The clergymen counted only 43 hostages during their stay, while the State Department and militant Iranian captors say there are 50. A militant inside the embassy suggested the clergymen counted wrong because they were not allowed to conduct service for all the hostages together. They met separately with the hostages in three different locations after they were admitted to the embassy compound shortly before midnight Christmas Eve. Asked why the clergymen were not allowed to see the hostages together, the militant said: "Most probably some CIA agents were among them (the clergy)." One of the three American Clergymen, Rev. William Sloan Coffin of Manhattan, had earlier in the week castigated President Carter for his handling of the crisis which he likened to the bombing of North Vietnam. The reverend made the remarks in a Sunday sermon to his congregants. He said Carter's call for United Nations' economic sanctions against Iran was "highly reminiscent of Lyndon Johnson's bombing of North Vietnam." He then praised Sen. Kennedy for telling the truth about the shah when the senator described the deposed monarch as one of the century's worst rulers. Coffin said Kennedy's remarks "saved the lives of the hostages." Meanwhile, more anti-Khomeini violence erupted in Iran over the weekend, this time in Baluchistan, in the southeast corner of the country. The Baluchi tribesmen are minority members of the Sunni Moslem sect and have long sought greater self-ru!; from the Shiite Moslems who dominate Iran Fighting between Baluchi and government tro os in the regional capital of Zahedan left 10 people dead over the weekend. Salisbury, Rhodesia Some 500 British Commonwealth Com-monwealth troops arrived here as part of a 1,300-man monitoring force being sent to oversee the cease-lire agreement between leaders of the -.Patriotic Front guerrillas and Rhodesia's biracial government. The peace pact, signed in London last week, is aimed at ending a seven-year guerrilla war and bringing new elections and independence to the territory. Under the accord,, black Prime Minister Abel Muzorewa stepped down, handing authority to Lord Soames, Britian's governor of Rhodesia during the interim period. Most of the 500 soldiers will be monitoring 16 assembly camps for the Patriotic Front guerrillas led by Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. Others will wait at 23 designated rendezvous points where they will escort guerrillas to the assembly camps. At the camps, 16 men under either a major or capital will sit for two months with the armed guerrillas watching for any breaches in the truce. There are an estimated 16,000 guerrillas in the Rhodesian bush. Other Commonwealth troops, quartered in barracks, will monitor more than 40 Rhodesian security force bases elsewhere. Christchurch, New Zealand The Lindblad Explorer, Ex-plorer, a luxury adventure liner catering to wealthy Americans, ran aground on an icy Antarctic An-tarctic island Christmas Day and a Chilean navy vessel rescued 110 passengers Wednesday. A U.S. Navy spokesman said the ship radioed a May Day distress call Tuesday saying it had run aground on Anvers Island some 40 miles from the American Navy base of Palmer Island off the Antarctic Peninsula. There were no injuries and the ship was in no immediate danger of sinking, though its engine room was flooded, a propeller was damaged and the ship was listing five degrees starboard, the Navy spokesman said. Istanbul, Turkey Loretta Dooley, an 18-year-old Californian held in Turkey's "Midnight Express" Ex-press" prison for five months on drug smuggling charges, was scheduled for a Wednesday release following payment of $1,500 bail by U.S. consular officials. Dooley was arrested in Istanbul Aug. 1 when she entered a post office to mail a package of cigarettes, allegedly repacked with hashish, to her sister in California. The court which ordered her release had received a laboratory report that the cigarette package contained 7.25 grams of hashish. Dooley still may face trial, and if convicted of drug smuggling charges she may draw a prison term of up to 10 years in Turkey. Her next hearing has been set for Feb. 5. Cologne, West Germany Police said Sunday they had recovered stolen deutschmarks worth more than $1 million buried in plastic bags and strongboxes at highway interchanges. A police spokesman said the cash was discovered under wooden markers following the arrest Saturday of a former branch manager ot a security firm wanted in connection with a robbery rob-bery in Cologne two weeks ago. Panama City, Panama Panamanian national guardsmen on motorcycles raced into a crowd of students who were demonstrating peacefully against the presence of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in Panama Wednesday. Some 50 guardsmen and about 20 plainclothes security men charged the crowd and beat the protesters with their fists and 18-inch lengths of weighted rubber hose. Miguel Bernal, a University of Panama professor who heads an opposition group, was arrested and beaten by policemen even though he offered no resistance. NATIONAL Washington The 96th Congress ended Friday with final approval for a $1.5 billion aid bill to bail out the ailing Chyrsler' Corp. Under the bill the federal government guarantees $1 5 billion in loans to the automaker, while the company must raise $1.43 billion on its own plus some $600,000 to be contributed by Chrysler workers through frozen wages and concessions in fringe benefits. The Chrysler bill represents the biggest federal bailout of a U.S. company yet. Palo Alto, Calif. Scientists from the Addiction Research Foundation reported ' last week the discovery of a natural brain chemical that is 200 times as powerful as morphine. Called dynorphin, the chemical is the most powerful member of the endorphin family of brain drugs yet discovered. Endorphins "natural morphine" are similar to opium-based opium-based drugs and seem to be a major part of the body's chemical defense against pain, and may play a part in such diseases as schizophrenia and epilepsy. Dr. Avram Goldstein, director of the Addiction Research Foundation, said, "People have turned up other substances that have morphine-like qualities, but they are so weak. With something as powerful as this one, you can't doubt that it has a significant function (in the brain)." Goldstein Gold-stein added that the potential impact of dynorphin, dynor-phin, beyond helping scientists understand the complex workings of the brain, remained to be seen. ':"i . - ... n m I h Washington Record-setting exports i of agricultural commodities and merchandise were credited with putting the nation's international balance of payments some $762 million in the black, despite the rising cost of imported oil. The favorable third quarter report represents the largest recorded surplus for goods and services since the second quarter of 1976. Chippewa Falls, Wis. An 11-year-old boy who had turned blue after being under freezing water for 30 minutes, was revived at St. Joseph's Hospital by a medical staff through the use of adrenalin, electric shock and a heating wrap that circulated 105 degree water around the boy's body. Darven Miller's body was recovered from an ice sheeted creek by local Fire Department rescuers. His lungs were full of water and his body temperature plunged to 82 degrees, but after af-ter an hour and 10 minutes of effort by hospital doctors Miller's heart was again beating. Doctors predict a full recovery. Washington Senate and House conferees agreed last Thursday on a $277.3 billion "windfall-profits" tax but delayed until next month a decision on how to split- the burden among segments of the oil industry. Congressional aids estimated tentatively that the compromise would allow the oil industry to keep about 49 percent of the net "windfall" that will result from the president's decision to phase out federal price controls on U.S. crude oil. By comparison, the $178-billion bill passed by the Senate would have let oil producers keep about 61 percent. The House has passed a $277-billion measure in June that would have netted the industry in-dustry about 38 percent of the "windfall." ' Richmond, Va. A convicted murderer attempted attempt-ed a flying escape from the state penitentiary aboard a makeshift hang glider but he flew like a brick. Vincent Rawlings, 21, made the homemade glider from scraps of wood, rope and sheets, then stored it on the fourth floor of a prison building. Rawlings hauled himself and his glider to the top of the building's roof with a rope and a homemade hook. But instead of sailing to freedom, the would-be-pilot plunged 25 feet onto the guard rails and razor wire that top the prison walls. The inmate suffered from multiple injuries in-juries including several broken bones. Chicago, 111. A southwest side man who took refuge in his garage to listen to taped Christmas music in his car, died of carbon monoxide poisoning, local police said. Allen Boatner, 46, was found Sunday morning by his wife slumped over the wheel of his car, the motor running and the garage door and windows shut, the police said.
