The team never left Saigon because of haggling in the
military commission and its subcommisst
on captured
persons, which Wrinch said was sparked by "impossible
demands" by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong.
The departure Of the Red Cross team was the first
concrete sign that the Canadians plan to make good on
their oft-stated pledge to leave the International Com-
mission of Control and Supervision should its superviso-
ry truce-observer mission prove futile.
"It became absolutely senseless for the 12 of us to sit
around doing nothing so we're going home," said
Wrinch.

MIAMI — One of two
men who escaped from the

was still at large today aft-
er taking two hostages and
fleeing in a stolen bread
truck.
The sheriff's department
said Eddie Lee Turner,
thought to be in his early
30's, escaped at approxi-
mately 7:30 a.m. after he
and another prisoner, Mar-
vin Tasso, in his mid-20's,
overpowered two guards
during a prisoner ex-
change.
Both men were to face
trial on Monday, Turner
on a charge of robbery in
Commerce, and Tasso on
an unknown charge.
Tasso reportedly took
part in the break, but later
changed his mind and re-
turned to the jail.
Sheriff's deputies said
the two men overpowered
jailer E.K. Scott and a
Michigan officer, in Miami
to pick up a prisoner want-
ed in that state, when they
opened a cell door.

Fines — those penalties
folks pay for breaking the
law — are a multi-million-
dollar business in Oklaho-
ma County.
From police court to fed-
eral court, fines add al-
most $4 million a year for
support of government.
In state court, fines total
over $1 million and pay for
such things as jurors, pub-
lic defenders, bailiffs for
the courts and still put
about $200,000 into the
state judicial fund. Pay
and mileage for jurors
alone costs about $20,000 a
year in Oklahoma County,
Court Clerk Dan Gray
said.
Various branches of mu-
nicipal court are adding an
estimated $2,540,000 to the
city general budget in the
fiscal year that ends June
- 30. Last year, the - figure
was $2,237,792.
Traffic court, with
$1,467,606, adds the most to
city coffers. Fines in mu-
nicipal criminal court add
$215,663; the court of rec-
ord another $211,147 and
parking fines another
$117,940.

officer, said none of the they still captive, and

E g y p t's Middle East
News Agency said the
Black September comman-
dos asked the Sudanese
government to supply a
plane and send along a
senior official as a "guar-
antee for our safety."
There were no immediate
indications where they
wanted to go.
The Sudanese govern-
ment ordered the guerril-
las to hand over the cap-
tive Arab diplomats and
the bodies of the envoys
slain Friday night.
They were Cleo A. Noel
Jr., the new U.S. ambassa-
dor to Sudan, and the
outgoing U.S. charge d’af-
faires, G. Curtis Moore.
The Sudanese government
said the guerrillas claimed
they also killed the Belgi-
an charge d'affaires, Guy
Eid.
The bodies and the two
Arab hostages were still in
the Saudi Arabian Embas-
sy, where the seven Pales-
tinian terrorists have been
holding out since bursting
into a farewell reception
Thursday night for Moore.
U.S. Embassy spokes-
men said President Nix-
on's special trouble shoot-
ing envoy, Undersecretary
of State William Macom-
ber, was standing by in
Asmara. Ethiopia, waiting
for a sandstorm to clear
so he could land in Khar-
toum. The storm still

side capital this afternoon,
but there were forecasts
the angry cloud would soon
lift.
Sudanese authorities be-
gan evacuating a four-
block area around the Sau-
di Embassy. Soldiers said
they were preparing for "a
military operation" to re-
cover the bodies and free
the captive diplomats.
But U.S. Embassy in-
formants said the clearing
operation was only a pre-
caution "in case the guer-
rilas decide to blow them-
selves up and everybody
with them."

SAIC1OX (AP) — A Canadian Red Cross team which The Polish and Canadian Red Cross societies were
arrived three weeks ago to examine American and Viet- chosen and the 12-member Canadian team arrived in
namese prison camps left in disgust today, blaming the Saigon Feb. 9 with Wrinch expressing hope they would

"This in my view is a complete denial of the cease-
fire agreements." said Ret. Maj. Gen. Arthur E. Wrinch,
national commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross. "As
far as I'm concerned, it's a definite denial by the North
Vietnamese and the Provisional Revolutionary Govern-
ment and it's a setback."
Under the cease-fire agreement signed in Paris Jan.
27, the four-party Joint Military Commission was to
44
c agree within 15 days on two or more national Red Cross
£ societies "to visit all places where captured military
iJ personnel and foreign civilians are held ... to contribute
to improving the living conditions."

Wounded Knee today as said kidnapping is one of
hopes for a quick peace
with Sioux Indians who
took over the village five
days ago dwindled in an
outbreak of sporadic gun-
fire.
Ralph Erickson, a spe-
cial assistant U.S. attorney
general, said late Friday,
"FBI agents and marshals
are being exposed to gun-
fire ... Fire seems to be
continuing and it causes us
concern."
Erickson specified three
instances of lawmen being
fired on. He said federal
agents did not return the
gunfire. No injuries were
reported by either side.
Newsmen who filtered
past federal roadblocks in
the pine-studded hills over-
looking Wounded Knee re-
ported several outbreaks
of gunfire, but the origin of
the shooting was not deter-
mined.
Erickson also said that
talkk on Friday with lead-
ers of the American Indian
Movement, which led the
takeover, were unproduc-
tive.
"It is not very promis-
. ing," Erickson said.
The 200 Indians in the
village, most of them Og-
lala Sioux, entered Wound-
ed Knee late Tuesday,
raided a trading post and
held 11 persons hostage
until midday Thursday.
Erickson said he is not
satisfied that the hostages
now are free, as AIM lead-
ers declare.
He also said it was diffi-
cult to learn during the
talks what the Indians
want in exchange for lay-
ing down their weapons
and surrendering. He
