commented on the abduction by early
today. It was also unclear why the
guerrillas targeted San Sebastian for
the mass kidnap.
San Sebastian Mayor Jose Ramon
Henriquez and other townspeople
called it "a forced recruitment" and
said they believed the guerrillas were
trying to force about 140 youths in the
group ? including the two soccer
teams ? to join rebel ranks to compensate
for recent heavy losses.
Some speculated they took the
children and older women along as
hostages to keep army troops from
pursuing them.
In any intensive seach and destroy
operation in August, the army
claimed it killed 300 guerrillas in the
San Sebastian area. Radio Venceremos
at the time claimed those
killed were noncombatant "camp
followers."
San Sebastian, a town of 4,000
people, is 30 miles east of San
Salvador.
As residents told it, a large group of
guerrillas attacked the local military
garrison Sunday afternoon to divert

The youths said the rebels marched
their prisoners in three columns ?

15 and 22, and those older than 22.
Henriquez and about 120 relatives of
the prisoners went to San Salvador on
Monday to report tne incident to
military authorities and asked officials
at the El Salvador Human

The commission noted that
although the school bus "has come to
symbolize 'forced integration.' Yet
less than 7 percent of all students who
are bused to school are bused for
school desegregation."
The panel said: "A Department of
Justice that opposes the most effective
remedy for desegregating the
public schools ? the mandatory
reassignment of students ? and the
most effective tool for implementing
this remedy ? student transportation
? actually stands in opposition to
school desegregation."
It charged that the Justice
Department's stands "would have the
nation revert to the 'separate and
unequal' blot that has stained our
nation's credo of equal justice under
law."
