2-A Great Falls Tribune Saturday, February 1, 1986 State of siege ordered in Haiti In the nation the world A i ther, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, from whom he inherited the presi-dency-for-life in 1971. The State Department said more than 15,000 Americans in Haiti were safe, but did not express support for Duvalier and indicated that half the $51 million in U.S. aid Haiti was to receive this year may be held back because of human rights violations. Rioting was spurred by rumors sweeping across Haiti that Duvalier's government had fallen and he had fled the country. President Reagan's spokesman, Larry Speakes, told reporters just that Friday morning.

The White House retracted the statement later, citing "conflicting reports." The report prompted hundreds of Haitian refugees in Miami, chanting "Duvalier is out" and waving palm fronds and tree branches, to jam the streets of Little Haiti Friday. "It's a joy," said the Rev. Gerard Jean-Juste, spiritual leader of the 50,000 to 100,000 Haitians living legally in Miami, some of whom celebrated Thursday night as rumors spread that Duvalier's government had fallen. "There are many of us wanting to go back." Duvalier said in a radio broadcast after the Speakes statement: "The president is here, strong, firm as a monkey's tail. My dear friends, because of wild rumors and nonsense circulated by good-for-nothings for some times (sic) now, I'm obliged to take to the streets." Haitians said the portly, 34-year-old president took his ride through the streets at about 9 a.m.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) -Mobs rioted, buildings burned and Jean-Claude Duvalier, president-for-life, imposed a state of siege Friday. He told the people of his impoverished land that he was in control, "firm as a monkey's tail." He pledged to rectify the "unequal and shocking" distribution of wealth. Most Haitians earn less than $150 a year. Four hours before making the promise in an eight-minute radio and television speech from the gleaming-white National Palace, he rode through the city in one of his bulletproof limousines with a heavy military guard. Rioters ran through downtown Port-au-Prince in the morning, building street barricades.

Police used clubs and opened fire on them. The General Hospital and witnesses reported at least five people killed in the capital Friday and 61 wounded, 16 by gunshots. Buildings were reported burning in the towns of Gonaives, Petit-Go-naives, Les Cayes and Cap Haitien. A witness said police drove people off the streets with clubs and tear gas in Cap Haitien, a north-coast port that has been a focus of growing protest against the Duvalier dynasty on this Caribbean island. Rioting in Port-au-Prince appeared to be quelled by midday.

The streets filled with police, troops in battle gear and the Volunteers for National Security militia. The militia succeeded the Tonton Macoute, the notorious personal army created by Jean-Claude's fa Mexico cuts crude oil price MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexico, the United States' second-largest oil supplier, announced Friday an average $4 a barrel cut in its crude oil prices retroactive to Jan. 1, sending its heavy-crude price below $20 a barrel for the first time. The announcement came just hours after President Miguel de la Madrid and Venezuelan President Jaime Lusinchi agreed to begin coordinating their pricing strategies in hopes of maintaining each country's share of the glutted world market. Drug found in singer's body DALLAS (AP) Entertainer Rick Nelson's body contained a small amount of cocaine when he died in a New Year's Eve plane crash, the Dallas Times Herald reported Friday.

Toxicology tests showed no evidence that "freebasing," a method of cocaine use that involves heating the drug with an open flame, the newspaper quoted an unidentified Federal Aviation Administration toxicologist as saying. The Times Herald quoted an unidentified official at the Civil Aeromedic institute in Oklahoma City as saying traces of both metabolized and unme-tabolized cocaine, as well as a compound of the painkiller Darvon, were found in Nelson's blood and urine samples. Calls placed to the institute Friday by The Associated Press were not returned. Bond running for Congress ATLANTA (AP) Georgia state Sen. Julian Bond announced Friday he will run for Congress from a mainly black district he helped create.

Bond was surrounded by his family as he stood in the well of the Georgia Senate chambers here and announced he is seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat now held by Wyche Fowler. Fowler has said he will run for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Mack Mattingly rather than seek re-election to his House seat. Bond, 46, who gained prominence as a civil rights activist in the early. 1960s, wrote the 1982 reapportionment plan that created the predominantly black 5th District.

iAbscam figure leaves prison NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Former U.S. Sen. Harrison Williams the highest-ranking official to be convicted in the FBI's Abscam bribery-conspiracy investigation, was released from prison Friday after serving two-thirds of his three-year term. The 65-year-old former Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee chairman slipped out the back door of a Newark halfway house about 1 a.m., said Katherine Morse, spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C.

Williams became the first senator to be jailed in 80 years when he was sentenced for his May 1, 1981, conviction on nine counts of bribery and conspiracy. Army rejects 400 recruits I 7 G.D.

Crew compartment on ocean bottom? WASHINGTON (AP) The Army has so far rejected roughly 400 recruits from entering active service because they tested positively for exposure to an antibody associated with AIDS, an Army officer said Friday. Lt. Col. Gary Quay, assigned to oversee the new AIDS blood screening program for the Army, said the 400 recruits had been rejected out of roughly 270,000 recruits tested between Oct. 15 and Jan.

Robert F. Kennedy, launched her bid Friday for the U.S.

House of Representatives, making her the first woman in the Kennedy family to seek elective office. Townsend, 34, made her long-expected entry into the race for the Democratic nomination by registering her campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission. "I'm very proud of what my father has done and what my mother has done, but I'm running as my own person," Townsend said. "It's important for the voters of the 2nd District to judge me on my character, for what I can offer and for what I can do for the people of the 2nd District." fMary Worth' creator dead TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Allen Saunders, a cartoonist who created the "Mary Worth" and "Steve Roper" comic strips, has died at the age of 86. Saunders, who died at St.

Luke's Hospital in Maumee Tuesday, was a former college professor and drama critic. Diplomat abducted in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Gunmen firing automatic rifles and pistols kidnapped a South Korean diplomat in Moslem west Beirut Friday. A military spokesman said Do Chae-Sung, 33, second secretary and consul of the South Korean Embassy, was on his way to work when five gunmen in a green Mercedes intercepted his car about 50 yards from the embassy. The LOCKHORNS (I ci 7. AP Photo "Sprint" was lowered into the water from the NASA booster recovery ship Liberty Star.

It was buffeted by the current, which also prevented divers from going down, and it was pulled out temporarily. A second and larger submersible, a robot called "Scorpios," was sent to the scene aboard another NASA ship, the Freedom Star. It began its survey with movie cameras and a still camera about 5 p.m. EST. Cmdr.

Robert Bender, pilot of one of the search helicopters, said pieces of debris "seem to be getting smaller all the time" as he days go by. "Every hour disperses the debris more and more," he said. When NASA officials saw the size of fuselage pieces that have been retrieved so far, they privately discussed the possibility that the cabin could have survived reasonably intact. NASA films show what appears to be the cabin, trailing a long stream of smoke as it plummeted out of the fireball into the ocean, striking the water with tremendous impact. Whether the astronauts were killed by the initial blast or by the heat would not be known unless the bodies are recovered.

In Houston, a retired NASA structural engineer said the cabin could "explode like a balloon" if struck under certain circumstances. But, said the engineer who asked not to be identified, "as a whole, it would be better able to resist an external shock than the rest of the spacecraft." -From 1-A timistic about the zone's future, he said. "We'll become more aggressive now marketing (the zone)," he said. Venture Corp. also is looking at expanding the zone to other parts of Great Falls, including such areas as the North Park industrial complex, to allow further development here.

The re-foot building at the airport, located west of the airport terminal, may eventually run out of room, Oberlander reported. "It's very possible that building could be full by the end of this year," he said. Venture Corp. operates the trade zone, but Oberlander said the zone eventually might be operated by the private sector instead. About 160 acres at the Great Falls International Airport are designated as a foreign trade zone.

Searle Co. Friday withdrew from the U.S. market its two intrauterine birth-control devices, including the nation's most-prescribed IUD, because of costs stemming from hundreds of lawsuits. The IUDs to be withdrawn immediately are marketed under the trade names TATUM-T and CU-7, or Cop-per-7, the IUD most often prescribed in the United States since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1974. "We and many physicians deeply regret this action because it limits the choices of the American public in birth-control methods," Tod Hullin, vice president of communications for the Skokie-based pharmaceutical giant, said at a news conference.

Despite the 775 IUD-related lawsuits filed against the company in the past 12 years, Hullin said Searle maintained "full confidence in the safety, efficacy and medical utility" of the devices. The IUDs, he added, "join the growing list of beneficial prescription drugs voluntarily withdrawn from the U.S. market because of unfounded litigation." Most of the lawsuits contended Heart. Normally, the hospital's staff physicians remove organs, but in this case, transplant specialists were flown in from Minnesota, he said. Afterwards, hospital officials and Jyna's parents, Robert and Jewell Forshee met briefly with reporters.

Dr. Donald Hicks talked about the donation and what it will mean to the Deaconess organ retrieval program, but he said the real credit for making the donation possible goes to the For-shees. "In spite of the tragedy, they were able to say, 'yes, we want something good to come out of this and I really admire them for it," he said. Jyna's mother said she hoped that something "wonderful" could come out of her daughter's death. "It's great that Jyna was able to do this," she said.

"Searle made this decision because of mounting unjustified litigation in the U.S. that has made future product liability insurance virtually unobtainable," he said. Searle, acquired by St.

Louis-based Monsanto Co. in September, sold between 300,000 and 400,000 IUDs in the United States annually, he said. As many as 1 million of the devices considered effective for three years may be in use. Hullin said women using either IUD need not have any immediate concern, but should consult their physicians with any questions. He cited findings by Planned Par-enthood's national medical committee in October that both Searle's IUDs were safe and effective methods of birth control.

IUDs are small devices, usually plastic or plastic and copper, that are inserted into the uterus by a physician. Experts are unsure exactly how they work, but it is believed that they cause a slight inflammation in the uterus that keeps the fertilized egg from being implanted.

(AP) NASA put two robot submarines overboard Friday to photograph a large metal object on the ocean bottom that could be Challenger's crew compartment. But on a day devoted to a memorial service for the seven astronauts in Houston, NASA said that if bodies were found in the cabin, it would not immediately disclose that fact. "No comment will be made by NASA officials today on anything concerning personal effects or human remains out of respect for the astronauts' families," the space agency said in a statement.

By nightfall, the agency had stuck to its promise. An investigating board met with Mission Control Center personnel Friday and a source said the board was studying a possibility that a tongue of flame from a leak midway in the right booster rocket triggered one of the explosive "destruct" packages on the shuttle's huge fuel tank. That followed a report from another source Thursday that the board studied liftoff films frame by frame and thought there was a possibility the flame had burned into the tank like a blowtorch. The explosive on the tank is there in case the shuttle goes off course and has to be destroyed by radio signal. The board has promised a report Sunday about the direction in which the investigation is going.

The small submersible named Zone Other chocolates sent to Denver would be charged the duties. Oberlander said the trade zone offers some "tremendous" features, but noted it has "taken some time for it to get up and running." The Economjc Growth Council, now Venture spent l'fc years obtaining a trade-zone license from U.S. Customs, and more time was required to prepare the trade-zone building and come up with operating procedures, he said. Oberlander said the U.S. Bolt and Supply firm will be able to help manage the trade-zone building.

"They'll be able to work with us to operate the zone," Oberlander said. Within the next 10 days, Venture Corp. will send another check for the trade zone's annual license fee to the federal government. The group is op- Television. cials.

The videotape showed two possible candidates for anchormen, one a sports reporter from a San Diego station and the other a former reporter and bureau chief for the Cable News Network. Corporation officials asked that these candidates' names not be publicized because no hiring decisions have yet been made. Colla, however, said the station could afford to hire anchormen of that caliber and background.
