WASHINGTON, D.C. Vitaly Yurchenko,
the Soviet spymaster who slipped 'from the
ClA's grasp after three months in America,
was cleared to return to Russia yesterday after
assuring U.S. authorities he was not being
forced by, the Soviet Union to go home.
Yurchenko, clenching his hands over his
head like a victorious boxer, left the State
Department after a half-hour meeting and
declared, "Yes, home!" when asked if he was
heading back to the Soviet Union.
State Department spokesman Charles Red
man said it appeared that Yurchenko's action
"was a personal decision."
With four Soviet diplomats on one side and
'six State Department officials, including a
doctor, on the other, Yurchenko had his first
face-to-face meeting with U.S. authorities fince
he walked away from their custody overthe

Yesterday's torrential flooding
forced residents of five states scram
bling onto their rooftops and into
trees, as water inundated houses and
businesses in Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland, North Carolina and Penn
sylvania. •
Hundreds of roads were sub
merged, some covered by up to 12
feet of water and others by
mudslides, and homes were washed
away before the storm system, which
had stalled over the Carolinas, crept
slowly to sea.
"I've never in my life been as
scared," said Veronica RObey, who
was trapped with her 18-year-old

"With theh rate of . the river, • they

West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore,
who mobilized the National Guard
and appealed 'to President Reagan to
designate 22 counties as disaster
areas, said the flooding "covered
more territory and affected more
people" than any in the state's histo

"It's certainly, in terms • of the

weekend, after three months in the United
States.
Yurchenko had appeared at an extraordi
nary•hews conference at the Soviet Embassy
Monday, charging he had been abducted in
Rome, drugged and pumped for secretsin CIA
hideaways. The State Department denied the
charges, saying Yurchenko had voluntarily
defected.
As a result of Ks meeting yesterday, "the
United States government has decided that Mr.
Yurchenko's decision to return to the Soviet
Union was made of his own free will, and that
he is now free to leave the United States,"
Redman said.
"In arranging this meeting we wanted to
satisfy ourselves that Mr. Yurchenko truly did
wish to return to the USSR and that he made
this decison 'freely and of his own volition,"
Redman said.
He said the meeting was held in an atmo
sphere free of the possibility of Soviet coercion
were in effect in 33 of the state's 55
counties.
Virginia Gov. Charles S. Robb de
claied a state of emergency in west
ern and central parts of his state.
"People in the hundreds had to be
evacuated by helicopter and with
heavy-duty vehicles," said Michael
Cline, deputy operations director at
the Virginia Department of Emer
gency Services.
Flood waters along the upper
reaches of the Potomac River caused
the
,collapse of a temporary bridge
connecting Maryland and Paw Paw
and some the town's 700 residents
fled, the weather service said. About
100 residents of Old Town, Md., also
were evacuated as the river reached

subject to U.S. detention or returned to Sovjet
custody either if he din't vont to he.
The doctor determined there was no observ 7
able . evidence Yurchenko had Leen drugged,
"which could affect his behavior, or that• he
was not competent to make his own decison to
return to the USSR," Redman added. lie said
the doctor made no direct physical examina
tion of Yurchenko but was 'Complelely satis
fied." •
The U.S. delegation at the meeting ‘vas led by
William M, Woessner, acting chief of the Bu,
reau of European and Canadian Affairs, Victor
F. Isakov, the thifd ranking diplomat at the
Soviet embassy, led the other side.

explosion
kills two
MONT BELVIEU, Texas (AP) A
series of explosions and fires rocked
an underground storage tank at a
refinery yesterday:, killing two work
ers, shooting jets of flames high into
the air and forcing , hundreds to flee
their homes.
• "We ran as fast as we could," said
Dean Conley, an electrician working
at the Warren Petroleum Co. refinery
and natural gas storage plant. "We
didn't stop to turn in our , badges."
It took about 20(ifirefighters nearly
six hours to control the blaze, which
was fed by three pipelines that could
not be shut off because the intense
heat kept crews away from valves,
said Cul Ingram, a spokesman - for
Chevron Inc., which owns the com
plex. •
One of the pipelines ruptured while
construction crews were doing main
tenance work, Ingram said. "I don't
know how."

Illegal alien wins $2 million
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) An illegal alien from Mexico who won
$2 million in the 'California Lottery will be able to collect his
winnings, but he'll have to leave the country or risk deportation,
officials said yesterday.

country illegally• before he spun the wheel for the top prize on
Monday in Los Angeles.
"They said it was no problem," he said in Spanish after returning
to San Jose, where he lives with relatives who are American
citizens. "They said, 'You paid a dollar for that ticket. You got 'a
winning number."'
Lottery Director Mark Michalko said Caballero will be awarded
full, installments of his prize —sloo,ooo a year for 20 years less
withholding for federal income tax.
"People are able to come in from any place in the world, win the
lottery and we pay them," Michalko said.

Soviet seaman had wrist slit
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) American doctors who examined a
Soviet seaman who twice had jumped ship near New Orleans found
that the young man's wrists had been slit, a State Department
official testified yesterday.
The discovery was made after seaman Miroslav Medvid had left
the ship a third time for interviews with U.S. officials who wanted
to determine whether he wanted to defect, according to William W.
Woessner, acting Assistant secretary of state for European affairs.
U.S. officials were told by the captain of the Soviet grain
freighter that Medvid had cut his wrists upon being returned to the
vessel by American immigration officials, Woessner said. The
immigration officials had determined that Medvid was not a
candidate for political asylum.
Woessner said the American doctors, who examined the 22-year
old seaman at a U.S. military facility, determined that Medvid's
condition was not life-threatening and that interviews to learn his
true intentions about possible asylum could proceed.
Asked whether there was any indication of a suicide attempt,
Woessner replied, "I don't know."

Libyans burn effigy of 'Reagan
TRIPOLI, Libya Thousands of Libyans filled Tripoli's streets
yesterday and burned an effigy of President Reagan to protest an
alleged CIA plan to undermine Col. Moammar Khadafy's regime,
diplomatic and Libyan sources said.
Diplomats estimated that up to 5,000 people joined the three-hour
march past the Belgian Embassy, which represents U.S.interests
in Libya.
Libyans of all ages clad in green, the national color, shook their
fists, waved placards praising Khadafy and chanted, "We're not
afraid of this cowboy Reagan!" according to televisiOn and witness
accounts.
No violence was reported in the march, which occurred at
midday.
Libyan officials said the march was spontaneous but foreign
observers said it appeared to be well organized,• and Libyan
authorities were seen ordering the streets cleared of cars before it
began. '
The state television said in its English-language broadcast
yesteday night that the demonstration was intended to "make
people around the whole world aware of the dangers of the
American administration ... and the plots hatched by the terrorist
Reagan administration." \ • .
The march coincided with a formal protest by the Foreign
Ministry to the United Nations about the alleged CIA plan, which
was reported Sunday in the Washington Post.
Marcos tries to ensure . stability
MANILA, Philippines (AP) President Ferdinand E. Marcos
changed his mind yesterday and announced that a vice president
also will be chosen in the election planned for Jan. 17. He said filling
the post would ensure political stability.
The last vice president, Fernando Lopez, lost his job in 1972 when
Marcos abolished the office and began eight years of martial-law
rule.
Marcos did not say who his running mate would be in the
presidential election, but opposition leaders said they doubted it
would be his wife Imelda. They predicted that the United States
would frown on such a move, which one called "brutally vulgar."
He had said originally that the election would be only for
president and that the vice presidency would be filled in a later
vote.
Opponents responded that the continued lack of a vice president,
and thus a specified successor, would aggravate political instabili
ty in the Philippines
Imelda Marcos is minister of human settlement and one of the
nation's most powerful political figures. She said in an interview
Tuesday that she would take an active part in the campaign.
