(Journal photo) By EDNA STELXMAN Winrock Center, a $10 million expression of confidence in the future of Albuquerque and New Mexico, will be a great boost to business In the city, said George Reynolds, president of Winrock Enterprises, The center, financed by Winrock Enterprises, is opening for business today, "We are seeking to increase business in Albuquerque and are not trying to divide what already is here," Reynolds said. The center, he said, will help establish Albuquerque as the leading shopping city for New Mexicans. Due to its convenient loca tion, Winrock Center will bring more out-of-town shop-pert to Albuquerque, he added. Opening of the proposed Coro-nado Freeway, which will pass by the center, will be an added influence.

Because of Its size, Winrock is a regional not a neighborhood- shopping center and has drawing power from, beyond the city, Reynolds commented. Although there has been a business decline throughout the country this past winter, Reynolds predicts the new center will encourage an increasing volume of business in Albuquerque. "We are confident sometime this year we will pull out ofl this recession, he said. Winrock officials feel the center will more than meet its projected voliftne of business for the remainder of 1981. In two.

to three years, the center Is expected to do $23 million to $30 million dollars of business annually. Reynolds contlden the growth of Albuquerque and New Mexico has been phenom-inal during the past 10 years and he expects it to double in the coming decade. If Albu querque is to keep pace with other. cities of the southwest it must do everything possible to attract new industry. Albuquerque has a heavy industries suitable to the environment.

Opening of Winrock Center, with 1200-1500 persons on its crv.rr Fe Bureau One Goes Up, One Spreads Out which runwayt, taxlwayi and other airport facilities are now located, City Manager Edmund Engel explained Tuesday. It does not want the Air Force to return land on which Kirtland base military facilities are lo cated. The conclusion that the city wanted "all" of the land which it deeded to the military in 1950 was drawn by the Journal from a statement in an airport progress report submitted by EngeLThe statement said "the major conclusion reached at the conference (between the city and federal aviation authorities) was that the amount of land In which the city needs a property Interest is greater than the amount of land origin ally conveyed by the city to the United States Explanation Given It was explained Tuesday that the additional land men-tinned is that on which the Air Force has extended runways since 1850, Engel said Tuesday most of the runway configuration is on land deeded to the Air Force In 1050. The city will ask the Air Force for property interest, in the lands In order to qualify! clamp a rigid curfew on this city, second largest in Algeria. The rioting shattered hopes for calm while France makes a new effort to end the nearly seven-year-old war with Algerian rebels.

The mob of about 250 youths, marching behind a green and white rebel flag, went into a screaming rage at the sight of three Europeans in a car. Prevent Escape They overturned the car, poured gasoline on it and aet it afire. They prevented the efforts of the occupants to escape and shoved them back into the flames. A police patrol, attracted by the screaming, finally scattered the mob. When the car was opened, the two women were dead.

The driver, the husband of one of the vctims, wss crit ically burned but still alive. Officials Identified the three as Mr. and Mrs. Antolne Kyri-cos, about 50, and a Mrs. Sa-gura, a 51-year-old widow.

Cites Need of Interest The Federal Aviation Agency has said the city cannot qualify for federal aid unless they have such interest in the runway area. The city also deeded the government additional adjacent land on which Kirtland Air Force Esse facilities are situated.

Engel said the city is concerned only with obtaining property Interest in the airport lands "not the air base." Over the last several years, various reports on the airport problem have mentioned that the city would have to seek revisions In the original quitclaim deed in order to qualify for federal aid.
