MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. <AP)
— Rebellious prisoners at the
Indiana State Prison early
today ended an uprising and
released four hostages after
Ambassador
says captors
'spaced-out'
HOMESTEAD AIR FORCE
BASE. Fla APt — U S. Am-
bassador Diego Asencio, freed
after 63 days as a hostage iri
Colombia, called his guerrilla
captors a bunch of spaced-out
teeny-boppers” and said he
nearly dissuaded some of them
from Marxism.
An exuberant Asencio told a
State Department spokesman
lie could have converted a few
of fie leftists to capitalism if
he’d had more time with them
in the Dominican Republic
Embassy at Bogota.
They didn't have the
foggiest idea what the real
'World is like, ” spokesman
David Passage quoted the 48-
year-old diplomat as saying.
Asencio, who Was freed in
Havana on Sunday along with 11
other captive diplomats,
arrived here 20 pounds lighter
and with,a bushy gray beard.
On the 40-minute flight ’ to'
Homestead, he expressed "no
sympathy” for his Marxist
captors, but considerable
human understanding,” said
Passage.
He said he was making
great progress in converting
some of them to capitalism,”
Passage said by telephone
Sunday from the ambassador's
suite at the base.
"A number of them were
quite surprised at some of the
things he said. . . he thought with
a little more time he probably
could have converted half a
dozen or so of them.”
Die spokesman said Asencio,
the U.S. ambassador to
Colombia since 1977, was in
excellent health and his mood
was "celebratory ... like
somebody who had just won the
Fort Lauderdale Open' or
something.”
Asencio stepped off the
chartered plane into the arms of
his wife, Nancy, and daughter,
Maria. His other daughter and
three sons arrived later Sunday
for a reunion, Passage said.
The hostages, who were
accompanied on a flight from
Bogota by 15 leftist guerrillas,
were greeted in Havana by
Passage, two American doctors
and Samuel Eaton, a deputy
assistant secretary of state. The
papal nuncio, Msgr. Angelo
Acerbi, and a Vatican
negotiator flew with the
Americans to Homestead, then
left immediately, Passage said.
Passage said Asencio, who
did not speak with reporters,
would stay here two days,
resting, visiting his family and
being examined by doctors.

heavily armed state police
officers entered the prison,
Corrections Department
Commissioner Gordon
Faulkner said.
Die hostages, who were not
harmed, were the last of seven
taken by some 35 inmates
during the incident that began
about noon Sunday.
Their peaceful release ended
the tense incident about lfi
hours after it began. Faulkner
did not say how the release was
produced. He said 12 pf the
inmates were involved in
negotiations and that none of
them was believed to be armed,
Ho serious injuries of either
inmates or employees were
announced, but Ceilblock C, the
center of the uprising, was
described as "ripped apart.”
One guard was taken to a
hospital by ambulance shortly
before the release was * an-
nounced, but he was reported to
have only, a sprained ankle.
Another guard who was ill was
among three hostages released
during the "peaceful” talks
leading to the settlement.
The release came about two,
hours after heavily armed state
police had moved into the
maximum security prison.
A newsman negotiator, Bill
Warrick of WSBT-TV in South
Bend, identified the final
hostages as guards Larry

DEATHS
McGinty and food service
supervisor Robert Storey, 49.
Russ Ewing of WMAQ in
Chicago, one of three newsmen
admitted into the facility at the
request of the inmates, said the
prisoners released the captives
after prison officials agreed to
conduct negotiations with the
inmates after the hostages were
free.
The negotiation are to begin
within the “next day or two,” he
sa^.
Warrick said that some in-
mates had argued against the
settlement. “We could hear
them yelling at each other,” he
said. “It was close, I’ll tell you
that.”
In exchange for the release of
two hostages, state officials
granted a demand that
reporters witness negotiations
between inmates and state
authorities, said Deputy
Warden Robert Bronnenberg.
State Sen. John R. Larson,
chairman of the Indiana Senate
Corrections Committee, said
the takeover apparently was
related to the stabbing of one
guard Saturday night. He said
the guard, who was not iden-
tified, was stabbed and pushed
down a flight of stairs. His
condition was withheld.
Larson said the wounded
guard apparently was "one of
the guards the prisoners have a
grievance with.”
