Civil rights leader
undergoes surgery
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) -
Doctors have operated again on
qivil rights activist Vernon E.
Jordan Jr., this time to repair
an abdominal incision from
surgery nearly two weeks ago
after Jordan was shot in a Fort
Wayne motel parking lot.
Jordan was in serious but
Stable condition today at Park-
View Memorial Hospital,
doctors said.
Dr. Jeffrey Towles said that
die 44-year-old National Urban
League president was operated
on Sunday night because of a
breakdown in an abdominal
incision made in earlier
surgery.
Meanwhile, the attorney for
Martha Coleman says his client
has stayed in seclusion since
Jdrdan’s shooting to avoid
becoming a “national figure,”
but she probably will have to
"dome forward soon to tell her
side of the story herself.
“It seems obvious to me that
it’s going to be necessary that
shfe do something with regard to
the media add the public,”
attorney Charles F. Leonard
said Saturday. “I suppose she’s
going to have to come forward.
Hopefully, it will be over then.”
Mrs. Coleman, 36, was with
Jordan when he was shot out-
side Ms room at the Marriott
Hotel early May 29. The two
met that evening at the local
Urban League’s annual dinner
and, after having drinks, went
to Mrs. Coleman’s home for
coffee, police said. When Mrs.
Coleman brought Jordan back
to his hotel, he was shot.
Jordan was a speaker at the
dinner, and Mrs. Coleman is a
local Urban League worker.
I^eonard told reporters that
Mrs. Coleman, who voluntarily
took a polygraph test ad-
ministered by an FBI agent
Friday, “passed with ab-
solutely no question whatever.
She now has been absolutely
eliminated as having any in-
volvement whatever.”
The FBI has requested that
Mrs. Coleman undergo hyp-
nosis, “to help recall events
that (her) conscious mind is not
able to bring out,” and she
“probably will” agree to it,
although no time has been sent,
the lawyer said.
Leonard said he believed
sending Mrs. Coleman into
seclusion after the shooting — a
course of action he said also
was suggested by local police —
was the right thing to do.
“She’s concerned, as I have
been concerned, for her well-
being," Leonard said, adding
that some “strange mail” had
arrived at Mrs. Coleman’s
home, and several crank
telephone calls have been
recorded on her answering
machine.
The telephone tapes have
been turned over to authorities
for further investigation, he
said, noting, "To the best of my
knowledge, there has been no
threats.”

THIS GIFT
COULD MEAN
MORE THAN
YOU THINK!
PARIS (AP) - Former U.S.
Attorney General Ramsey
Clark urged the United States to
apologize for past actions in
Iran and said he is not bothered
by criticism or possible
prosecution for traveling to
Iran in defiance of a
presidential ban.
“I love my country too much
not to confess” alleged
American crimes in Iran, Clark
said Sunday in a television
interview. “We owe the Iranian
people a lot. We owe them an
apology. We have supported the
(deposed)* shah and he has
brutalized them and he has
caused the deaths of many of
them.”
Clark recommended the
United States “let things cool
off” instead of pushing
economic sanctions aimed at
pressuring Iran into releasing
the 53 American hostages, now
in their 219th day of captivity.
He predicted sanctions would
drive Iran closer to the Soviet
Union.
□ark arrived in Paris Sunday
from Tehran where he and nine
other Americans attended a
“Crimes of America” con-
ference last week. All 10 face
possible 10-year prison terms
‘ and fines of $50,000 each for
violating President Carter’s
ban on travel to Iran.
Asked about the possible
prosecution, Gark said, “The
fine doesn’t bother me, I don’t
have it, and I hope a jail term
wouldn’t bother me either.
“My defense will be that
America is founded on
freedoms,” Clark told in-
terviewers on the ABC-News
program “Issues and An-
swers.”
Asked how he felt about being
called a “traitor” in the United
States, Clark said he was just
trying “to make my country
just."
Republican Sen. John Tower
said in a television interview
Sunday that Clark’s trip to
Tehran was “seditious” and fell
into the same category as an
earlier trip by Gark to Hanoi
during the Vietnam war.
But Secretary of State Ed-
mund Muskie told television
interviewers he would be
willing to meet with the 10
Americans "if any of them
think they have useful in-
formation to impart.”
Clark acknowledged that the
presence of the Americans at
the anti-American conference
in Tehran did not produce any
concrete moves toward the
immediate release of the
hostages.
“I wasn’t expecting any
miracles,” he said. “We went
there believing it was im-
possible to do anything im-
mediately on the hostages.”
However, another member of
the delegation said the
Americans went to Tehran
“seeking a quick solution to a
crisis that threatens world
peace.”
John Tudor Walsh, the
Baptist chaplain at Princeton
University, spoke at a news
conference alter be arrived in
New York along with Kay
Camp, president of the
Women’s International League
for Peace and Freedom.
Three other delegates flew to
Boston and said
acknowledgment by U.S. of-
ficials of past intervention in
Iranian affairs is a necessary
step toward the release of the
hostages.
The three were Mary An-
derson, an economics lecturer
at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and a
representive of the American
Society of Friends; George
Wald, Harvard professor
emeritus and winner of the 1967
Nobel Prize in physiology and
the Rev. Charles Kimball, a
minister studying at Harvard.
Three other members of the
delegation returned to New
York Friday, and the 10th
American, John Gerassi of New
York, remained in London after
becoming ill. Gark, who was
President Lyndon Johnson’s
attorney general from 1967-69,
said he planned to stay in Paris
for “a couple of days” before
returning to the United States.
In Iran, meanwhile, Tehran
Radio broadcast a Foreign
Ministry denial of a report in a
Pakistani newspaper that the
three Americans held at the
ministry would be released in
the next few days.
The newspaper Jang, in a
dispatch from Tehran, said the
release of Charge d’Affaires
Bruce Laingen, embassy
security chief Michael Howland
and political affairs officer
Victor Tomseth would be in-
dependent of an overall set-
tlement of the hostage issue.
The three were visiting the
ministry when the U.S. Em-
bassy was seized Nov. 4 and
have been under virtual house
arrest since then.
Sadr Nabavi, a member of
Iran’s new Parliament, told a
Western reporter in Tehran the
hostage issue could come up for
parliamentary debate within
the-next two weeks. Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran’s
revolutionary leader, has or-
dered the Parliament to decide
the hostages’ fate. But its
provisional chairman, Yadollah
Sahabi, said two weeks ago the
debate may not begin for two
months.

THESE POT HOLES/"
Tax truce called
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — The feuding City
Council and the Corpus Christi
Taxpayers Association have
decided to call a truce.
Both groups announced
Sunday night they have
unanimously decided to end a
battle over a tax-reducing
proposition that voters passed
in April.
Under a nine-point resolution
approved by both groups, the
council will drop its May 22
lawsuit pending against the
taxpayers’ group and the
taxpayers will end a drive to
recall council members.
Councilman Jack Best also
said he would drop a $17 million
libel and slander suit against
Suspect slain after spree
RANKIN, Texas (AP) - A
man wanted in the shotgun
slaying of his mother-in-law in
her downtown Odessa office
intended "to kill the rest of his
family because his wife had left
him,” says a witness whose car
was stolen during a bloody
statewide crime spree.
Mark Edward Powell, 27, of
Big Spring, was shot and killed
late Saturday after deputies
and state game wardens forced
his car off the road, about one
mile east of Rankin on U.S.
Highway 67, an Upton County
sheriff’s spokesman said.
Kevin Worthington, 23, said
Powell stole his car near the
West Texas community of
Iraan. In an interview with The
San Angelo Standard-Times,
Worthington said he stopped
after Powell pulled up behind
him on a desolate highway to
ask for a road map.
"When I looked up he had a
12-gauge pointed in my face,”
Worthington said. “He said,
‘Get out or you’re dead,’ so I
did.”
Worthington said he was
locked in the trunk of a car
Powell was driving with two
teenage girls that the gunman
allegedly took hostage in
Odessa.
“He (Powell) said he had
killed his mother-in-law and
shot at his father-in-law and he
was off to kill the rest of his
family because his wife had left
him,” Worthington said. “But
he said he wouldn’t hurt us.”
The trio later freed them-
selves by kicking out the back
seat of the car, Worthington
said.
Before Powell was shot, he
went on a shooting spree
through several West Texas
towns and wounded four per-
sons, one of them seriously, said
Sgt. Glenn Willeford of the
sheriff’s department.
Powell was named in a
murder warrant in connection
with the slaying Friday of
Loyce Chapman, 46, at her
office at the Odessa Chamber of
Commerce.
A man returned to the office
with a shotgun after engaging in
an argument with the victim,
witnesses told police. Mrs.
Chapman was struck in the
neck and chest by two shotgun
blasts fired at close range,
police said.
The day Mrs. Chapman was
shot, Powell took three teenage
girls hostage and went to
Houston, where he “tried to kill
his ex-father-in-law,” Willeford
said.
On the way back to Odessa,
Powell released two of the girls,
keeping a 16-year-old hostage,
he said.
the association.
Association leader Tom Hunt
Sr. said the group already had
collected between 12,000 and
15,000 signatures on recall
petitions.
At the press conference,
Mayor Luther Jones and Hunt
each read half the resolution.
It called for council members
to consider discounts for early
payment of taxes and creation
of industrial districts as
alternatives to higher property
taxation.
The council also agreed to
pass a formal resolution to
respect the 68-cent tax rate
approved by voters, and to
study reducing the rate below
that.
The dispute began April 5,
when the tax-reducing
Proposition 14 was passed by
voters. The proposition lowered
the tax rate to 68 cents and
imposed a 6 percent annual
limitation on hikes in assessed
value.
The council had objected to
the proposition on grounds it
might conflict with a state law
that calls for taxing fair market
value.
The taxpayers’ group was
formed after new property
valuations increased by 50
percent in some cases.
A hearing had been scheduled
on the city suit later this-month
in Austin.
