BOGOTA, Colombia — About 25
leftist guerrillas shot their way into
the Palace of justice Wednesday, hut
three hours later troops stormed the
court building, seizing the lower
three floors and freeing more than
100 hostages.
Guerrillas of the April 19
Movement were believed to be hold
ing about a dozen judges on the
fourth floor of the five-story struc
ture, including Supreme Court Pres
ident Alfsonso Reyes. He was con
tacted by telephone and said, “If the
government doesn’t cut off its attack
there could be a tragedy here.”
A police lieutenant said reports
indicated the guerrillas were holding
at least 10 Supreme Court and fetl-
eral judges in addition to Reyes
along with an unknown number of
government employees.
The Bogota mayor’s office re
ported that four policemen and sol
diers had been killed and about a
dozen were wounded.
There were conflicting reports on
the number of guerrillas slain. The
mayor’s office said four were known
killed, while earlier reports by two
radio stations said two were slain in
the initial gun battles and at least 15
more were killed during the army
assault.
Reyes told radio station Todelar,
“We are here with a large number of
judges as hostages and it is a ques
tion of life or death that the gunfire
stop. Please pass that on so the presi
dent will give the order to stop the
-attack.”
As the judge spoke, bursts of sub
machine gun fire could be heard
from Reyes’ office on the fourth
floor of the building.
Radio stations said President Beli-
sario Betancur’s brother, federal
Judge Jaime Betancur, was amoi
more tnan 100 court offidalsai
workers who escaped unhamid
from the building (luring andaflti

President Betancur met with hs
Cabinet in an emergency session,
no details were given.
There were reports the guerris
were demanding that Betancurgi

Sen. Dole says full Senate
may subpoena Soviet saila
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Ma
jority Leader Robert Dole is putting
together a plan to have the full Sen
ate subpoena Soviet sailor Miroslav
Medvid in a bid to forestall his re
turn from New Orleans to the Soviet
Union, aides said Wednesday.
A Dole spokesman, Waft Riker,
said staff members were hastily put
ting together a resolution to.be acted
on by the lawmakers as early as
Thursday that would require Med-
vid’s appearance before an ad hoc
panel of six senators on Friday.
“It’s an exploratory maneuver,”
said Riker. “It’s not set in concrete,
but we’re pursuing it” and cooperat-
tht ~
ing with the Reagan administration
on the matter.
Riker said the plan had the appro-

val of Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., who
first advanced the idea and had pro
posed to have Medvid appear before
nis Senate Agriculture Committee.
“We want to use the legitimate au
thorities that we have to give this fel
low one more chance to walk out of
the gulag,” said George Dunlop,
committee staff director.

Yurchenko leaves U.S. claiming kidnapped
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Smiling
broadly, former KGB official Vitaly
Y urchenko boarded a Soviet airliner
and flew home late Wednesday, cap
ping a bizarre twist in an East-West
spy drama in which the defector be
came an accuser against the nation
that offered him a new life.
After a half-hour motorcade f rom
the Soviet embassy to Dulles Inter
national Airport outside Washing
ton, Yurchenko walked brisklv past
three State Department officials,
leading an entourage of about 20 So
viets into the jet that earlier had re
turned Ambassador Anatoly Dobry
nin from pre-summit talks in
Moscow.
Before being allowed to leave,
Yurchenko apparently satisfied U.S.
authorities that he was returning to
the Soviet Union on his own accord,
without coercion. No one knew what
kind of reception awaited him in
Moscow but experts here predicted a
bleak future for him.
Yurchenko, wearing a brown suit
and biege overcoat, grinned as he
took his last steps on U.S. soil, offer
ing a brief wave to reporters befon
stepping inside the plane.
American officials had said Yur
chenko defected in Rome in Augusi
