Dominican Ambassador Diogenes Maillol fo lake pictures of the Feb 27 diplomatic reception that was interrupted by April 9 Movement guerrillas who- shot their way into the party taking 57 hostages 1 he guerrillas have now freed 29 of their captives including a Colombian 'judge and a Colombian businessman on Sunday The Uruguayan ambassador- has escaped but Guzman remains a prisoner perhaps the only contented one Flvira Mendoza editor of the weekly Colombian magazine Cro- mos said Sunday that her publication paid Guzman $53800 for 70 pictures he took of -activities inside the embassy since the takeover 34 days ago That comes to $714 for each photo Dr a total of 1 million Colombian pesos for the lot She described Guzman as a who earns his living solely" by recording various diplomatic events on film for embassies in Bogota" was a poor-man but no Mendoza said i- There is a mystery about how Guzman 48 managed to sneak the photos out of the embassy Disgruhtled Colombian photographers kept too far away by the mil- itary to take good pictures of the action point their fingers at Red Cross personnel wrho almost daily bring food and other supplies to the hostages who remain and to the 20 to 25 guerrillas who guard them There are other candidates however including the numerous released hostages the various doctors who have examined the captives and the Rev' Javier de Nicolo who isjted

Earthquake activity around Mount St Helens diminished on Monday as eruptions from the volcano spewed more ash thousands of feet into the air across southwestern Washington and into Oregon Geologists flying over the 9677-foot peak Sunday night spotted blue glowing flame in the older of the two craters that have been created since the volcano began erupting last Thursday said Sylvia Brucchi a spokeswoman at the US Forest Service volcano command center in Vancouver about 50 miles to the south Similar flame had been seen in the newer crater when it was spotted for the first time Saturday The blue flame which was observed for about 30 minutes was believed to be from burning gases Brucchi said There was no lava and no sign of the lightning previously seen on the volcano Mount St Helens which had been dormant since 1857 started erupting Thursday after a week of earthquake activity SEISMOLOGISTS monitoring the peak from the University of Washington about 100 miles north of the mountain -said Monday that the almost continuous earthquake activity had slowed There were four or five quakes an hour of a magnitude of about 3 on the Richter scale said Louise Hastie university spokeswoman That was down from as many as eight an hour last week The Richter scale is a measure of ground mo- tion as recorded on a seismograph looking for significant change in any of the measurements We would take appropriate action and alert people if that were the case" said Robert Crosson univer- sity seismologist "Either a sudden 'increase in activity or decrease we would interpret that to indicate a possible The ash cloud from the eruptions drifted as far as central Oregon leaving a coating of fine brown-gray sand Brucchi said "We have ash samples here in the she said "It looks like sand on the beach fine sand gray fine not particulary heavy" The state Department of Emergency Services was advising the public to avoid unnecessary contact with the ash until toxity tests could be completed Monday said Dave Quier operations superv isor S17 In Culs At k3l-H0M PAGE ceed but absolutely determined that we shall" He promised to veto any budget-busting bills he has to in order to meet his goal The proposals announced Monday would appear to curtail spending in nearly every category except defense and Social Security And Carter insisted that the Pentagon would be required to operate more efficiently in order to absorb some of the added costs of its expanded operations following the international crises of recent months THE DEEPEST cuts would be made In outlays for jobs programs revenue sharing for the states and in government pay and retirement benefits James McIntyre Jr the director of the Office of Management and Budget said: "No single interest or set of recipients will bear a disproportionate share of the austerity" But some of the key programs for the needy were spared he said because "this administration has not balanced the budget on the backs of the The poor however are not exempt The budget proposes to adjust food stamp allowances for increases in the cost of living only once a year instead of twice The same change would reduce spending for child nutrition compensation benefits and federal employe retirement Coupled with planned increases in revenues from the new energy import taxes the full range of cuts would leave a surplus in government spending of $165 billion in the fiscal year beginning next Oct 1 That would be the largest budget surplus in the nation's history if it materialized But officials have made it clear that the President might still propose a tax cut if Congress accepts his reductions in spending and Congress already is tempted to distribute the prospective surplus by reducing taxes in an election year The previous highest surplus was $12 billion in 1948 IF spending cuts are approved they would balance the federal budget for the first time in 12 years and the second time in 20 Total outlays in 1981 would be $6115 billion with revenues of $628 billion That compares with original January proposal for outlays of $6158 billion and revenues of $600 billion which would have left a deficit of $158 billion Under the revised budget de-' fense outlays would total $1505 billion up from $1462 billion in the original 1981 budget put forward in January Congress already is at work on its own list of budget cuts that closely parallel and in some cases go beyond them While some critics of new anti-inflation strategy have questioned whether balancing the budget will help reduce inflation Carter said it is an important symbol to show that the nation's biggest spender can put its own financial house in order It also would help lower interest rates by taking the government out of the money markets where it goes to borrow funds for continued deficit spending "Balancing the budget is not a cure-all but it is an essential element in the more comprehensive Carter said in a message to Congress His new strategy also includes credit controls and an energy import tax that would raise the price of gasoline by 10 cents a gallon Index Decline Sends Signals i Of Recession nflittit Jesse Owens Is Dead
