U S troops in El Salvador train locals on bridges
U S military personnel in El Salvador may keep M 16 rifles in their quarters for protection but cannot carry them outside. In the field they may carry individual weapons presumed to be pistols. They must stay within government controlled areas to avoid being drawn into combat during a three day mission to train Salvadorans on bridge building. A five member team including one warrant officer and four enlisted men is described by White House aide Larry Speakes as special trainers.

The group was questioned for carrying rifles, with a Pentagon spokesman denying combat role. Separate court action seeks to block aid and force U.S. policy, while fighting continues in Usulutan Province.

Young offender placed on probation after court ruling
Manhattan Family Court Judge Peggy Davis ruled the boy intentionally committed acts that would have been criminal if he were 16 or older. Since he cannot be jailed due to age, the judge placed him on probation for up to two years with regular reporting to a probation officer and school attendance.
