-THK BROWNSVII.I.K HERAU)--Wednesday, June 30, 1976 Latin Terrorism Poisons Relations By WILLIAM G1ANUONI Copley To judge by Ihe alrocily i current in Latin America these days, most i Ihe victims of government repression die in Argentina, Chile or Uruguay. Occasionally there are reports of murders by the "Death Squadrons" in Brazil. Once in awhile, but not often, there are brief dispatches announcing that police or army troops in one country or another clashed with "bandits" in Ihe mountains and that there were losses on one side or both. But not much more. Docs that mean that the rest of the hemisphee nations enjoy domestic peace? Definitely not.

What it docs mean is that i propagandists are working effectively to poison inter-American relations, particularly those between the United Stales and its few friends in Latin America. There is no doubting that people die in encounters with the police in Buenos Aires, Santiago and Montevideo, just as they die in Washington, Mexico City and all other capitals. But that does not make violent death a government policy. Take Argentina, for example, In March, the Argentine armed forces removed Mrs. Maria Estela Martinez de Pcron from the presidency she had inherited from her late husband, Gen.

Juan Domingo Peron. The attractive former night dub entertainer had demonstrated to the satisfaction of all Argentines a not even she could govern Argentina. That surprised no one who recalled that of Ihe 10 men who preceded her in the Argentine presidency not one was able to serve a full term. There are Argentines who say the country has been ungovernable about three decades now. One of the complaints against Mrs.

Peron's regime was that it had not been abir to con- trol the terrorism that Peron himself had encouraged against the military governments that ran the country before his return from exile. Gen. Rafael Videla, now president, has tried to crack down on extremists of the right and left but, as the June 19 assassination of the chief of the federal police, Gen. Cesfrin Cardoza suggests, has not had any great success. Investigations indicate that the bomb that killed Ihe general was placed under his mattress by one of his daughter's girl friends.

Quite obviously, terrorists who are clever enough to become friendly with Ihe family of one of Argenlina's i officials are capable of, say, sacrificing a few foreign political refuges to damage A i a international image. In Uruguay's case, the loudest voice being raised against the military-dominated government is that of former Senator Wilson Ferreira A a leader of the Uruguayan opposition in exile. Ferreira recently came to the United Stales to testify before a congressional subcommittee on the situation in Uruguay. He told reporters that the YUGOSLAV PLANS BELGRADE, (UPI) A tnvet agency plans to trwport about 200,000 tourists, mot of them foreigners, on its own In the Adriatic, including regular ferry-boat cornKtinm between northern Yugoslavia and Venice. The Atlas agency at Dubrov- rik operates with seven clua- cal ships and six hydrofoils on routes linking islands with the Yugoslav mainland The Manns ferryboat, which can carry 500 passengers, will sail from the Istrla peninsula to Venice.

recent ouster of President Juan Marts Bordaberry by the Uruguayan armed forces was a plot hatched by the U.a State Department to prolong the military dictatorship in his country. What he did not bother to mention is that, in 1J7S, his sympathies were with the Tupamaro terrorists who had been ravagin Uruguay for years. Or at least that is what one would conclude from his complaint then that Hector Amodio Perez, a Tupamaro defector, "has been conspiring with some army officials to carry forward a plan lending i a i institutions into disrepute and consolidate military power through a coup 1 etal." It was information obtained from Amodio that enabled the armed forces to crush the Marxist-led Tupomaros. What would seem to place into perspective the extent of alleged government repression in both Uruguay and Chile, at one and the same time, was the announcement by Amnesty International, a private organization, that in the last four years persons have died in Uruguay as a result of official torture, Ivan Morris, president of the Amnesty International affiliate in the United States, declared that "torture in Uruguay is the most extreme and widespread in the world." He went on to say I hat the torture deaths in Uruguay "make the violations of human rights that occurred in Chile look small." In Chile, apparently a goodly number of Ihe hemisphere's foreign ministers, who assembled in Santiago for the General Assembly of the Organization of American Stales, were able to see for themselves lhat the reports of terror rampant in the streets were gross exaggerations. Costa i a Foreign Minister Gonzalo Facio (old newsmen in the Chilean capilal that "Ihe impression that one draws from being here is not that of a police state."

French In Montreal Full Of Mannerisms By DON FREE MAN Copley Newsservice MONTREAL As Ihe man was saying on the television, French is an extraordinary language with some terrific tuances. The man on TV was giving lesson, which seemed strange because even the smallest of children here in Montreal are so smart they speak French like a professor. "Give regard to the matter of the insult," the man said.

"If one should call you 'a pig' in French, lie would say that you are 'espcce de cochon' literally a kind of a pig but means 'alleged. 1 Thus, in French, the insult doesn't libel anyone." Working in French would obviously put a damper on Don Rickles. Actually, the French spoken in Montreal is full of local mannerisms and idoms and is given short shrift by the purists of Paris. But then, the Parisians really don't care for much of anything outside of Paris. "The Parisians are secure in Some Canning Lids Could Be Hazardous ByJOANMURARO CopleyNews Service With a i lids, the situation in recent ycarshas run from feast tc famine; with unreliable canning lids, the choice can be expanded to include a funeral.

Home economists, pleased to see an apparent abundance of the lids this year, are less enthused about the hazards which may be posed by seme of the newer types. Particularly, they a home canners should beware of some which are being advertised as "reusable." Judy Troflgruben, food and nutrition specialist for the University of Illinois Extension Service, that the traditional two-piece lid has been joined this canning season by one-piece caps, three-piece closures, plastic lids and plastic ring bands, and lids which uso plastic inserts or cardboard liners. The three-piece closure hfisn'tbcen a round long enough (okfcow for sure if it is reliable, she says, but adds that no lid tver be used forasecond time no matter what thectaims for it. A won: gasket can prevent an adequate seal if it is reused. Lids are usually bent when being removed, so they will not fit flat enough on the jar to sealthesecond time around.

Theiraditional two-piece lids, no matter what brand, should be reliable, she says, boih the type using', self-sealing lids with screw hands or the porcelain-lined zinc cap units with rubber rings. One-piece caps are reliable (or onetime use, but care should be used not to screw them on loo lightly, the home economist says. Home canners stote avoid plastjc lids, completely flat or very, thin metal lids', lids with uneven gaskets, or those with plastic or cardboard inserts, and should never use commercial jars and closures when home canning, Mrs. Trof- tgruhen warns. Peanut butter, mayonnaise and pickle jars are designed only for commercial use, are not usually tempered for estra strength and may break duringprocessing.

For safety, she adds, canners should not buy any closures unless the manufactuerer's name and address and complete inst ruction for use are included in or on the package, and lids which cannot be inspected before purchase should not be bought. Properl.v. lids should be of sturdy metal, have a deep side groove to fit the jar lip, and auniform gasket. In other areas of home canning, she said the current recommendations for home canning tomatoes include usu 10 either a quarter teaspoon of citric acid, or one teaspoon of bottled lemon juice, or one teaspoon of vinegar to each pint, if canning by the water bath method. Instead of increasing acidity, tomatoes may safely be processed in a pressurecanncr, she said, using five-pounds pressure for eight minutes if a or five-pounds pressure for 10 i for raw-packed tomatoe in ei her quarts or pints.

Until recently, Mrs. Trof- tgruben said, it had been assumed that tomatoes contain enough acid to be safely canned in a water bath canner but recent cases of botulism from home-canned tomatoes have Indicated some can be tow in acid due to the variety, the climate or soil. Yellow, cherry and overripe tomatoes should not be canned, she warned. their knowledge of one essen- th! Keywcsd Hale Broun once said. "They are certain that God speaks French." I am here on an ABC pre-Olympics press trip, examining the sites for this summer's telecast, and am also learning about local customs.

For instance, the province of Quebec La Belle Province spends millions each year on its Office of the French Language, which is in the vanguard of the struggle to save the tongue of Zola and Voltaire and Robert Clary from subversion at the hands of "les Anglais." Dread signs of ominous decay are everywhere -Coca-Cola is edging out the famed Quebec cider, the "chansons" are yielding to Elton John. And there is the i i i "franglais," which are English words given French pronon- cuau'ore such as "le parking" and "le hot dog" and "en blue jean" and "les bestsellers" and "le hamburger" and soon. At a restaurant, I leanred of another local custom. Seeking a restorative after a long flight, I asked the waiter if. "s'il vous plait," could have a beer.

The waiter rose to his full height of indignation. "Monsieur!" he snapped. "This is a a a we serve WINE!" Inflation has struck this enchanting city with the force of a slap shot by Maurice (Le Rocket) Richard. A good Havana cigar costs up to ft. Taxis start at 60 cents to get in and SO cents (or each mile traversed.

Dinner for two, including an amusing Bordeaux with prctentions of laconic charm, runs up to J100 in the best of the 6,000 restaurants in Montreal.
