SBIS THE HAGUE (UPI) The Dutch government insisted on the release of all women and children hostages today before negotiating with four convicts, including an Arab guerrilla, barricaded in a prison chapel The prisoners unexpectedly freed an elderly man, three children and a woman Sunday, but kept on holding 17 other hostages, including two women and a child. Dutch officials said the prisoners demanded the transfer of an Arab guerrilla inmate from the prison hospital to the chapel, but gave no indication of the ultimate goal of the takeover. A Justice Ministry spokesmen said officials in contact with the second-story chapel by walkietalMe insisted on the release of all women and children as a precondition to negotiations.

Rain whipped by North Sea winds lashed the red brick prison walls. Police ringed the prison and marine marksmen took up positions on nearby rooftops. The convicts took over the chapel at Scheveningen Prison during a Roman Catholic mass Saturday, capturing 22 persons. Police identified the rebel inmates as Palestinian guerrilla Adnam Ahmad Nuri. Algerian thief Mohamed Koudache and two Dutch bank robbers, Daan Denie and Jan Brouwers.

Dutch police, responding to prisoner demands, delivered food, soft drinks, cigarettes, playing cards, beds, mattresses and blankets Sunday to the chapel. Justice Minister Wilhelm de Gaay Fortman said Sunday night Dutch officials "have no difficulties" in providing such items, but could -'hardly envisage the possibility" of letting the prisoners" leave the country. Officials said the four prisoners, armed with at least two pistols, took turns talking in Arabic, English and Dutch over a walkie-talkie taken from one of the captured guards. Sami Hussein Tamimah, 22, the Palestinian inmate in the prison hospital, has been undergoing treatment since a 12- day hunger strike to protest being separated from Nuri. Nuri and Tamimah were serving five- year terms for hijacking a British Airways jetliner last March and setting the aircraft on fire at Amsterdam airport.

The two guerrillas identified themselves as members of the Arab Nationalist Youth Movement for the Liberation of Palestine, a breakaway group condemned by the Palestine Liberation Organization. The prison rebellion came at the start of the Arab summit conference in Rabat, Morocco, but Dutch officials expressed doubt that the two events were linked.

In an editorial, the Bulletin said despite misgivings concerning the issue of alleged corruption in state government, "Milton Shapp appears the better choice for governor of Pennsylvania. "We wish we could be enthusiastic about him, the Bulletin said. "We wish we didn't have reservations. But flaws and all, we think Mr. Shapp is better qualified." The editorial said Shapp's opponent, Drew Lewis, who was endorsed last week by Philadelphia Inquirer, "does not run as the leader of a new Pennsylvania Republican Party wave dedicated to party reorganization and reform."

The Bulletin said Flaherty has failed to provide the leadership required to improve race relations in the Pittsburgh area.
