Irving couple plan New York flight amid Zurich pressure
Clifford Irving and Edith Sommer Irving said they would fly from Ibiza to New York despite Swiss police urging them to appear in Zurich. Authorities said the couple might be prevented from leaving Spain, while Mrs Irving voiced willingness to go to Zurich later. Irving faces a libel suit over his book Fakes and claimed authentic interviews with Howard Hughes. Three checks for $650,000 were deposited and later withdrawn by a woman posing as H R Hughes. A Swiss passport stamp suggests Barcelona consulate origin.
