But he will be leaving his post this >pring, according to sources here and in Washington. He is leaving after serving for two years as the pivotal link between the Reagan administration, which sends covert aid to Nicaraguan insurgents, and the leftist Sandinistas. Miguel Blandon, director of the government-run Radio Sandino, said Quainton is seen here as a "reasonable" man who avoided confrontation and "at times expressed he was in favor of a dialogue between hJiraramia and the United States." "He has shown great interest in getting to know the Nicaraguan reality," said Maria Ferrey, vice president of the opposition Social Christian Party. __-j t '<*t ** fift M le renovation of Greene Street across from Russi ave robots patr vice president.

Likewise, police declined comment on the search for gunmen who kidnapped Saudi Arabia's consul, Hussein Farrash, in west Beirut Tuesday. An anonymous telephone caller Wednesday said a pro-Iranian group calling itself Islamic Holy War carried out Kerr's assassination and Farrash's abduction. The caller warned Farrash would be executed and demanded U.S. and French troops in the multinational force leave Lebanon "or we will shake the earth under their feet." Callers claiming to represent Islamic Holy War have claimed responsibility for several other attacks, including the Oct. 23 suicide tmck-bombings at the espect U.S. ami "His opinions are adjusted to reality.

It was during Quainton's tour here that CIA support for Nicaraguan insurgents fighting the Sandinistas became known. At high government levels, the ambassador kept a good relationship going although he continued to walk out of state functions or refuse to stand whenever the Sandinista anthem was played because it has a reference to the "Yankee, enemy of humanity."

"Death was instantaneous," said Coroner Dr. Ahmed Harati said in an autopsy report. "The bullet was fired from close range leaving no powder traces."

Blandon, who has had Quainton as a guest on radio debates, said, "To say that he favors the revolution is sheer madness. The ambassador has maintained his position.
