S.F. EXAMINER Oct. 6, 1980 Iraq claims control of vital Iran -h 'Angelic' mother killed for her baby A16 )S i Examiner Sid Tat Backyard of Gamboa house in Modesto where Bonnie Gamboa probably was killed, police say From Page 1 on disablity leave from her job at a turkey processing plant, told a friend across the street that she already was one month late Some of the young mothers on the block had thought Wry, 5-foot-l and weighing 125 pounds, might have been a few months pregnant, but no more. But on Sept 25, the day Bonnie and little Richard Gamboa disappeared, Wry brought home her new baby Ron, named after her live-in boyfriend. She said there had been no need for hospitalization.

She had given birth in the doctor's office, she said. After it was over, after Wry was arrested on two counts of kidnap and one count of murder, detectives were told she was unable to have a fourth child, that two years earlier she had had a tubal ligation. And some neighbors said they always suspected she had stuffed a pillow under her top. Bonnie and Richard Gamboa "weren't rich," said one relative. "They were just like the American dream, you know, just working hard" and trying to keep up.

He had scooped ice cream at Swenson's ice cream parlor before becoming a cabinet maker. He fixed auto engines and played the saxophone, performing a benefit for sickle cell anemia and other causes. "She was his inspiration," said Richard Gamboa referring to his daughter-in-law's effect on his son. He said Bonnie always attributed the best of motives even to people who were not good. She was "an angelic type of person," someone nobody could dislike, recalled her husband.

The youngest of 11 children who came to Modesto from Arkansas in 1961, Bonnie Gamboa worked at a retirement home until, said her father-in-law, she grew "disappointed at the treatment" and the lack of attention Fire crews fight to save liner port city From Page 1 been forced to withdraw. The broadcast quoted Khuzestan province's deputy governor as saying, "Iran's armed forces, together with local forces and the brave portion of the valiant people of Khuzistan, inflicted heavy casualties on the Iraqi enemy in a fierce battle today." As Jordan became the first Arab nation to fully and openly support the Iraqi war effort, Iraqi warplanes hit Tehran for the second day in a row. The bombings of several targets in Tehran were in retaliation for Iranian raids on civilian targets in Iraq, the official Iraqi news agency said. Tehran Radio reported that three people were killed and 65 wounded. An Iranian who spoke from Tehran told the Associated Press there had been "heavy explosions" near Mehra-bad Airport and on the road to it The line went dead when the Iranian was asked if he had any further information and indicated that he did.

Iraq said the attack was "in retaliation for enemy air strikes against civilian targets in different parts of Iraq." The communique warned Iran's rulers "that the Iraqi air force is able to shake the ground under their feet and is able to destroy any target deep inside Iran." It said all the Iraqi jets that attacked Tehran returned safely to their bases. Tehran Radio, in a broadcast heard in London, said the Iraqi planes dropped paper handkerchiefs, toys and dolls and warned that they might be boobytraps. In announcing the capture of Khor-ramshahr, Baghdad Radio said, "The heroes of the battle are loftily standing in al-Muhammarah (the Arabic name of Khorramshahr) and its port" Iraqi artillery on the outskirts of Khorramshahr fired over the city, not into it, to pound nearby Abadan, site of Iran's biggest oil refinery. Shells set the biggest fires in Abadan seen since the fighting began Sept 22. Although Iran continued to deny the fall of Khorramshahr, Baghdad Radio said the city "has become an advance stronghold for our valiant forces, who are implementing the holy tasks" given to them.

"Our valiant forces have achieved their objective with incomparable valor," Baghdad said. "Our forces are now rendering various services to the people of the area and are distributing drinking water to them." Iran contested Iraq's version of events all along the line. In an unusually detailed review of all the fighting fronts, an Iranian military communique said "Iraqi armored forces have been driven back from around Khorramshahr." Iraqi field commanders in Khorramshahr, however, told United Press International that all civilians in the whole area had been evacuated. Field commanders said there was no point in pushing further into the city center, since Iraqi forces had captured the most important sections and did not want to destroy Khorramshahr to deal with a few snipers. Fighting was reported all along the SOCknile invasion front Iran said it had "strongly resisted concentrated Iraqi attacks" near Qasr-eShirin in the north, had "halted" an "Iraqi advance at Mehran" and "crushed" an Iraqi column near Susangerd and Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan province.

It said Iranian aircraft "are carrying out non-stop bombing of military targets as well as oil and military-industrial installations" inside Iraq. An Iranian military communique said Iranian jets raided military targets inside Iraq, "including air bases, radar installations, troop columns and military garrisons as well as oil and military-industrial installations." The communique denied that the Iranian jets attacked civilian areas. The Iranian air attacks ended a unilateral Iraqi cease-fire moments after it started. Iranian radio and television broadcast an interview with President Abol Hassan BantSadr in which be said yesterday's air raids involved one or two planes, adding: They were not considered to be attacks. Such raids are simply intended to restore the morale of a misled army." An Iraqi spokesman said earner Iranian warplanes made two raids on the Baghdad area and other Iraqi cities beginning at dawn yesterday, when Iraq had said it would stop fighting if the Iranians did likewise.

Iraq said it retaliated with raids on the Tehran airport and oil installations elsewhere and would continue the war "in view of Iran's non-response to the MARY ALICE WRY Suspect in kidnap, murder given the old people. Before the baby arrived, she worked the production line at Funsten Nut a seasonal job. When she could, she drove to the shop where her husband worked and lunched with him. And every day the two visited Richard Gamboa Sr. For "nearly three years" they had tried to have a child, Richard's father explained.

Then, on Sept 22, their baby was born. Announcement of the birth was printed in The Modesto Bee. Two days later, along with several other new mothers, Bonnie Gamboa received a call from a woman offering free photographs of her baby to be taken at home the next day. A month earlier, another mother accepted the offer, but the woman photographer left when a visitor showed up at the house. But on that day Bonnie Gamboa was the only one who accepted the very, very scary.

The waves were incredible. There wasnt much talking. We tried to conserve energy and warmth," said Regina CMalley of New York City. "Everybody was terrifed. We knew that if we couldn't see a plane, they couldn't see us either," said Sgt Jose Rios, one of two Air Force paramedics who were with the 18 forgotten passengers.

Waves had washed over the sides of the lifeboat drenching the occupants, who suffered from constant seasickness and cold, said OTWalley. "The waves were incredible, I'd say 30 or 40 feet" said Peter Kapetan of Fairfield, Conn. The last search plane those in the lifeboat saw passed over at 6 pjn. Saturday, and they saw nothing else until the Boutwell pulled into view about seven hours later, Sgt Rios said. By last night they and the other passengers from the 400-foot luxury liner had been accounted for and were safely ashore, said the ship's owner, Holland America Cruises.

The Coast Guard said 383 passengers landed here at the trans-Alaska oil pipeline marine terminal late last night and 150 people were brought into Sitka, a southeast Alaska port 500 miles southeast of Valdez. The Prinsendam's engine room caught fire early Saturday morning, and, as the fire spread out of control, passengers were ordered into lifeboats about 6 am The liner, on a 30day cruise to the Orient was still burning early today, adrift between the two Alaskan ports, about 120 miles off Yakutat Billows of The United States has repeatedly stated it would not get involved in the. war. Saudi Arabia, worried about its vulnerability near the battle lines, asked for and received four sophisticated VS. airplanes that can provide early warnings of an air attack and today got a new VS.

Jordan has vowed to provide Iraq any military aid it might request, the only overt declaration of support among the Mideast's Arab nations all of whom have a stake in the battle that has raged into its third week and threatens to spill over the borders of Iran and Iraq.

Aboard the helicopter were more firefighters, the Dutch ship's skipper Capt Cornelius Wabeke, the chief engineer and an owner's representative. The ship officials and Coast Guardsmen were to confer on the prospects of fighting the fire, believed to have spread through much of the below-decks compartments.

Owners arranged for a tug to head for the 427-foot Prinsendam and explore the possibilities of towing it to port, a Coast Guard spokesman in San Francisco said. The firefighting team hopes to determine whether the 400-foot ship can be saved. "They feel the fire may be burning itself out, but it could be all day and all night before they know whether they can handle it" said Coast Guard spokesman Phillip Franklin. "But the ship will not be moved until the fire is out" Yesterday, passengers from a lifeboat that rescuers at first missed in the pitch-dark night and stormy waters finally came ashore 35 hours after they abandoned the burning ship. "After the Coast Guard left, we were left all alone in the fog and it was wounds.

Richard Gamboa Sr, father of five, for whom the infant is his first grandchild, said about Bonnie Gamboa: "I hope you write something pretty about her." The man with whom Mary Alice Wry lived would say only: "She's a very nice lady and a good mother." A telephone off er of free baby photos had been a ruse for kidnap, a ruse that was tried for several weeks until the caller found someone who was so decent and trusting she wouldn't doubt the offer, Sgt Breshears believes. Breshears says he is sure that the suspect acted alone with a single motive: wanting another child. The young mothers of Merrimac Court, where Wry lived, agree the motive may have been desire. "Maybe she saw everybody around here with small children," said Polly Jackson, "maybe she just wanted one." Court upholds boycotts by ERA backers From Page 1 boycott VS. District Judge Elmo Hunter of Kansas City ruled against the state, and his ruling was affirmed last March 28 by a 2-1 vote of the 8th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals. "We hold that NOWs boycott activities are privileged on the basis of the First Amendment right to petition and the Supreme Court's recognition of that important right when it collides with commercial effects of trade restraints," the appeals court said. Its opinion relied heavily on a 1961 Supreme Court decision, called Eastern Railroad vs. Noerr, stating that antitrust laws are not violated by "mere attempts to influence the passage or enforcement of laws." In its appeal, Missouri drew a distinction between the 1961 case, in which a group of railroads engaged in a public relations campaign to gain passage of laws harmful to the trucking industry, and the NOW boycott "Noerr presented a combination to get legislation harmful to others. NOW is a combination to harm others to get legislation two quite different situations," argued state Attorney General John Ashcroft.

He said the appeals court decision "would replace the system of government in which legislatures are collectively responsive to the popular will with a system in which the legislature responds to those interest groups able to inflict the greatest economic suffering on the citizenry." Ashcroft said "the decision substitutes raw economic power for the ballot box What NOW would propose is a system in which all pressing issues of the day are decided by muscle." NOW lawyers responded by saying, "The (incontroverted testimony of the expert political science witnesses in this case, and indeed any basic civic text, confirms that joint action by political interest groups similar to the action challenged here is not only an accepted but a necessary element of our system of government" Fair attendence for fair BAKERSFIELD (AP) Attendance at the 1980 Kern County Fair set a record, of ficials said Monday.

There still is no formal channel or procedure for police officers who negotiate a hostage situation to relay their opinions to the jail medical staff, Tavano acknowledges In the Cullinane case a psychiatrist bad called him suicidal days before the death. "It would be good to have it in place," Tavano said.

In retrospect, Captain Kevin Mullen believes the police "handled it very well" "We learned a lot from it" he said, "how to deal with a sniper operation in the heart of The City and on such a large scale" Mullen, who had been deputy chief and now is captain of Richmond offer. At 10:30 the next morning, Richard Gamboa called his wife, asking her to telephone the vet about their dog and to call him back. During that, their last conversation, she told him the woman from the photo studio was at the house. Half an hour later, when she hadn't returned the call, Richard Gamboa telephoned home. He got no answer.

He went home, searched the house, and fearing that the baby had become sick, he returned to hospital where the baby was born. Then he called the sheriffs department. California Highway Patrol helicopters swooped down on the peach and nut orchards. K-9 police dogs sniffed nearby canals. Ground crews scouted a five-mile radius around the house.

Into the night neighbor Stan Sisco and other local ranchers held flashlights on empty pipes, the brush and the weeds. white smoke were pouring from the ship, and search units reported a red glow below decks. The first vessel to reach the Prinsendam was the Williams-burgh, which had taken on 1.5 million barrels of Alaska crude oil and was headed for Corpus Christi, Texas, around Cape Horn when it was pressed into service as a rescue vessel. Rescued passengers aboard the Williamsburgh arrived in Valdez about 11:30 p.m. after up to 10 hours in lifeboats and almost another 24 hours jammed into tanker quarters designed for about 35 crewmmen.

Huntington Beach lawyer John Gyorkos, rescued wearing a tuxedo and patent leather shoes, said some of the crewmen "actually pushed aside old ladies to get on the gurney that was coming down from the helicopter." Other members of the crew, he said, acted in an "exemplary" fashion. Passenger Betsy Price of Palo Alto told a harrowing tale of cowardice and disorganization on the part of some of the Indonesian crew members. Holland America officials at a news conference in New York said those reports were unf ounded. The passengers said there were many heroes especially on the Williamsburgh. Despite rough seas and the vulnerability of the mainly elderly passengers many attired in no more than night clothes there were no major injuries.

For those with heart conditions and other ailments, Coast Guard and crew-members made lists of medications, which were waiting for the passengers in conflict of religious revolution through the Arab world antagonizing neighboring governments, many of whose leaders are Sunni Moslems, rather than Shiites. Iraq's leadership is Sunni, although 60 percent of the population is Shiites. King Hussein was one of the few Arab leaders to maintain contacts with the late shah of Iran during the tumultous months of 1978 and early 1979 before Khomeini's Islamic fundamentalists toppled the shah from his throne. Hussein paid the shah two visits in 1978, but the king held back from taking a side on Iran's then fast-paced internal forget I aont think about it" she said and she still doesn't like to talk about what happened. For more than 20 hours, negotiators, who believed Cullinane was suicidal, tried to talk him down.

In the end they stormed his stronghold and found him asleep. At the jail, a psychologist who interviewed him found him not to be a. suicidal risk. The theory, according to Tavano, the psychologist's boss, had been that Cullinane's suicidal gesture on Market Street had "alleviated the pressure." "In retrospect," Tavano said, "I dont think that the case was badly handled or neglectfully handled. There's not always 100 percent accuracy in predicting human behavior." The psychologist who evaluated CuDinaae still is with The City.

She Then on Sept 29, four days after the baby and his mother disappeared, the Modesto Bee's Secret Witness Program received two anonymous tips. The callers advised that Mary Alice Wry, who had not looked pregnant, claimed to have given birth to a baby. Detectives found Wry pruning roses at her well-kept home. Inside, Sgt Breshears identifed the Gamboa baby by a fold in his ear and webbing between his second and third toes, a characteristic of Bonnie Gam boa's family. Two days later, Wry pleaded not guilty to two counts of kidnapping and one count of murder.

That same day, Harold M. Duffy, of the Cling Peach Advisory Board, was inspecting a peach orchard about 20 miles from the Gamboa house, when he found the decomposed body of Bonnie Gamboa lying on the sandy soil, four rows from an irrigation road. She had died of multiple stab 51 49 Arctic Mies OriGAn Alaska Canada Valdez mm Juneau A 3k.Sitka VP A Ketchikan Passengers abandon ship Pacific Ocean Examiner graphics as they arrived in Sitka or Valdez. In Valdez this morning, refugee from the liner flocked to Valdez stores to pick up clothing and toilet articles, with the Holland America line picking up the bill. Shortly after they arrived last night, the clothing sizes of all the Prinsendam passengers and crew members were written down and the town's only clothing store was opened shortly before midnight Clothing and shoes were issued to all who requested them.

Passengers breakfasted at the Sheffield Inn this morning then tried to contact loved ones. "I feel just terrible without makeup and I can't go about in this nightgown," a woman from Australia who was wearing a green dressing gown told Mike Cacchilli, a representative of Holland America Lines, owner of the ship. "Would you believe I still have my cabin key and nothing else?" Ethel Borowsky said. "I took the key to cabin 105 off the ship, yet I lost my gold pocketbook from Italy that I bought in the '50s. Can you imagine what that would cost now?" But, she added, "AH I really want is my husband." Borowski's husband, Francis is safe in Sitka and the couple expected to be reunited in Seattle.

As many of the passengers arrived here by bus from the Aleyska (pipeline) Terminal, a small knot of Valdez residents began to applaud as the survivors walked into the Sheffield Hotel, the largest in town. Their faces were a mixture of happiness and relief. Tm alive. I'm alive. Isnt that something?" said Ethel Borowsky.

works for another department now, although the move, said a protective Tavano, was not caused by the Cullinane case. "We're more alert now than we were about suicides," says Undersheriff Davis. Anyone believed to be suicidal is never placed in a cell alone. And deputies making the hourly rounds are required now to sign a paper each time they complete the round. There also is greater attention paid to incoming inmates, who are checked every half hour instead of every hour.

Since Cullinane's death, deputies have been given training in identifying symptoms of depression and suicide. When a deputy suspects an inmate of being suicidal, the message now "gets through," Tavano said. Deputies refer the case "immediately to a U.S. Jordan takes Iraq's side police learned from Market Street Sniper's' suicide From Page 1 continued much longer. "The other Arabs must get involved," said one Arab diplomat "A victory for Khomeini will take us all back into the Dark Ages." Iran, although Moslem like most Arab nations, is not Arab.

It is ethnically Persian but has a dissident Arab population in oil-rich Khuzestan province, which borders Iraq and is the site of heavy fighting. One concern of Iran and Iraq's Persian Gulf neighbors is that the war could touch off a superpower confrontation, bring the Soviet Union and the United States head to head in a region that holds the key to the rest of the world's fuel supplies. What the From Page 1 allowed to die The public defender says he took a lot of flak for his public statements. In the four days the 22-year-old Cullinane was jailed, Jeff Brown visited daily, establishing a rapport The suicide "really rocked all of us," said Jeff Brown, who admits to having been "seized with guilt about the thing" the day Cullinane died. He had skipped his Columbus Day jailhouse visit and somehow figured that had he continued to talk to Cullinane, maybe there would have been no suicide.

After Cullinane died, deputies had to contend with a surge in inmate suicide threats. "For several months after, we were flooded with suicidal ideation, mostly people talking and some superficial lacerations on the arms. They were gestures, not attempts," said Suzanne' Tavano, director of jail psychiatric services. One inmate, with a long history of psychological problems, did commit suicide shortly afterward, recalled Tavano, but "I dont know how much (Cullinane's suicide) played on his decision." Today, Undersheriff William Davis says the jail still is understaffed. Because of budget cuts, the department is down 44 deputies, about the same shortage as a year ago.

Cullinane had threatened to blow up the downtown area. With his rifle be held Chiyo Tashiro, a quiet, middle-aged woman, as his hostage. Released unharmed, she left the area, issued a statement and refused to be interviewed. Today, Tashiro has "been able to Station, shared the command of the sniper incident with patrol commander Cornelius Murphy, now San Francto-co's police chief. From that long ordeal, he says, be learned that if it happened again, be would alternate command rather than have two men in charge who, after 30 hours of no breaks, had to turn over the operation to others and sleep.

About three months ago Cullinane's still-distraught parents, religious people from Rhode Island, came to town. They met with Public Defender Brown, seeking to understand then-son's death. Cullinane's father hoped to find work in San Francisco, and they considered filing a wrongful death suit They dropped the idea of a lawsuit The father never found work here. They left The City still consumed by the death of their son, said Brown,.
