PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti,

May 11.—American citizens in

remote parts of Haiti will use

bed sheets spread on the ground

to attract evacuation helicopters

in event the political crisis here

I explodes into mass violence, it

was learned today.

l Americans still scattered over

this mountainous island nation,

..and the'.r precise location, is

being sent to the United States

carrier Boxer lying offshore in

the Bay of Gonave. If an

emergency threatens the safety

of American civilians here, the

Boxer’s fleet of helicopters is

ready to airlift them to safety

from their own yards.
