EL SALVADOR: Negotiations Continue
Continuing negotiations between military leaders
and Christian Democrats to form a new coalition govern-
ment focused yesterday on a Christian Democratic demand
for the departure of junta member Andino, a representa-
tive of the business community. The Christian Democrats
,want a left-of-center majority on the new five-man junta
which they believe would accelerate the pace of reform
and draw popular support away from violence-prone orga-
nizations on the far left. Also to be negotiated is the
continued tenure of Defense Minister Garcia, who is
closely identified with the armed forces' recent
down on leftist extremists.

El Salvador
Mario Antonio Andino, the third civilian member of
the Salvadoran Government junta, resigned last night to
allow the armed forces to reorganize the cabinet. The
other two civilians resigned Thursday night in opposition
to what they consider is a turn to the right by the
Army's commanders.
