Freedom plea Some 500 people gathered in the Plaza de Mayo in front of government house yesterday to demand the liberty of two Argentines who were declared “disappeared” last week by human rights groups. Police said that one of the men declared “disappeared” was under arrest for public drunkenness and bearing arms. The demonstrators, called to the plaza by human rights groups, presented a petition in the pink presidential palace calling for the immediate liberty of Hector Cassani and Miguel Angel de Pla. — Buenos Aires. Journalists missing The abandoned vehicles of six journalists have been found along a road north of Palacious, San Salvador, and a National Guard spokesman said that the Government was investigating. Listed as missing were Julian Harrison. a British cameraman for United Press International Television News, Victor Tobar, Pedro Garcia, Rafael Magana and Carlos Rosas, the television crew for the local N.B.C. news affiliate to the American network, and Eduardo Vasquez Becker, a freelance for American wire services and publications. — San Salvador. Heaven-sent blue Cable television watchers in South Dakota who tuned to a religious network got a peek at movies with a decidedly different message — pornographic films. A fluke in the satellite system caused programmes on the Eternal Word television network, a mainly Catholic religious network, to be followed by blue movies courtesy of Eros, a network oriented to adult entertainment. — Yankton, S. Dakota.
