This scenario, still subject to Somoza’s approval of final guaran tees for the physical and political safety of his national guard, was hammered out in lengthy, indirect negotiations between the junta and Somoza, using the U.S. diplomats as go-betweens on both ends. mb assy siege nds; remaining ostages freed United Press International JKARA, Turkey — With hugs handshakes for Turkish au- ities, four youthful Palestinian rists peacefully ended their y 48-hour occupation of the tian Embassy and freed all ti remaining hostages. ■ the end, it was the most un- "'V I /"lfYir|y ofa g ents - ^6 Palestine Liber- J1U 11 Organization, that convinced Of' I gunmen Sunday they had as Bi to gain from playing victory It- £1 B the embassy balcony as by Boking a bloodbath inside.

Others close to the negotiations expected Somoza to leave this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday. U.S. Ambassador Lawrence S. Pezullo, sent to obtain Somoza’s res ignation as a prelude to end the war, has met four times with the strongman in the past four days. U.S. special envoy William Rowdier has met in marathon sessions with the five-member junta in San Jose, Costa Rica. The foreign ministers of the An dean bloc — Venezuelan, Colom bia, Ecuador, Peru and Boliva — met in Caracas, Venezuela Monday, reportedly to map out for Somoza’s and the junta’s approval a plan for an orderly transfer of power. A Venezulenan government plane flew from Managua to Caracas Sun day with leaders of the Broad Op position Front and two prominent Nicaraguans, Red Cross President Ismael Reyes and Msgr. Miguel Obando y Bravo, Roman Catholic archbishop of Managua, to confer with the foreign ministers. The Broad Opposition Front is not part of the Sandinista National Liberation front, but it has endorsed the junta, which has one Opposition Front representative among its five members. On battlefronts, fighting was gen erally light Sunday with heaviest ac tion at Matagalpa, where guerrillas appeared ready to take the last na tional guard holdout force at the Picado Lyceum, a hilltop schoolhouse outside of town.

I 3109 Texas Avenue Bryan, Texas 77801 But one Egyptian diplomat who dropped from a third-story window was killed and another who also made the desperate leap was se riously injured. Steel-helmeted troops in battle dress took positions around the building directed by a bevy of gen erals and ministers from a makeshift command post across the street. The gunmen, members of the maverick “Eagles of the Palestinian Revolution,” demanded Turkey break diplomatic relations with Egypt. Turkish Premier Bulent Ecevit balked and dared the gun men to act. Egypt reluctantly gave its permission for Turkish troops to launch an all-out assault if neces sary. But two hours before the deadline that the premier’s aides said he had set to storm the building, the PLO mediators broke through. One of the mediators left the building, reported to Interior Minister Hasan Fehmi Gunes, and with a wave toward the balcony walked back up the 200 stairs lead ing to the embassy. Minutes later the four gunmen, flanked by the second PLO mediator, appeared on the balcony smiling and waving to 2,000 awe struck troops and police gathered in assault formation below. The gunmen, unfazed and appar ently unarmed, began shouting “Long live Palestine! Long live the Palestinian revolution!” through a bullhorn provided by Turkish au thorities. Later they chipped in, “Long live Turkey.” The astonishing performance con tinued for 10 minutes. Taking a cue from television talk shows, the gunmen brought out Interior Minister Gunes — master mind of the propaganda-for-lives deal — and Ambassador Ulama for guest appearences. Each man was greeted with a round of handshakes. Gunes got several hugs. One tousle-haired Palestinian in an open-necked shirt yanked the arm of the blue-suited ambassador in a theatrical salute and the little group of hostages behind them shuf fled and smiled awkwardly. Asked the fate of the terrorists, Ecevit said, “They are not going to leave Turkey.” On Saturday, offi cials had offered to let the Palesti nians leave the country if they freed the hostages.
