The World : Delvalle Flown to Miami
Ousted Panamanian President Eric A. Delvalle slipped out of his hiding place in Panama City and flew in a U.S. Air Force jet to Miami for what a spokesman called a brief personal visit. Juan B. Sosa, ambassador to the United States under Delvalle, denied that Delvalle was fleeing Panama. The U.S. government still recognizes Delvalle as president despite his overthrow last February by the Panamanian strongman, Gen. Manuel A. Noriega, whom Washington tried in vain to oust. Delvalle has been in hiding in Panama with the help of the United States since Feb. 26.
