If the administration is correct and Duarte, regarded as a moderate, is elected, President Reagan will probably speak to the nation next week, the officials said, on behalf of the Salvadoran aid. Officially, the administration is neutral between Duarte and head of the Arena party. But privately, there is no question that senior officials would much prefer that Duarte win because of d'Aubuisson's reported link: to right-win- g death squads. In discussions in recent days, officials have talked in code words with reporters about their preferences. I think if the election goes well on Sunday, the president will be talking to the nation pretty soon, one White House official said, with the context of the conversation meaning, "if Duarte wins. When a senior State Department official was asked what the administration would do if d'Aubuisson won the election, he said, I dont know. Rep. Clarence D. Long, chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, said in an interview Friday that he believed the Salvadoran military would stage a coup if dAubuisson won the election. "They would do this on the grounds that you have to do this to keep the weaponry coming from America. Secretary of State George P. Shultz, in appearances before congressional committees earlier this year, was warned repeatedly by senators and representatives that future American military aid to El Salvador hinged on a dramatic improvement in the human rights situation in that country, an end to death squad activity, and the bringing to trial of those accused of killing American churchwomen and aid volunteers. Long, among others, has said the administration could forget about additional aid if dAubuisson were chosen.

The Pope told 50,000 to reconcile Pope Tells Koreans To Reconcile Past New York Times Service KWANGJU, South Korea Pope John Paul II preached a sermon of reconciliation Friday in this city in which the government crushed a student uprising four years ago with the loss of at least 189 lives. John Paul, addressing a silently attentive audience of about 50,000 at a mass in the city stadium, said: I am keenly aware of the deep wounds that pain your hearts and souls from personal experiences and from recent tragedies, which are difficult to overcome from a merely human point of view, especially for those of you from Kwangju. This part of Christs saving message is particularly relevant for those who are haunted by the memory of the unfortunate events of this place, he said.

Other students said the demonstrations had focused on demands for a free press and were protests against the punitive drafting of student leaders for military service. Six such dissidents have died in military training.; the government of President Chun said they were suicides. In Seoul, meanwhile, students demonstrated on several university campuses into the evening. The protests were not directed against the pope, but were evidently timed to take place while world attention is concentated on Seoul. A social worker in Kwangju, who was a militant four years ago, said the pope's visit, which as a Roman Catholic she had eagerly awaited, had been a disappointment to her and her friends. Part of the reason, she said, was the tight security, with heavy police reinforcements, which prevented John Paul from hearing the peoples views. In addition, she said, many dissidents were disappointed that the pope did not visit the cemetery where most of the victims of the 1980 student uprising are buried. dropped from 5.7 percent in March to 5.2 in April) Although total U.S. employment reached a new high during April, the economic surge that marked 1983 has apparently dissipated. The economic recovery appears to be settling down to a sustainable level with little evidence of overheating and with inflation remaining under control White House spokesman Larry Speakes said. "New jobs are being created and, all in all it's a very healthy economy.

The returning workers, plus the normal growth in the working-agpopulation, makes it necessary for the economy to keep growing strongly in order to reduce the jobless rate. Because expansion has been moderate, the unemployment rate for various groups showed little change in April: adult men, 6.9 percent, up from 6.8 percent; adult women, 7 percent, up from 6.9 percent; teenagers, 19.4 percent, down from 19.9 percent; whites, 6.7 percent, unchanged; blacks, 16.8 percent, up from 16.6 percent, and Latinos, 11.5 percent, up from 11.3 percent. Defends Bonuses By Edward Miller Associated Press Writer Ford MoDEARBORN, Mich. tor Co. Chairman Philip Caldwell declared Friday he's worth the $1.4 million he was paid last year and America should be proud of the - auto industry's comeback and the employees who helped make it happen. But it seems that only in America would they beat up on the guy who is winning, Cald- well said. Caldwell spoke at a news conference he called to rebut the remarks of U.S. Trade Representative William Brock, who this week said Detroits top executives were paid too much in 1983. Fords bonuses, the first in three years because of the severe auto slump, came to more than $80 million for 6,035 executives, or an average of more than $13,000 per employee. Caldwell was at the top with with the rest of the $1.4 million in salary. Also in 1983, Caldwell exercised $5.8 million in accumulated stock options. $900,000, Ford paid more than $22.3 million salary and bonuses to its top 45 an average of nearly half officers a million dollars each. But Caldwell saw it another way $4.46 per vehicle on 1933 sales of 5 million cars, trucks and tractors. Ford earned a profit of $1.87 billion in 1983 and some Wall Street analysts say the company may double that this year. Ford lost more than $3.2 billion in 1980, 1981 and 1982. Brock also invited the Japanese to lift their voluntary restraints on car imports to this country next year, but the White House said later that Brock was not speaking for the Reagan administration. Brock, Caldwell said, should mind his own job by trying to end eight consecutive years of U.S. foreign trade deficits. Caldwell, at the news conference he called, said he was irked that Brock made his complaints to reporters and in front of TV cameras. The place to have these conversations is directly with the people the automakers being criticized. Caldwell said Ford, as the fourth-large- st industrial company in America, is in competition for management talent, the best talent, and the absence of adequate bonuses would encourage its best people to leave. In 1982, the compensation of Fod officers dropped to 31 percent below officer compensation in leading companies, Caldwell said, and led to a raid of sorts by Japanese companies.

Ms. Gibson is scheduled to describe her research Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation in Washington.

The mice that received the transplants were not only infertile, but their sexual organs were severely underdeveloped, said Ms. Gibson. The transplants sparked the maturation of the sex organs and allowed six of 10 mice to bear normal offspring, she said. The mice did not have normal reproductive cycles, however. In normal mice, the amounts of various reproductive hormones in the system rise and fall during a cycle of 6 days, analagous to the human menstrual cycle, that culminates in ovulation. In the mice given brain transplants, however, the level of estrogen, the female sex hormone, remained constant at an intermediate level.

Rule Keeps Developer Under Penns Hat - PHILADELPHIA (AP) City officials have decided to keep an informal height limit for downtown buildings, and a developer says that leaves him sitting on top of Billy Penns hat wondering what to do next. 491-fo- ot ot limit would barely put one at the feet However, the 491-fo- likeness of Wil-- l the am Penn, the largest statue in the world atop a building, which rises nearly 548 feet from ground of to top. Willard Rouse III, a Philadel-phia-are- a developer, had proposed constructing two buildings that would be taller than the bronze statue of Penn that tradi V tionally has marked the upper limit of Philadelphias skyline. On Thursday, the City Planning Commission decided to keep the limit while studying the issue for a year. The statue of Penn, the Quaker idealist who founded Philadelphia more than 300 years ago, is atop City Hall, and no buildings in the city are taller. Rouse proposed a $600 million project Including a hotel a condominium and two office towers rising 55 and 65 stories high, several hundred feet above Penns hat, three blocks from City Hall The commissions research staff recommended preliminary support to Rouses propos- al, but the commission left it in limbo and voted for a lengthy study to draw up a new overall plan governing the construction of buildings downtown. Rouse, who heads the Malverfirm Rouse & Asson-based he thinks the city Is said ciates, "still struggling to make a decision. Thursdays action, he said, was more positive than being turned down. Im not dead yet, he said. I thought I was going to get shot down. I think there's still a little breath in the body, there may not be much, but theres some. r During the meeting Thursday, Barbara J. Kaplan, acting executive director of the commission- ers, said the Rouse high-rise- s would generate an estimated 12,000 jobs and $15 million a year in taxes. She also said no existing views of City Hall would be blocked under Rouses main plan. On the other side was Lee G. Copeland, dean of the University of Pennsylvanias Graduate School of Fine Arts, who called the height limit a kind of Phila- delphia golden rule which Is part of the spirit and tradition of our past The infertile mice lacked a brain hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone (also called leutin-izin- g hormone releasing hormone). Brain cells producing that hormone were taken from mouse embryos and surgically implanted in a cavity in the brain. The hormone then triggered the release of other hormones, eventually leading to the production of estrogen and subsequent ovulation. A number of other research groups are investigating brain transplants in animals and humans. One group, led by Dr. Lars Olson in Stock- at the Karolinska Institute holm, Sweden, has done brain tissue transplants on two humans with Parkinsons disease, a brain disorder marked by shaking and gradual loss of control of movement. One patient showed a "minor but permanent Improvement," Olson has reported; the other showed temporary improvement. V A - |
