From Associated Prtss reports
LIMA, Peru Gunmen abducted
and killed the powerful leader of the
nation's miners, police said Tuesday.
His communist-led labor movement
blamed the government and called a
national strike to protest the slaying.
Saul Cantoral and a female com
panion were stain Monday night on
a deserted street in a Lima slum,
police said. Cantoral led two crip
pling nationwide mining strikes last
year.
It was not known if Cantoral,
secretary general of the communist
led General Federation of Mine
Workers, was slain by Shining Path
leftist rebels or a new paramilitary
death squad, the Rodrigo Franco
Command.
The Shining Path has been fighting
for nine years to topple the elected
Bakeo- sells
From Associated Press reports
ROME Secretary of State
James Baker announced Tuesday he
will sell his holdings in a New York
bank and all his other publicly traded
stock, a move prompted by questions
from President Bush's ethics chief
about potential conflicts of interest.
Baker said the decision went "well
beyond" what was required by law
or had been recommended to him by

Marxist rule. The government says
more than 12,000 people have died
in the insurgency.
The Rodrigo Franco Command,
named after a government official
slain by the Shining Path, has vowed
to kill leftist guerrillas and their
supporters.
Police refused to provide details of
Monday's slayings.
The Lima newspaper La Republica
said a note left at the scene linked
the attack to the Shining Path. But
the Lima daily Expreso reported that
an anonymous caller claimed the anti
rebel Franco group killed the
unionist.
The mine federation, which repre
sents nearly all of Peru's 70,000
miners, called a news conference to
announce a one-day strike on Thurs
stock to avoid ethical chairses

Baker's decision, which a spokes
man said had been reached Saturday
but was announced only Tuesday,
came as Senate Foreign Relations

asked Baker more than a week ago
for additional detailed information
about his holdings.

day and to demand a government
investigation.
Victor Cuadros, vice president of
the miners' federation, blamed the
"government and enemies of the
working class" for the attack.
Cantoral last year led miners in a
one-month nationwide strike in July
and a two-month strike that ended
in December. Both strikes were failed
attempts to force the mining industry
to negotiate labor contracts jointly
with all mine unions rather than on
a company-by-company basis.
Owners of private mines charged
during the strikes that miners were
being manipulated by the Shining
Path.
Officials said the strikes caused
losses of $400 million, one-third of
Peru's yearly mining exports. Mining
is Peru's most important industry,
New York Corp., which has lent $4.5
billion to Third World nations.
As Bush's chief adviser on foreign
policy, Baker is certain to be con
fronted by the nagging problem of
the indebted nations and their stag
gering loans to Western and other
commercial banks.
While heading the Treasury
Department under President Reagan,
Baker developed the so-called Baker
plan, which called on Third World
nations to make good on their debts
as they restructured their sagging
economies. It called for new public
and private lending, and did not seek
to force the banks to forgive the loans.
Baker's stock holdings are in a
qualified blind trust. A trustee
controls the stocks and tells Baker
annually of the general nature of the
holdings.
Baker's spokeswoman Margaret
Tutwiler, traveling with him on a tour
of 15 NATO countries, said Baker
made the decision to direct his
trustees to sell the stocks Saturday

The newspapers quoted police as
saying Cantoral and the woman,
whose identity was not released, were
seized by gunmen in a car and
brought to Canto Grande, a Lima
slum.
The 42-year-old labor leader was
shot four times in the back and once
in the head, and the woman was run
over and killed by a car while
apparently trying to escape, newspap
ers said.

Minister Armando Villanueva con

eight-day trip.
Baker's wife Susan also will sell her
publicly traded stock. Stock held in
trust for their daughter, Mary Bonner
Baker, will also be divested, said
Tutwiler.
"I think it is the correct decision
for someone committed to meeting
the highest ethical standards," Baker
said in an announcement distributed
to reporters as he flew here from
Athens to meet with Italian officials.
The size of Baker's blind trust and
the market value of stocks that will
be sold was not disclosed by aides
traveling with him.
However, Baker's latest financial
disclosure form, filed with the Office
of Government Ethics last month,
puts a value of more than $250,000
on the assets held in the secretary's
qualified blind trust.
The form shows that the secretary
received "over $100,000" in income
from the trust during the time
covered, January through August of
1988.
Baker left the Treasury Depart
ment last summer to help Bush, then
vice president, campaign for the
White House.
The disclosure form also lists the
separate holdings of Mrs. Baker,
including 1,087 shares in Houston
Industries, with a value placed
between $15,001 and $50,000.

Central American presidents
track road to regional peace
From Associated Press reports
COSTA DEL SOL, El Salva
dor Five Central American
presidents agreed Tuesday to look
for a way to dismantle the contra
rebel army fighting the Sandinis
tas, but they stalled on a plan to
monitor Nicaragua's progress
toward democracy, officials said.
Verifying democratization in
Nicaragua is considered vital if the
Central American peace plan is to
be revived. Discord over the issue
arose shortly after the summit
began Monday and was never
resolved.
"The positions are fixed," a
high-ranking Costa Rican official
said as the presidents worked on
the summit communique.
Lack of an accord on the basics
for judging compliance was a
setback, but officials close to the
talks said the presidents salvaged
the two-day session with an agree
ment to break up the contra
apparatus constructed during the
eight years of Ronald Reagan's
presidency.
Paul Reichler, an American
lawyer who advises the Sandinis
tas, told reporters the presidents
committed themselves to drafting
within 90 days a plan for "disman
tling, demobilizing and relocating
the contras." He gave no further
details.
70 Iranian smugglers executed
TEHRAN, Iran Seventy
people convicted of drug smug
gling, three of them women, went
to the gallows Tuesday in the
largest daily execution toll since
Iran began a fierce anti-narcotics
campaign early in January.
Also Tuesday, Intelligence Min
ister Mohammad Rey-Shahri
announced a "heavy ruling" was
handed down against British
businessman Roger Cooper, who
has been jailed on charges of
spying for more than three years.
Rey-Shahri did not elaborate on
the ruling, saying only that judicial
authorities will pass final judg
ment later.
The drug traffickers were
hanged publicly in Tehran and 25
other cities, with all 67 men

Budget issues go to Congress .
WASHINGTON The Bush-,;

details on spending cuts and
insisted they be shaped through-,
