ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Spring thaws have opened the moun
tain supply routes of Moslem guer
rillas and the seasonal surge of
fighting in Afghanistan has begun
despite a U.N.-sponsored accord on
Soviet military withdrawal.
Leaders of the insurgencc, which
began after a communist coup in
April 1978, were not party to the
Geneva agreement announced last
week and have said repeatedly they
would continue the war.
Western diplomats said Tuesday
there was a sharp increase of military
activity in the past two weeks in
eastern Afghanistan near Pakistan.
About 3.5 million Afghan refugees
live in camps and cities just outside
Pakistan that serve as bases and
supply points for the guerrillas.
Insurgents overran seven Afghan
army posts in Logar province in the
first week of April, and Monday a
450-unit Soviet convoy including

more than 100 armored vehicles
headed south toward the province
from Kabul, the diplomats reported.
They said the level of fighting
appeared normal for early spring.
Radio Kabul reported that Afghan
guerrillas downed a Soviet-built
passenger plane near the Soviet
border on Sunday, killing all 29
people aboard.
Increased fighting also was
reported in Kandahar and Khost.
The withdrawal agreement is
expected to be signed Thursday in
Geneva by the Afghan government,
with Pakistan, the United States and
Soviet Union as guarantors. The
guerrillas were not invited to the
negotiations and Pakistan acted as
their representative.

were not clear, he said.

Under the accord to be signed in
Geneva, the Soviets agree to remove

Based on the figures given by
Vorontsov, the total Soviet force in
Afghanistan would be about 100,000.
Western sources have estimated it at
115,000.

No intruders were apprehended.
"In the confusion of the firing, the
intruders all escaped," said U.S. Air

Sconyers identified the Marine as
a corporal and a member of I

Regiment, which is based in North
Carolina and was sent to riot-torn

The slain man was part of a 12

the Panama Canal, said Sconyers.
The name of the victim was being

Afghanistan's second-largest city, and
said wounded government and Soviet
soldiers arrived in Kabul last week.
All sources spoke under condition of
anonymity.
Insurgents knocked out a govern
ment radio station in the city March
25 and later did the same to the
television station, diplomats said.
They said the radio station had not
resumed broadcasting by the first
week of April.
The sources also reported fighting
at Khost, the eastern garrison town
where Soviet-Afghan forces lifted a
guerrilla siege last January after
weeks of combat.
Diplomats reported a rise in con

at the Kabul airport, which they say

by the bullet, and the Marine suffered
massive internal bleeding, Sconyers
said.
Describing the incident as a "tragic
accident," Howard told reporters at
the Pentagon that it "occurred after
an apparent intrusion by six or eight
individuals into the tank farm area.
"U.S. security forces patrolling the
area split up and were in the process
of rejoining when a trip flare was set
off, sounding like gunfire," he said.
"In response, two elements of the
patrol fired. Seven rounds were
discharged before the on-the-scene
commander ordered a cease-fire.
Initial indications are that the fatal
gunshot wound was not the result of
hostile gunfire, but rather the result
of a crossfire from the U.S. shots
fired," he said.
"Details of the incident are sketchy
at this time," he said, and the matter
is under investigation.
Arab hijackers say 1 2 hostages
released as 'goodwill' gesture
From Associated Press reports
LARNACA, Cyprus Arab
hijackers of a Kuwaiti jet said
Tuesday they had released 12
hostages. A fuel truck was dis
patched to the aircraft and its
engines were started.
Reporters saw several people
get off the Kuwait Airways jet and
into three ambulances, which sped
away: Because of the darkness, it
was not possible to confirm how
many people were freed.
After they left the plane, a
hijacker told the tower the released
included two Palestinians with
Jordanian passports and 10 others
who were sick, poor or had
numerous children.
They said the releases were a
"goodwill" gesture but added also
that the Jordanian nationals were
freed as a "present to the uprising
in Palestine."
Shortly before the people left
the Kuwait Airways jet, its engines
started and loud bangs rang out
across the tarmac. Officials said
the noises were caused by the
engines.
The fuel truck halted a short
distance from the Boeing 747.
PLO and government negotia
tors drove up to the plane and held
talks with the hijackers.
The hijackers have repeatedly
demanded fuel for the jet, which
was hijacked a week ago.
Speakes 'speaks out
WASHINGTON The White
House said Tuesday that President
Reagan was upset and that it was
an "outrage" that former presiden
tial spokesman Larry Speakes had
made up quotes and given them
to reporters as Reagan's words.
"Everyone is appalled that he
made up quotes," said spokesman
Marlin Fitzwater, who replaced
Speakes 14 months ago.
In a kiss-and-tell book, "Speak
ing Out," that has riled White
Drug
to hear that Mantey had been using
mushrooms.
"Dave seemed too smart to do
something like that," he said. "There
must be other people who know
about it because , Dave . didnt go
looking for shrooms."
Mantey had never used mush
rooms, Demas said. "I'm guessing
that this was his first time and he
overdid it."
It's possible that the mushrooms
Mantey took were treated with LSD,
Demas said. "I would not be surprised
if those shrooms that Dave took were
laced," he said.
While he hopes others will learn
from Mantey's death, Demas said
that doesn't make dealing with it any
easier.
"It's a damn shame that Dave had
to be the one who teaches the lesson,"
he said.
Most students interviewed, who
didnt know Mantey, agreed that his
death would probably do very little
to prevent the use of mushrooms.
"You go through a period of about
two weeks where everyone's talking
about drug prevention," said Nevaina
Graves, a freshman from Asheville.

News in Brief
House officials, Speakes disclosed
that he made up a widely-reported
statement that was attributed to
Reagan during his first summit
with Soviet leader Mikhail Gor
bachev in 1985.
In another instance, when a
Korean Air Lines passenger jet
was shot down by the Soviets in
1983, the president "had almost
nothing to say" during meetings
with the Cabinet and congres
sional leaders, Speakes said. So,
he said he took statements made
by Secretary of State George
Shultz and attributed them to
Reagan.
Speakes had no reaction to the
White House statements. "I'd be
better off not to comment," he said
in a telelphone interview from
New York, where he is vice
president for communications at
Merrill Lynch Corp.
Teaching reform questioned
NEW YORK - A decade of
school reform has produced stacks
of legislation, higher teacher pay
and tighter teaching requirements
but has left unresolved whether
teachers are full-fledged profes
sionals, a report says.
"By sheer volume of legislation,
it is clear that teaching has been
reformed,'" said the 80-page
Rand Corp. report, "The Evolu
tion of Teacher Policy," released
Monday.
"Teaching policy is up for grabs
and there are lots of people
grabbing," it said.
The net result of hundreds of
education-related bills enacted
during the past decade has been
contradiction and confusion, con
cluded the report by researchers
Linda Darling-Hammond and
Barnett Barry.

"But after he's buried and everyone
has stopped crying, the drug use goes
on."
Several students said if there had
been some evidence of mushroom use
earlier, Mantey's death could have
had more of a preventive effect.
Ginny Twiselton, a junior from
Greensboro, said students would
have taken more notice "if the impact
of his death had hit at the same time
as the impact of the drugs."
Mushrooms are so widespread and
accessible on the UNC campus,
students said, that one death
however tragic will have little
impact.
"It's such an isolated incident," said
Tom Cuthbertson, a freshman from
Charlotte.
Freshman Monique Merriweather
of Raleigh said she hopes Mantey's
potential for a bright future would
make students consider the effects of
mushroom use.
"It may help awareness because he
had a lot to live for," Merriweather
said. "If the fact that he was using
drugs is told like it is, maybe it will
make people aware that drugs can
hurt you."
