El Salvador Rightists Seek Unity Government After Vote
Rightist parties that won a majority invited President Duarte's Christian Democrats to join a unity government. The call came as the army fought leftist guerrillas in Usulutan. Duarte's ouster remained a condition for some, while Christian Democrats weighed a coalition without ARENA. Voter results showed Christian Democrats at 41.3 percent with ARENA leading rightist totals, amid a high turnout and leftist boycott. Haig urged conciliation with guerrillas willing to join the democratic process.
