Mugabe today to form the country's first internationally
recognized black government following
the surprise landslide win of the Marxist guerilla
leader's party in the parliamentary elections last
week.
"I feel jubilant. I think we deserved it," Mugabe said
of his overwhelming victory, reiterating that he would
invite rival guerilla leader Joshua Nkomo into a
coalition government. Nkomo said he had not received
an invitation but welcomed the idea, saying it would
contribute to stability.

BOGOTA, Columbia ? The leftist guerillas holding
U.S. Ambassador Diego Asencio and some 26 other
hostages in the Dominican Republic's embassy for a
week vowed that they would not reduce their demands
as they prepared for negotiations with the Colombian
government today.
"We won't give in on anything," said the leader of
the 30 guerillas who invaded the embassy during a
diplomatic reception last Wednesday. But "we have

One of the guerillas was killed in the takeover, and
the leftists have released 23 hostages, including 15
women. Those still held include at least 20 foreign
diplomats, two protocol officers from the Colombian
Foreign Ministry and at least four other persons.
Commission delayed
TEHRAN, Iran ? The militants holding the U.S.
Embassy in Tehran have imposed new conditions for

virtually eclipsing chances for a visit during the
panel's current stay and setting the captors on another
collision course with President Bani-Sadr's regime.
Spokesmen for the militants told the foreign ministry
the commission should first submit its findings on the
ousted shah's regime to the United Nations. They said
if the United Nations accepted evidence of U.S. crimes
in Iran and wrongdoing by the Shah, then a visit to the
approximately 50 hostages, who began their fifth
month in captivity today, would be considered.
In the meantime, the spokesman said, they would be
prepared to arrange a meeting with the commission
and some of the hostages, perhaps only a few, on the
condition they be h<?ard as witnesses testifying about
their role as soies for the U S Government in Iran

Waste buried (illegally?
WASHINGTON ? A former bookeeper at a South .
Carolina dump for low-level nuclear waste has told .
state authorities that highly radioactive nuclear spent
fuel has been buried illegally at the site. :
Susan Byers Lott, a former employee of Chem- .
Nuclear Systems Inc., said today she told investigators
in South Carolina that 26 shipments of spent fuel
arrived for burial at the low-level waste site from
Boston Edison Co. nuclear plant between mid-1977 and
January 1978.
A spokesman for Boston Edison denied the
allegations, which are under investigation by the South
Carolina attorney general's office.
Officials of Chem-Nuclear in Barnwell, S.C., were
not immediately available for comment.
Abortion decision fought
NEW ORLEANS ? Louisiana officials say they will
fight a federal judge's decision that most of the state's
1978 abortion law - considered one of the most
restrictive in the country - is unconstitutional.
"We are going to appeal," said Attorney General
William Guste.
He predicted Monday's ruling by U.S. District Court
Judge Robert Collins would be reversed by a higher
court. Collins, who took a year to reach the decision,
left standing only minor provisions of the law.
Bell requests increase
WASHINGTON ? Long-distance telephone rates
would go up if the Bell Telephone System wins its
request for a 10.5 percent rate increase.
Officials of the American Telephone and Telegram
Co. said Monday they need the across-the-board increase
because inflation is wiping out Bell's efforts to
Icut costs.
The increase would generate $1.2 billion a year in
jiHHitimml rpvpnnp Roll ^aiH in its: tn thp
WVV..WW..V,. " ~ " " -VW* V^MVWV vw v..^Federal
Communications Commission.
The effect on customers' bills would depend on the
number and type of calls placed, the company said.
For example, AT&T said the weekday rate for a
three-minute direct-dial call from Washington, D.C., to
Los Angeles would increase from $1.30 to $1.37 in June
and to $1.44 in October. An operator-assisted threeminute
call from Washington to Los Angeles would go
from $2,25 to $2.40 in June and $2.50 in October.
Ballot to include Ford
ANNAPOLIS, Md. ? Former President Gerald Ford
will hf* li?;fp>H n panHiHatp f nr tho Rpniihli/>?in
presidential nomination in the May 13 Maryland
primary unless he takes his name off the ballot, state
officials said Monday.
Ford was one of eight Republicans and five Democrats
listed as potential candidates by Secretary of State
Fred L. Wineland. Each man's name will be on the
primary ballot unless he submits a letter by March 28
saying he is not a candidate for the Republican
nomination.
If Ford chose to stay in the Maryland primary, he
would be able to make perhaps his first challenge to
apparent GOP front-runner Ronald Reagan in a state
that Ford won easily four years ago. In a two-man
contest, Ford outpolled Reagan 96,291 to 69,680 in the
|i 1976 Maryland primary.

Three escapees caught
COLUMBIA ? The remaining three escapees from a
state Department of Youth Services facility were I
recaptured early yesterday morning, authorities said.
The youths were being held in the Richland County
Jail with the other four juveniles who escaped from the
maximum security Birchwood campus Monday
evening.

escape. Four of the escaped juveniles were taken intoj
custody within a couple of hours in nearby residential
areas.
New inspection wanted
COLUMBIA ? The state Department of Mental'
Health will ask for another inspection of the South
Carolina State Hospital by the agency which last week
revoked the institution's accreditation.
And Ted Shelton, director of public affairs for the
department, says the loss of accreditation will have no
immediate affect on services offered patients at the
Columbia psychiatric institution.
State mental health officials were notified last week
the hospital had lost its accreditation. The Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals said the
facility does not meet the commission's minimum
standards.
The loss of accreditation means the hospital is no
longer eligible for funding through Medicaid, Medicare
and private insurance policies which bring in more
than $1 million a year.
Man sentenced to die
YORK ? Sylvester Adams of Rock Hill was sen
tenced Monday to die in the electric chair for the Oc
tober murder of his 16-year-old neighbor. In related
charges, Adams, 23. also received a life sentence for
kidnaping and five years for housebreaking.
The murder conviction is automatically annoalpd to i
? J -rl? ?
the state Supreme Court.
A jury of seven women and five men deliberated less
than two hours before reaching the decision. Its
members had been sequestered at a Rock Hill motel
since convicting Adams late Saturday.
Throughout the three-day trial, Adams, a former
textile worker, denied he killed Bryan Chambers. He
and his mother. Ida Mae Brown, were the only defense
witnesses.
Appeal cites amendment
BEAUFORT ? The Beaufort Gazette will cite the
sixth Amendment's guarantee of a public trial in its
r\ r\ ?-v a.\ I J i-i 4- -1
ui el UlclglMl ctlt 5 UUC151UI1 lO ClOSC a
preliminary hearing.
Circuit Judge Clyde A. Eltroth is scheduled to hear
the Gazette's appeal Thursday. The case involves a
ruling last week by Magistrate Lynn Smith to bar the
public from a preliminary hearing for two men accused
of murder.
Smith has refused a Gazette request for a transcript
of the hearing for Audrey Bradley and Danny Lee
Smalls. The two are charged with the deaths of Jack
and Mabel Hollis, both 60, of Burton Dec. 24.
I Smith closed the hearing at the request of defense
attorneys.
