Explosion blamed for movie deaths
WASHINGTON — The accident that killed actor Vic Morrow and two children during the filming of the "twilight Zone" probably was caused by a special effect explosion set too close to the helicopter that struck them, a federal安全 board said yesterday.
The helicopter, carrying a camera crew filming a battle scene in a mock Vietnamese village, plowed into Morrow and the two child actors, Myca Dinh Le, 7, and Renee Shinn Chen, 6. All three were killed instantly by the helicopter's main rotor blades.

Vessev savs troops better prepared
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said yesterday that the armed forces were readier for combat than they were three years ago. But the chairman, Gen. John Vessey, avoided giving credit to the Reagan administration for the improved preparedness.
Vessy made his remarks at a news conference to rebut published charges that fewer Army and Air Force units were certified ready for combat now than they were in 1980 despite Reagan's $1.7 trillion military buildup program.
"Some of this funding that brought on these equipment improvements came before this administration came in power, and the equipment came on during those years," he said.
A Cabbage Kid laid to rest in Texas
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Fifty owners of small businesses closed their stores at noon yesterday and dressed in their funeral finery for the protest burial of "Baby Rudy," one of the original hand-stitched Cabbage Patch Dolls.
Labiolo, Eileen Williams, owner of the Second-Hand Rose Antique Store, said she arranged the funeral to protest a decision by a manufacturer not to distribute the dolls through small businesses any more. About 30 other Cabbage Kids were seated as mourners wearing black armbands.
Williams said, "The dolls became famous as Cabbage Kids and it was the small dealers, just as I am, who made him (Xavier Roberts, an originator of the dolls) known in the first place. Now that he's 'made it' so to speak. Little people don't need the little people any more."

Compromise offered on prayer issue
By United Press International
WASHINGTON - Senate backers of organized school prayer yesterday compromised by proposing a constitutional amendment that permits silent or audible prayer and lets religious groups use government buildings.
The compromise, designed to satisfy enough senators to win the two-thirds vote necessary for passage, fused several proposals. The campaign under now under development by the Senate may be recited aloud in public school classrooms.
Both proposals say the government shall not force anyone to participate or dictate what the prayer will be.
Opponents say prayer would not be voluntary because children would have to listen to someone else's prayer or suffer peer pressure if they left the room.
ROOM:
SENATE REPUBLICAN leader Howard Baker said that he hoped to vote today on the compromise but Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., said that he would block action.
"I'm not prepared to agree to that kind of quick deliberation on an amendment to the Constitution of the United States," Weicker said.
The compromise is aimed at winning the votes of those who support observing a moment of silence in classrooms and those who say that religious groups should be able to meet in school buildings.
Temperms flared earlier in the day when Wecker accused Baker of trying to ram the school prayer proposal through the Senate. When Wecker said that debate should continue until June 1, the Senate leader began a head count to see if he had the 60 votes necessary to end the debate.
"I would like to know why the man hasn'T hasthese." Weicker complains.
BAKER, OF TENNESSEE, said that he had not planned to try to cut off

The high-pressure school prayer campaign is accelerating, with ministers conducting prayer vigils on the Capitol steps and a well-financed effort directing thousands of letters and calls into Senate offices.
"I'm the one who's a little nervous about what you have up your sleeve."
"I'm not trying to blind-side the senator," Baker said.
From Monday afternoon until yesterday morning, conservative congressmen took turns supporting school prayer in a 20-hour marathon of students being pressed House leaders into bringing the issue to the floor for a vote.
"That is the nature of fundamentalists — to think their way is the only way to be bitter, reactive people," the Rev Berties Bergstrom of the Lutheran Church in Baltimore.
A GROUP OF ministers from many faiths, including Presbyterian, Episcopalians, Jews and Quakers, held a news conference to deplore claims by fundamentalist backers of school prayer that opponents are immoral.
Bergstrom said that several senators, especially Southerners, privately had expressed fears that opposing the bill would end their re-election hopes.

He criticized President Reagan for politicizing the prayer issue in numer- uous speeches demanding passage of the proposal, which would become the 27th amendment to the Constitution if elected by Congress and approved by 38 states.
"We are not threatening them with burning in hell if they don't vote our way." Bergstrom said. "We are accused of being too nice."
"HIS THEOLOGY IS corrupt.",
Bergstrom said of Reagan, "I would hope that his concern would be more for and for controlling nuclear arms.
Reagan went to Ohio yesterday to proclaim America's spiritual rebirth to evangelical Christians. But Democrats questioned his rhetorical fervor, saying that it was not reflected in his church-going habits.
As the Senate debated a proposed constitutional amendment to permit organized prayer in public schools, Reagan told the National Association of Religious Organizations that he was seeing "a rebirth of freedom and faith — a great national renewal."
"America has begun a spiritual awakening. Faith and hope are being restored. Americans are turning back to God. told the group's convention meeting."

He visited a black church in Washington to participate in the television taping of a Christmas gospel show.
THE LAST CHURCH service he attended was held especially for him at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea, where it troops there in November.
Unlike his predecessor Jimmy Carter, who went to church weekly and taught Sunday School, Reagan seldom attended the chapel except for highly ceremonial occasions.
Reagan also attended a service commemorating the 20th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy in November, and went to Washington Cathedral in September for a memorial service for the victims of the Soviet attack on a Korean Air Lines jet.
