EVENING JOURNAL, Lubbock, May 25, World roundup Curfew enforced after Haiti rioting deaths PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Soldiers enforced an overnight curfew today in Gonaives, Haiti's fifth largest city and the scene of two days of bloody riots against the iron-fisted government of "Baby Doc" Duvalier. "The city is under milUary occupation at this moment," said a teacher who asked to remain anonymous late Thursday. Sources in the west coast city of Gonaives reported "numerous arrests and several people dead," although it was impossible to determine how many. The disturbances were sparked Wednesday with the public beating of a woman by a policeman and expanded "into widespread demonstrations against the government of Prcsident-lbr-Lifc Duvalier residents said. 29 injured in Northern Ireland courtroom fight BELFAST, Northern Ireland Police say 20 people were injured in a courtroom brawl that broke oiit when an informer was jeered during proceedings for 31 people accused of terrorism linked to (he IRA.

A press officer at Belfast police headquarters said 17 defendants and 12 police officers were injured. Witnesses said the violence at Crumlin Road Court in Belfast broke out when magistrates ordered police to clear the public gallery after people there and some of the defendants in the dock began jeering police informer Harry Kirkpatrick. Police also announced Thursday they had found six caches of suspected terrorist munitions in County Tyrone, including two tons of homemade explosives. China plans to station troops in Hong Kong PEKING (AP) China will station troops in Hong Kong after re- gaming sovereignty over the British colony in 1097. the Foreign Ministry quoted top Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping as saying today.

The remarks, which contradicted a Chinese official's earlier statement that Peking would not base troops in Hong Kong, had an immediate impact in the capitalist port city. Within an hour; the Hong Kong stock market index slumped ISO points, before rising slightly. I 'I IIWWV, fyilJV I 7 OH Report cites coverup in killings WASHINGTON (AP) nnro hinmnlf i WASHINGTON (AP) Salvadoran Defense Minister Eugcnio Vides Casanova "quite possibly" acquiesced in an official coverup of National Guard personnel involvement in the 1980 slayings of four American churchwomen in El Salvador, according to an independent report. The report, prepared for the State Department by retired U.S. District Judge Harold Tyler, says ranking National Guard officers maintained the coverup for five months but their effort was thwarted when the American Embassy identified the killers through its own investigation.

The study was completed last December but the State Department, concerned that its release might prejudice the judicial process, did not make it public until Thursday after a Salvadoran court convicted five former National Guardsmen for the murders. During his visit here this week, Salvadoran President-elect Jose Napoleon Duarte indicated he plans to rcappoint Vides Casanova to the defense post because of his support for the democratic process in El Salvador. He also expressed doubt that Vides Casanova was involved in any attempt to cover up the investigation into the slayings of the three nuns and one Catholic lay worker. But the report says that Vides Casanova, then head of the National Guard, was "evasive" during interviews with Tyler and his colleagues and "professed a disturbing lack of knowledge" of the case. Even though he apparently received reports of the investigation, "Vides Casanova attempted to dist- ance himself as completely as possi blc from all investigations of the crime." The report says that Vides Casanova appointed a National Guard major to investigate the case.

"It seems unlikely," the study says, "that a mid-level officer would have undertaken the obstructive actions he did without the approval or encouragement from someone higher." However, the five guardsmen were arrested on Vides Casanova's orders in ApriPlDBl under U.S. pressure after American officials presented their names to Salvadoran officials, the report says. The report hails the "courageous" effort of American government personnel in exposing the coverup and said it is doubtful the perpetrators ever would have been brought to justice without their intervention. In the immediate aftermath of the killings, the report says, "the first reaction of Salvadoran authorities was, tragically, to conceal the perpetrators from justice" despite promises of a full and complete investigation. The report says evidence available to the United States shows beyond question that one of the five guardsmen, Luis Antonio Colindrcs Alcinan, confessed his involvement to ranking members of the National Guard within days of (he murder.

Salvadoran officers transferred SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (APt Two top rightist military commanders are being assigned to duties abroad, in an apparent gesture of conciliation towards President- elect Jose Napoleon Duarte. Both officers have been linked in published reports to El Salvador's rightist death-squads, which human rights groups blame for most of tiic civilian deaths since the civil war began in 1979. The two have denied the accusations. A military communique Thursday said Col. Nicolas Carranxa, director of the Treasury Police, will be defense attache in West Germany and Mario Denis Moran is going to the U.S.

Defense College in Washington. The Treasury Police is the security agency most often accused by watchdog groups of human rights violations. and Moran. an army commander in La Paz province, are members of a group of rightist offi- cers that, military sources say, the new administration wants to remove from active service. One source, who spoke on condition he not be named, said the changes, "more than anything, came because of pressure from the United Stales." He said Defense 1 Minister Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova also ordered the changes as a conciliatory move toward Duartc.

Moran's military jurisdiction included Xacatecoluca, a town southeast of the capital, where five former national guardsmen were convicted Thursday of murdering four American churchwomen Dec. 2, The U.S. Embassy in a statement said "the prosecution these murderers shows thai the Salvadoran criminal justice system can bcinadi! to work." A jury of five ended the 20-hour trial at dawn, convicting Hie defendants of aggravated homicide, aggravated destruction of properly and thefl. The homicide charge carries a maximum scnlciuv of years in prison. Judge Bernardo Rauda Murcia has in days to pass sentence.

The sentence can be appealed, but not the verdict. The death penalty was abolished last year. Administration expected to push aid compromise 1 niiMiiijur.s 01 a group 01 Soviets say U.S. sub reports misleading MORPnVV (IIPIl A nf MOSCOW (UPI) A buildup of Soviet submarines off American shores has diminished and the Reagan administration is trying to mislead the public by playing clown the threat, the Soviet Union says. Soviet Delen.se Minister Dmitry Ustinov, earlier this week said the increased submarine deployments were among measures the Soviets had taken in response to the NATO Deployment of U.S.

cruise and Pcrshing-2 missiles in Western Europe. The official news agency Tass Thursday said the United Stales was playing down the importance of the increased deployments and accused Reagan of "misleading" the people by belittling the importance of Soviet military coiinlermeas- ures." As a result of the Soviet countcrmeasures, Tass said, "the security of the United States has diminished." On Sunday, Ustinov said the submarines posed a threat to the United States that was proportional to the threat created by the U.S. missile deployment in Europe. Administration officials in Washington dismissed the deployments as nothing new. A Pentagon spokesman said the additional Soviet submarines moved into the Atlantic Ocean in February and arc militarily insignificant.

Tass said the removal of cruise and Pcrshing-2 missiles from Western Europe would eliminate the need for the Soviet counter-measures. "This would meet the needs of everyone, including the United States itself," the official news Death toll keeps growing in Hindu-Moslem riots agency said. Tass' statement came as Soviet leader Konstantin Chcrnenko dealt with a problem on another continent: North Korean President Kim II Sung. Chcrnenko held talks with Kim in'the Kremlin and later, at a state dinner, said the Soviet Union supports a reunified Korea and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the southern half of the divided penninsula.

"The Soviet Union consistently stands for Korea to be reunified by peaceful means, on a democratic basis, after the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea," he said. Western diplomats saw the meeting with Cherncnko as a possible healing of the rift between the two communist countries. WASHINGTON (AP) Congress is getting ready for a holiday recess, but the Reagan administration will be busy lobbying with individual legislators to vote for emergency aid to U.S.-backed rebels in Nicaragua. The Democrat-controlled House on Thursday approved a proposal to send military aid to the Salvadoran armed forces, but coupled it with a ban on any more spending this fiscal year for Nicaraguan guerrillas. At the White House, deputy press secretary Larry Spcakes said'thc administration wanted both the million in aid for El Salvador and the $21 million approved earlier by the Republican-controlled Senate" for support of the anti-Snndinista rebels in Nicaragua.

Faced with the impasse, Senate Majority Leader Howard II. Baker announced dial the Senate would lake no action until after reluming June '1 from ils Memorial Day recess. The White House is expected lo spend I he recess lobbying both House and Senate members in an attempt to arrive at a compromise close to the Senate figure. BOMBAY, India (AP) Two people were stabbed to death, a bomb exploded near a police station and about 20 huts were set afire early today in continuing Hindu-Moslem violence, authorities said. The nine-day death toll reached 210.

"The situation suddenly worsened around midnight, and several stabbing incidents were reported," Bombay Police Commissioner J.F. Ri- bcirosaid. A bomb exploded in the street under the police station in Bombay's Pydhoni section but no casualties were reported, and police said about 20 shacks in the Govandi section of northeast Bombay were set on fire. Police spokesman P.M. Sawant said the official nine-day death toll reached 210 with the discovery of more decomposed bodies in the city of Bhiwandi, 35 miles northeast of Bombay.

So far, he said, 104 people had died in Bhiwandi and the rest in Bombay itself and towns on its northern outskirts. The rioting, which broke out May 17 in Bhiwandi and quickly engulfed other areas in Ihe western Indian state of Maharashtra, was the first widespread religious violence ever in Bombay, a major commercial center and port with a population of 8.5 million. The violence was believed triggered by alleged insults to Moslems by the Shiv Sena, a Bombay-based Hindu militant Its leader purportedly made disparaging remarks against the prophet Mohammed and said Moslems would endanger Indian unity. Moslems make up 11 percent of India's estimated 750 million population. MEMORIAL DAY SALE!
