The president also proposed a fiscal 1982 appropriation of $350 million to assist countries that have been hard hit economically. Officials have said the aid would be concentrated on six countries suffering short-term balance-of-payments problems: El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Although Reagan was vague on how he plans to meet perceived security threats in the region, his speech was marked by tough rhetoric against Cuba and its allies. "A new kind of colonialism stalks the world today and threatens our independence.

It is brutal and totalitarian. It is not of our hemisphere but it threatens our hemisphere and has established footholds on American soil for the expansion of its colonialist ambitions," he said. While the broad outlines of the president's economic aid proposals had been known for weeks, there had been heightened interest in the security aspects of the speech. his news conference last Thursday, Reagan declined to answer questions about his Central America strategy except to say there are no plans to send U.S. combat (Continued from page 1) El (Continued from page 1) be followed by elections.

Liberal and moderate Democrats, emboldened by signs that there is only slim public support for Reagan's policy, are increasingly urging a cease-fire, negotiations and then internationally supervised elections. That position was put forward first by relatively junior Democratic members of Congress, such as Reps. Gerry E. Studds of Massachusetts, Michael Barnes of Mary- forces to El Salvador. He indicated some of the unanswered questions would be addressed in today's speech.

There have been published reports that Reagan has approved a plan to encourage political and paramilitary operations by other governments against the Cuban presence in Nicaragua. He also is said to have approved a plan to cut off the weapons shipments the administration alleges are being made to Salvadoran guerrillas from Cuba and Nicaragua. Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo, concerned that the United States may go too far in attempting to put down leftist expansionism in Central America, has offered to mediate conflicts between the United States and the governments of Cuba and Nicaragua. He also suggested ways to end the civil strife in El Salvador. Lopez Portillo's proposals, announced last Sunday, apparently were intended to influence Reagan's speech, but the State Department has reacted coolly to the initiative.

The administration says there is a direct link between the security and the development aspects of administration policy toward Central America and the Caribbean.

But in the past few weeks, they have been joined by Sens. Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. O'Neill, the high Democrat in Congress, initially said he wanted a "bipartisan" approach to the Salvadoran civil war, but shifted his position significantly prove and the trend toward political radicalism is stopped. To keep the refugee flow down, the United States has "an important responsibility to deal with the social, economic and humanitarian aspects of the crisis as well as the security aspects," Haig said. The development plan has been in the works for most of the past year.

COLUMBIA (AP) The South Carolina Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction and death sentence of Horace Butler of Charleston. Butler was convicted in January 1981 of the murder of 18- year-old Pamela Marie Lane. The same jury sentenced him to death two days later after rape was presented as the aggravating circumstance by the solicitor during the sentencing phase of the trial. In the opinion, the justices wrote, "The record clearly reflects Butler maliciously and purposefully committed a brutal murder accompanied by rape. The death penalty is proportionate to a crime of this nature and to the crime and to the defendant in this case." An execution date has not be set, and an appeal to the U.S.

Supreme Court is expected, according to officials. The nation's weather By.
