Radio shows Nicaragua aids Salvadoreans

May 3, 1983

Intercepted radio communications between Salvadorean guerrrillas and Nicaraguans clearly confirm that Nicaragua is helping the rebels, Time magazine said.

The magazine quoted an unidentified US intelligence expert as saying that when Salvadorean guerrilla units stop fighting, ''you can hear them order supplies'' from Nicaragua. The supply orders had been monitored by US electronic listening equipment aboard naval vessels, Time said.
