OAKDALE, La. (AP) — Cuban
inmates Sunday threw down their
weapons and released the 26 hos
tages they had held for eight days at
a burned-out federal prison after a
Cuban-born bishop urged them to
accept a government agreement.
At the riot-torn Atlanta federal
penitentiary, Cuban inmates re
leased four of their hostages early
Sunday, leaving 90 people still cap
tive.
The freed hostages, some of them
grinning broadly, walked from the
Federal Detention Center near Oak
dale at 2:25 p.m.
Cheering and weeping relatives
ran alongside the bus that carried
the men to Humana Hospital in
Oakdale for checkups. All of the
hostages appeared to be in good
health, Louis Deumite, the hospital’s
executive director, said.
After releasing the hostages, some
of the 950 Cuban inmates threw
their homemade knives, clubs, ham
mers and boards studded with nails
into a pile in the yard of the deten
tion center. One Cuban waved an
American flag.
Cubans seized control of the fa
cility on Nov. 21 and the federal
penitentiary in Atlanta two days
later in riots sparked by a govern
ment announcement that many in
mates would be returned to Cuba.
The inmates demanded that they
be allowed to remain in the United
States.
Federal officials have said they
would delay any deportations until
the Cubans’ cases could be reviewed
individually.
The rioting left one person dead,
53 people injured and the prisons
badly damaged by fires and looting.
About a half-hour after the hos
tages were released, four represen
tatives of the inmates signed the
agreement with the government.
The signing was witnessed, at the in
mates’ insistence, by Auxiliary
Bishop Agustin Roman of Miami’s
Roman Catholic archdiocese.
J.D. Williams, a regional director
of the federal Bureau of Prisons who
was the government’s chief negotia
tor, refused to reveal details of the
agreement, saying it might jeopar
dize negotiations with Cubans in At
lanta.
The agreement followed a video
taped appeal by Agustin Roman,
who urged the Cubans to release
their hostages and sign the pact with
federal authorities.
Attorney General Edwin Meese
III, in a statement released by the
Justice Department in Washington,
said, “While this is understandably a
time of rejoicing and thanksgiving,
the Department of Justice will not
rest until the situation in Atlanta is
also peacefully concluded and all the
hostages there are released.”
Williams said about 200 Cubans,
classified as minimum-security pris
oners, will be sent from Oakdale to
the Army base at Fort Polk, La.
The rest will remain at Oakdale,
where they would reside in four un
damaged dormitories until they
could be processed and transferred
to any of more than 40 other federal
lockups across the nation, Williams
said.
On Sunday, Atlanta inmates used
a tractor inside the compound to
gather garbage and dump it into a
pit. Outside the prison walls, Special
Weapons and Lactics teams went
through their exercises.
Lawmakers to form details
of deficit-reduction policy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
gressional bargainers took four
grueling weeks to fashion a $76 bil
lion, two-year deficit-reduction pact
with the Reagan administration.
And that is just the beginning.
Lawmakers returning from their
weeklong Thanksgiving recess now
must chisel into law the details of the
agreement — whose taxes will be in
creased, which programs will be
slashed — and also enact federal
spending bills for the year.
Their goal is to complete the task
in about three weeks, in time for
Christmas week.
To accomplish so much in what
for Congress is so little time, legis
lative leaders will have to get rare
levels of obedience from House and
Senate members.
October’s stock market collapse
created a sense of urgency that
sparked the talks.
But it still took four weeks to work
out a deal because of the complexi
ties of balancing the White House’s
distaste for taxes with the Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress’ desire to
cut defense and protect domestic
programs.
Yet enacting the deficit-reduction
agreement will be just as delicate a
political juggling act.
Two separate bills will have to be
passed conforming with the pact. To
achieve that, numerous players will
have to be made to march in line: A
dozen congressional committees that
will be protecting their turf and a
Senate- and House-full of politicians
intent on guarding their electoral fu
tures.
In addition, Reagan administra
tion officials are likely to have some
input into the shaping of the bills,
further complicating the process.
One measure would raise $9 bil
lion in taxes in the 1988 fiscal year,
which began Oct. 1, and $14 billion
more next year.
It also is supposed to adjust gov
ernment benefit programs such as
Medicare, farm supports and stu
dent loans, as well as federal work
ers’ salaries, to save $4 billion more,
and include billions of dollars in as
set sales and other items.
Paradoxically, the defense spend
ing bill already approved by the
House appropriations committee
contained less spending than the
deficit-reduction package would al
low.
♦
Thus, the lawmakers will have to
figure out how to distribute about $4
billion in additional military spend
ing, up to $285.4 billion.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The heirs of elderly Wis
consin residents who needed county welfare money
during the Great Depression to pay a 90-cent electric
bill or buy a $ 1.50 pair of shoes may get a surprise after
their relatives die.
Some Wisconsin counties and municipalities require
that people who got local welfare relief, no matter how
long ago, pay it back.
However, neither the county nor, in many cases, the
family, will find out about the bill until the recipient has
died, county officials said.
In one case earlier this fall, the Rock County Social
Services Department billed the estate of an 86-year-old
woman for $100.21.
Irene Schwengels, a coal miner’s widow with two tod
dlers, got assistance in 1935 and 1936. She used $5.72
for a ton of coal to heat the home, $19.63 to see a doctor
and the rest for food.
The demand for repayment incensed her sister, Enid
Wichelt of Beloit.
“I can see going back 10 years, but to go back 50
years . . . that was the Depression and people were star
ving,” Wichelt said. “It isn’t the money, it’s the prin
ciple.”
However, officials in Rock and Milwaukee counties
and the city of Madison also argue principle in collect
ing the half-century-old debts.
“It’s usually a small amount, and in essence, it’s been
a 50-year, interest-free loan,” said James Bahler, finan
cial investigator for the Rock County Social Services De
partment.
Poles vote
on program
for reforms
WARSAW, Poland (AP) —Mil
lions of Poles streamed to flag-be
decked polling stations around
the country Sunday to vote in a
referendum on radical economic
reforms, including steep price in
creases and more democracy.
The referendum was the first
in Poland in 41 years, but opposi
tion activists denounced it as a
charade and many people
skipped casting their ballots.
Large numbers of Poles, how
ever, clearly were intrigued by
the chance to voice their views
and expressed hope that the vote
would improve life in Poland.
The government news agency
PAP said turnout appeared
higher than in Poland’s last elec
tions in 1985, when officials re
ported a participation rate of
nearly 80 percent.
Polish television said that as of
2 p.m., 40 percent of voters had
cast ballots, about the same pace
as in the 1985 parliamentary vote.
Results were not expected to be
available until today.
The referendum seeks to de
termine whether Poland’s 26.8
million eligible voters approve of
the economic reform program
and favor democratization of po
litical life.
If voters approve the referen
dum’s economic reform question,
prices will rise an average 40 per
cent next year, with much higher
increases for basic foods, heat
and rent. If it fails, price increases
will be less extreme.
A strong “yes” vote for the po
litical reform question would
strengthen progressive elements
within the Communist govern
ment who argue for greater de
mocracy and openness.

Psychiatrists recognize winter blahs as depressive ailment
BOSTON (AP) — Common win
tertime blahs can turn into a serious
clinical depression that the Ameri
can Psychiatric Association now offi
cially recognizes as an ailment and
says will afflict some 450,000 people
this season.
With the shortest day of the year
approaching in December, it is the
peak season for the depression
known as seasonal affective disorder
syndrome, or SADS, with symptoms
such as excessive eating, increased
sleeping and weight gain.
“We’re looking at more than just a
passing of the blues,” said Dr. Mar
tin B. Keller, director of outpatient
research in psychiatry at Massachu
setts General Hospital. “In the fall I
get lots of calls from people who feel
this depression coming on.”
Keller served on a 12-member
panel that studied a series of disor
ders for the psychiatric association
and recommended establishing a
clinical outline for SADS.
The condition is treatable but not
with what might seem the logical
remedy: a plane ticket to the Baha
mas. “That’s a very appealing thing
to do but I don’t think it’s necessarily
good medical practice,” Keller said.
