World Tuesday • March 18, Gunmen charge tolls as thousands flee chaotic Albania by se TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Gunmen ruled much of southern Albania on Monday, de manding hefty fees from those wanting to flee the country and robbing a bank as police watched helplessly. Hundreds of Albanians clogged the ports, trying to join nearly 7,000 others who already have reached Italy Many of the boats heading across the choppy waters of the Adriatic were danger ously overcrowded. In the most dramatic sea rescue, the Italian coast guard pulled 900 panicked Albanians from a leaky gunboat sinking off Brindisi, Italy. In another, a U.S. helicopter lit the darkness as U.S. Marines and Navy seamen dove into the black waters to save 55 Albanians whose boat had capsized at twilight. The Americans also picked up 30 other Albanians in a foundering ship. All were put aboard the USS Nassau until officials decide what to do. About 60 Albanians have been hospitalized in Brindisi and Lecce to the nordi, most suf fering from exposure during the sea journey In the Adriatic port of Durres, hundreds of people crowded a beach in hopes of#®- passage west. Gunmen charged $25(1 enormous sum for residents of 1 poorest nation — for a place on as that would carry passengers toal docked in the harbor. ■ **0 AMO TAVCE TT ■ DEFENSIVE DRIVING ...
