San Diego city firemen hose down spilled fuel at the scene of a collision between a charter bus and a San Diego trolley car yesterday. The bus reportedly ran a red light and forced the trolley to jump the tracks and crash into a clothing store. Thirteen people were reported injured, including the drivers.
Crew studies Monitor, aims to recover anchor
By United Press International
HATTERAS, N.C. — Researchers and scuba divers examined the wreck of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor yesterday and began preparations to recover the historic ship's anchor.
"I thought it was fabulous," said John Byrne, administrator of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, who went 225 feet down in a four-man, 22-foot submarine. "The water is sitting on top of the sand, covered with marine life. There is a surrealizing amount of light down there."
"It looks like it is in similar shape to what it has been in the past. I think when you see the videotape you will be impressed, it really is remarkable."
Completing a color videotape of the sunken ship and surrounding terrain was one major goal of the expedition. Researchers took steps toward completing a second goal — raising the Monitor's anchor — after using the submarine to locate it about 150 yards off the ship's port bow.
"ITS PARTLY visible, but the rest of it is buried in about 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ feet of sediment," said Nancy Foster, director noAAA's Marine Sanctuary program.
The 1,300-pound anchor, 5 feet long and 58 inches wide at the base, would be the largest object recovered from the Monitor since the wreck was discovered 16 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras by a 1973 expedition.
RESEARCHERS SAID raising the anchor would help them decide what conservation techniques would be necessary in an attempt to raise the Monitor's gun turret, an operation planned for 1985.
Sebua divers working from the submarine began dredging sediment away from the anchor and attempted to attach it to a lift bag - a balloon-like device that will be gradually filled with air to lift the anchor to the surface.
they remained optimistic they would be able to raise the anchor today.

Divers had some problems with visibility in the water, but Byrne said
Byrne said the anchor and turret could be weakened by corrosion, making it possible for them to break apart if they are not raised carefully
The Monitor sank during a gale Dec 31, 1862, as it was being towed to take part in the Union blockade of the Confederacy.

Assassination inquiry sought
By United Press International
BANGKOK, Thailand — Rep. Stephen Solarz, D-N.Y., who ended a tour of the Philippines the day before the murder of opposition leader Benigno Aquino, called yesterday for a Warren Commission-type inquiry on possible involvement of the Marcos government in the killing.
"Any official investigation of the Aquino assassination conducted by the government of President (Ferdinand) Marcos itself will have absolutely no credibility whatsoever with the Filipino public, but matter with anyone else," Solzir said.
Aquino was murdered Sunday by what the government said was a lone civilian assassin minutes after return from a police guard's guards immediately killed the assassin.
Solarz said a Warren Commission-style inquiry similar to the investigation of the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy was the only way to clear the Marcos government of possible involvement in Aquino's death.
"I THINK IT is critically important
and absolutely essential for an impartial and independent investigation, free of government control, to be established in the Philippines as well," he said.
In the United States, protesters in san Francisco demanded an end to a "hit and run" policy.
Solarz, who heads the House Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, made the comments at the end of a visit to Thailand. Aquino had testified before Solarz's committee before his return to the Philippines from three years exile in the United States.
"We would like to express protest and anger of the callous act of the Marcos dictatorship, of which we hold politically and directly responsible for the death of former Senator Benigo Anuino. "Rocamora said.
Joel Camoraka, leader of seven groups that support change in the Philippines, blamed the government of the Philippines for Aquino's death.
SOLARZ SAID that if "strong reason" existed to think Marcos was implicated in the assassination, it would be "utterly inappropriate and"
completely counter-productive' for
an argument to visit the Philippines in November as a
He described as "premature" a White House statement Sunday that Reagan did not intend to cancel his travel plans for a two-week, five-nation Asian tour.
rocamera also said Reagan should not continue his plans to go to the Palace.
"The planned trip to the Philippines by President Reagan is as callous as the murder itself," he said. "We are asking the American people to call Congressional representatives to get Reagan to reconsider his trip to
Many of the men, women and children jumped back, startled by the sight. Others cried out, then stared in frozen silence and had to be asked to move on by blue-uniformed private security men.
SOLARZ'S AND Rocamoras' comments came the same day as as a long line of mourners formed at the house of S. Jacob, and at the slain opposition leader's body.

"Mine-countermeasures is a very personal business and today the U.S. Navy is wooley lacking in the means to carry it out," said Jane's, considered the standard reference book on the world's navies.
The 1983-84 edition, which is to be released today, called mine-countermeasures perhaps the "largest gap" in U.S. defense.
LONDON - The Soviet Union's ability to mine U.S. ports threatens a successful American defense effort in case of war, according to the latest edition of the authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships.
"In the USA there are a dozen major ports whose successful operation is essential if the country is to survive and thrive. It is necessary forward to the 80th edition of Jane's said."
THE BOOK'S editor. Capt. John Moore, suggested that U.S. lawmakers should remember the "forest of masts which littered the approaches to British ports" after German mines destroyed British ships in World War II.
Jane's said that with only three active and 18 reserve minesweepers available for service, the U.S. Navy expect to keep open just two ports.
The new edition said also that the Soviet Union was closely integrating its navy with the country's merchant and
fishing fleets, equipping many civilian vessels to take on intelligence and military tasks.
Jane's said that communist subsidizing of the Soviet merchant fleet and the world recession 'are seriously limiting time capabilities of the Western powers.
"The loss of 50 percent of British flag ships and the reduction of 600 of those under the American flag formation throughout NATO," Jane's said.
OF SOVIET mine strength, Jane's said: "With the world's largest stockpile of sea mines of all kinds there is no lack of layers in the fleet. Most surface ships have this capability, as do all submarines."

The FX-910 is a wallet sized unit with 48 scientific functions. The FX-98 is credit card size with 42 scientific functions.
Both feature an 8 digit mantissa with 2 digit exponent.
And since both units incorporate a powerful solar cell that can operate in very low light, they'll not only save you time and energy, they'll save you from ever having to buy batteries.
Both feature fractional calculations (a function not found on many comparable units). So now you can work with fractions without having to convert to decimals.
The FX-98 and FX-910 also come with a free application manual. "Strategies for Scientific Calculating," which will save you work by showing you shortcuts for using your calculator.
So if you think you could use a little student aid this semester, take advantage of our $5 rebate offer. And bring a Casio to class.
