In Panama, a spokesman for a Nicaraguan rebel group claimed his forces overran a major town in southern Nicaragua on Thursday, killing 150 of the leftist govern- ment's troops, as well as a Cuban commander who was carrying a _Panamanian passport, That clash was the latest in a series of guerrilla attacks that Nicaraguan Interior Minister Tomas Borge called “the biggest offensive since the triumph of the revolution” in 1878. At a. news conference Thursday, Borge said the Sandinista government was engaged in a “war against im- perlalism.” Borge aleo said 219 government soldiers had been killed and 204 wounded by rebels in the last month. . Earlier Thursday, Nicaraguan Army Chief of Staff Joaquin Cuadra Lacayo recounted mine explosions in Nicaraguan waters in the last month and said it appeared the U.S.-directed mining operation had been halted. SHIPS DAMAGED Cuadra said of 18 mines that had’ exploded at Atlantic and Pacific ports, seven damaged 'coinniercial’” ships and wounded a total of 10 sallors, The other 11 mines were activated by the Nicaraguan navy to clear the harbors. “The possibility that mines remain is very remote, because they would have exploded already with the passing of ships. No new mines have exploded, But wé can’t rule out future mining, considering the prepotency of Mr. Reagan.” The last vessel to be damaged by a mine was the Japanese freighter Taushiro Mahuro, which hit a mine Marth 30 at El Bluff, an Atlantic . pert, The other harbors where mines exploded were Puerto Sandino and Corinto on the Pacific coast. CIA officials in Washington said the mining operation was com- pleted early this month, adding they doubted new mines would be placed because of the international furor that followed disclosure of the American involvement. - Late Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives joined the Senate in approving a non-binding resolution condemning the American role in the miring. REPORTS ATTACK ‘In Panama, Alvaro Altamirano, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Democratic Alliance, sald 1,500 alliance rebels overran the Nicaraguan city of San Juan del Norte, southeast of the capital, late Thursday, killing 150 government soldiers, Among those reported killed was a Cuban base commander whom Altamirano identified as Lino Mendoza.

About 20 women and a handful of men sported Chretien buttons at the late afternoon cocktall party _even though the women’s com- mission is urging ita members to remain uncommitted until the June conventlon. Chretien fleided a wide range of questions from what he would do to promote world peace to what should be done to improve the B.C, fishery to how to deal with the federal deficit. OPEN DIALOGUE — In response to a question about Canada’s role in promoting world peace, Chretien suggested opening a dialogue with the middle powers from both the Eastern bloc and from the West. | He said Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made the -firet step toward that with his visit to East Germany late last year. The minister sald he ‘favors no Intervention by the United States, Cuba or the Soviet Union into Central America, But said that would be in an ideal world. Realistically, Chretien sald, both stg powers are already there and ithe — problem now is how to get them out. : He said Canada must continue its - commitment to the.

On the issue of B.C.'s fisheries, Chretien sald he knows there is a severe problem with an = over- supply fishing boats, a Sereaning nurbber of fish, native Indians’ wish to have more rights to the fishery and continuing: negotiations between the United States and Canada over fishing quotas. But, he sald he is no expert and couldn't say what he as prime ‘minister would do te Improve the situation, He did, however, reject the suggestion of a Canadian merchant marine saying that it would only aggravate ‘the world over-supply of ships. The former finance minister said he isn't doctrinaire about the federal deficit. He rejects what he calls the myth that a deficit means * the dollar drops and the interest rate rises, Because Canadians save more money (12 to 1¢ per cent of their earnings) than Americans, ‘Chretien sald the deficit must be higher proportionally in order to recycle the economy.
