...virus of communalism," the ballots were finally tabulated late last week. The Congress (I) Party won a clear majority, taking 90 out of the 108 seats in the state legislature and four of the five seats for Parliament.

Officials said that voting had been heavy (70%) in the Bengali districts, where there was no violence, but that 18 state and seven parliamentary contests had had to be nullified.

Some outspoken Congressmen feel that the U.S. should relax its longstanding support for the Salvadoran government and instead pursue power-sharing negotiations with the Marxist-led Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, a course the guerrillas have long advocated.
