Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte told his daughter’s kidnapers that he is ready to release 22 guerrillas in return for the release of his daughter, Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran, 35, her friend, and 23 Salvadoran mayors being held by leftist guerrillas. Duarte told the kidnapers of his proposal in a shortwave radio conversation with them that was intercepted by reporters. The president’s daughter and her friend, Anna Cecilia Villeda, 23, were kidnaped Sept. 10, and Duarte has been personally negotiating with her abductors by radio.
