polling stations that forced the cancellation of independently run general elections last November, leaving at least 34 people dead. Paul had been a powerful force in the army, which has run this impoverished Caribbean nation for most of its 144 years. The barracks of his former command are adjacent to the presidential palace. In March, Paul was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami on charges of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States. The soldiers who ousted Namphy said they wanted to name him army chief but decided not to because of the drug charges.

Haitian and diplomatic sources later said Paul's retirement could help lead to the renewal of a $70 million annual aid package the United States cut off after the November 1987 election massacre. The drug trafficking indictment alleges Paul conspired to import 220 pounds of cocaine into the United States in December 1986. It says the traffickers used a landing strip on Paul's farm 90 miles outside Port-au-Prince, the capital, to load and fly the shipment to the Bahamas. Fritz Pierre-Louis, a former lieutenant in the Haitian army who later defected, told Sens. Alfonse D'Amato, and Bob Graham, D-Fla.

in a special U.S. Senate hearing that 70 percent of Paul's troops were involved in drug trafficking. Namphy led a military junta that assumed power when Jean-Claude Duvalier fled into exile in France. An attempt to dismiss Paul in June failed and led to the fall of the civilian government of' Leslie F. Manigat, who had won military-run presidential elections in January.

Namphy had tried to reassign Paul to an administrative but Paul refused and was backed by Manigat. Namphy ousted Manigat on June 20, accusing him of meddling in army affairs, and Paul remained head of his battalion. Paul did not intervene when soldiers overthrew Namphy in September. The soldiers who formed Haiti's new government have said they want to end random, state-sponsored violence and institute democratic reforms, but the government has set no dates for elections. Associated Press writer PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti One of Haiti's most powerful men, a colonel indicted on U.S.

drug charges who until recently led the country's most feared army unit, has died under suspicious circumstances, a family friend says. CoL Jean-Claude Paul, who was forcibly retired Sept. 30 as commander of the Dessalines Battalion, died about 3 p.m. Sunday of a heart attack in his home in suburban Fermathe, Radio Haiti-Inter said. He was 49.

The independent station gave no other details, but a family friend said there was speculation the 29-year army veteran was poisoned. Paul's maid and gardener were detained by police for questioning, said the family friend, who would not be identified further. In addition, the colonel's former wife, Mireille Delinois, was taken to the Petionville police station for protection because of fear of reprisals by Paul's relatives, the friend said. The military government's spokesman, Frantz Lubin, said he had no information on Paul's death. U.S.

Embassy spokesman Susan Clude also said she had nothing. Paul was stripped of his command after a Sept. 17 revolt by noncommissioned officers ousted Haiti's military leader, Lt. Gen. Henri Namphy.

The coup leaders, who said they were outraged by state-sponsored murder under Namphy, replaced him with Lt. Gen. Prosper Avril and ousted about 60 of the army's most repressive commanders. Paul at first appeared allied with Avril, but the new leader reportedly became concerned Paul might turn against him. Last month, Avril said he planned to close the barracks of the 700-man Dessalines Battalion, the most brutal unit in Haiti's army.

The unit has been linked to the Tonton Macoutes, the hated private army of the 29-year Duvalier family dictatorship, and some of its members have been blamed for widespread violence that has thwarted moves toward democratization promised after a popular uprising drove Jean-Claude Duvalier into exile in February 1986. The violence included attacks on Mrs. Shockley Mrs. Shockley was formerly employed at Werts Novelty Muncie, for eight years. Surviving are her husband, Michael R.

Newhouse, a low-profile newspaperman who helped establish the world's largest family-owned communications empire, died of a heart attack. Newhouse died Sunday in his home. The family's holdings, now run by his nephews, include 26 U.S.

newspapers, Conde Nast magazines, major book publishers and cable TV systems. Like his brothers, the late Samuel I. and Theodore Newhouse, he shunned the limelight and was little known outside the newspaper business. "We never went in for titles," he said in a 1985 interview. "We are, basically, anonymous people.

If I were to walk into a room in New Orleans with the 100 most prominent people in town, there may be two who would know me personally. Most would probably know the name and the connection, but they wouldn't know me personally or recognize me by my face because my public position is non-existent."

By PATRICK CRUEZ Associated Press writer COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Troops backed by helicopters and armored cars stormed a prison and killed 12 inmates today in crushing a rebellion by 1,500 convicts, authorities said. About 25 prisoners were injured in the assault by troops who threw tear gas and opened fire as two helicopters hovered over the medium-security Welikade Prison in suburban Colombo, police said. Soldiers stood guard and smoke still could be seen more than two hours after the uprising was quashed at the prison, which generally houses inmates awaiting trial on criminal, rather than political or civil charges. Among the injured was a former navy sailor convicted of attempted murder for clubbing Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi of India with a rifle butt two years ago, police said.

Half the prison population of 3,000 broke out of their cells Sunday and staged a sit-in to demand better food, the resignation of President Junius R. Jayewar-dene and the dissolution of Parlia ment, officials said. The inmates took one guard hostage but released him early today, police said, speaking on condition of anonymity. They then set fire to furniture in four buildings behind the 20-foot walls around the prison complex and cut telephone lines, the police said. Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said the prison rebellion apparently was inspired by strikes and demonstrations being organized around the country by a radical Sinhalese group, the People's Liberation Front.

The front has accused Jayewar-dene, a Sinhalese, of making too many concessions to minority Tamils seeking autonomy. In southern Sri Lanka, at least 153 prisoners tunneled out of a military detention camp Sunday, but 78 of them were recaptured, the government. Almost all the escapees from the Pelawatte camp had been detained on suspicion of belonging to the People's Liberation Front, blamed by authorities for more than 500 killings in the past 15 months.
