The voting margin of the 28 teams won't be made public, and only Mara and American Conference President Lamar Hunt are said to know the count they tabulated the ballots but it is believed Tampa outpolled San Diego either 16-12 or 15-13. The voting went to the sixth ballot, Commissioner Pete Rozelle said. Anaheim and Los Angeles were eliminated on the first ballots, Miami after two. Three ballots were then taken between Tampa and San Diego in pursuit of the desired 21 votes for one team or another. That never hap More Super Bowl 1C, 6C, 7C By TOM McEWEN Tribune Sports Editor SAN DIEGO Tampa's bid to become America's Next Great City got a rocket-sized boost late Wednesday afternoon.

That's when Wellington Mara, owner of the New York Giants and president of the National Conference of the NFL, declared from a podium in the Coronel Room of the Del Coronado Hotel that he "would make it short The game will be played in Tampa." THE GAME is the silver anniversary Super Bowl, the 1991 Super Bowl, more hotly pursued than any before it, and won by per- pened, forcing a simple majority vote. Tampa then won that Rozelle led a parade of expectant representatives of the five finalists and media from the ball room, scene of the deliberations, to the Coronel Room, 50 yards through the old hotel. No one gave a hint of the decision. He then said a decision had been made and. called on Mara and Hunt to speak.

They did. They said that all presentations were good, that there were no negatives spoken about any finalists. They said Tampa won because of its track record and its presentation. Rozelle then congratulated Tampa Mayor Sandy Freedman and Tampa Task Force Chairman Walter Baldwin, who were standing in the front row. "Congratulations.

You did a good job before and I know you'll do an even better job next time," he said. Members of the Tampa group broke into cheering at the announcement. There also were hup. Then Hugh Culverhouse Jr. appeared.

He had led the campaign once the presentations were made to the owners by the five finalists, the campaign behind closed doors. He stood in for his father, the Buc owner, who is in China.

Ljont 'tragic Tribune art by VAUGHN HUGHES His spirit soars 60 years later By JAMES YUENGER of The Chicago Tribune WARSAW, Poland For more than 15 horror-filled minutes before they crashed, the 183 people aboard the 11-62 jet that slammed down near Warsaw on May 8 knew they were likely to die. The scene aboard the stricken plane was a vision of hell in the air, according to several sources claiming access to recordings of the conversations between the pilot and air-traffic controllers. All 172 passengers and 11 crew members were killed when the New York-bound jet plunged into a heavily forested area, sheared a 500-yard path through the trees and came to a halt with a massive explosion. Among the passengers were 17 Americans and a number of persons holding dual Polish and American citizenships. A government commission investigating the crash has issued a few brief statements but has not reported anything of substance about its causes.

However, there was considerable similarity of detail among accounts by various sources about the final minutes of the flight. The cabin was filled with choking black smoke, they said. Air pressure was escaping through a gaping hole in the fuselage. Ignoring emergency safety instructions by flight attendants, passengers herded forward toward the cockpit, screaming, shouting and crying. Their movement further destabilized the crippled plane, hampering veteran pilot Zygmunt Pawlaczyk's desperate attempt to make a belly See SCENE, Page 10A President will attend services WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan, who lauded one of the servicemen of the USS Stark for making "the ultimate sacrifice," will attend a memorial service Friday for the 37 sailors killed in the Iraqi attack on the frigate, the White House announced Wednesday.

The president will fly to Florida for the service at the Stark's home port of Mayport Naval Station. The announcement also said Reagan had made his first telephone call to one of the families of the men killed in the incident Reagan telephoned Robert and Renata DeAngelis, whose son Christopher was killed. Meanwhile, the Pentagon announced that the president has directed the Navy to pick up the cost of transportation to the memorial service for all family members of the sailors killed aboard the Stark. The decision followed a report that the Navy had informed the DeAngelis family that assistance was available only for spouses. The Pentagon said, "The Navy will be providing transportation for spouses and next-of-kin, parents, which we think is appropriate in this case." A Tribune Wire Report The captain of the American frigate that was attacked by an Iraqi aircraft in the Persian Gulf said Wednesday that defense systems aboard the ship were fully operational at the time of the raid but there was not sufficient time to deploy them.

In his first public comment since the Sunday attack that left 37 sailors dead, Capt. Glenn R. Brindel of the guided-missile frigate USS Stark told reporters in Manama, Bahrain, that he had no warning a missile had been fired at his ship until a lookout visually sighted the projectile streaking through the night In other developments Wednesday: An unexploded missile warhead was found aboard the crippled frigate, the Pentagon said. The bodies of 35 of the sailors killed in the attack arrived in Frankfurt, West Germany, on their way home to the United States. Two of the injured Stark crewmen were on their way to a burn center in Texas.

The Pentagon said Iraqi fighters similar to the one that attacked the Stark twice approached a guided-missile destroyer in the same area, but were warned away by the ship's fire-control system. Brindel said after the visual sighting, the missile was at "a significantly close range, and there were only a few seconds for defensive measures to be put into effect." He said that the ship's Phalanx system, designed as a last-ditch defense against incoming missiles, was being switched from a manual to an automatic mode when the first of See STARK, Page 2A A Tribune Wire Report PARIS It was a lot of money, especially in 1919: $25,000 for the first pilot to fly New York to Paris, nonstop. But by 1927, the purse, offered by Raymond Orteig, the French owner of the Brevoort and Lafayette hotels in New York, was still unclaimed. In that year, however, the Wright brothers developed an air-cooled motor that vastly improved the prospect of successfully completing such a flight By May 15 three planes, scheduled for nonstop transatlantic hops in quest of the prize, were waiting for favorable weather at Roosevelt Field on Long Island: The Columbia, piloted by Clarence Chamberlin and Lloyd Bertand; the America, commanded by Lt. Commander Richard Byrd, who had flown over the North Pole; and the Spirit of St Louis, flown by young Charles Lindbergh, who had just made a record coast-to-coast flight from San Diego to New York.

Making the perilous journey alone, this handsome young man from the Midwest naive, modest, every bit the "typical" American boy caught the sentiment and imagination of the public. The 60th anniversary of his solo flight will be commemorated on two continents today, in his native state of Minnesota and at the French airport where the "Lone Eagle" landed. Astronaut George "Pinky" Nelson will join Alfred Siefer-Gaillardin, minister counselor from the French Embassy, at a St Paul ceremony honoring the flight which began May 20, 1927 and concluded the next day, 3312 hours later. At the exact same time, a re-enactment of the landing of Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" will be held at Le Bourget, the airport where Lindbergh landed in France.

Lindbergh had an impeccable record. Born in Little Falls, he graduated from the local high school, then entered the College of Engineering of the University of Wisconsin. At the end of his third semester he left to enroll in a Lincoln, flying school.

He said it was unclear whether Secord's cooperation would be helpful in blocking criminal charges.

Secord has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, saying his activities were approved by senior officials of the Reagan administration. One person with knowledge of the case said Secord felt he had done nothing wrong and had nothing to hide from Walsh. Federal law-enforcement officials are not so sure of his motives. In recent days, officials in Switzerland reported that Secord was moving to block the issuing of Swiss bank records tied to the Iran arms shipments under a banking treaty between Switzerland and the United States. A Reagan administration official suggested Wednesday that Secord might try to use the documents as a negotiating tool with Walsh.

It is not uncommon for suspects in a criminal Investigation to offer limited cooperation to a prosecutor. By submitting to questions, suspects can get a sense of the direction of a criminal investigation. They can also try to block criminal charges by offering exculpatory information information that would tend to point away from their involvement In a crime.

Secord's lawyer, Thomas C. Green, said the staff of the special prosecutor, Lawrence E. Walsh, had interviewed his client several times. Green said he believed the interviews began before Secord's testimony earlier this month before the two congressional committees Investigating the Iran-Contra affair. A federal investigator said that although prosecutors remained skeptical about Secord's truthfulness, his willingness to be questioned could be valuable to Walsh.
