BEIRUT (AP) — British
metallurgist Geoffrey Nash,
kidnapped almost two weeks
ago from the streets of Mos-
lem West Beirut, has been
released unharmed, British
dipomats said today.

In London, a British For.
eign Office spokesman said

SAN SALVADOR (AP) —
In a campaign to disrupt
Sunday's national elections,
leftist rebels blew up four
more municipal buildings and
telecommunications offices in
rural towns, military officials
say.

The leftists are boycotting
the vote, which they call a
farce, because they say any
leftist candidates would be
slain by right-wing death
squads. They demand negoti-
ations to end the 5'-year
civil war before any voting.

In the last five weeks,
guerrillas have burned 17
municipal buildings and 11
tel icati offices,

Nash “was released about
midnight last (Tuesday)
night.”

“He is safe and well,” the
spokesman added

British Ambassador David
Miers confirmed Nash's re
lease, but said he could pro-
vide no details.

The civil defence com
mander in an Matias said he
and four other guardsmen on
duty fled Tuesday when reb-
els attacked the military
post. He told reporters the
rebels took five rifles and
then dynamited city hall, the
municipal, court and tele
communications buildings.

The rebels target telecom-
munications offices because
they are the only places
where telephone calls can be
placed and received. As well,
voting results are sent to the
council headquarters in the
capital by the offices.

The recent rebel attacks
have destroyed civil records,

mainly in northeastern El
Salvador.

Early Tuesday, they at-
tacked San Matias, 33 kilom-
etres northwest of San Sal.
vador, and dynamited the
city hall and three other key
buildings, officials said. No
casualties were reported.

Similar raids were report:

GENEVA (AP) — U.S.
negotiators, armed with con
gressional approval for more
MX missiles, opened talks
with Soviet officials today on
the possible reduction of
long-range rockets.

The U.S. delegation, head
ed by Ambassador John
Tower, and the Soviet team,
led by Victor Karpov, met at
the offices of the U.S. Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency.

Their meeting, as part of a
three-part program of arms
talks in Geneva, effectively
revived the Stragegic Arms
Reduction Talks that were
suspended in December 1983
in a Soviet protest against
NATO's deployment of
medium-range missiles.

Max K. i leader of
the U.S. negotiating team,
had been recalled from the
arms talks to try to persuade
reluctant congressmen to
vote for the MX money.

He returned to Geneva on
Monday, two hours before
the opening of the first de.
tailed discussions on space
and defence weapons.

The arms talks are divided
into three sets — one for
medium-range weapons, one

for long-range, and one for
space weapons.

Negotiators specializing in
medium-range rockets were
scheduled to get down to dis-
cussions Thursday.

Kampelman is the U.S.
team's leader as well as chief
negotiator for the space arms
set of talks.

Both sides have refused to
tell reporters what spec-
ifically was discussed in these
first sessions.

The Soviet Union has kept
up an attack on U.S. research
into the space-based defence
system.

“The United States is
trying to escape retaliation
by hiding behind an anti-
missile shield that would
allow it to deliver a first
nuclear strike,” Soviet dele-
gate Victor Issraelyan told
the 40-country Geneva dis-
armament conference, which
is unrelated to the super-
power talks.

Issraelyan outlined six
proposals to “avert an arms
race in outer space.” They
iricluded prohibitions on test-
ing and deployment of wea-
pons based in space or on
Earth and aimed at targets in
SPace or on Earth, as well as
“new antisatellite systems.”

Canadiens and Nordiques

By The Canadian Press

Montreal Canadiens and
Quebec Nordiques held onto
the lead in the Adams Divi
sion of the National Hockey
League on Tuesday night,
beating back challenges by
division rivals Boston and
Buffalo.

The Canadiens edged the
Bruins 5-3 in Montreal while
Michel Goulet fired his 50th
goal of the season to help the
Nordiques shade the visiting
Sabres 4-3.

The two victories did little
to clarify the battle for the
Adams title as both Quebec
teams emerged with 83
points, although the Nordi
ques have a game in hand
Buffalo, however, fell three
points off the pace with its
ninth consecutive
against Quebec.

In other games, it was
N.Y. Rangers 5, Pittsburgh
Penguins 4; Detroit Red

which raised its record to
36-27-11. Tom Fergus, Geoff
Courtnall, and Ken Lnseman

dropped to 33-31.9

In Quebec, Buffalo coach
Scotty Bowman was incensed
when referee Brian Lewis
disallowed a tying goal in the
last minute after ruling Gates
Orlando had gloved the puck
ahead to Lindy Ruff.

“The pass wasn't directed
to him, it just touched the top
of Orlando's glove,” Bowman
said. “Lewis was on our back
all night.”

Brent Ashton, Wilf Paie

also scored for Quebec,

37-27-9. Mike Foligno, Phil

HAMILTON (CP) The
signing Tuesday of quarter
back Dieter Brock with Los
Angeles Rams may prove to
be a preview of a mass
exodus by Hamilton Tiger
Cat free agents.

The Canadian Football
League team could lose at
least five more regulars who
helped the Ticats to the
Eastern Division title last
year and a berth in the Grey
Cup.

“I'd hate like hell to lose
any more cogs from the
wheel,” said head coach Al
Bruno, who expected to lose
Brock to the National Foot
ball League, but whose club
would be severely crippled
by the loss of its five other
free agents

From the offence, which
now will be quarterbacked by
either Pete Gales or Jeff
Tedford, the Ticats could lose
wide receiver Ron Johnson

season for 681 yards and two
touchdowns

offensive unit. He also played
