Salvadoran mutiny remains stalemated By SOLL SUSSMAN SENSUNTEPEQUE, El Salvador (API - The influential commander of the national guard met with the colonel leading a mutiny in northern El Salvador and later assured cheering townspeople that the government plans no military move to put down the rebellion. Emerging from a five-hour meeting with Gen. Eugenio Vides Casanova and four other top commanders who came from the capital yesterday, Col. Sigifredo Ochoa Perez said he and the other officers had discussed ways to end the standoff. But he vowed that if talking fails, he and his men will stick to their demands "even if we must die." Ochoa, who commands about 900 soldiers in the northern Cabanas province, declared himself in rebellion last week after rejecting Defense Minister Jose Guillermo Garcia's order transferring him to a desk job in the Salvadoran 'Perhaps, civilization Embassy in Uruguay. Ochoa said his only demands were to be allowed to stay in will survive. I hope so.' Cabanas province to fight leftist guerrillas, and that Garcia resign.
