TEHRAN, Iran ? Arrangements for transferring the
approximately 50 American hostages out of the U.S.
Embassy in Tehran Saturday were snarled in the hours
before they were to be turned over to the ruling
Revolutionary Council.
Militants hnlHinU th<> hnctaapc annniinrwl thpv u/nnlH
hand over control of the Americans to the
Revolutionary Council at 5:00 p.m. local time Saturday.
But in a separate announcement broadcast on
Tehran radio and monitored in London, they insisted
they would not turn the hostages over to Foreign
Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, appointed by the council
to handle the situation.
They accused Ghotbzadeh of lying to them by saying
revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
had ordered the Americans transferred to the control
of the council.
Demand abandoned
BOGOTA, Colombia ? The guerrillas holding the
U.S. ambassador and other hostages insist on the
release of 311 leftists from jail but virtually abandoned
their demand for $50 million, a government official
reported.
A high-level government official said that
negotiations between the government and guerrillas
have centered on the guerrillas' demand that 311
alleged political prisoners be released.
The official, who asked not to be identified by name,
said the guerrillas "have practically abandoned" their
demand for $50 million in ransom in exchange for the
safe release of the hostages, seized 11 days ago during
a diplomatic reception.
Abominable snowman seen
NEW DELHI, India ? Members of a Polish expedition
who recently scaled Mount Everest claimed
they saw footprints of a Yeti, the legendary
abominable snowman, during their climb.
At first, expedition leader Andrez Zawada, a
geophysicist, said he didn't believe the reports of the
sighting by team members "because there are so
many jokes about the Yeti."
So he sent the team doctor, "a quiet, intelligent
man," to the spot to verify the report. The climber
photographed the footprints.
"Each print was about 14 inches long and nearly 7
inches wide," Zawada said.
He said that the depth of the prints in the snow indicated
that the creature was "very heavy" and tall.
The footprints were more than 3 feet apart, he added.

hretighter strike ends
CHICAGO ? Striking firefighters in the nation's
second-largest city returned to their fire stations
Saturday atter ratifying an agreement to end a bitter
23-day walkout.
Firemen approved the pact at a midnight membership
meeting of the 4,350-member firefighters'
union. The session followed bargaining sessions during
which the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights activist,
mediated the dispute.
The agreement sends firefighters back to work while
contract differences with the city are resolved.
Most firemen seemed relieved to be back. "Nobody
wanted to go out on strike in the first place, but it was
something we had to do," said Peter Rivers, an
engineman, as he reported for duty.

No basis for charge
COLUMBIA ? The South Carolina . attorney
general's office says an investigation indicates there is
no basis for a charge that spent fuel rods from a
Massachusetts nuclear plant were buried at Barnwell,
SC.
A spokesman said an inspection of Boston Edison's
Pilgrim nuclear power plant by the federal Nuclear
Regulatory Commission has accounted for all fuel
rods.
Susan Ryers Lott, 31, of Blacksville, S.C., had told
investigators that 26 shipments of spent fuel arrived
for burial at Chem-Nuclear's low-level waste site from
the Pilgrim plant between mid-1977 and January 1978.
Boston Edison officials have denied sending the rods
to Barnwell.
