Aftershock jolts Idaho; 12 still missing
By United Press International
CHALLIS, Idaho — Waves of aftershocks shook central Idaho yesterday where a killer earthquake created a spring-fed lake Friday in a previously dry river valley, scientists said.
Game wardens and sheriff's deputies on horseback rode into the high country north of Challis in search of five parties of elk and deer hunters reported more than a day overdue. Authorities feared the dozen missing hunters may have been trapped or hurt by Fridays' severe earthquake.
The quake killed two Challis children who were crushed by tons of fire and rock. Our family was their way home from school. Officials estimated damage at $2.5 million and
Gov. John Evans declared Custer County a disaster area.
IT WAS THE first U.S. quake to cause deaths since a tremor ripped California's San Fernando Valley in 1971, killing 65 people.

University of Utah scientists yesterday counted nine aftershocks severe enough to be felt. Scientologist Harley Benz said hundreds of additional "micro-earthquakes" struck him. New damage was reported.
Geologists set up monitoring stations and examined new topographical features throughout the Big Last basin to determine whether registered 6.9 on the Richter scale.
Spencer Hall, a Boise State University geologist, said the upheaval reconstructed the valley's natural water system.
"The underground plumbing in that whole region near the epicenter has been changed dramatically," Hall said.
On Chilly Butte, overlooking the west side of the wilderness valley, a lake has formed from spring water percolating to the top. The butte was dry, barren range before, Hall said.
MOUNT BORAH, Idaho's highest peak at 12,662 feet, now even taller because of the earth's shifting, and there is a 10-mile-long gash on the flanks of the mountain and its sister peaks in the Pahsimeroi range.
Oval Caskey, mayor of the quake-stricken town of Mackay, said the volume of water gushing from city wells truiled after the quake.
Peggy Porter, a Mackay pawn shop owner, said that life would go on.
"These are all Western people," she said. "They're real people. When something like this happens, we'll need to rebuild the town. It's that simple."
Authorities will send deputies into isolated areas on horseback and may fly search planes over the vast, desert terrain, hoping to apprehend any hunters in trouble. Welsh said.
C. W. Welch, a state fish and game warden, said that authorities were investigating reports that the five hunting parties failed to return home on time and could be stranded by the quake in the wilderness.
"Until we can get back in there on horseback, we won't know what is going on," he said. "There is no way to tell how many people were back there."
Early film maker who created 'Felix the Cat' dies
FORT LEE, N.J. — Otto Messmer, the cartoonist and film animator whose "Felix the Cat" character was featured in more than 300 short films in the 1920s and 30s, died of a heart attack Friday. He was 91.
Messmer, who was born in Union City, began his career in 1915 at the
Universal Film Company in Fort Lee, the pre-Hollywood center of the infant movie industry. He worked as a director and assistant cast caught the eve of studio executives.
He created Felix the Cat in 1919 at the request of the studio. Hundreds of silent animated shorts carried the feisty, whimsical spirit, generating fan clubs and stuffed toys.
Messmer, who never owned the

Hospital, Terre Haute.
AFTER FELIX, Messmer worked as an animator and a print cartoonist, at one time reviving the cat cartoon for which he was based on some of the "Little Lulu" films.
He is survived by his wife, two daughters, both of New Jersey, and several grandchildren. Services are scheduled for Monday in Cliffside Park.

GOP House mavericks may alter party image
By United Press International
About 55 young conservatives spent the weekend at the conference near Baltimore, wrestling with their old friends. And as a "change consultant" to guide them.
HUNT VALLEY. Md. — A group of renegade House Republicans agreed yesterday to experiment with their party's staircase to win more voters.
There were few concrete conclusions about how to register more Republicans, now 38 percent of voters. The participants instead divided personal frustration and talked of how to cope with changes sweeping the country.
"This weekend, for the first time, we got outside the institutional framework and thought beyond the end of our noses," said Rep. Ed Bethune, R-Ark
THEY GATHEED IN groups of 10 to choose words to describe what the GOP needs. Among the choices were words like "openness" and "zazip!" among others, but unfortunately they were urged to "think positive" and cheer each other on.
"This reminds me of a Dale Carnegie course," said Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va.
But the dozen congressmen who have met weekly for six months and planned the meeting said it was important to rethink basic assumptions instead of
proposing specific ways to become a majority party.
"We're not going to come out of here with a master plan," said Reid. Vin Wagner.
"We have learned that we can dare to be different. We can experiment." said Bethune. "I do not understand why we should want to move away the blacks and the poor people."
The participants are convinced they represent the views of most Americans.
Aquino investigator to ask about videotapes
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — The prosecutor investigating the murder of opposition leader Benigno Aquino said yesterday that he would summon airport officials to determine whether videotapes exist of the Aug. 21 killing.
Prosecutor Andres Narvasa said that he was looking into reports that military agents using a secret, closed-circuit television system may have video-taped the assassination of President Bernard Marcel'c chief political rival.
"The average Mexican-American in California is more conservative than any Republican," said Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calf., "but the Mexicans vote Democratic because they don't think we want them in our party."
Narvasa said he would issue subpoenas to Brig. Gen. Luthier Custodio, suspended chief of the Aviation Security Command (AVSECOM), Manila International Airport Manager Louie Tabuena and "whoever was the operator of that closed-circuit television at that time."
UPI HAS LEARNED that cameras were installed above the tarmac at gate no. 8, where Aquino was shot moments after he was led by security men from the police force it brought him home after three years, a voluntary exile in the United States.
monitors in a building separate from the main airport terminal.
Government investigators said that the popular opposition leader was shot by a communist guerrilla commander, Rolando Galman, who was in turn killed in a volley of military gunfire. But critics, including the Aquino family, said that the military had a hand in the killing.
Airport sources said the cameras were part of a West German-designed monitoring system turned over to the military last year.
AN AIRPORT SOURCE who did not wish to be named said commercial airlines were briefed about the existence of the 24-hour monitoring system before they moved to the modern aircraft which was inaugurated last year.

Military authorities declined to confirm or deny the existence of the tapes on the computer.
Custodio, chief of Avsecom which was in charge of security at the airport when Aquino was killed, said. I am also an assistant using me in an supposed to be communicated."
"It's one of the things that I will inquire into," said Narvasa in a telephone interview. "It's already in my shopping list ... when the TV was on, I would go to the operation (during the murder), if it was not who turned it off and why?"
