01 109 919 lad March 27, 1984 'The Binghamton, Evening N. Press Y. OBITUARIES BE takes Sekou Toure, Guinea chief try to independence in 1958, died on an operating table after a flight for emergency surgery on his deteriorated aorta. He was 62. Sekou Toure was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic early yesterday on a special plane arranged by King Fahd of Saudi Arabia after a team of four physicians from the clinic examined him in Guinea on Saturday, clinic spokesman Frank Weaver said today.

By JOY TOPPIN The Associated Press CLEVELAND President Ahmed Sekou Toure of Guinea, a black African Marxist who led his coun- U.S. heart clinic, which dies in has treated many other surgery heads of state, was required because the African leader's health was failing, Weaver said. The decision was made after consultation with physicians for King Hassan II of Morocco. When Toure arrived at the hospital, massive internal bleeding was discovered from an aneurysm in the aorta, the main blood vessel from the heart, Weaver said. Doctors had to replace the aorta from the heart to the abdomen in an operation that began at 10 a.m.

yesterday. "He was in serious condition when he arrived, and the decision was made immediately to operate." Weaver said. After the aorta was replaced, internal bleeding continued. "For more than hours, the physicians tried to save his life, but the cardiac action foiled. The president literally suffered cardiac arrest and he was not able to be revived." the spokesman said.

Sekou Toure was pronounced dead at 3:23 p.m. yesterday, Weaver said. In Guinea, Prime Minister Lansana Beavogui announced the death of Sekou Toure over Radio Conakry today, and the ruling Guinean Democratic Party met in emergency session. Born in Farandah in central Guinea, Sekou Toure was one of seven children of a poor, illiterate Moslem couple. Sekou Toure was a founding member in 1946 of the African Democratic Rally, an umbrella group of West African parties seeking independence from France.

He was widely admired by militant Africans for his often stormy anti-colonial posturing, but critics were shocked by his ruthless communist-style dictatorship. His years in power were marked by economic paralysis and bloody purges in reprisal for countless plots against his rule. Sekou Toure came to power in 1 1958 when President Charles de Gaulle offered France's colonies in Africa a choice between partial autonomy in a French community or full independence. When a referendum was held, Guinea cast the lone vote for immediate independence. Toure said: "We prefer poverty in liberty to riches in slavery." The angry French reacted by abruptly halting all aid to the West African territory, pulling out thousands of colonial administrators.

French aid and technicians were recalled so quickly that Guinea's economy and essential public services virtually stopped functioning. Guinea turned to the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the United States and China for help. Although the country was for a time ciosely aligned with the Soviets, Toure met with President Reagan in 1982 and said he found a "great disposition toward cooperation" with the United States. Sekou Toure was to host the Organization of African Unity summit in his capital in May. He was due to become OAU chairman for the next year.

Ahmed Sekou Toure Official says 508 Brazilians died in slum area fire SANTOS, Brazil (AP) At least 508 people, most of them children, were killed in a gasoline pipeline fire last month in a Brazilian shantytown, according to authorities who conducted an investigation. Marcos Ribeiro de Freitas, chief prosecutor in this city on the southeast Atlantic coast, called the exact death toll "incalculable" but listed 508 as a "probable figure" as he discussed the investigation yesterday. The number of dead from the Feb. 25 fire initially was put at 86. Eighty-six bodies were discovered on the periphery of the slum after the fire, but none in the middie of it, where a government investigation indicated temperatures were the highest.

The newly reported casualties, which went undiscovered for a month, were mostly babies under 3 years old and nursery school children aged 3 to 6, the prosecutor said. The fire incinerated a shantytown built near a government pipeline in the oil-refining town of Cubatao. Petrobras, the state oil company, admitted "human error" caused the gasoline leak that ignited and burst into a fireball that reached a temperature of 1,600 degrees. Dr. Carlos Alfonso Figueiredo, the Santos morgue director, said the temperature at the heart of the Cubatao fire "was equal to that of a De Freitas, working from a study made by the Santos morgue, said there were no bodies found of children under 3 and concluded that at least 300 such infants "were totally incinerated." He based the figure on the number of shacks destroyed, combined with estimates of the makeup of families in the zone.

The prosecutor said at least 122 children aged 3 to 6 who attended a 305-capacity Cubatao nursery school also perished in the blaze. Gen. Kiessling retires, honorably but bitterly NEUSTADT, West Germany (AP) Gen. Guenter Kiessling has retired from the West German military with full honors but said he harbors some bitterness about unsubstantiated charges leveled against him that he was a homosexual. U.S.

Gen. Bernard W. Rogers, the NATO commander, and West German Defense Minister Manfred Woerner, who dismissed Kiessling on unproven charges last December and reinstated him in February, were among some 3,000 people attending the ceremony yesterday at an army post here. "I have a feeling of satisfaction about the reinstatement but it would be wrong to say I don't retain a feeling of bitterness," Kiessling told reporters before the ceremony. Notices Deborah G.

Money donated in nationwide drive will be presented when President and Mrs. Reagan visit China in April Capitol security likely to slow '84 tourist flow By ROBERT LEWIS Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON Visitors to Washington this spring should bring lots of patience to cope with the expected long lines at such favorite tourist attractions as the U.S. Capitol and the White House. The reason: Stringent new security measures in the wake of the Nov.

7 bombing of the Capitol are subjecting virtually everyone to purse and briefcase searches and metal-detection surveillance. So far the system has caused only sporadic backups at entrances designated for visitor use. The tourist season unofficially begins with the Cherry Blossom Festival in early April, and congressional officials are bracing for long queues this spring and summer. "When three buses disgorge 180 senior citizens on the steps of the Rayburn House Office Building in the height of the tourist season there's no doubt about it, it will take time to clear them through," said one official. The tighter security measures are going into effect gradually and may be eased if senators and representatives get complaints from irate constituents.

As it now stands, security at the fouracre Capitol complex is the tightest since World War II, when Army troops guarded the entrances and machine guns were mounted on the roofs of the Senate and House office buildings. On a visit to a congressional office or hearing, tourists now must enter designated entrances that have metal detectors similar to devices used to screen airline passengers. If a detector's alarm sounds, metal objects, including jewelry, must be removed. Even in cases where visitors obviously are not a security threat, guards do not have authority to let them enter without successfully clearing the metal detector, said Donald Massey, the Senate's deputy sergeant at arms.

Tuesday evening. Expressions of sympathy in her memory may be made to the Union Volunteer Emergency Squad, P.O. Box 121, Endwell, N.Y. 13760. A second detector is available at each visitor entrance and will be used when the tourist season begins, Massey said.

"We are concerned about those mobs; we are familiar with them," he said. "But at no time will we say, 'The line is too long; go on through. Visitors also must be cleared to enter the spectator galleries above the Senate and House floors. To gain access to the galleries, tourists must either obtain a pass from a lawmaker's office or be part of a guided tour group. Visitors will be allowed to go anywhere in the three House and three Senate buildings where lawmakers have their offices.

But parts of the Capitol are permanently off-limits to tourists. Those with appointments to see a congressman in restricted areas of the Capitol must first get a badge and identification card from police, who will issue the credentials only on instructions from a congressman. Driveways on the Capitol grounds are closed to the general public, and trucks making deliveries are searched. Barricades have been erected to prevent the possibility of a truck bombing. Similar security steps have been placed in effect at the White House, which now is ringed by concrete barricades.

Official visitors, as well as tourists, must pass through metal detectors. Even high government officials must submit to security screening. A Cabinet member will be excused from the search, but all others are not, according to current Senate policy. The Capitol has a long history of violence, beginning in 1814 when British troops set fire to the building. In World War I a German national planted a bomb i in the Senate reception room, causing extensive damage.

After a bombing in 1971 during the Vietnam War, Congress doubled the size of the Capitol police force to its current 1,222 officers and installed $4 million worth of surveillance equip- There's Got To Be A Better For Sale: Litter of Registered Afghans There use Classified for all your buying and selling needs Call 798-1141 Alma R.
