explosion took place," the soldier was quoted as saying.
Two formerly unknown groups claimed responsibility yesterday for the attack and thus added to the confusion over who was behind the blast.
Immediately after the explosion, responsibility for it was claimed by an extremist group linked by U.S. officials to the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
U. S. Marine officials also blamed the group for hand gunnade attack that injured five Marines in Iraq.

of the blood could have been deceptive in the photograph, Reals agreed that it could
John Mitcher, the defense attorney, asked Reals why bridges had failed to do any important tests or examinations during the autopsy.
Reals, who said he had performed from 12,000 to 15,000 autopsies since 1946, said Bridges had failed to make a careful examination of the brain to pinpoint where the bleeding had started.
Bridges also failed to do microscopic examinations of the brain and of other organs, Reals said.
HE SAID THAT IF Bridgens had performed those examinations, he would have known whether any disease or infection had been in Pratt's body at the time of his death.
Bridge also might have discovered evidence that would have indicated whether the child had been exposed to a substance.
He also said that Bridges should have cut open the wounds on the child's scalp and examined them to help determine how old the wounds were.
"Unfortunately, he didn't do that." Reals said. Reals also said he had seen brain hemorrhaging in children who had fallen from beds and during normal play.
"A common fall can cause sub-dural hem- atoma," he said.
Bridgems also failed to look for any weakness in blood vessels in the brain that could have caused the death.
District Court Judge Mike Malone told the jury that he believed that he hoped testimony would be finished today.
CHAVEZ ALSO TESTIFED yesterday about what he said happened on the night of Dec. 8.
He said White had put Pratt to bed three times before she left for work at about 11 p.m.
Pratt had appeared normal that day and evening and was fussy, as he usually was, before the attack.
Chavee said he fell asleep on the couch after White left for work. He estimated that at about 1 o'clock
Chavez said that he assumed Pratt fell off the couch later that night. Chavez said that when the boy tried to get back on the couch, he must have swung out at the child, knocking him down.
When he went into the bedroom he found Pratt crying and struggling to get up from the floor, Chavez said. He then took Pratt to sleep with him on the couch.
"I ASSUME I pushed him," he said. "That's the first thing I remember. I thought that it was Sabrinia trying to wake me up. I don't really remember him falling of the couch."
Chavez said he got out of bed when Pratt started to crv.
He said that Pratt met yet his pants. When Chavez was in the bedroom getting Pratt a change of clothes, Pratt vomited, Chavez said. Chavez said he then gave Pratt a bath.
Chavez said he then gave Pratt a bottle. When asked by Stancille why he hadn't called an ambulance when Pratt vomited, Chavez said he didn't think Pratt was in any danger.
The boy appeared to be normal during the bath, Chavez said. After the bath, he took the boy back to the couch with him.
"If I'd thought he was in danger, then I would have called an ambulance," he said.
When he awoke shortly before 6 a.m., the child's lips were blue, he said.
HE ATTEMPTED TO revive the boy by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and by putting him in a pit.
Chavez said he then called the boy's mother, rather than an ambulance, because he thought White might have been able to tell him what to do.
"I knew her number, and I didn't now the ambulance's number," he said.
imbruce's number, he said.
Chavez told Stanciffe that he had not originally told the police about striking out at the boy because he was scared.
"They accused me of all kinds of things," he said. "One minute, they yelled at me, and the man had a scream."

unaware of the art around them. But when they are shown different types of art, it increases their interest."
Marion Fischer, Bavaria, West Germany, graduate student, said, "It's a nice way to show that art is not just painting or going to museums. It shows that all art forms are somehow related."
Fischer played the guitar and sang German folk songs from Bavaria and Northern Germany in the festival.
Kathryn Bergman and Laura Brown, St. Louis freshmen, spent the morning painting colorful designs on people with body paint.
Bergman said, "The arts festival is important because art is important. If you don't have art, you don't have creativity." Administrators are encouraged to do it.
Tommy Mooree also takes the testimonial.
James Moeseer, dean of the School of Fine
Arts, said, "It's a wonderful idea and a
tremendous opportunity for the students.
He said that some student work was exhibited in the Art and Design building, but that it was important to let students show their works in as many places as possible.
Jerry Moore, office and team dean of the School of Fine Arts, said, "Any student wants to be a teacher."

Shari Rogge, chairman of the festival, said she was pleased that such a wide variety of artists had agreed to perform or show their art work.
Senate board submits five new finance bills
By United Press International
TOPEKA — In a flurry of activity, a Senate panel yesterday introduced five tax bills aimed at reviving the state's alling treasury and creating a long overdue highway financing program.
The 1983 Legislature is set to reconvene today for a four day, wrap-up session. Lawmakers have said they must come up with at least $70 million to fund a transition to a highway plan, during the brief session.
Included in the collection of tax proposals introduced by the Senate Ways and Means Committee was a revised severance tax bill to be proposed, which flawed bill sitting on Gov. John Carlin's desk.
SENATE PRESIDENT Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, introduced a three-pronged highway financing program that included a 4-cent-per-gallon increase in the state gasoline tax. Senate Republican leaders previously had discussed a 3-cent increase.
Senate Minority Leader Jack Steineger, D-Kansas City, unveiled a bill he said could replace Carlin's recommendation to allow businesses to deduct only 85 percent of their federal depreciation expense from their state corporate income taxes.
Steinenger's bill will increase by 1 percent the current 2%, percent surcharge levied on corporate taxes.
Steinger also introduced a bill that would raise $2.7 million by increasing to 1¾ percent the current 2½ percent surcharge on banks' net income exceeding $35,000.
would expire after two years and would raise $16 million, he said.
And Sen, R on Hein, R Topeka, introduced a proposal that would raise the state sales tax by 1 percent. The bill would refund $50 a year for taxed sales paid on food by certain low-income households. A 1-cent increase in the current tax rate would increase sales tax would generate about $160 million.
THE SENATE COMMITTEE voted to introduce all the bills for consideration.
Besides the gas tax increase, Doyen's $103 million highway plan calls for the transferring of $50 million from the state freeway fund to the state highway fund. It also calls for the transfer of funding of the Kansas Highway Patrol from the highway fund to the general fund.
During Carlin's first four-year term, the Legislature failed to approve any highway financing programs because of sharp differences over how the money should be raised. He also gas tax increase, but said he would consider it as part of an overall compromise plan.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Talkington, R-Iola, said the revised severance tax bill would reduce the number of employees tomorrow because of technical problems. Doyne said the bill still would raise about $104 million.

decision had finally been made, he regretted that the process "took so long to end."
Walker said he could not see how another election could be conducted fairly because of the parties' differences.
"People are really disgusted with all that is going on." He said, "that will hurt the fellowmen."
He said he did not know whether he would run in the new election.
"I would not be able to put my full effort into it," he said. "I don't want to go through AURH air."
Dowdy, who has continued as president of AUHU during the controversy, said the month's attacks were a "scandal."
Rowe, Emporia sophomore, said that although he did not agree with the decision, he would abide by it.
"It has put us about a month and a half behind schedule," he said. "The new winners, who ever they are, have one of two choices. They can sit
"I HAVE NO QUALS with there being another election," he said. "I do not like them having found us in violation of rules that are so ambiguous."
around and complain that they are so far behind or they can sit down and get to work."
DOWDY SAID THE new officers would be busy during finals, and that because of the delay, the association's executive board would not be selected until next year.
Jeffie, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said he was pleased with the hearing board's decision
"It shows that people are still able to receive justice at the University," he said.
Jeffrey said that during the hearing, Rowe and he continually complained about the extended term.
Walker, however, maintained the coalition's innocence, and said that Jeffley had "sour grapes" about the issue.
BOTH JEFFLEY AND WALKer agreed that the ordeal had hurt the organization.
"AURH is in a very bad position right now. There is a lot of business that needs to be taken care of. It's hurt the organization badly," Jeffley said.
Ballard said the new election would be limited to the candidates who ran in the March 7 and 8 contests.
Sheila Wiley, St. Louis junior, who was elected AURH secretary, and Amy Waddle, Osawatomy jieun, who was elected AURH treasurer, will not be affected by the new election.
