KAMPALA, Uganda — Officials
of Uganda’s new government said
Saturday missing President Idi
Amin’s secret police massacred more
than 100 prisoners with hand gre
nades shortly before the fall of Kam
pala to Tanzanian and Ugandan exile
troops.
President Youssef Lule, sworn in
Friday as Uganda’s new leader, told
a news conference Saturday that
Amin had so far eluded all efforts to
capture him. Diplomatic sources
said the burly dictator, whose reign
of terror killed an estimated 500,000
in eigh years, had already fled the
country.
“Amin is very fast indeed,” Lule
said. “Every time we get near him,
he shows us his heels.”
In his news conference, Lule reit
erated “the rule of law must prevail
in Uganda” and directed the coun
try’s new chief justice to get the
courts working again.
Lule also indicated the United
States would shortly recognize his
government, which was drawn up in
a secret meeting of various Ugandan
exiles in northern Tanzania while the
fighting was still under way to over
throw Amin.

(Editor’s Note: idi Amins most

By CHARLES P. WALLACE
United Press International
KAMPALA, Uganda — Idi Amin’s
house of death is a pleasant-looking,
three-story pink stucco building
tucked away in a quiet part of Kam
pala next to the French ambassador’s
luxurious home.
It looks innocent, but the stench of
death gives it away.
Government officials say as many
as 500,000 people perished at the
hands of Amin’s dreaded State Re
search Bureau agents, many of them
in this headquarters bureau.
The stench was heavy in the
humid tropical air Saturday, notice-
! able a hundred yards away.
1 Seven bloated bodies lay sprawled
in the sun outside, covered with
crawling insects.
The entrance way was
pockmarked by hundreds of bullets,
evidence of the battle for the head
quarters when Tanzanian troops
captured the city Wednesday.
A narrow, dirty staircase led below
ground level to the interrogation
cells. Weapons were scattered
around in heaps.
There was more death down here.
In one 20-by-20-foot concrete cell
seven bodies lay by the walls. One
body was huddled, as if in sleep, at
the foot of the stairs.
The cells had no windows, no air
vents, no sinks or toilets.
Down a tunnel there were six
smaller cells, apparently used for sol
itary confinement. The cell doors
were twisted by the force of grenade
explosions.
Here are the most grisly sights of
all: human bodies torn to pieces by
close-impact grenades.
Arms, legs and heads are scattered
about.
Government officials said at least
100 Ugandan prisoners were killed
here by the secret police as the city
fell.
However, a trooper who helped
capture the headquarters said the
Tanzanians also lobbed grenades
into the cells to flush out State Re
search Bureau agents who were hid
ing there from the invaders.
Upstairs there were a series of or
dinary offices. They held the secrets
of the secret police — the killings,
the spying and the high style
enjoyed killers in a country where
virtually everyone else had forgotten
the taste of salt and sugar.
One room was filled with im
ported radio transmitters. Wire
tapping equipment lay scattered ab
out. Invoices showed the secret
police recently imported hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of West
German BMW automobiles.
There were what appeared to be
American-built memory banks for
computers. Piles of pets, shells and
handcuffs lay scattered around the
floors.
And more bodies. One bloated
corpse was draped over the stairs.
Another lay alone in a room. They
were apparently secret police killed
by the Tanzanians.

Woman gets Easter gift
freedom from bathtub
United Press International
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Be
rtha Johnson prayed for one thing
Easter Sunday — freedom from her
bathtub — and she got it.
The 88-year-old woman, living
alone and afflicted with Parkinson’s
disease and severe arthritis, decided
to bathe last Wednesday. But she
didn’t have the strength to get out
when she finished.
For four days, she stayed in the
tub.
A small girl, en route to church
early Sunday, heard the woman’s
feeble cries for help and told her
grandmother. An ambulance squad
rushed in and found Mrs. Johnson
exhausted, thirsty and famished.
“I prayed somone would find me
today,” Mrs. Johnson said.
At Charleston General Hospital,
nurses found her sore, tired and
“very disoriented, very upset.”
She slept peacefully, though, after
a hot meal.
Mrs. Johnson became trapped in
her old porcelain tub on another
holiday — Christmas Eve in 1977.
Neighbors beard cries for help and
helped her She spent 38 hours in the
tub then.
After that experience, a plumber
installed a handrail. But over the
weekend, Mrs. Johnson lacked
strength to pull herself out.

United Press International
HOUSTON — Railroad officials
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today will be asked by a
panel of congressmen to explain why
fees for hauling millions of tons of
coal across the nation have risen as
much as 60 percent since 1976.
Investigators, led by Rep. Bob
Eckhardt, D-Texas, and the staff of
his Subcommittee on Oversight and
Investigations, want to know
whether ambiguous language in new
railroad regulations has confused the
ICC and left it at the mercy of the rail
industry for self-serving statistics
used in rate-setting.
During hearings in Houston today
and San Antonio Tuesday, the com
mittee staff will offer evidence that
operating 100-car unit trains on
nonstop, 1,600-mile trips such as
those that originate at Wyoming
mines “is like child’s play” and there
fore undeserving of steady price
boosts.
The outcome could affect the price
of manufactured goods and utility
costs from the Atlantic Coast to the
Rockies and lead to another revision
of railroad economic rules.
A committee economist said no
one is alleging price gouging. Inves-
jtigators, in fact, may lean more heav
ily on the ICC than the railroads be
cause the commission has never
stated its methods for evaluating rate
increase requests since passage in
1976 of the Railroad Revitalization
and Regulatory Reform Act.
The law provided 24 months for
the ICC to develop standards to
ensure the railroads were operating
under “honest, economic and effi
cient managements.”
“It’s now been 36 months and the
ICC still does not have such proce
dures and standards,” the economist
said.

have said Amin would hang if caught
and tried, Lule was cautious in his
comments on the fallen dictator.
“It has been alleged Amin has
committed crimes against human
ity,” Lule said. “The evidence will
have to be examined. I am not a
judge.”
Amin has not been seen or heard
from in several days and there was
growing evidence he may already
have left the country. CIA Director
Stansfield Turner said in Washing
ton recently that Amin’s immediate
family was in exile in Iraq, but it was
not known if he planned to join them
there.
Diplomatic sources Amin’s per
sonal jet, given to him in happier
times as a gift by Israel, had been
refueled at the Soroti air base some
140 miles northeast of Kampala and
he had probably left the country
aboard it.
These sources also said the per
sonal car of Amin’s latest wife, the
young and beautiful “Miss Sarah,”
also had been found in northern
Uganda abandoned near the Zaire
border.
In perhaps the most grisly discov
ery in the aftermath of the liberation
of Kampala, officials found the torn
remains of an estimated 100 prison
ers at the headquarters of the State
Research Bureau, Amin’s dreaded
secret police.
Officials said that when it became
clear Kampala would fall to invading
Tanzanian and Ugandan exile troops
last Wednesday, agents at the State
Research Bureau lobbed grenades
into interrogation rooms packed with
defenseless prisoners.
In a visit to the headquarters
Saturday, the brutality of Amin’s re
gime was apparent everywhere.
Bodies still littered the capital
from the final battle for Kampala,
which finally fell to Tanzanian and
Ugandan exile liberators at dawn
Wednesday.
An employee of the city mortuary
charged with collecting dead bodies
from the streets reported he had
picked up 200 on Saturday alone and
expected the figure to more than
double once all had been found.
Military officials said one body
found near the capital’s International
Conference Center, was believed to
be that of white, British-born Bob
Astles, one of Amin’s closest confid
ants and most notorious aides who
was also wanted for questioning for
many murders.
Government sources also re
ported that Lule’s new administra
tion had demanded $1 billion from
Libya for the lives of 40 Libyan mili
tary prisoners captured during the
fighting.
The sources said Libyan
strongman. Col. Moammar Khadafy,
had countered with an offer of $400
million and that negotiations were
continuing.
Khadafy, virtually Amin’s only
remaining ally, sent some 2,000 Li
byan troops to Uganda to help de
fend Amin. But, as the Tanzanians
claimed victory after victory and
Amin’s army began to collapse,
Khadafy hastily withdrew most of the
Libyan forces to prevent them being
captured or killed.
