The Sherman Edwards-conceiv ed play deals with the hot Phila delphia debate and the throes leaders of the 13 colonies went through in determining to become a new nation. One patriot, John Adams, tries to stir delegates to come to action and give a base for General Wash ington’s fighting with British troops. All Adams gets for his trouble from the other delegates is a thundering chorus: “Sit down, John!” “1776” chronicle’s steps that led to appointment of Thomas Jef ferson as a committee of one to draft a statement of intent. It reveals wheeling and dealing by which sectional interests were ac commodated until all delegates were finally persuaded by July 4th to sign Jefferson’s immortal document. CHILEAN Hector Faye, who drove 7,000 miles to Arlington, Tex. from Chimbarongo, Chile, poses with the 1927 truck he drove and must sell in order to finance his trip home. The six-month trip started as a joke. Faye was accompanied by a friend who stopped off at San Antonio. They spent about $700 between them because they had to ship the truck from Colombia to Panama via boat. (AP Wirephoto) Pilots 9 missions track pollutants Guerrilla’s hostage freed LOS ALAMOS, N.M. <A>) — Scientists are using an atmos pheric sampling program to build a library of pollution “fin gerprints” that eventually may be used to tell where a offending particle comes from, where it goes and how long it remains in the air.

RB57 aircraft from the 58th Weather Reconnaissance Squad ron at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque fly air sampling missions within a 500-to 600-mile radius of Albuquerque once or twice a week, a Kirtland spokes man said. They collect particles from clearly identifiable pollution sources such as the coal-fired power plants in northwest New Mexico and sawmill waste burn ers, isolated from other pollu tion sources by areas of relative ly clean air. “Such isolation in a relatively clean area makes it possible to develop techniques for charac terizing chemical composition and size changes in particles from various sources at dis tances up to hundreds of miles from a source,” a laboratory spokesman said. TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (A>)_ Stricken by a heart ailment, American agronomist Claude L. Fly was given his freedom Tues day night after nearly seven months in the hands of terrorist kidnapers. He was being treated at the British hospital in Montevideo, but the hospital made no state ment about his condition. Officials said the 64-year-old Fly’s abductors brought him to the hospital in a small truck and left him at the door. “Fly spoke with me,” said U.S. Ambassador Charles D. Adair, one of the first to arrive at the hospital after Fly’s release was made known. “The conversation was brief because he has to rest,” Adair said. “He can’t talk with anyone now. He is isolated in the hospi tal and will remain under rigo rous medical attention for three to four weeks.” The Tupamaros still hold Brit ish Ambassador Geoffrey Jacks on, who was kidnaped Jan. 8.

Fly, of Fort Collins, was kid naped one week after the sei zure of Brazilian Consul Aloysio Dias Gomide. The Brazilian was freed Feb. 21 after his family reportedly paid a ransom of at least $250,000. There have been reports the Tupamaros asked $1 million as ransom for Fly. The guerrillas abducted police expert Dan Mitrione of Richmond, Ind., the same day they seized Dias Gomide. The Uruguayan government refused to release 150 political prisoners in exchange for Mitrione and Dias Gomide, and Mitrione was killed Aug. 9. The Tupamaros have staged seven political kidnapings in the past two years. Fly reportedly had suffered from a heart ailment once be fore, prior to the kidnaping. The kidnaping raised pleas from the international educational cir cles, for his release on humani tarian grounds. The pleas went unanswered. Interior Minister Santiago de Brum Carbajal said of Fly’s re lease: “It gives me enormous sat isfaction to announce that Fly is free after having been infamous ly detained by some delinquents.” The Uruguayan government has refused to negotiate in any way for kidnap victims.

A journalist for the Argentine magazine Panorama said Fly spent much of his time in cap tivity playing cards and read ing. He said he interviewed the agronomist in a secret hideout last December and that Fly told him he had learned to play the local card game known as La Conga and no Tupamaro could beat him. The newsman said Fly read the Bible regularly and had finished about 25 other books, most of them on technical subjects. He! said Fly usually slept well, but sometimes would lie awake at! night. “I think of the situation in Uruguay and ask why this has happened to me, why me?” Fly 1 was quoted as saying. Mrs. Fly claimed last Sept. 181 that U.S. officials were thwart-' ing a private effort to gain her husband’s release. She said officials in Washing ton had convinced her son, John and daughter, Rita, that such a method was impractical. Mitrione, 50, father of nine, was shot twice in the head. He was found bound, gagged and blindfolded in a car in a poor section of Montevideo. Marks on his wrists indicated he might have been handcuffed during most of his captivity. Margin of 80 votes refuse ballot to Liechtenstein women VADUZ, Liechtenstein (A*) — The men of little Liechtenstein kept up the barriers against women’s lib Sunday, deciding by a mere 80 ballots not to give women the vote. In a nationwide referendum demonstrated in the streets of Vaduz and elsewhere after the result. Banners bore the slogans: “We are ashamed of Liechten stein,” “What’s happened to your manhood?” and “Do your own dirty work.” the male burghers of the world’s smallest hereditary monarchy de cided 1,897 to 1,817 against female suffrage. Only four nations—Jordan, Ku wait, Saudi Arabia and Yemen— still do not grant women the vote. Groups of jeering young women About 70 per cent of the eligible 5,000 male voters turned out for the balloting. Although both political parties recommended a vote in favor, the men were prob- j ably conscious of one important factor—they are outnumbered by j women in Liechtenstein.
