Dally Grenada Action a total of 1,100 Cubans on the Caribbean island. Also resisting the Invaders were members of Grenada's Peoples Revolutionary Army and the volunteer mllltla, who feportedly were terrorizing civilians. "They're killing civilians up there," said a tearful Ann Gilbert, a Grenadian from the village of Fontenoy. She said Grenadian soldiers threatened to kill all residents of her village for refusing to shelter them. Military sources said the desire to limit U.S.

casualties was slowing down the progress of the invasion forces. "The guys want to go in with their bayonets but the commanders want it done with artillery," one source said. In Havana, the Spanish and Colombian representatives called on the United States and Cuba for an immediate ceasefire in Grenada to evacuate Cuban casualties, according to a Spanish embassy cable obtained by UPI. Col. Ken Barnes, Jamaican commander in charge of the 300-man Caribbean task force, landed with his forces on the Queens Park Oval cricket field north of St.

George's and began patrolling the capital to prevent looting. He said there was no word on military leader Gen. Hudson Austin, who had been reported by Barbados government officials to be holding hostages on Richmond Hill, just outside St. George's. Senate Works securities.

Treasury Secretary Donald Regan said that delay could cost the government $250 million in higher interest costs. In the past, when the debt limit deadline approached, the Treasury would warn that failure to extend the debt ceiling on time would result in the government not being able to meet the federal payroll or to make Social Security and unemployment benefit payments. No such warnings were issued this time because the government has an unusually large cash balance of $37 billion. But if the debt limit is not quickly extended, the government would be forced to postpone its sale of $16 billion in bonds and notes next week in addition to its $12 billion weekly bill sale Monday. The Senate attached amendments Friday to the bill that would: President Reagan obey the War Powers Resolution and pull American troops out of Grenada within 60 days unless Congress approves a longer stay.

Reagan to refuse to return 600 Cubans captured in Grenada to Cuban leader Fidel Castro unless he accepts the Cuban refugee criminals in U.S. jails who were part of the 1980 boatlift. U.S. Troops jectives on the island were secured," he said. "Scattered pockets of resistance remain and fighting is in progress." The admiral could give no firm estimate how long the operation might continue.

McDonald said 638 Cubans and 17 Grenadians have been taken prisoner but "there has been no attempt" by Cuba to send reinforcements to Grenada. U.S. forces now occupy most of Grenada's populated areas and the admiral did not rule out the possibility of setting up an American base on the island because of its strategic location as a guardian of the gateway into the South Atlantic. "Certainly, we're not planning at this time in using Grenada as a forward base," McDonald said. But, he said, "I won't rule it out." There were 49 Soviets, 24 North Koreans plus Bulgarians and East Germans on Grenada, he said.

Greier Haines, 40, of Hemet, was among the evacuees Friday. The Air Force said 12 planes have brought out 643 people since Wednesday; "I thought every day the PRA (People's Revolutionary Army) was going to come in and kill us because they are crazy. They shot into a crowd of school children with uniforms when they killed (Prime Minister Maurice) Bishop," Mrs.

Haines said. "We saw a helicopter shot down," said Cindy McKinney, 25, ofKnoxville.Tenn. 2 Youngsters Idaho and elsewhere from people concerned about the safety of relatives and friends in the quake area. Authorities also were on the lookout for looters in the damaged downtown sections of Challis and Ma'ckay, the two hardest-hit towns. Ms.

Markley stressed that the patrols were precautionary and that no looting had been reported. More than 70 aftershocks were reported with the strongest registering 5.5 in magnitude. Authorities said there were no major tremors overnight. The Friday morning quake rolled boulders the size of cars down the mountains. A bubbly new spring erupted on Chilly Butte.

A rip in the earth was created along the geological fault line for 10 miles between Challis and Mackay, creating a giant natural step that at one point is 10 feet high. "It'll still be visible a thousand years from now," said Paul Donaldson, a geophysics professor from Boise State University. "It may get smoothed out, but it will be a major scar on the earth's surface." Mackay Mayor Oryal Caskey, whose community suffered severe damage to about a dozen buildings, said, "It felt like just like Paul Bunyan picked you up and shook the hell out of you." To Peggy Parks of Challis, who was driving her car when the earth moved, "It was like someone was in the back jumping up and down." USSR Likens published by Tass said ample proof exists about the circumstances of the Grenada invasion to show that "a lot of blood and lies are on Washington's conscience." Tass said the United States no doubt intended to install a puppet regime in Grenada, the head of which "probably already was brought into the country in a trunk of a warship from the American fleet."

"It does not direct itself to the wisdom of our policy" in Grenada, Hart said. Administration officials have said they intend to get the U.S.

troops out of Grenada "as soon as possible" but' refuse to set a time limit. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. suggested the troops might have to remain for weeks. The administration has refused to acknowledge that the timetable provision of the war powers act applies to the Grenada operation, reflecting the executive branch's longstanding position that the law infringes on president's constitutional powers as commander in chief. Hart's amendment won the support of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Charles Percy, R- 111., who said it shows that "we take the War Powers Resolution seriously.

It is the law of the land." Sen. John East, opposed the amendment, however, saying the act threatens to prevent the president from taking "decisive, effective action" to prevent a hostage situation such as occurred in Iran. The House committee and Senate measures state that the War Powers Resolution became applicable Oct. 25, the day U.S. forces invaded the tiny Caribbean island.

In a related development, three Democratic senators introduced a resolution limiting the Marines to just three more months in Lebanon rather than the 18 months authorized in a measure passed Sept. 29. Sen. Edward Kennedy, one of the sponsors, said the iBmonth extension was "far too long" In view of the terrorist attack that killed more than 200 Marines. Reagan had sought to head off'a war powers confrontation with Congress over deployment of U.S.

troops in Lebanon by signing an agreement with lawmakers approving an jBmonth stay for the Marine peacekeepers. i -V V. 6.

Security sources said they found no clues suggesting the pro-Iranian suspect had links with either of the' two ex? tremist groups Western intelligence agencies said could have been involved in the attacks Sunday- They said the suspect was a low-level leader of one of the smaller militias active in the densely -populated SbUte Moslem slums of south Beirut. The two groups, the ShJlte Amal militia and its breakaway pro-Iranian factions known as the Islamic Amal have both denied responsibility for the attacks.

So have Jran and Syria. Bradfield Guilty, The three-week trial produced testimony by the defense that former school principal Jay C. Smith, not Bradfield, committed the crimes. Bradfield, who testified he and other teachers were at the New Jersey shore at the time of the slayings, also said in court Smith had a "hit list" of school officials and police that included Mrs. Reinert's name.

Smith, currently in prison on theft convictions, denied the accusations and has never been charged by authorities with the killings. He was not called to the witness stand. "This case proves that truth is stranger than fiction," Lock had told the jury. "It's every bit as strange as the Twilight This case will be beyond the boundaries of imagination." In 1981, Bradfield was convicted of fraud charges for swindling Mrs. Reinert of $25,000.

He later dropped his claims to her estate. CHICAGO (UPI) Supporters of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington bucked the Cook County Democratic Party leadership by withholding endorsement of Walter Mondale until the Rev, Jesse Jackson decides whether he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination. The leadership endorsed the former vice president Friday over the protests of black committee members who said the move would hurt the Cook County party. It was the first time in recent history that the powerful county organization and the mayor have split on a presidential endorsement. Black politicians warned the endorsement could create a "racial schism" in a political organization once known for its solidarity.

The former vice president, who was in Massachusetts Friday to accept the support of Democratic Gov. Michael Dukakis, was endorsed by a 21 margin in voting by mostly white ward and township committeemen. The nod came over the objections of black politicians who supported the mayor's position that an endorsement should not be made until Jackson decides whether he will seek the nomination. Jackson is expected to announce his candidacy Thursday in Washington, D.C. About 75 protesters gathered outside the hotel where the county organization met, calling for the resignation of city councilman Edward Vrdolyak as county party chairman.

"The people out there are saying to Eddie Vrdolyak and the Democratic Party 'You are shutting us said Aid. Danny Davis, one of the leaders of the demonstration. "Walter Mondale is the best candidate for the job," Vr- dolyak countered. "We're leaders. This is our guy."
