Navy base in the British colony. A
ninth survivor was taken aboard a
Canadian frigate.
Crew members of the Zawisa
Czarny said seas were high Sunday
morning and suddenly one wave
struck the bow of the Marques, fol
lowed by another giant wave.
“They (the survivors) told us it
happened at four o’clock in the
morning when the watch, or the
crew, was changing,” said Jerzy Albi-
mah, chief mate of the schooner.
“They said at one moment there
was a big wind and a big wave and
the hull was turned over. It was
pounding and rolling. The sails were
flattened. They were on the ocean.
“They tried to hold down the sails.
It was impossible, and at last they
tried to cut the ropes but it did not
help. They said it took half a minute
for the ship to sink. It was turned
upside down,” Albimah said.
Everybody who was below deck
never came out, the survivors told
their rescuers. Those who were on
watch on deckjumped over the side.
The crew members said there was
not even time to send a May Day dis
tress signal.
The eight survivors rescued by
the Polish ship were aboard three in
flatable life rafts when they were
spotted, the rescue vessel’s chief
mate said.
The dead American crewman was
identified as James F. McAleer, 47,
of Quincy, Mass., a spokesman for
the Quincy Police Department said.
Three Canadian warships, each
equipped with a helicopter, and a
U.S. Navy craft with infrared equip
ment for night operations, searched
for the 18 missing people, said Coast
Guard spokesman Johnny Ludlow.
Among the missing were the
ship’s skipper, Stuart Finlay, his wife
and 15-month-old baby, and several
cadets, ranging in age from 15 to 21,
from the Sail Training Association
in Newport, R.I.

The attack, reported by the offi

near an area where both sides are
massing troops in anticipation of a
Blew Iranian ground offensive
pgainst Iraq in their S'/u-year war.
The report, quoting the Baghdad

tanker, the 153,000-ton Buyuk Hun,
was hit by an Iraqi missile and set ab

In Ankara, acting Foreign Min
ister Mesut Yilmaz hinted Turkey
might ban Turkish vessels from en

The Nicosia-based Middle East

were resorting to tanker movements
by night to escape air raids by the
two combatants in the Gulf War.
Khamenei told Bitat that Iran did
not want to expand the war to other
areas of the Gulf, but said Tehran
would “retaliate decisively” against
recent incidents in the waterway, the
radio said.
He did not specifically threaten
retaliation against the Iraqi raid on
the Buyuk Hun.
Algeria, which has good relations
with both Iraq and Iran, has at

1980 to mediate peace.

Snakebite season starts again
teachers, a.® me
University News Service
It’s snakebite season again and
to exercise caution, warns
exas A&M University wildlife spe-
lialistDr. Fred Hendricks.
“Chances are only four in ten that
a poisonous snake will release venom
when it bites,” said Hendricks of
Texas A&M’s Department of Wild-
lored... orMhe and Fisheries Sciences, “but
. t0 Jjsfoup that’s no excuse not to be cautious.”
The fatality rate from snake bite is
^extremely low. Less than one per-
ientof the victims who are struck die
from 2,000-plus bites annually re-
|)orted nationwide, he said.
“If you encounter a snake, simply
valk away,” Hendricks said. “Most
bakes are not aggressive, and most
ban/snake encounters go unnoticied
by man. In any case, an average per
son can outrun a snake.

“Nearly all bites occur from peo
ple handling snakes, rather than be
ing suprised by one. Most of the
bites should come as no suprise. I
can recall seeing a bunch of young
men along the highway playing with
a huge rattlesnake. They had that
snake so hacked off that if it had bit
ten, it could have killed one of
them.”
Snakes are most active between
April and mid-June because it is
their mating season, Hendricks said.
Hendricks said people should
learn to distinguish one snake from
another, pointing out that rattles
nakes, copperheads, cottonmouths
(all pit vipers) and coral snakes are
considered dangerous in Texas.

fallen limbs,
boards, tin or other objects on
ground this summer.
“They ought to get rid of debris,”
he said. “If they did, it would reduce
the likelihood of a snake being
around. Don’t lift anything towards
you. Lift things away from you so
that a snake won’t be staring you in
the eye.”
There’s no standard procedure to
treat snakebites, Hendricks said, al
though most doctors would advise
remaining calm, avoiding unneces
sary movement and putting a con
stricting band above the bite to slow
down but not cut off the blood flow.
Then go immediately to the hospital.
“There’s so much controversy
about how to treat snakebites that
the best cure seems to be to learn to
avoid snakes and not get bitten in
the first place,” he said.

A system to extract clean water
from oilfield waste — patented two
years ago by a Texas A&M chemist
— will be one of 10 exhibits from
American small businesses to be dis
played at the New Orlean’s World
Fair, where the U.S. theme is “Water
for the World.”
Dr. Rod O’Connor, professor of
chemistry and president of Texas
ROMEC Inc. through which the sys
tem was patented, said a small work
ing display of the water cleanup sys
tem will be exhibited through Nov.
11 by the Small Business Adminis
tration.
About 45,000 people a day are ex
pected to view the SBA exhibits.
O’Connor and more than a dozen
others worked after hours to perfect
the system, which operates on a re
verse osmosis principle to filter
enough oil or other wastes to make
water safe to drink.
Larger systems — able to process
10,000 gallons a day — could pro
vide emergency drinking water dur
ing floods or other disasters. In ad
dition, thousands of dollars worth of
petroleum could be recovered by us
ing the process to squeeze more oil
from wastes, O’Connor said.
ROMEC was founded in 1980 by
a group of Texas A&M faculty mem
bers as a spare-time invention and
research firm.
Salvadorans seek
archbishop’s killer
United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
— President Jose Napoleon
Duarte’s new government has be
gun investigating the killing of a
popular archbishop in the first
step of a crackdown on death
squads, a government official said
Monday.
Julio Adolfo Rey Prendes,
Duarte’s chief of staff, said the
March 24, 1980 assassination of
Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Ro
mero was the first of “two or three
big cases” the government was
starting to investigate.
Other political murders at the
top of the list for investigation
were the 1980 assassinations of
two high-ranking Christian Dem
ocrats, Mario Zamora and Melvin
Orellana, Rey Prendes said.
Duarte, the Christian Demo
crat leader sworn in on Friday,
has ordered a special armed
forces unit trained oy the FBI to
investigate death squad activities,
government sources said.
There are reports that the unit
will investigate Hector Regalado
and Juan Ramon Gonzalez, two
bodyguards for ultra-rightist
leader Roberto d’Aubuisson, who
lost the May 6 presidential runoff
election to Duarte.
Government officials were not
immediately available for com
ment. D’Aubuisson has been ac
cused of having links to the death
squads.
Rey Prendes has said a cleanup
of human rights abuses must pre
cede any peace talks with leftist
guerrillas. He said such talks
could not begin for six months to
a year.
Romero, an outspoken critic of
army repression and right-wing
political killings, was shot to death
by a rifleman in March 1980 as he
said mass in a San Salvador cha
pel.
Mario Zamora was a director of
Duarte’s Christian Democratic
Party and his brother Ruben, also
once a top Christian Democrat,
joined the guerrilla political lead
ership after the assassination.
The army, meanwhile, has put
three security forces most often
blamed for human rights abuses
under a unified command, a top
officer said.
Col. Reynaldo Lopez Nuila,
newly appointed deputy defense
minister for public security, said
he is coordinating the command
of the National Police, Treasury
Police and the National Guard.
Rand McNally helps vacationers save money
Lodging guide offers
money-saving ideas
United Press International
One of the greatest boons for va
cationers traveling in the United
States is Rand McNally’s new two-
volume guide of places to stay over
night for less than $35 for two peo
ple.
The guide, titled “Lodgings for
Le$$,” has been published in East
ern States and Western States vol
umes, roughly those states on either
side of the Mississippi River.
Every accommodation listed is in
spected annually by Rand McNally
field representatives.
The guide includes motels, hotels,
inns, cottage colonies, guest ranches
and resorts and describes credit
cards honored and foreign lan
guages spoken.
Since budget lodgings are scarce
in such large cities as Chicago, Dal
las, St. Louis and Los Angeles, lodg
ings in surrounding areas are sug
gested. New York City isn’t even
included.
Other features include listing of
senior citizen discounts, free lodging
for children, discount coupons for
attractions throughout the country,
recreational facilities on or near the
premises, coin laundries, picnic fa
cilities, location of nearest restau
rants and special equipment for the
handicapped.
The guide rates accommodations
with one, two or three stars and re
serves a “good value” rating for
those establishments in each cat
egory for especially well-maintained
facilities and an extraordinary num
ber of appointments for the cost.
Minimum rates always are under
$35 but maximum rates may go over
this figure, up to as much as $50.
