Mario Mardones, Santiago police commander, said: "He is definitely not coming here tonight. He is still in Paraguay. That's official." Mardones said he believed Stroessner was leaving Paraguay this morning, "but we do not know where to. Not necessarily Chile." Rodriguez was cheered by thousands as he took the oath of office and swore in a Cabinet. About 15,000 accompanied him to the Colorado Party headquarters and cheered again when he appointed Juan Ramon Chaves, 87, as party president, replacing pro-Stroessner militant Sabino Montonaro.

Rodriguez, however, said nothing about elections nor how long his provisional presidency would last. He spoke at his swearing-in ceremony and in a nationwide address hours earlier in which he declared he was "taking command of the country from this moment." Rodriguez, 64, commands the First Army Corps, the premier unit of the mostly conscript, army. Diplomats and political observers said his coup was provoked by Stroessner's attempt to force him to retire, his personal dislike for Montonaro and the growing influence of the military pro-Stroessner wing of the Colorado Party. Rodriguez took advantage of what observers said was widespread military resentment at the forced, and allegedly politically motivated, retirements of about 130 army colo nels and navy captains last month. Thursday night, shooting broke out at the corps' base in Loma Pyta, four miles north of the capital.

Soon after, 40 to 50 tanks rumbled out of the base heading downtown toward the headquarters of the police and Stroessner's presidential guard. "They didn't even ask us to surrender," said a member of the presidential guard, located next to the U.S. Embassy in a fashionable neighborhood of streets lined by fine homes and old mango trees. "They just opened fire and battered down the gates with small tanks." Army units around the country rallied to Rodriguez's side, and the lack of support for Stroessner was broadcast throughout the capital by Radio Primero de Marzo, which the rebels took over. By afternoon, Rodriguez was in Emissions Continued from Page One 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit to be at maximum efficiency, and older converters generally need to be near the high end of the range." Test machine operators "should be checking for stability if emissions levels are declining, they should keep reading," Van Cura said.

If that is not done, he said, "People out there could be spending money for nothing" on needless repairs and adjustments. Tucson resident John Koch complained this week that he did just that spent money for nothing. He said that after his tuned-up 1988 Ford Taurus failed the test, he took it to the Tucson dealer where he bought it. "They said it was OK, so I went back to the test station but failed again," he said. Next, Koch's Taurus went to a garage, where mechanics said it was in perfect tune and all other key elements were working properly.

"Then I went back to the test station and failed for a third time," he said. After discussing his problems with Tucson Environmental Quality officials, Koch said, he finally was given a waiver. Watson said the test length is set by a computer program and will remain at a 90-second maximum long enough for the state to obtain better failure rate figures. Jane Armstrong, senior project manager in the Environmental Protection Agency's Emission Control Technology Laboratory in Ann Arbor, said this week she spoke with Arizona officials about the problem. "We believe 90 seconds should be long enough," she said.

EPA and auto industry officials will come to Phoenix Thursday for further talks, Wrona said. More fine-tuning of the new test could come out of the meeting, she said. Waits in test-station lines, which generally are longer in the last days of months, averaged an hour at the 1 1 stations in Tucson and Maricopa County in the final days of January. Waits have dropped back to 30 to 40 minutes at the busiest stations and 10 to 20 minutes at others since February began, she said. Watson and Wrona urged motorists to have their vehicles tested early in the month to avoid longer lines.

Also, they said, motorists can call stations to get a recorded estimate of how long those in line are waiting for tests. The location of Tucson 1402 E. Benson Highway, 294-9703. 8125 E. 22nd 885-2305.

Moreno In report to parishioners CORRECTION in yesterday's Star wrongly said the plan would incorporate Green Valley by then. A pro-incorporation group has outlined a plan for Green Valley to accommodate up to 25,000 people by the turn of the century.

Also, Moreno has asked for no- or low-interest loans from other dioceses in the United States. During an August visit to the Vatican, Moreno told officials there that the Tucson Diocese was in economic trouble.

"The kernel (of the bishop's plan) is to make the fastest recovery as possible," said Fred Allison, the diocesan spokesman. Allison said the bishop declined to comment on the financial troubles until after talking directly with parishioners. "Sad and embarrassed" In the report, Moreno says, "I am sad and embarrassed because what we had hoped to accomplish by having a diocesan television station was not realized and because we have lost millions of dollars that we could have used specifically for our mission as a diocese and on many more things for the Lord and you." The report says KDTU has lost $13.9 million in its operating budget since going on the air Dec. 31, 1984. From the beginning, the diocese has contributed a couple of million dollars to the station.

Sixth Ave. and its equipment initially cost the diocese about $3.5 million. Allison said yesterday, "When we are able to say the total loss, we will." Besides making additional donations, parishioners will not be much affected by the financial strain, Allison said.

The diocese, though, will continue the moratorium it began in 1987 on meting out low-interest loans to parishes for Duilding expansion. Sale price has gone down Robert Nordmeyer, who was KDTU's general manager during diocesan ownership, said that a meteoric rise in programming costs when KDTU began operations ran up expenditures. Six months after going on the air, the diocese considered selling the station but had difficulty during the years agreeing on terms with potential buyers. If KDTU had been soWT early on, the deficit would not be nearly as great as it is, Allison said, because stations are selling for much less than they did a couple of years ago. Clear Channel officials did not know how much the deficit was until yesterday.

"We can make It a go" "I'm surprised that it was quite that much," said Lowry Mays, the president of Clear Channel Communications, the telvision branch's parent company. "I thought it would be eight to nine million (dollars). "We can make it a go We are in the broadcasting business; we can make do somewhat better." Since 1987 the diocese has terminated 32 employees 14 of whom did not work at the station. Further diocesan layoffs are not planned. Channel 18 was the first com-merial television station to be owned by a diocese in the United States.

The goal was to offer family-oriented programming. Station officials did not expect KDTU to break even in operating costs for three to eight years. Lindsay Schnebly, KDTU's creative director and a Catholic, said, "I'm sorry to see any organization that does so much good in any financial hardships." bumwu manager Business matters TNI Partners, agent for the Star: i "wident, 573-4255; KT7n Jario' dreutation director. 1slng miUlUlS: Br' director, Bein- Subscriptions and billing visi' 0" of our offices, ot? 5 7537 Broadway; or L80" Road; ooen 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
