said the Pentagons recommendation, which was relayed to the White House by Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger last week, was an important victory for Defense Department proponents of an expanded U S. military role in Central America. Reagan and his senior advisers, concerned that the level of American military involvement in Central America was insufficient to block the expansion of what they see as Soviet and Cuban influence, recently reviewed American policy in the re- - California Budget Cuts Slash Demo Programs SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Re- publican Gov. George Deukmejian has cut the state budget by more than $1 billion and left an unmistakable message: After eight years of Democrat Edmund G. Brown Jr., California is changing course. The $26 billion budget that Deukmejian signed last week left many Democratic programs of the past decade starving for money and staff. The big Brown programs hit by the new governor include the farm labor board, probably Brbwns Most noted achievement; the coastal and energy commissions, which often sided with environmentalists and against developers; and the public defender program for the poor. California also will not be spending money on public broadcasting, the Sacramento-to-Lo- s Angeles overnight train or a council to promote wellness all programs inaugurated by Brown. Republicans and conservative Democrats have been trying for years to cut back or abolish some of those programs but have been thwarted by the Legislatures liberal Democratic leadership. Now, Deukmejian can accomplish much the same thing by himself. Narrowly elected in November in a state where Republicans make up only 35 percent of the registered voters, Deukmejian had a bumpy road to the budget, his first. He almost had to issue IOUs to state creditors in February. But he faced down the Democratic leaders in July in a confrontation that held gion. They concluded that the United States should make a substantial crease in its military presence, cording to senior officials. in- ac- This month Reagan approved a series of military exercises in Central America and the Caribbean that are designed to lay the groundwork for the expanded presence and for a possible limited military blockade of Nicaragua. The air, sea and land operations, are to last a minimum of six months and will include two aircraft carrier battle groups. It will also include the construction of a $150 million U.S. military base on the Atlantic coast of Honduras and the stockpiling of large quantities of U.S. military equipment in the region. The plan does not envisage any immediate combat role for Ameri- can forces, officials said Friday, but does call for making preparations so American forces can be swiftly called into action if necessary.

Henry was picked up off the coast from an inflatable boat. They said that after their arrest they were flown by helicopter to a military base, then back to Lorino for interrogation, then again to the base, where they spent most of the week. Nome Mayor Leo Rasmussen, who was deputized as a U.S, State Department representative, was taken to the Fedor Matisen, where he met with the Soviets for about an hour. He said he signed release papers and accepted a formal protest from the Soviets to relay to up the budget for a record three weeks. Now that its finished, the budget represents our commitment to restore common sense and fiscal solvency to state government, and to do so without adding general tax burdens on our citizens, he said. The largest single budget reduction was in education. The states colleges and universities lost $389 million. Deukmejian wants $188 Million of that made up in student fees. That would mean $150 more a year in the University of California system, with 130,000 students, $230 more for the 300,000 students in the California State University system and a first-eve- r, tuition charge at community colleges, which have 1.4 million students. The two universities likely will go along, but the community colleges are expected to fight. Democratic leaders say they will oppose a bill to implement the charge next month and may try to override the budget cut, for which they will need some GOP support But the governor probably will have the upper hand next month on the issue of financing for cities and counties. Deukmejian, at a news conference Friday, defended the $50 per semester fee, saying theres no way that a person cant, in my view, raise $50 if theyre willing, if they really want to get an education.
