United Press International
TEHRAN, Iran — Former U S.
Attorney General Ramsey Clark
Tuesday condemned the aborted
U.S. hostage rescue mission as “a
lawless act” and said further use of
force for the freedom of the captives
would be “unacceptable.”
Clark spoke to reporters as the 10-
member American delegation he
leads attended the second day of an
“International Conference on U.S.
Interventions in Iran,” called by
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to
publicize the U.S. rescue attempt.
The delegation arrived Monday
despite President Carter’s ban on
American travel to Iran.
“As I said in the United States
since it happened, it was very hard
for many of us to believe that it hap
pened,” Clark said of the aborted
rescue mission.
“It was a lawless act,” Clark said.
“It is unthinkable that any govern
ment that is devoted to constitution
al principles and to the rule of law
would even believe that it had a right
to intervene with a military force in
the territory of another nation half
way around the world,” Clark said.
“As to the purpose of the mission,
I don’t know,” Clark said. “I am in
terested in hearing the explanations
during this conference that seem to
me to imply that many here think
that the mission was to secure the
release of the hostages.”
“That may be. I don’t know,” he
said. “It is hard for me to see how it
could have been accomplished,
though, without the deaths of many
innocent people, including the hos
tages.”
“The way to release the hostages is
for the Iranian people and their
strength and magnitude to do it. And
(it) is unacceptable to do it by force. ”
Clark, who said Monday he hoped
his trip would establish a dialogue
that “will lead to release of the hos
tages,” said Tuesday he wanted to
stay in Iran after the conference to
meet with government officials.
George Wald, a Harvard biologist
and Nobel Prize winner who is a
member of the American delegation,
said he hoped the group would be
able to meet with Khomeini before
winding up its visit to Iran.
Officials in Washington were ob
viously angered by Clark’s trip and
said they would look into bringing
possible criminal or civil charges
against him and the other Amer
icans.
Speeches at Tuesday’s conference
session centered on denunciations of
THE BATTALION Page 7
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1980
the United States, the United Na
tions, international law and the In
ternational Court of Justice, which
recently called on Iran to free the
hostages.
An Italian delegate urged Iran to
free the hostages, saying the release
of the captives “would remove an
obstacle in the way of the Islamic
revolution.”
Conference officials did not iden
tify the speaker, but Italian sources
said he was Vincenzo Berteletti,
head of the Italian confederation of
workers.

850 Cubans towed into port
Crew faces arrest
United Press International The Coast Guard cutter Dallas put
KEY WEST, Fla. — The rusting
Panamanian freighter Red Diamond
V, crammed with 850 Cuban re
fugees including a newborn infant,
headed for the old Navy Base Docks
Tuesday at the end of a Coast Guard
Cutter’s towline.
The freighter, which spent much
of Monday wandering around the
Florida Straits unable to land, had
engine problems during the night
and was taken in tow by the Point
Spencer early today, Coast Guard
spokesman Mike Kelley said. He
said the ship was unable to go in
reverse, making docking difficult.
Another Coast Guard spokesman,
Mike Ayres, said the Red Diamond’s
skipper, all crew members and any
others aboard who might have char
tered the vessel to pick up refugees
in Cuba would be arrested.
He said the principal violation
would be a criminal charge of im
porting illegal aliens, a charge that
carries a maximum fine of $2,000 for
each alien and a prison sentence.
The Red Diamond, a 118-foot
freighter flying the Panamanian flag,
left the Cuban port of Mariel at 7:30
a. m. Monday at the head of a flotilla
of about 50 to 60 smaller American
craft hauling refugees. Coast Guard
cutters intercepted it in the Florida
Straits and told the skipper, identi
fied as a Captain Phillips, that, as a
foreign-flag vessel, he would violate
U.S. immigration laws if he landed
his passengers in the United States.
The Red Diamond spent the re
mainder of the day and most of the
night meandering slowly across the
Straits, at one point heading for the
Bahamas. Meanwhile, the State De
partment communicated with the
government of Panama to see what
could be done.
At 7:10 p.m. Monday, Ayres said,
Phillips radioed a request for im
mediate assistance. “The master said
he had numerous medical problems
aboardr inehiding a 4-month-old in
fant who had stopped breathing and
a woman with a burned hand, ” Ayres
said.
a medical corpsman, who was not
identified, aboard the freighter. He
communicated with doctors aboard
the Navy amphibious dock transport
vessel Shreveport to handle the
medical emergencies on board the
freighter, “including delivery of a
baby,” Ayres said.
“I assume the mother and baby are
okay or else they would have re
ported otherwise,” Ayres added.
The burned woman and the child
with breathing problems were air
lifted to Shreveport.
During the Red Diamond’s dock
ing dilemma, American boats began
pouring late Monday into Key West.
By midnight, 14 craft had landed
2,270 more Cubans. That brought
the 43-day sea lift total to 96,980 re
fugees.
U.S. authorities obviously intend
to make an example of the Red Di
amond because they fear the use of
foreign flag vessels is an attempt to
evade President Carter’s May 14
order to halt the dangerous sealift of
Cubans to the United States.
An even larger Panamanian ship,
the 276-foot Rio Indio, set sail from
Grand Cayman, south of Cuba, and
entered Mariel harbor Sunday after
being warned by the Coast Guard
cutter Courageous it would violate
U.S. laws if it attempted to bring
Cubans to the United States.
“These vessels do not come under
the same control as U.S. vessels and
pose the problem of a continuing
boat lift in violation of President Car
ter’s directive — under the Castro
government’s terms -— and not U. S.
terms,” the Coast Guard statement
said.
There were conflicting reports
Monday about the number of Amer
ican boats still in Mariel Bay waiting
to bring out refugees. Radio Havana
announced Monday morning there
were 220 boats at Mariel. Coast
Guard officers estimated less than
100.
