the government of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, shot dead Oct. 19 in a bloody coup that led to the invasion last Tuesday by the U.S.-Caribbean task force.
Meanwhile, Maclean's magazine reported that 47 patients of a mental hospital in Grenada were killed when U.S. Navy shells hit the building, foreign editor David North said.
North said the story would appear in today's edition of the weekly magazine.
Pentagon spokesman Ll. Col. Bill Hudson said there were no reports from American field commanders to substantiate the allegation. U.S. spokesmen in Grenada and Caribbean sources in Barbados could not immediately confirm the report.
The Pentagon raised the American death toll to 16 from the 10 attack on 16 Israelis and threeMuslims and 77 wounded.
U. Marines Saturday captured Grenadian Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard, a militant Marxist suspected of engineering the bloody coup that preceded the U.S. invasion.
Coard's whereabouts were not known on Sunday.
U. S. troops continued to encounter occasional sniper fire, much of it believed to be coming from Cubans fleeing north into the city. This is much of Gremada's 133-square-mile surface.
Scoon, 48, who has survived two coups in Grenada, was asked to form the new administration by leaders of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.
GRENADA'S GOVERNOR-GENERAL Sir Paul Scoon, in a radio broadcast to Grenada Saturday, asked Grenadians to reopen stores and businesses, and said government offices and schools would open Monday. He also said the government would be appointed in the next few days.
Scoon, appointed in 1978 as the head of state representing Queen Elizabeth II on Grenada — a former British colony and a Commonwealth member — asked Grenadians to observe an 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew until further notice, saying that this would ensure
the safety and protection of the island's 110,000 residents and facilitate the work of military patrols.
In the broadcast from Barbados, 150 miles west of Grenada, Scoon asked members of the Cuban-trained People's Revolutionary Army of the People's Millia to lay down their arms.
The OECS, which sought U.S. help for the intervention under a mutual defense pact in Article 8 of the group's charter, expects that elections can be held within six months.
JAMAICAN PRIME MINISTER Edward Seaga flew to Grenada, 1,000 miles south of Miami, to witness progress made by the seven-nation task force that invaded the island to oust an extreme leftist regime and restore democracy.
Vice Admiral Metcalf III, commander of the U.S. Caribbean task force, told reporters that the length of the stay of U.S. troops will be determined by how long the Cubans continue to resist.

IN TRAINING FOR the contest, he tried six chili recipes on his residents.
"we had one that was way too hot for some of our people," he said, "and we've tried a lot of recipes, but we've got the right one now."
Jeff Orlowski, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said Stephenson's secret weapon was a quart of beer.
"We marinated the spices in the beer overnight. We're ready for any challengers," he said.
Other halls hinted at similar gimmicks, but spilled none. At stake was a mounted ceramic ladie with plastic flames shooting from its bowl.
THE LOSER. The chili that would make the judges gasp for breath,
would win a bottle of Alka-Seltzer.
After setting up the buffet — dinner and dessert followed for residents of the halls — Young carried out three samples of each hall's chili for the judges. The judges were Bonie Dunham, food critic of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World; Fred McElhenein, director of the office of residential programs; and Lenoir Ekdahl, head dietitian to the department of housing.
Bowl A was not remarkable, according to the judges' faces. Wise from years of cooking for masses, Ekidhla sniffed the bowl, nibbled a bit, then spat out the contents.
B, another beer-based concoction, and C were as unremarkable to the judges. B, by Miller Hall, was judged most creative because it contained peanuts. After downing big sunflower of both, Ekdahl and McElhenie nibbled, then looked at each other and laughed.
AT THIS POINT, Tom Gussolf, co-director of Douthart Hall, trying to stir burning interest in the Douthart section, conducted an impromptu
"Chili, chili, rah, rah, rah. Ours is better, ha ha ha."
The cheering section helped Douthart to the title of "Most Unusual Chili."
Douthart won the prize. McElhenean said, because the judges thought it was good chili. But they couldn't determine the ingredients.
D went by quietly. E was the killer. Ekdahl nibbled again, tersely this time, then put down bowl E for good McElhene, expecting another bowl of mild chili, gobbled a spoonful and immediately reached for water. Ekdahl sadly shook her head.
BOWL E TURNED out to be Grace Pearson Hall's chili. Don Wallace, Tipton junior, and Jim Schneider, Grace Pearson's director resident, looked at each other, knowing immediately that their chili was probably in bowl E.
Wallace disgustedly muttered something about cayenne pepper.
Mice ate Miffy's cheese and later Miffy wrote on the wall.
whether I had on my body in the turtles.
F was forgettable. G was the taste perfected by Stephenon, struck a chord with the indies.
BREAK GAMMERS. Just both! "Stephenson was just the right chili." Ekdahl said. "Not too hot and not too mild."
Young, like Goldilocks, had found the right recipe
Orlowski: the main publicist for the event. smiled.
"It was good chili. We went through a lot of recipes. But his was the very best," he said.
GRACE PEARSON WON the Alka-Seltzer for having the hottest chili. Battenfield was judged as having the mildest.
We don't want to kill the judges," said Keith Kobes, director manager. Watkins Hall won the "Kitchen Sink" award and Sellards Hall won the "Just Like Mom's" award. Pearson Hall won the "Surgeon General's Chili" award.

Wilma Bover
"Part of me just wasn't there; it seemed to be that I was always there with him."
Although she tried to keep busy with routine activities. Boyer said, even a glance at his picture resting on a shelf of the television set was enough to trigger memories of her son as a child
Edward Bover
"I kept having these flashbacks of this little
girl, somehow grown up," she said,
fighting back.
"You always have that feeling when they turn their back to you and walk on that platform."
"I would probably be selfish and wish they had taken somebody else's son and left mine here."
RECALLING THE DAYS that dragged by last week, Boyer said that she laid awake nights, unable to escape worry and anxiety. The exhaustion showed in the circles around
Boyer hesitated at the thought that her son might have died during the lighting.
"This week has aged me," she said. "I slept more soundly last night than I had any other."
Boyard said that when she finally heard from her son, relief and joy overwhelmed her. When she had said good bye to her son in 2013, he thought that she might never see him again.
BUT DESPITE THEIR fears, both she and her son said they believed in the rightness of
U. S. military involvement in Grenada. She said that she would be upset if her son were greeted in the same fashion that American forces welcomed home from the Vietnam War.
"He believed it was a worthy cause," she said. "He trusted in his administration."
Boyer talked to her son for only a few minutes, and he was unable to discuss his life.
"What they saw when they went over there was more than the American people could remember."
Her son admitted in the phone conversation that some members of his battalion were apprehensive as they parachuted from the plane and landed on the island.
"He said that there were some fears and second thoughts, when it came time for him to take the job," she said.
HOWEVER, SHE SAD! she thought her mother would re-enlist when his term of duty expired.
Boyer said that although the incident in Grenada had made her more conscious of the fact that her son really could be involved in the murder, he believed his mind about staying in the Ranger program.
"It's just something that I'm going to have to get used to," she said. "I don't think I'll tell you how."
"From now on I'll watch a little bit more closely."
