Majano told reporters in San Salvador he had no information about a reorganization but "would not fight the junta's decision." Majano and Gutierrez led the coup that overthrew right-wing President Carlos Humberto Romero in October 1979. The first blow to Majano's prestige came in early May when top-ranking military officers stripped him of the commander-in-chief title and gave it to Gutierrez after Majano tried to arrest a leading officer for plotting a coup. Majano's support eroded rapidly in the next six months as he tried to block transfers of officers who supported him, insisted on pressing ahead with reforms and continued attempts to talk with leftist leaders. Political violence has claimed lives this year in El Salvador.

Eighty pWenr of the deaths, including those of three American nuns and an American social worker last week, are attributed to right-wing death squads and the military, and 20 percent to leftist guerrillas.
