Although Duarte agreed to -mediation, he warned that a dialogue the leftist opposition will not tmean "selling out on the present or negotiating away El Salvador's democracy." He said the i civilian-military junta intends to go ahead with its plan to hold elections for a constituent assembly in 1983 to write a new constitution and a election law. "It is the Salvadoran people who will decide their destiny in democratic elections," he said at a meeting with 5,000 peasants at Juayua, 50 miles northwest of San Salvador.

Duarte said until elections are held the junta will continue its agrarian, bank and foreign trade reforms to help eradicate poverty and pacify the country. An army spokesman reported at least 60 guerrillas killed in fighting during the weekend in San Vicente Province, 32 miles east of San Salvador. Military sources said nearly 1,500 guerrillas were believed to be in the area. There was no report of government casualties. Other officials reported 30 people found shot to death Monday in various parts of the country, victims of the political warfare between leftists and rightists that has taken at least 15,000 lives in the past 16 months.

In Washington, the State Department announced a $25 million increase in military aid to the junta, on top of $10 million authorized by the Carter administration. It said 20 more U.S. military advisers would also be sent to El Salvador, bringing to 54 the total number of American military men training the junta's army and police. Mardi Gras winding down NEW ORLEANS (AP) A million partygoers greeted Fat Tuesday today with costumed revelry and plenty of spirit as the Mardi Gras festival ended with the traditionally ornate parades that foreshadow an Ash Wednesday hangover of headaches and littered streets. Twenty-three of the former American hostages in Iran were in town for the festivities and a French Quarter hotel balcony was "reserved so that nine ex- hostage Marines could watch today's parades above the throng.

But as the celebration wound down the city's streets, police were investigating the shooting of two young men.

A bystander, John Barker, 20, of Plaquemines, was also in good condition with a gunshot wound to the groin. City police detective John Walters, 30, was suspended without pay Monday, accused of discharging his weapon in violation of department rules.

No criminal charges were filed in the incident. The most prestigious of today's parades, the last of five dozen to rol! through New Orleans and its suburbs, was sponsored by the Krewe of Rex, whose king was to goblet six times along the parade route to toast various celebrities, including the former hostages and Mayor Ernest Morial. More than a million people were expected to line the parade route. Rex follows the Krewe of Zulu, a black group that was formed to ridicule the white Carnival krewes and now has as splashy and expensive a parade as any. Also on tap was a parade by the Mardi Gras Indians, who don headdresses and war- paint.

At least eight other parades were rolling in the suburbs. Mardi Gras is the climax of the pre-Lent revelry that begins on Twelfth Night, soon after Christmas. It ends with Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, a season of abstinence for various Christian groups. In between, there are flashy costumes and overindulgence, and tension in the crowds is not uncommon. One band this year wound up with half of its brass horns battered and bent after an altercation with spectators who said they were jabbed by trombone slides.

"It gets worse every year," said Johnson. "They throw beer on you. They throw doubloons and beads down our instruments." Reagan may ask Congress for new nerve gas weapon Single Copy 2Sc Daily: 50c Sunday The Parl-s News Is a member ol the Audit Bureau ot Circulation, the Associated Press and the Texas Dally Newspaper Association. WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan administration is expected to ask Congress for money to prepare for possible production of a new nerve gas weapon, Pentagon sources say. Actual production would start only if President Reagan made a specific decision to do so.

"The new administration's I proposals to increase the defense budget for this fiscal year probably will include $20 million to install production equipment at the Army's Pine Bluff, arsenal, the sources said. The Carter administration's farewell defense budget contained no provision for preparations to begin manufacturing binary chemical munitions. Congress voted $3.1 million last year, but it was only to refurbish arsenal buildings. Binary munitions consist of two chemical components that.Army experts say are harmless when separate, but which form a lethal nerve agent when mixed. The mixing occurs only after the she)! is fired and separate canisters containing the chemicals rupture during flight toward the target, the experts say.

The Army has been pressing for years for permission to move into production of binary nerve agent weapons, citing intelligence reports of major Soviet preparations to use deadly chemicals in event of war. According to the Army, the United States "has only a marginal capability to retaliate in kind to enemy first use of lethal chemical weapons." It says the U.S. stockpile of serviceable chemical weapons is decreasing because of aging and obsolescence "and will be unusable by the late 1980s unless improvements are made." The $20 million earmarked in the Reagan administration's proposed budget increases, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press, would be used for facilities to produce one of the two binary agents and load it into 155-millimeter shells. The agent which would be manufactured at Pine Bluff is known as DF. The other, identified as DC, is an alcohol compound which the Army said can be readily bought from industrial sources.

"Thus, only an incomplete munition will be produced at Pine Bluff arsenal," the Army said. It added that the canisters containing the second chemical compound will be stored at a different site, shipped separately "and will not be mated with the munition until it is loaded at the gun site." The United States, which has renounced first use of lelhal or incapacitating chemical weapons and any resort to germ warfare, began negotiations with the Soviet Union almost four years ago in hopes of arriving at a treaty that would ban chemical weapons. However, the Army said negotiations so far "have been disappointing." Lamar County Sheriff's deputies continued investigation Tuesday into the theft of a registered Hereford bull valued at $900 and a Brahman cow worth $700, reports show. Vivian Green, 951 E. Hickory, reported Monday that the animals were taken sometime last week from her pasture on Stillhouse Road, just east of the city landfill.

She said she thought the stock had simply wandered off, but a thorough search showed no fences were down and no way for the animals to get out on their own. DEPUTIES ALSO investigated a report of aggravated assault called in by a Blossom woman. The woman reported that at about 5:20 p.m. Sunday, John Richard Rogers, also of Blossom, forced her off the road and then forced his way into her pickup truck. She reported he had a knife and that he cut the panels on both doors of the truck, reports show.

Reagan's budget cuts ire some urban leaders WASHINGTON (AP) Urban leaders, insisting President Reagan must have someone else in mind when he refers to "selfish interest groups" sniping at his economic recovery plan, are refusing to hold their fire to drive home the impact of proposed budget cuts. The board of the National League of Cities reacted to the president's speech to the group Monday by adopting a critique which agrees to a few of the concessions Reagan asked of the cities but balks at far more. "What he was concerned about was 'selfish' self- interest groups," said Mayor William Hudnut of Indianapolis, the league's president. "I do not view us as a seifish, knee-jerk, self- interest group."

Mayor William Schafer of Baltimore said he won't let himself be cast "in that defensive position, that if we suggest certain things we are selfish." "I'm going to let everybody know the impact on the city (of Reagan's planned budget cuts) and if they're satisfied. I will have done everything 1 possibly can," Schafer said. Mayor Charles Royer of Seattle said: "Of course, we are supportive of means to fight inflation. We just don't want it to be done at the expense of people who are helpless or who are at or near the survival level already." Newark Councilman Donald Tucker, chairman of the city officials' black caucus, said: "It means that the disadvantaged and the poor are going to be dumped directly on the cities, and 1 don't believe we should stand by and let that happen, whether it's the president of the United States or anyone else."

Ferguson was born Jan. 10, 1912, in Bagwell, a son of John Robert and Mattie T. Rhodes Ferguson. says the public supports his austerity moves, "but I don't think they really realize what those cuts that change means to them directly." Reagan told the urban leaders they should view his election last fall as a signal to shake up the economy and wind down government at all levels "because it is a mandate for us all." "We are all in the same boat, and we have to get the engines started before the ship goes over the falls," Reagan said. "The real threat to recovery comes from those who will oppose only a small part of the overall program while supporting the overall ef- forl." "The small portion these parochial groups oppose always deals with cuts that affect them directly.

Those cuts they oppose. They favor cutting somebody else's subsidy. The accumulative effccl of this shortsightedness can be damaging." The league's position paper endorsed Reagan's program in general terms, but opposed most job cuts, public housing losses, changes in the Urban Development Action Grant programs, deletion of the Economic Development Administration, cutoff of mass transit subsidies and imposing a new tax on sewers and water systems.
