WASHINGTON - Her face is thin ami drawn, vet serene She appears both stoic and vulnerable, barely out teen-agyears She s hugging a combat helmet, with her face turned slightly upward as if to scan the horizon fur another shipment of mutilated soldiers She is a model statue of a Vietnam War Army nurse If three federal and $1 million in agencies approve d a donations are forthcoming version will wain fie standing in a grove of trees overlooking the Vietnam Memorial, a few hundred feet away from the three bronze combat soldiers w ho keep a silent v igil at The of her e - life-size- e Wall. coOn Friday, a Minneapolis-basealition of former combat nurses tame to Washington to kick off a campaign to build the statue as a tribute to the approximately 10 000 women who served in the I'S military in Vietnam, of which about 7.000 were nurses They also hope it will highlight the fact that eight women whose are among the 58 OoO names are etched into the memorial's stark, black granite wall. Beyond this visible tribute, these female veterans believe that the movement to build the statue will provide a rallying point for the nation's female Vietnam veterans. They believe it will bring them together to talk about their common experiences and thereby promote the same type of camaraderie and outpouring of emotion that their male counterparts experienced at the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial in 1983. We want them to come out, they've been hidden. said Diane Carlson Evans, a former combat nurse from River Falls, Wis., who originated the idea of the nurse statwar-dea- d ue. mother of Evans, a four, said the Idea came to her in 1983 when she was the only woman veteran to attend a Minnesota salute to Vietnam veterans and I began wondering if I was a Vietnam veteran.

The culmination of their initial efforts came Friday when the nation s leading veterans groups, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and the founders ot the Vietnam Memorial, held a press conference to pledge their support. The former nurses gathered here for the event said that Vietnam was especially difficult for the medical corps because of the efficiency of modern medical evacuation he half-doze- n licopters. Men who would have died on the battlefield in earlier wars now arrived at the hospitals mutilated but lucid. We would get men with their arms and legs gone and they would be talking to us, said Evans, who served in field hospitals in 1968-6They wouldn't be in shock yet. They would be begging us to allow them to die but we had to fight to keep them alive. The monument organizers said that the problem of dealing as civilians with the aftershock of such experiences is heightened for the former combat nurses because of the unwritten nurses code of keeping personal feelings submerged. The best way to deal with it was to not think about it, the same way we dealt with stress in Vietnam. said Officials Fear the Death Toll Will Rise From 97 in Solomon Islands Typhoon HONIARA. Solomon Islands With 97 people confirmed dead Friday and at least 35 missing, officials expressed fear that the death toll from Typhoon Namu could rise sharply when reports reach the capital from outlying islands.

Relief efforts centered on airlifting tons of food, medicine and tents to outer areas, where the fate of thousands of people is unknown. The United States has joined the relief effort. Disaster Relief Council spokesman John Selwyn said Saturday four U.S. Air Force Hercules aircraft from Hawaii were expected in Honiara on Sunday.

In 1959, he took his four children on a windjammer cruise to Tahiti in defiance of a court order after winning custody from his second wife, Betty de Noon. Hayden apologized to the court, said he meant no disrespect, and was let off without a fine or jail sentence. "I hate to see what America has become, he said after the Tahiti trip. The philosophy now is 'Gimme, gimme, gimme. . . . It's not only in Hollywood. . . . Hollywood is only an doing," he told the court after his trip. "I was stunned by the decision barring travel.

Murphy United Press International A man with a knife CHICAGO forced his way aboard a Swissair DC- -' 10 at O'Hare International Airport Friday night and held a woman hostage for 30 minutes until the captain persuaded him to surrender, authorities said. Swissair Flight 125 with 133 paC sengers aboard departed for Zurfdr-abo90 minutes after the man sur-rendered to police. The woman who was taken hostage was on the flight, officials said. He forced himself aboard by pushing a gate controller out of his way while we were boarding passengers, Swissair spokesman Walter Stark said. There were about 54 passengers on the plane when the man boarded. The man then demanded to carry a script, a document, of an play to Switzerland, he said. "That was his demand. The incident ended after about 30 minutes, when pilot Martin Borner persuaded the suspect to surrender. "The captain said, quote: Im going to make a deal with you. I'll take your script to Switzerland and you let this lady go and you surrender to police, " Stark said. And at that moment the captain took possession of the document and made a motion to put it in his pocket and the suspect sort of calmed down and gave up." Folice officers who had boarded the plane took the man into custody. Stark said. "The captain handled the situation 100 percent. And yes, the credit goes to him nobody but him." Stark said. ut The suspect, a Bulgarian national, forced his way onto the plane as passengers were boarding and demanded passage to Switzerland to deliver an document, authorities said. The woman suffered a minor cut but declined treatment, and no one else was hurt, police said. The FBI identified the suspect as Georgi J. Dinev. U.S. Expels S.

One former combat nurse came to the press conference unsolicited, and left after handing a slip of papier with her phone number to Stout. Before she hurried away, she told Stout: I haven't talked to anybody about my experiences and I need to." The effort is supported by the American Nurses Association and three other nurses' groups. "We havent had any opposition come forward yet, said Boulay. The group is ready to bring its proposal before the three agencies that must approve it the Fine Arts Commission, Interior Secretary Donald Hodel and the National Capital Planning Commission. Depending on how quickly the agencies act, said Boulay. the goal is to put the statue in place between Veterans Day in 1987 and Memorial Day in 1988. Some 565.000 already has been raised, she said. The $1.2 million is needed to cover the sculptors contract. administrative and construction costs, landscaping fees, and money set aside for upkeep. It will be raised through a combination of corporate giving and small local events such as spaghetti suppers and art exhibits, Boulay said.

Yet Shultz indicated that recalling U.S Ambassador Herman Nickel, as the administration did after a similar South African raid on Botswana in July, is not a likely action at this time ' We must remember an ambassador is in the country to provide representation. and we don't necessarily accomplish something by removing that representation." Shultz said.
