"I will not disguise from you that there are real difficulties and real obsta-. cles," Pym told reporters at Washington's Dulles airport.

"But I look forward now to talking again with Mr. (Secretary of State Alexander) Haig and we will do everything we can to try and find a peaceful settlement." In London, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told Parliament that Britain was making every effort to achieve a peaceful solution to the crisis, adding that force would be used if necessary. "We have to be prepared to defend things in which we believe and be prepared to use force if that is the only way secure the future of liberty and self-determination," she said. Galtieri's visit to the islands does not affect British sovereignty over them, she said. "Nothing General Galtieri can do about visiting the islands today can alter the fact that they have British sovereignty," she said.

Pym flew to Washington with a plan avert war at about the same time the Argentine military leader left Buenos Aires to inspect his Falkland occupation forces and their new fortifications. 'Puerto Argentino' "I am going to confirm the unity and spirit of my troops," Galtieri, who also serves as commander of the army, told reporters at Buenos Aires airport. On Wednesday, the Argentine government issued a decree officially changing the name of the capital of the islands from Port Stanley to "Puerto Argentino (Argentine port)." The military governor of the Falk-lands, Gen. Mario Menendez, has said that nearly 10,000 heavily armed Argentine troops are on the islands. Reporters said the Argentines have dozens of batteries of anti-aircraft guns and artillery there.

"I shall use every endeavor to achieve a peaceful settlement," Pym told Parliament on the eve of his departure, "but at the same time the use of force cannot be ruled out" Earlier, he had stated that there would be no use of the British naval armada bearing down on the island "as long as negotiations are in play," but rushed back to Parliament to assure members that he meant "the use of force cannot at any stage be ruled out." Pym said Britain's plan would call for the withdrawal of the Argentine invaders, discuss an intermediate administration of the 149-year-old British colony and propose a framework for negotiations on a permanent settlement. A summary was sent to Washington Wednesday. The Argentine goverment suspended cash transfers abroad of profits, royalties and investment capital to stop the outflow of money by nervous financiers and gave first priority to military purchases. "It is the last move before declaring an economic state of war," said an international banker who asked not to be identified. Chief Justice Norman Krivosha Krivosha's reaction to veto of pay-raise bill angers Thone Volcanic cloud shrouds Earth's surface, raises specter of drastic climatic change By Bill Kreifel Journal Staff Writer An unhappy Nebraska Chief Justice Norman Krivosha says the state's judges and constitutional officers have "unwittingly become part of the Thone for Governor (re-election) campaign" by virtue of Thone's Tuesday veto of a bill giving pay raises to those officials.

An angered Gov. Charles Thone said he is "a little goddamned upset" by Krivosha's remarks, and "very, very disappointed that the chief justice is becoming involved in politics." Thone also said he would "expect an apology" from the chief justice for saying that Thone had gone back on his word when he vetoed LB488, a measure granting percent pay raises for Nebraska's jurists and constitutional officers including the governor in each of the next two calendar years. "I'm not getting involved in politics. I'm getting involved in judges' salaries, which I'm very concerned about," said Krivosha. He also said, "I've told you the fact of the matter so I need not apologize" to Thone.

The chief justice said he talked to Thone shortly before the governor vetoed the bill, and Thone told him he thought it would be "politically harmful" to him if he signed it But Krivosha said Thone had told him earlier that he wouldn't veto a pay raise for the state's judges. "He committed it to me. He said it wasn't too much money, and that we were deservant of it And now, we (those jurists and the constitutional officers) are the only employees state, county or city employees who get no raise, none." Judges' salaries only Krivosha said "there's no doubt" that Thone went back on his word. "That's nonsense. In no way, form or shape did I go back on my agreement with the chief justice, and I don't see how he can allege that I did," said Thone.

The governor said he and Krivosha "had never, ever" discussed whether Thone would veto a bill in which judicial and constitutional officer salary increases were tied together. Thone said their conversations dealt with judges' salaries only, and when those were "piggy-backed" onto proposed raises for constitutional officers, "it was an entirely different ball game." The governor also said it could have been "a conflict of interest" for him to have signed LB488 because a gubernatorial pay increase was included in it. Krivosha said Thone was aware that the judicial pay proposal was being attached to that of the constitutional officers, "and if the rules (of the governor's commitment) had changed, it was not conveyed to me." Furthermore, Krivosha said, Thone told Douglas County District Judge James A. Buckley that he would allow LB488 to become law without his signature. The chief justice said the between Thone and Buckley occurred Sunday "after the bill had been passed." "The chief justice is correct," said Buckley, declining further comment.

"That's true. I told him (Buckley) I intended to do that," said the governor. But Thone said he "reconsidered" the idea after discussing it withhis staff. "They said that, number one, I have never, never done that (allowed a legislative measure to become law without his signature); and, number two, they were overwhelmingly opposed to my signing that bill," said Thone. Reaction The Republican governor said Democrat Krivosha's reaction to the veto particularly "his goddamned comment about Thone for governor" has the effect of "politicizing the (Supreme) Court" Krivosha, a former personal adviser to Democrat Gov.

J.J. Exon, who appointed him chief justice in late 1978, said he was "terribly disappointed" by Thone's veto "not in not getting the (additional) salary, but in being advised about him not keeping his commitment." Krivosha said he thinks the state's judiciary "has worked damned hard the last two years even harder than in the past," and he said he hopes the veto of LB488 doesn't cause some of those judges to start thinking about leaving the bench. "But," he added, "I can't blame them" if it does. Britain's Defense Ministry refused to disclose the location of its task force headed by two aircraft carriers but reporters on the flagship Hermes said Wednesday that it was still 2,500 miles from the target. The ministry also declined to comment on press reports that destroyers had split from the main force to speed toward South Georgia, the Falklands dependency 800 miles southeast of the main islands.

Spy plane chased off But Argentina knows the position of the main British fleet. An Argentine military Boeing 707 surveillance plane was chased away from the fleet by a Harrier jump jet scrambled from the Hermes. Officers with the fleet composed of at least 40 ships, said they soon would be within striking range of land-based aircraft and would go on a full-war footing at Friday midnight. Anti-submarine helicopters circled the ships constantly. The requisitioned North Sea ferry Norland sailed Wednesday for Portsmouth naval base to take several hundred troops and heavy equipment to join the task force in the South Atlantic.

Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez said he will fly to Washington Saturday to demand action against Britain in a debate in the Organization of American States that has been scheduled Monday over U.S. protests. Argentina says it inherited a Spanish claim to the Falklands, a British colony since 1833. Argentina said it invaded after IS years of talks failed, but Britain charged that it was trying to divert attention from an economic crisis. served in January'.

That invisible cloud, circling 10 miles above the Earth, is made up of tiny droplets of sulfuric acid from a volcanic eruption that hasn't been pinpointed. Roland Chan, an atmospheric scientist at Ames, said scientists won't be able to make specific calculations on the cloud's effect until it sinks low enough for a plane to fly thorugh it and gather debris that can be analyzed. Another U-2 flight is planned for May 6. It is "beyond the realm of science to predict what if anything, the cloud will do," Toon said. But he added that after the 1816 eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia, "there was significant localized cooling in New England and Western Europe." The cooling caused frost throughout the summer of 1816, causing famine and food riots in Europe, he said.

But the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which leads the PLO's more radical flank, said it would intensify operations inside Israel "without jeopardizing the cease-fire in southern Lebanon." Earlier, PLO sources said any retaliation would be delayed to avoid giving Israel a reason to invade Lebanon, where the guerrilla group has concentrated strength in its struggle for a Palestinian state on Israeli-occupied land. The Palestinian sources said Lebanese Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan and -Saudi Arabian officials relayed a U.S. government message to Arafat urging restraint In New York, Shafik al-Hout member of the Palestine National Council and PLO executive committee, told the U.N. General Assembly the U.S. government informed the PLO indirectly "that this provocation could be just the beginning of a wholesale attack intended by the Israeli aggressor." stocks Dow Jones 2 p.m.

"It's a monster cloud and quite a big deal," Toon said Wednesday. The NASA pilot who first noticed the cloud said it was so dense he could look through it straight at the sun without harming his eyes. Toon said the shroud could lower the Earth's temperature at least 1 degree Fahrenheit and "in any one place it could become 10 degrees hotter or 10 degrees colder." But "the real problem could be climatic changes that localized, could cause droughts and heat waves," Toon said. Scientists say the cloud carries more volcanic debris than any other similar cloud found in the Northern Hemisphere since the 1912 eruption of Alaska's Mount Katmai, which collapsed and created a lake.

Charles Thone Who, 4'Y to to PLO will not avenge Israeli raids in Lebanon Murder suspect killed by police News Wires Scientists fear a "monster" cloud of volcanic debris drifting 13 miles above the surface of the Earth will cause droughts or heat waves in some corners of the planet. The 2-mile-thick cloud, composed of debris from the March 29 eruption of the Chinchonal volcano in southeast Mexico, stretches from Mexico to Saudi Arabia, researchers say. The cloud is one of the largest ever discovered and is blocking sunshine in Hawaii, officials say. That's bad news for the Hawaiian tourist industry, which is hurting because of other recent light-robbing volcanic clouds.

"This cloud definitely has the potential for some climatic change in the next six months, but it's hard to get a feeling on how much effect" said Brian Toon, an atmospheric scientist with the Ames Research Center, located at Mountain View near San Francisco. 3 APWIHEPHOTO me? "U5 News Wires BEIRUT, Lebanon The Palestine Liberation Organization's main faction will not avenge Israel's massive air attacks on PLO forces in southern Lebanon unless the Israelis strike again, guerrilla sources said Thursday. But more radical PLO factions said they will retaliate for the Wednesday bombings by Israeli warplanes that killed 20 Palestinians and wounded 40, and Syria said it would confront any new Israeli move in Lebanon. "Arab skies will not be open for enemy arrogance irrespective of costs, sacrifices or whatever it takes," Syria's state radio said. The Jewish state said it planned no more action against Lebanon-based PLO guerrillas unless they struck and that the cease-fire arranged nine months ago could be preserved.

Earlier Thursday, Israeli warplanes screamed over Beirut and south Lebanon, drawing fire from Palestinian antiaircraft guns, witnesses and reporters touring the south said.
