_News Digest_ By The Associated Press Peace plan needs truce Central American presidents offer new measures to comply MANAGUA, Nicaragua — The "* author of the Central American peace plan said Thursday that only a negoti ated truce in Nicaragua will make it work, and the Sandinistas called a rally to hear President Daniel Ortega declare whether a truce is possible.

We’re kicking around new ideas at least, and that’s worthwhile,” he told reporters after one of the closed-door bargaining sessions. gency,” they said, and “Talks Yes. But I with the Owners of the Circus.” Let j tered in red, “Total Amnesty, Never, Never, Never.” j Owners of the Circus refers to the United States, which provides aid to the Contra rebels.

President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, who devised the peace plan and ; won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, said “the essence” of peace in the region is “reaching a negotiated cease-fire in Nicaragua.” Ginsburg admits smoking marijuana WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg admitted Thursday that he used mari juana once in the 1960s and on a few occasions in the 1970s and said, “It was a mistake and I regret it.” President Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Mecsc III immedi ately issued statements declaring their continued support for Ginsburg, nominated to the Supreme Owt last week.

Collin Powell, the No. 2 man on the NSC staff, to succeed Carlucci. ^_ i December 7 Summit 1 Michelle Miklos/Daily Nebraskan I Summit spot questionable WASHINGTON — It’s expected to be a stay-at-home summit for Presi dent Reagan. Dwight D. Eisenhower opened the gates of Camp David to Nikita S. Khrushchev in 1959. Lyndon B. Johnson rendezvoused with Aleksei Kosygin at a college in Glassboro, N.J., in 1967. But when Reagan meets with So viet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev on Dec. 7, White House sources say the meetings are almost certain to be held at the White House itself. For the thousands of reporters who will descend on Washington, how ever, briefings will be at other loca tions around town. Where the loca tions will be remains uncertain as U.S. and Soviet officials grapple with the logistical problems of a superpower summit. The Washington Convention Cen ter, the capital’s biggest meeting place, is booked for an automobile show. “I’m not sure we arc in a position to drive it away,” said Robert Garrity, director of foreign press centers for the U.S. Information Agency, which is making arrangements for the for eign press. At the only previous U.S.-Soviet summit held in Washington, when Richard M. Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev met in 1972, reporters were, briefed at three different locations set up around town by the State Dc’ trt ment. “We are looking to a more coordi nated approach,” said Garrity, ^till hoping to find one room big enough into which to cram all the reporters.
