Guerrilla radio claimed that. high-ranking national guard officers, with United States approval, are plotting to overthrow President Anastasio Somoza, assassinate his helr-ap- parent son and establish a new U,S.-backed govern- ment. ot The Sandinista report - could not be confirmed, One of Somoza’s own top aides told reporters. during the weekend, however, that the Carter administration in Washington Is trying to turn the military against the embattled Nicaraguan leader. + Meanwhile, two U.S. military helicopters are standing by in Liberia, Costa Rica, U.S, officlals sald the helleopters were flown In from the Panama Canal Zone to respond to any re- quest for an emergency evacuation of U.S, embassy staff members, A US. official who asked not to be named said Pez- zullo told his staff that “the next 24 hours are critical.” The U.S., along with most of Latin America, has called on Somoza to resign as a way of ending the civil war. While Pezzullo has met here repeatedly with Somoza, other U.S, diplomats have enlisted the help of Latin American goverments to try to win concessions from the Sandinista guerrillas, Washington, which long supported the Somoza regime, wants the San- dinistas to expand their five- member provisional government to dilute the power of its three leftist members. The Sandinistas, tasting military victory, thus far have rejected this proposal. The guerrilla radio broadcast about the pur- ported plans for a military coup was monitored in Managua, It sald without elaboration that Sandinista Intelligence sources had uncovered the plot. The broadcast claimed . B that the Jeaders of the plot —- three generals and two colonels — would arrest Somoza and confine him in an area close to the U.S. embassy. The U.S. would then recognize the new government, it claimed. The broadcast said 37 other military officers would take part in the plan and that a colonei, would be assassinated interviewing: refugees day and night until] ° : ‘hourly increase of 66 cents in : ‘p.m. ‘ferry from Horseshoe four of the stragglers were ' the first year and 58centsin But Gribbong said he Bay to Departure,Bay. . taken into custody because the ee op expels ~ didn’t, think pee workers ane 5 kesman auld that they were drunk in 1 public he: age OF" Rapes, ed ‘allow: cross. after-they . boarded ie ce and were. beld in, ‘balary'is $6.03 ait how. ° picket ve the terminals ferry’s first officer refused until they sobered ‘up i "WHAT I THE FASTEsT THING IN THI AREA? a sae : inet a ne ee . 7 ee aA A aN AY a 1a esretag SAAR Ree cae A gal who just read a great sale ad in...
