But the report noted the outlook for Madagascar's chief exports, coffee, cloves and vanilla, is not good. Net exports were down about 7 percent last year. And a cyclone season even worse than normal spells trouble. The last storm, in April, caused $250 million in damage and claimed more than 80 lives. The United States first had contact with Madagascar more than 100 years ago. France took the island when Britain relinquished any claims to it in the late 19th century. Up to 90,000 Malagasy, as the islanders are called, were killed when France brought in African troops to quell a nationalist uprising in 1947. "We suffered much." Ratsorala said. "I suffered very much. My father was almost killed in 1947. I wanted to get rid of this. I wanted to get our freedom, our liberty and our independence." France Dominated Even after independence in 1960, France dominated and drained the countrys economy, he contended. So Ratsiraka adopted a foreign policy that opened relations with the Soviet Union and China. But in the last three years France has provided half of Madagascars foreign aid and President Reagan has included the nation in a special aid program for nations opening their economies to free enterprise. Western diplomats say Ratsiraka has learned to expect little in outright aid from the Soviets. He rejected that conclusion, saying he has re G-- d Designers Expensive Re?taurant A 2B, 1984 Cardin to Open Cheaper Eatery in Peking - A MARSEILLE, France (UPI) disgruntled ice cream vendor finally lost his good humor and planted dozens of bombs on Riviera beaches he had been barred from for 10 years, his lawyer said this week. ceived generous loans and good deals on military hardware from Moscow. "Perhaps I don't get as much as I want because I am not Marxist enough and communist enough to have their confidence." Ratsirasa said. "You know my situation is very hard because the Western countries think I am too Marxist " Now Accept Sincerity The Western diplomats, initially suspicious of Ratsiraka's communist ties, now accept the sincerity of his and are pleased he has denied all superpowers the use of the magnificent French-buil- t z on the island's port of northern tip.

By Rick Gladstone Associated Press Writer PEKING For the average Chinese worker, a $44 dinner at Maxim's restaurant in Peking would be more than a month's wages. But now there's an alternative, Minim's, on the ground floor of Maxim's the elegant establishment opened last year by fashion designer and restaurateur Pierre Cardin. Although by no means cheap for the ordinary Chinese, the most expensive meal at Minims is a heaping plate of meats for $4.&4. The restaurant's mirfored ceiltables and ings, marble-toppe- d chairs reflect a W'estern bourgeois style that would have been unheard of a few years ago in China. But the Communist government has been slowly relaxing its puritanical standards as part of an effort to modernize the nation of 1 billion and encourage foreign busi- For a decade, Daniel Auclair fought in vain for permission to sell ice cream on private beaches of the fashionable coastal resort area of the Cote d'Azur. Three weeks ago, Auclair turned himself over to police, claiming he had planted bombs to blow up houses, campgrounds, boats and other tourist attractions" in the region. Auclair told police the waterproof bombs were on timing devices and e would begin detonating in over a period. No bombs have yet been found, police said. But Auclairs lawyer, Bernard Hini, said his client "has convinced me he has set the bombs. He is a determined person who takes things to the limit." Auclair turned over to police copies of receipts for ingredients he sard he used to manufacture the plum-colore- mid-Jun- two-mon- th Carrespect China, that is my way," din. 67, told reporters at the cafe's repli- rant.

The menu at Minim's includes such dishes as gazpacho for $3.25 and spaghetti bolognese for premiere.
