El Salvador Leftists Gain Arms Lose Support
El Salvador leftists claim a stronger weapons cache after a week of fighting but lack mass popular backing. Guerrillas boast Chinese rocket launchers, Soviet grenades, G-3 rifles, and perhaps Cuban arms via Nicaragua, yet street mobilization remains limited and support for the uprising weakens.

Carter Plan Seeks Modernization Of Leavenworth Prison
The Carter administration asks Congress to fund a 10 million dollar, three year modernization of the aging Leavenworth Kansas federal prison. The project will gut a five tier open cell area remodel into larger, room like enclosures, shifting the facility from maximum to medium security and reducing inmate count from about 1500 to 500. The Bureau of Prisons and the ACLU back the plan as cost effective and compliant with Justice Department and ACA standards.
