CONTRA DISARMING SHOULD END SHORTLY

More than 11,000 Contra rebels have laid down their weapons under a peace accord signed with the government, and another 4,000 were expected to disarm this week, officials said Monday.

Although the rebels did not meet the Sunday deadline for disbanding the entire Contra force, the remaing resistance members were expected to report to U.N. officials by the end of the week.
