(Con tinned from page 1) many ways, represents the model for our entire hemisphere." Costa Rica "is no longer one of the few lonely democracies" in the Western Hemisphere, the president said in his departure statement. "Indeed today there are only a few lonely holdouts against the sweep of democracy through the hemisphere." "I believe history will show that this hemisphere's democratic resurgence helped set the stage for today's electrifying changes in the communist world," Bush said. Security was tight as presidents and prime ministers began arriving today under cloudy skies. The U.S. Secret Service supervised installation of a two-inch-thick, 75-foot long sheet of bulletproof glass in front of the National Museum for Saturday's inauguration of Democracy Plaza.

A Costa Rican security officer said the 4.5-tor security shield was mostly to protect Bush and President Virgilio Barco of Colombia, who has been marked for death by drug cartel leaders for his recent crackdown. Arias implicitly equated Ortega and Bush's status as their countries' leaders when he explained why he had not invited the leaders of Chile, Panama, Cuba or Haiti. In drawing up the guest list for the "summit of the Americas," Arias said, he had decided "to celebrate this party with those chosen by the majority will of their people." He also invited opposition leaders of both Nicaragua and Panama as observers, including Violeta Chamorro, who is running against Ortega in Nicaragua's presidential elections Feb. 25. The United States has long supported the Contra guerrilla movement trying to oust Ortega's Sandinistas.

Non-lethal aid continues despite a Central American agreement to disband the Contras in exchange for democratization in Nicaragua. Bush said he would bring up the problems of a fair election in Nicaragua and arms shipments to El Salvador's leftist guerrillas "every chance I get." Costa Rican television covered the arrival of each leader live, and the million residents of the capital were braced for two days of closed streets, shut down businesses and limited movement. In addition to the diplomatic ballet between the United States and Nicaragua, the leaders were expected to discuss drug trafficking, Latin America's foreign debt burden and efforts to isolate Panama's Noriega. There was no fixed agenda, however, and plans to issue even a general communique on democracy were scrapped when Bush let it be known he would not sign a document that had Ortega's name on it. Salvador.

(Continued from page 1) group of the 1st Infantry Brigade called GC-2 in the capital of San Salvador. He said two U.S. advisers, known to the Salvadoran troops only as "the Major" and "William," purchased supplies for the group and "had to know what was going on." Joya Martinez outlined his allegations for U.S. reporters Thursday in interviews at a Washington hotel and planned a series of private visits with members of Congress today. The Salvadoran military denies the defector's death squad claims.

But Jeff Brown, an information at the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador, said Ambassador William Walker "considers the charges very serious" and "if they are truthful, they must be investigated." White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater, asked about the accusations today while flying with Bush to Costa Rica, said, "We're concerned about it. Ambassador Walker is looking into it." He does not expect it would come up in the president's talks with other hemispheric leaders in Costa Rica. Joya Martinez, speaking in Spanish, said his orders came in one-page reports issued by the Salvadoran Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said the reports went to the commanders of the brigade, Cols.

Juan Orlando Zepeda and Fran-ciso Elena Fuentes. He said he took part in eight killings but the reports he saw indicated 72 people were killed from April to July. "The report did not say kill them, it said 'bring them to which in simple terms means to kill them," Joya Martinez said. My job was to kill or be killed." He said the two American advisers were not in military uniform. They were assigned to the unit to analyze intelligence data and pay for supplies ranging from weapons to gasoline, he said.

"They had control of the department," Joya Martinez said. He said he did not know exactly what knowledge the Americans had, but said, "Obviously they had to know what was going on." There are 55 U.S. military advisers and an unknown number of CIA agents in El Salvador. Joya Martinez said he made the allegations public in an attempt to stop the killings. Col.

Elena Fuentes said in El Salvador two weeks ago that Joya Martinez is a defector wanted for the murder of two civilians. The former soldier is seeking asylum in the United States. The U.S. Immigration Service has ac CLARENCE N. POPE Clarence Norman Pope, 85, husband of Mrs.

Bay Area (Continued from page 1) proceeds will go to quake relief. "But the weekend is important in the sense that people are looking for a release, an opportunity to go out and enjoy he said Thursday.

"There was a lot of camaraderie, a lot of good things that came out of the quake." It was 10 days ago that millions of Americans, settling down in front of televisions to watch baseball's World Series, instead saw the 7.1-magnitude earth- auake jerk Candlestick Park and le Bay area. Tonight, baseball returns after the longest break in World Series history, to Candlestick, and many say it will give San Francisco a chance to show off and lure jittery tourists back. A moment of silence will be observed at 5:04 p.m., the minute the quake hit. Disaster officials will throw out the first ball, and the ushers will carry flashlights just in case. Fans will be asked to sing "San Francisco." The lyrics are on one side of a handout, and a message from the San Francisco Giants is on the other.

"Tonight we honor the resilience and indomitable spirit of our community to rise again," the statement says. "Let us all join together, not only in prayers for the loved ones lost, but in tribute to the survivors and selfless volunteers whose lives are changed forever." Dave Stewart, starting pitcher for the Oakland Athletics, already ahead two games to none, said the players have had trouble preparing for the game. "We've all been through a national tragedy. I'm sure I'm not alone, but the earthquake had a deep psychological effect on me," Stewart said. Commissioner Fay Vincent said baseball will donate $1.4 million to the relief effort, including $100,000 from each Series team.

Rebuilding from such a quake also means tearing down. Crews were demolishing some of the "red-tagged" buildings those determined unsafe and demolition went on at a 1 Vi-mile stretch of Interstate 880 in Oakland. The crews also put up a chain-link fence around the collapsed structure to keep people out and with fewer police officers, said Highway Patrol Officer Ed Moriarty. The quake closed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and parts of several highways, including a collapsed section of 1-880. EDGAR E.

Hostages (Continued from page 1) mark another sad year in which you have been denied your freedom." The Journalists' Committee to Free Terry Anderson, made up of colleagues from all over the United States, wrote: "Please believe that not a day passes when we do not think of you and pray for you." The Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan said it was sending a 33-foot birthday scroll to Van Wyke said the asylum request is based on "fear of persecution" if Joya Martinez were forced to return to El Salvador. Rica Anderson signed by 59 journalists and former colleagues in Tokyo.

Anderson was a member of the club during a working assignment in Japan 1979-1981. Gunmen seized the 42-year-old Anderson in Moslem west Beirut after a game of tennis that had been a brief respite from his reporting on Lebanon's civil war. He has not held his daughter Sulome, born three months after the morning he was kidnapped. He probably does not know that his father and brother have died of cancer. Anderson's fate now appears to be caught up in a power struggle between Shiite Moslem radicals and moderates.

He was kidnapped by Islamic Jihad, a group loyal to Iran whose name means Islamic Holy War. His abductors demand the release of 15 men imprisoned in Kuwait for bombing the U.S. and French embassies in 1983. Islamic Jihad also holds Thomas Sutherland, 57, an American who was acting dean of agriculture at American University of Beirut. Sutherland was kidnapped June 9, 1985.

Police say Lebanese authorities have no information on the whereabouts of Anderson or the 15 other Western hostages in Lebanon. Four days ago, Islamic Jihad made its first statement in a year, reviving an old offer to trade Anderson and Sutherland for their comrades jailed in Kuwait. City VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS Firefighters from Promised Land Station 20 responded Thursday afternoon to a grass fire at Center Road off U.S. 221. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES Greenwood EMS responded Thursday to four emergencies and one transport request.

The calls were to South Main Street, Stevens Street, U.S. 25 North, Parkland Place, and Florida Avenue. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT The Greenwood County Sheriff's Department responded Thursday and today to one assault and battery, one grand larceny, one shoplifting, one breaking of the peace, and one case of driving under the influence. Department reports included: A $2,000 diamond ring was reported stolen sometime after Sept. 29 from a West Keels home in Hodges.

The incident was reported to authorities Thursday. Two Abbeville womeniwere stopped Thursday night as they Rebuilding (Continued from page 1) counties in eastern South Carolina. A total of 807,000 acres in the state will be sprayed with the chemical "Dibrom," which Maj. Terry Biery of the U.S. Air Force Reserve called the safest chemical that can be used for the project.

The $500,000 cost of the spraying, which could be completed in eight to nine days depending on weather conditions, will be paid for by the Federal Emergency Disaster Agency with Hugo disaster funds. Spraying will be conducted in Berkeley, Dorchester, Georgetown, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, Orangeburg, Horry, Colleton and Charleston counties, officials said. A C-130 flying only about 150 feet in the air will do the spraying. It will be an unusual sight because such a plane, with a wingspan of 137 feet, seldom flies so close to the ground. Officials caution the noise from the low-flying aircraft may frighten some residents.

The spraying will be conducted by crews from the 907th Tactical Air Group, U.S. Air Force Reserve from Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Ohio. The spraying will be done in the late afternoon and will kill living mosquitoes but will have no effect on mosquito larvae. The colorless, odorless spray, which will be applied at the rate of only three-quarters of an ounce per acre, poses no danger to humans or pets although it can kill bees. The drops of spray are about one-third the diameter of a human hair, Biery added.

Sunday. For the record, turn the clock back one hour. For all but a few Americans this is an event they cannot ignore without the risk of being an hour early for everything until next spring. The fire chiefs are promoting it as an occasion to make sure they are safe as well as on time by putting a new battery in smoke detectors. "Change your clock, change your battery," is the simple message.

While 80 percent of the homes in America have smoke detectors, as many as half don't work because the batteries are either old or missing. A lack of the warning that smoke detectors can give is a major factor in fire deaths and injuries, fire chiefs say. While people are concerned about fires and will buy and install smoke detectors, it's easy to forget about them, the chiefs warn. And the batteries will die eventually, leaving the home unprotected. Checking and replacing batteries is also a good idea in states where the clocks don't have to be changed.

Those few, which didn't change to daylight time in the spring, include Arizona, Hawaii, parts of Indiana, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa..
