NO. 208 MONDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1984 Iranians spring plaime hostages in bold rescue Gunmen beaten; 2 Americans freed in slick operation Associated Press Iranian security men, disguised as maintenance workers and a doctor, overpowered four hijackers who had threatened to blow up a Kuwaiti jet at Tehran's airport and freed the remaining hostages in the six-day ordeal. The gunmen, who had commandeered the Airbus A -300 jetliner carrying 161 people Tuesday, were "severely beaten up" during the late-night assault, the Islamic Republic News Agency said.

It gave conflicting reports about the numbers of hostages freed from the Kuwait Airways jet, first saying seven and then nine, including two Americans. It said the hostages were unharmed in the assault. IRNA also reported that two Kuwaitis, whom the hijackers had said they had killed along with two American passengers, were found alive but injured aboard the plane. It did not elaborate, but hostages freed earlier said there were two bodies bound and gagged in the cockpit of the plane. It was not known if they were dead or alive.

There was no change in the. account that two Americans had been slain one Tuesday shortly after the jet landed here and the other Thursday. IRNA gave the following report of the rescue operation: At 11:10 p.m., the hijackers asked for a generator to be connected to the airplane. It was taken to the aircraft 25 minutes later with a security man hidden behind it. IRNA did not say why the hijackers wanted a generator or maintenance work if they planned to blow up the aircraft.

The hijackers then asked for a doctor and two cleaning men to come to the plane. Three disguised security men immediately went to the aircraft.

Engen ordered the FAA action in consultation with specialists who are participating in the National Transportation Safety Board investigation in Jacksonville. Safety Board Vice Chairman Patricia Goldman praised the FAA's inspection order as "an important precautionary first step." Investigators have found that Planes, A8 within 10 flight hours. "The reason for that is to let them get to a principal inspection place, where they can work indoors and do a good job," he said. "We estimate it will take two men about five hours each to do these checks." The action will affect about 130 planes operated by more than 20 U.S. commuter airlines and is certain to crimp airline service to many small and medium-sized U.S.

communities, a Civil Aeronautics Board official said. If problems are found in other aircraft, further action might be necessary, federal officials said. The most severe would be a grounding of the fleet, although officials said they had no basis for that yet. The plane involved is an Em-braer 110, known as the Bandeir-ante or Bandit. A Provincetown-Boston Airlines Bandeirante crashed almost immediately after takeoff from Jacksonville International Airport on Thursday evening, killing all 13 on board.

"I don't have a good statistical sense of it yet, but it (the inspection order) will have a significant impact," said Patrick V. Murphy, associate director of the bureau of domestic aviation at the bureau. "Every part of the country has some essential service with the Bandeirante." The Bandeirante is a twin-engine turboprop. It can have up to 19 seats and is used to connect small communities with major airports. It has been a popular plane with the By DOUGLAS B.

FEAVER Washington Post WASHINGTON The Federal Aviation Administration late Sunday ordered U.S. commuter airlines flying the Brazilian-made plane that crashed in Jacksonville, last Thursday to remove their fleets from service temporarily for a thorough inspection of possible flaws in the tail area.

To be sure, Orchard doesn't hear sound the way normal people do, not the sounds she heard before a burst blood vessel destroyed her hearing 23 years ago. But they are sounds that she can learn to identify. Orchard, 59, let doctors experiment on her about a year ago.

She let them implant what was then an experimental electromechanical device that essentially shocks the nerve fibers in her inner ear to produce sound. The device, designed by Dr. William House of the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, was implanted in Orchard's left Fate of teacher, kids left hanging in school dispute By FRED SMITH Yavapai County Bureau WALNUT GROVE The future of the world will not be decided at Wednesday's meeting of the Walnut Grove school board. What may be decided is the future of the nine youngsters, who depend on the local one-room school as a teaching tool, as well as the future of their instructor. For now, the pupils are being taught by someone who may not have the proper credentials to teach.

The regular teacher? Well, she is under suspension and is drawing a salary to stay at home. And because 6he is the only one who'll talk about the issue, it is hard to draw a conclusion. Jeannie Eller, the teacher who is staying at home, said last week that she feels she's become a political pingpong ball between forces who want to close the Walnut Grove school and others who want to keep it open, although she admitted that her son may have become a side issue. To understand her dilemma, it is important to understand the school. The school, which until recently had offered a curriculum in grades kindergarten through 8, has educated kids in this picturesque ranching community for 100 years.
