HONOLULU (AP) — Ferdinand E.
Marcos, forme, president of the Phil-
ippines, died today, ending in defiant
exile a life that took him to the pinna-
cles of power and worldwidcnotoricty
in his impoverished land. He was 72.
He died at 12:40 a.m. of cardiac
arrest, said Eugene Tiwanak, spokes-
man at St. Francis Medical Center,
where Marcos had been hospitalized
for months with kidney, lung and heart
ailments, and pneumonia and bacterial
infections.
Marcos’ successor, President Cora-
zon Aquino, said May 19 she would
not permit Marcos to be buried on
Philippine soil, despite appeals from
Marcos’ wife, Imelda.
Mrs. Marcos said in April she would
embalm her husband’s body and
display it in Hawaii until she could
return and scatter his ashes to “fcrtil- secretly underwent kulncy transplants

The canny, combative politician,
who governed at times as a democrat,
at times as a dictator, was driven from
the presidency in 1986, after which he
settled into exile in Honolulu at a hill-
side estate overlooking the Pacific.
Marcos died without facing trial on
U.S. criminal charges stemming from
his alleged plundering of the Philip-
pine treasury during his two decades in
power.
He had been hospitalized three
times beginning in early December. At
the request of his family, Marcos was
kept alive on life support systems and
doctors were instructed to take every
measure to save his life.
His doctors had called it a “mira-
cle” that he survived so long. He
Hawaiian exile, he had cataract
surgery and sought treatment for what
he called “war wounds” that caused
pain in his legs and chest.
Marcos had never given up hope of
reluming to his homeland.
At his 71st birthday party, Marcos
told thousands of supporters: “I am no
scoundrel.... I will go back, I intend to
go back, at any price, without
violence.”
A federal grand jury in New York
indicted Marcos, his wife and eight
others on criminal racketeering
charges in October. In April, the judge
in the case separated Marcos from the
other defendants, saying he was too ill
to stand trial.
In an interview with The Associated
Press in November, Marcos denied the
allegations that he and Imelda had
drained the Philippines of billions of
dollars, and said he did not expect to
live through a trial.
Marcos was elected president of his
Asian homeland in 1966 and ruled
longer than any other Philippine presi-
dent. But in his second four-year term
he declared martial law, under which
thousands of opposition politicians,
students and other critics were jailed.
Finally, in 1986, he was toppled by
a popular uprising and fled in disgrace.
He left behind a nation of 62 million
people deep in debt and facing dual
uprisings of communist and Moslem-
secessionist guerrillas.
Once in Hawaii, Marcos claimed he
had been tricked by U.S. authorities
into leaving his homeland, but Mrs.
Aquino forbade his return.

Center.
Homer reportedly ran from behind a
trash dumpster and into the path of a
car about 8 a.m. today near the Head
Start School.

15-20 mph when it hit the boy. The
street is posted as a 30 mph zone.
No citations were issued in the

to police.
Mistrial
declared
By the Herald Staff
A mistrial was declared Wednesday
in a Creek County District Court drug
trial when jurors could not reach a
unanimous decision.
Larry C. (Bucky) Hoover was
charged with unlawful possession of
controlled drug with intent to distri-
bute, unlawful possession of parapher-
nalia and unlawful use of a police
radio.
The jury reached an 11-1 deadlock
for conviction and announced to the
court Wednesday that they could not
make a unanimous verdict.
According to reports, police search-
ed Hoover’s residence near Sapulpa
May 10, 1988, and found a form of
amphetamine known as crank in the
garage. The substance was not
methamphetamine.
Officials also said that after Hoov-
er's arrest, he told police that if there
was any drug in the residence it would
be in a briefcase in the garage.
However, Hoover maintained that
he had not used the briefcase and any
items in it did not belong to him.
A new trial has not been set in the
case.

KELLYVILLE — Creek County
students found out Wednesday that
they have a lot in common with Soviet
youth.
See photo on Page 2
High school students in Kellyville
were treated Wednesday to a visit
from a 16-year-old Moscow student.
Victoria Avrosova spoke to students
of Melanie Brinton’s German classes
about the differences and similarities
between the two countries and its
people.
"The people here are so polite and
friendly," Victoria said. “I was
surprised by that. I thought all the U.S.
would be like New York City, so busy
and people all around not very polite.”
Victoria said she didn’t expect to
see small towns, like Kellyville, scat-
tered throughout the nation.
“It was a nice surprise,” she said.
Victoria and her mother have spent
the last couple of months touring the
United Slates. She said during this
visit, they have seen about 14 states
and many tourist attractions such as
the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone
National Park.
“We have had lots of good times
here,” she said.
Brinton said most of the students
spent the day asking Victoria about
cafeteria food, music, clothes and
other teen-age topics of interest.
She said one class asked her about
nuclear arms and religion. Kellyville
students were shocked that many
Soviets are atheists. They wanted to
know what Victoria thought happens
to people when they die but she never
answered the question.
While some questions were serious,
most were on a lighter side and some-
times funny.
Although Victoria speaks English
very well, she said she has had some
problems understanding local slang.
One student asked her where
Moscow teens “hang out” and she did
not know what that meant.
She also told the Kellyville students
that, like almost everywhere in die
world, Moscow teens do not like
cafeteria food.
Victoria also said she wanted
people in the United Slates to know
that Soviets are not the “enemy."
“People are just the same," she said.
She also credited the recent open-
ness of her country to Gorbachev.
“Young people like him,” she said.
“Some of the older ones don’t. The
more conservative ones.”
Victoria said the Soviet leader's
“progressive” programs are the reason
she was allowed to visit the United
States and have the opportunity to talk
one-on-one with American students.
She also said she believes American
students should study foreign
language in school.
“U.S. students should learn other
languages,” she said. “Maybe not
Russian, but they should study some
foreign language.”
She said all Russian students study
another language, and many learn
English.
Robbery was
response to
missing items
By the Herald Staff
Testimony will continue today in a
robbery case in Creek County District
Court that the defense attorney said
Wednesday should be heard on the
People’s Court.
Anna May Sevall of Sapulpa is
charged with robbery by force and
fear, knowingly concealing stolen
property, unlawful possession of
controlled drug, unlawful possession
of paraphernalia and feloniously
carrying a firearm.
Creek County District Attorney
Lantz McClain told jurors Wednesday
that Sevall went to her former Sapulpa
residence on June 21, 1988, where
Dena Moore and her children were
living.
Sevall said she went to the residence
to retrieve items she left there when
she moved out. When she could not
find the items, she began taking things
from the residence belonging to
Moore and said she would keep them
until her property was returned,
McClain said during opening
statements.
Police later discovered Moore’s
property in Sevall’s vehicle parked at a
local pawn shop. Officers also found a
gun in the vehicle that belonged to the
McAlester Police Department,
methamphetamine, valium and drug

Fort Sill accident kills 3, injures 23
FORT SILL (AP) — An errant artil-
lery round strayed nearly a half-mile
off target, killing three soldiers and
injuring 23 others who were lined up
to leave their basic training site, an
Army spokesman said.
“If you had to write a worst-case
scenario where soldiers are injured or
killed by artillery rounds out of the
impact area, this is it,” said Lt. Col.
John Dobbs. “The round landed at a
time when the soldiers were in a
formation and were in close
proximity.”
If the artillery fired from a practice
range had hit 10 to 15 minutes later
Wednesday, there might have been no
injuries because the rifle range would
have been empty, Dobbs said.
Master Sgt. Michael Brown, a post
spokesman, said Pvt 1. Jimmy N.
McCain, 21, of Troy, Ala., and Spec.
Thomas P. Boyle, 25, of Ventura,
Calif., were killed. The name of the
third soldier killed in the accident was
being withheld pending notification of
relatives.
Officials said an artillery round
from a howitzer overshot the target
area by about one-half mile and hit 10
to 15 feet behind the soldiers, who
were preparing to march to another
training site.
Remnants of military uniforms and
helmets littered the ground on the rifle
range in the shadow of the Wichita
Mountains in southwest Oklahoma.
An area around the site was roped off
and military police kept reporters from
talking with troops at the scene. A
crater a yard across and a foot deep
was visible.
Dobbs said he was sure the soldiers
who weren’t injured were in a slate of
shock.
"When 23 are instantly —just in an
instant — injured, and three are killed,
those who weren’t are going to be in a
slate of shock,” he said.
’ ‘The error could have been made in
more than one way,” Dobbs said. The
howitzer could have been aimed incor-
rectly or the wrong amount of
gunpowder could have been used.
Three of the most seriously injured
soldiers underwent surgery Wednes-
day night, said Jon Long, a post
spokesman.
Staff Sgt. Scottie Harris of Rock
mart. Ga , and Pvt. David Saltsman of
Dayton. Texas, were in critical condi-
tion early today, and Pvts. David
Adams of Vinemont, Ala., Troy
Emmons of Hubbard, Neb., Charles
McCrocsen of Mason, Ohio, and
David Mechem of Wichita, Kan., were
in serious condition, said post spokes-
man Daran Neal.
A total of 22 soldiers remained
hospitalized today. Sixteen of those
hospitalized were in good condition.
The soldiers were assigned to A
Battery, 2nd Battalion, 80ih Field
Artillery and were a week away from
completing an eight-week training
course, said Staff Sgt. Robert Biel
said.
Dobbs said the unit had completed a
tactical training course and was in
formation and preparing to leave when
the round hit about 5 p.m.
Post investigators piecing together
the details of the accident were to be
joined today by a team from the Army
Safety Center in Fort Rucker, Ala. A
preliminary report may not be ready
for a day or two.
Sheila Samples, a post spokeswo-
man, said the Fort Sill investigators
would determine the blame and why
the accident happened while the Fort
Rucker unit will determine the cause
of the accident.
Among the questions investigators
are trying to answer are how many
shells hit the rifle range, what type of
howitzer was used and why the artil-
lery missed its mark.
The post, which is the Army’s Field
Artillery Center, has three sizes of
howitzers.
"We have to analyze the craters and
interview all the units on the range,”
Long said.
He said the accident site was about
four miles from the populated area of
the post, which has 21,000 soldiers.
