Show Argentina Says World's Oldest Person It Will Pav Celebrates Ilis 119th Friday was a day like any other for Interest Debt for breakfast at m a Shigethivo Izumi iN imi- - (In M. Itv n.ic, ll.iiikkeltli.ini The Salt Lake Tribune TOKYO (AP) 5 30 soup - tina announced Friday that an accord had been reached with creditor banks on payment of overdue interest on the nation's $43 6 billion foreign debt. Economics Minister Bernardo Grinspun said Argentina would supply $225 million from its hard currency reserves to help meet the payments due by Saturday. He said creditor banks would approve a loan of $125 million for a term, renewable on expiration. The other $100 million to meet the roughly $450 million owed in overdue interest was deposited a week ago with creditor banks in the United States. Meeting Deadline The actions announced by Grin-spu- n at a news conference will allow Argentina to meet another critical deadline for safeguarding its international credit. Settlement of the the interest payments was important because Argentina was involved in a confrontation with the international financial community over terms of paying back the debt. The government of President Raul Alfonsin has resisted the austerity measures international financiers want him to impose. He has argued that the measures will make inflation worse and endanger Argentina's fledgling democracy. Had Argentina allowed the debts to be defaulted, it could have set a precedent for the other countries that owe hundreds of billions of dollars in debts and are struggling to find ways to handle the debt burden. Emergency Loan The $100 million Argentina deposited with creditor banks in the United States was left over from an emergency loan made to Argentina in March. Grinspun said. Argentina had been reluctant to dip into its hard currency reserves, estimated at $1.5 billion, to make the entire payment. If the interest was not paid by Saturday, the debts would pass into the category of the creditor banks ledgers and the expected interest subtracted from the statements. banks Friday was the last banking day before the deadline. y profit-and-lo- Grinspun also said an agreement had been reached to extend by 30 days the deadline for paying back a million loan from creditor banks and a $350 million loan from Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil. Those loans were made March 30 to cover overdue interest that had to be paid on that date. $100 . walk in the garden and a little television. It was also his 119th birthday.

' to--- Full of Bones Rebel Prelate Ordains 25 Priests ECONE. Switzerland (APj Rebel Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre ordained 25 new priests of his tradi- tionalist movement Friday, urging them to help "rebuild the Roman Catholic Church. The ceremony was held in defiance of a 1976 Vatican ban forbidding him to say Mass or administer sacraments. Less than two weeks ago Pope John Paul II ordained nine priests at a Mass at Sion, eight miles away, during a pastoral visit to Switzerland. The Lefebvre made no mention in his sermon of the papal visit. Adhering to a verbal truce with the Vatican during the reign of the present pope, he avoided open attacks on the Roman Catholic Church like those that marked his earlier homilies. But he spoke against "fables deceiving the human mind. which he said included "ecumenism and the propagation of human rights." These errors tend to remove the crown of the Lord, he said. His remarks apparently were a reference to John Pauls meeting with leaders of the World Council of Churches at Geneva during which the pontiff said the Roman Catholic Churchs involvement in the ecumenical movement was "irreversi- alker said one team found a site lull of primate bones, including w even cry bone from the hand bone from the feet, the breast bone, ribs, parts of the skull, the teeth, every thing. except tail "We didn't find a single tail hone W Smiet in Sapporo 20-Year-- Dancer Reportedly Asks for Asylum TOKYO (AP) - A 2U-- v ear-ol- d So- viet ballet dancer asked for political asylum at the U.S. Consulate in Sapporo.
