12 weeks in hiding, helped by the
Canadian Embassy and an elaborate ruse
of false identities and forged documents,
it was disclosed Tuesday.
The State Department identified the
six who escaped as Mark Lijek, a
consular officer; his wife, Cora Amburn

as a consular assistant; Roger G. Anders,

Coast Guard' cutter collision leaves ix dead.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)
Divers searching the flooded
compartments of a sunken Coast Guard
cutter found the bodies of five more
sailors Tuesday, raising the death toll to
six. Hope was running out for 17 others
missing following a collision with an oil
tanker.
"As time goes by, the hope grows less,"
said Coast Guard Capt. Marshal Gilbert.
Twenty-seven of the cutter's crewmen
were rescued and one was found dead
shortly after the Monday night collision.
Some were found clinging to pilings of
the Sunshine Skyway bridge, which soars
over the Tampa Bay's entrance.
The Coast Guard began assembling a
formal board of inquiry to try to
determine why the 605-foot tanker SS
Capricorn slammed into the 180-foot

Word of the dramatic flight from
Tehran came as ailing Iranian leader
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini went on
national radio to make an emotional
appeal for Iranians to support their new
president. Abolhassan Bani Sadr.

night just outside the bay.
Divers fought vicious currents and
poor visibility in the 50-foot-deep water,
where the cutter lay with a hole in its side,
to recover the live bodies Tuesday.
Rescuers held out hope that some
crewmen had found lifesaving air
pockets, but divers tapping at the vessel's
hull heard no response. They then began
a slow search through flooded
compartments and passageways.
Meanwhile, survivors told of hearing a
collision alarm for only five seconds
before the collision. The tanker was more
than three times the cutter's size and
loaded with heavy oil. The cutter sank
almost immediately.
"It went down very quickly, in a matter
of a minute or two," said Gilbert.

friction between Bani Sadr and official

the U.S. Embassy. But Tehran radio later
broadcast a message from Khomeini
urging support for Bani Sadr.
The bold escape of the half-dozen U.S.
diplomats from central Tehran caught
the embassy militants off guard Tuesday.
"That's illegal! That's illegal!" one of
the militants cried to a Western reporter
when told of the ruse.
Ever since the militants seized the
embassy Nov. 4 to press demands for the
return of the ousted Shah Mohammad
"It rolled and straightened up," one
unidentified crewman said from a
hospital. "Then it started rolling again
and it started to go over. I could see the
people sliding off. There was nothing to
hold on to. 1 couldn't believe how cold it
was in the water or the stink of the fuel."
,Crew members were reported asleep
when the collision occurred. Some told of
fighting their way out through flooded
passageways.

unconfirmed reports in Tehran that
embassy staff members who avoided
capture were hiding out in the embassies
of other friendly nations.
Then, after Canada unexpectedly shut
its embassy Monday and withdrew its
small staff, the Montreal newspaper La
Presse published an article in its Tuesday
editions saying some U.S. diplomats had
been harbored in the Canadian mission
and were spirited out in the previous day
or two under cover of false Canadian
passports.
U.S and Canadian officials later

which carried 34 crewmen.
A spokesman for the ship's agent, who
declined to be identified, said the tanker
carried 150,000 barrels of oil but did not
spill its cargo. The cutter, based in
Galveston, Texas, and in service as a
buoy tender, was bound for Mobile, Ala.,
with a crew of 50, after being drydocked
at St. Petersburg.
Gilbert said authorities were not sure
what caused the collision in a section of
the bay 200 to 300 yards wide. Under
normal navigation rules, each ship would
stay on the right. A harbor pilot was
aboard the oil tanker, Gilbert said. "They
normally would be operating radar on
both ships," said Lt. Steve Venckus, an
operations officer. "Whether they were or
not we don't know. All we know is that
they collided."
Durante dies
of lung ailment
HOLLYWOOD (AP) Jimmy
Durante, the honky-tonk comic with the
outsized nose whose artful mix of
clowning, fractured English and heart
warming pathos endeared him to
generations of Americans, died Tuesday
at age 86.
The famed "Schnozzola," as he was
known to friends and fans alike, died
alone in a hospital room where he had
been confined for three weeks for
treatment of a lung ailment.
Upon learning the news, comedian
George Burns, 84, a longtime friend, said:
"What can I say that the world doesn't
already know? He was a fine man and a
wonderful artist."
Red Buttons, another old friend, said;
"I loved him. We all loved him. I am sorry
to hear the news. But I am almost glad he
is out of his misery."
Durante was admitted to St. John's
Hospital in Saniaulonica , on Jan. 7,
suffering from acute lungcongestion.The
cause of death was listed as pneumonitis
complicated by the effects of previous
strokes, said Chris Thomas, a hospital
spokeswoman.
After a stroke in November 1972 left
him partially paralyzed and confined to a
wheelchair, Durante was forced to say
good night to Mrs. Calabash for the last
time and retire from show business.
Throughout his career, one of his
trademarks was to end his performances
with, "Good night, Mrs. Calabash,
wherever you are." He once confided he
was referring to his first wife, who had
died.

Jerry Robinson, Orange County
Health Director, said measles symptoms
usually begin five days after exposure,
beginning with a sore throat, runny nose
and fever. Small red spots with white
centers appear in the throat and mouth,
often accompanied with loss of appetite.
Four days later, a red rash on the face and
body appears. Fever may be higher and
eyes may be sensitive to light. By the
eighth day the disease should have run its
course. Students should not return to
class until 24-48 hours after the fever and
rash disappear, officials advise.
County officials are taking steps to
isolate the highly contagious disease.
About 275 Chapel Hill-Carrboro
students have been suspended until they
provide confirmation that they have
previously had red measles or have had
the proper immunization. An additional
1 l6junior high school students have until
Monday to satisfy immunization
requirements.
