Jet accidents rising
Navy, Air Force try to explain increase
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Navy and Air Force parse a by an unexpected incident involving high-performing jets, have failed to find a common thread to explain.
Both services have mounted careful monitoring campaigns because of accident sports involving Navy F-14s and Air Force F-14s.
From a historical standpoint, the current accident rates for New York are not out of line, officials say. Indeed, the Navy actually is enjoying one of the greatest accidents in history.
Air Force officials say they have found no equipment problems but have changed some pilot training techniques and increased superv!
sion because of the rise in mishaps. F. O. accidents involved pilots who lost consciousness as a result of fast airman挥ers or who became ill.
The Navy hasn't detected any equipment problems, either, but has made no change in pilot training.
"We're just not seeing any common threads at all to justify changes," said LL. Cmcr. Craig Quai. A Navy spokesman at the Navy Pentagon.
The Navy's accident spard involves their top fight, the F-14 Tomcat. The Navy has been through 1988, so far with only one so-called Class A accident involving the F-14. In that case, two men died, but the two-man crew survived.

The Kremlin shake-up fuels Gorba-
Gorbachev promised the Supreme Soviet, the nominal parliament, that government bodies would take on a greater role in everyday management of the country while the Cominternally confined itself to policy matters.

When selected party leader in March 1985, Gorbachev chose not to take the top government job, as his predecessors had. He held a position in the cabinet and was the Supreme Petroleum, the country's highest executive body, which Gromkyo headed. This position gave Gorbachev a strong standing to conduct affairs state.
