UPI Chairman Luis Nogales, in a written message, said the firm had reached an agreement in principle" with its major lender to cover the wages, likely by early next three-day-ol- pre-daw- week, and to continue the firms recapitalization plan. As part of that plan, UPI, which owes creditors about $20 million, plans to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. UPIs board of directors agreed to take the action Friday and sources said the filing would likely occur Monday in Washington. UPI, the world's largest privately owned news service, issued a statement late Saturday, following several d n Vote Against Contra Aid Draws Harsh Criticism From Shultz WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State George Shultz is blaming Congress for turning Nicaragua into a privileged sanctuary from which communists are free to subvert other He said Congress rejection of $14 million in aid to the Contras renders the United States not able to support those who are fighting for freedom in Nicaragua. By law we non-leth- Central. American countries. In an interview with U.S. News and World Report, Shultz used his harshest language yet to criticize last week's congressional action killing all aid to the rebel Contras fighting against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista regime. Congress has tied our hands completely insofar as extending any support at all for people supporting those ideas within Nicaragua, Shultz said in this week's edition of the news magazine. As far as the president is concerned, were going to continue to support democracy and rule of law and economic development throughout Central America," Shultz said in the interview. cant do it.

But were going to work hard to keep the situation from unraveling. Shultz also repeated an analogy he first made in a State Department speech on Thursday, linking the situation in Central America with U.S. experience in Vietnam. In the interview, he took the parallel a step further, asserting that the killing and repression suffered by the Indochinese after the United States pulled out could be repeated in Central inquiries, that to reduce operating costs it was eliminating about 100 positions. Dismissed employees, equally divided between editorial and and spread nationwide and in Europe, were notified of their fate late Friday and early Saturday in telegrams or calls from Western Union. The company said in its statement that it has taken steps to increase revenues by passing through a 9.9 percent increase in rates to subscribers. "Nogales wrote to subscribers last week explaining that the increase and the company's staff and cost reductions were essential elements in the recapitalization plan, the statement said. The letters are to arrive early this week, but UPI said it already has notified most of its subscribers to explain the action. The company said it has received a favorable response. The Wire Service Guild, which represents employees, said it received a telegram from UPI Saturday morning that said 30 employees were being fired immediately in the following bureaus: Pierre, S.D.; Rapid City, S.D.; Lincoln, Neb.; Minneapolis; New Haven, Conn.; Augusta, Maine.; Concord, N.H.; Albuquerque; Little Rock, Ark.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Reno; Boise; Helena, Mont.; Anchorage, Alaska; Juneau, Alaska; Spokane, Wash.; and o :a a 0 Honolulu.
