Plane Crashes in Russia
MOSCOW (AP)—A Japan Air Lines jet taking off from Moscow's international airport crashed Tuesday night, killing most of the 78 persons aboard.
The official Soviet news agency Tass reported 16 persons were hospitalized. It was feared the other 60 passengers and many others may have been in the snow near Sheremytev airport.
An American Embassy officer said two Americans were among the survivors. The two were receiving emergency treatment at Moscow's Botkin hospital, but their identities or condition were not available, he said.
Officials of Japan Air Lines in Moscow were unable to say whether any Americans were among the killed because the onboard passenger list did not mention nationality.
It was the second major accident near Sheremethyevo airport in six weeks. A plane crashed into a residential building Oct. 13, killing 176 persons. That was the worst accident in civil aviation history.
Tuesday night's Japan Air Lines' flight 448 originated in Copenhagen. It had just
taken off and was scheduled to fly over Siberia to Tokyo when, for unexplained reasons, it burst into flames. It plunged 400 meters above ground covered 32 miles from the airport.
About 300 rescue workers sped to the site, where they freed free and sent to repair ROKH hospital.
Japanese Embassy and airline officials said there were 32 Japanese passengers aboard the plane, 10 non-Japanese people, and a few apparently including back-up personnel.
Western airline sources said Ichiko Katakatami, the Japanese ambassador to Panama, and his wife were among the survivors.
A Bokin hospital nurse said that other than one person she thought was an Englishman, she was unable to give the facilities of the survivors being treated there.
Three of the airline's mechanics, who had serviced the four-engine DC8 at its Moscow stopover, said they saw fire break out before the craft began its plunge.
Witnesses Say Police Lacked Control at SU
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Army and Navy ROTC instructors told a black inmate in the jail who had been charged with police and sheriff's deputies ran out of control and had to be restrained repeatedly by campus security officers the day two students died in a confrontation at Southern
"The situation was very confused, with little or no control being exercised by the deputies or the state police." Navy LL Cpn. Drward Walton said.
Students and ROTC faculty members gave conflicting testimony about what happened when a teacher witness said state police lobbed the first tear gas grenade. But Army Jay, Leon D. Jackson, as assistant professor of military science at Fort Bragg, said the saw came from the crowd of students.
Jackson also said he got mostly "negative responses" from officers and members of the university administration when he attempted to get medical help for the two students—one dead, one dying—who lay on the sidewalk.
He said at one point he approached two university officials about the need for treatment.
"Their words were, 'it's good for them,
They knew what they were getting into.
They deserved what they got"—words to that effect." Jackson said.

A British European Airways pilot said he saw a ball of fire attentive, the same firm that fired the ball during an earlier incident.
Soviet officials and news media still were silent about the crash more than five hours afterward. They seldom report airline accidents in the Soviet Union. Sketchy information on the website was given by the official Soviet news agency Tass the next day.
First reports of Tuesday night's accident came from a Japanese Air Lines official at the airport. He said ground controllers had interact with the plane shortly after takeoff.
4 Irish Killed; IRA Threatens Attack on South
A British spokesman said troops captured a Russian-made rocket launcher with a primed missile when they stopped a car on the fringe of the Creggan Estate, part of the IRA-rated "Free Derry" before the army stormed it July 31.
DUBLIN (AP)—A fresh wave of violence in Northern Ireland claimed four victims Tuesday and the Irish Republican Army threatened to extinguish guerrilla action to proper in retaliation against the jailing underground leader Sean MacStofain.
IRA commanders launched rocket attacks in various areas of the North. But the British army said it foiled another assault attempt in Londonderry in which the guerrillas were planning to use a large Soviet-made rocket for the first time.
The army spokesman said the device was an RPG7, a fairly modern weapon not seen before in Northern Ireland. He gave no indication of how the guerrillas had obtained it, but the IRA is known to have sought arms in Eastern Europe.

The Rev. Sean McMusan, a Roman Catholic priest who visited him, said MacStifanina 'had agreed to take half a cup of water, and saved bloodshed, to save a civil war'.
"I personally hope this is the end of the hunger strike," the priest said.
MacSioffain's wife, Maire, said he had not eaten anything. But, she said, he suffered a heart attack during the day and as a result had agreed to drink a cup of water daily.
The Irish government said only that the 44-year-old IRA leader had ended his thirst strike by taking an unspecified amount of tea. No mention was made of food.
Docking Favors Strauss for Party Head
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) —Kansas Gov. Robert Rocking hints strongly Tuesday that he favored having Robert Strauss of Georgia serve as National Democratic Party Chairman.
Docking said he was committed to supporting no one as a replacement, if Mrs. Westwood resigned. But he also made it clear he liked Strauss.
"I'm a good friend of Bob Strauss!" Docked told newsman who asked him about his position as he heads for a meeting of administrative governors this week in St. Louis.
"I don't know what will happen," Docking said. "It looks like she (Mrs. Westwood) is coming."
Docking indicated that he remained neutral as far as any movement to usr Mrs. Fletcher, a friend of ours.
by George McGovern after McGovern won the party's presidential nomination in 2016.
Docking said he had "very little if any"
contact with Mrs. Westwood, but added;
"The evaluation of her performance as party chairman seems to be, in the minds of most people, reflected in the results of the last election."
Docking said it was pretty obvious the governors of the country were concerned about the Democratic Party representing the mainstream of American thinking.
"I think it's quite appropriate the Democratic governors be concerned about that," he added. "They are concerned about maintaining two-party government in this country. I don't think that is in jeopardy, but many people are concerned."
Docking, the only four-term governor in
"If she doesn't," he said, "about the only way it could be removed would be for the National Committee to vote the post vacant, which is tattention to impeachment. I'm not a member of the National Committee and I don't know what will happen."
"He did a tremendous job on financing the Democratic National Convention," Docking said. The Kansas governor said he did not support the vote and suggest that Mrs. Westwood resign.
Kansas history, had high praise for Strauss,
former Democratic Party treasurer.
Harvard Prof Freed After Week in Jail
Docking said he knew of no movement to bring Lawrence O'Brien back as National Secretary.
BOSTON (AP) -- Harvard professor Samuel L. Popkin, who was jailed because he refused to answer a grand jury's questions about the release of the Pentagon Papers, was freed Tuesday after a week in jail.
Popkin was released from the Norfolk County Jail in Dedham, Mass., after the federal grand jury which has investigated the Pentagon Papers' release for most of this year disbanded in Boston without returning an indictment.
Popkin was released from the Norfolk County Jail in Dedham, Mass., after the federal grand jury which has investigated the Pentagon Papers' release for most of this year disbanded in Boston without returning an indictment.
He had been cited for contempt of court for refusing to answer questions about the once-secret reports on U.S. involvement in Indochina.
Popkin said he did not think he proved anything by his week in jail except "that I meant what I said in court—that I had certain ethics and principles. And maybe I proved that grand juries need to be looked at in this society."
Popkin, a 30-year-old assistant professor of government, has researched U.S. involvement in Vietnam and was an associate of Daniel Ellsberg, a professor at the New York Institute for technology and one of two men on trial in connection with the Pentagon Papers publication.
He said at a news conference that he still does not know for sure why he was called before the grand jury, and that many of the questions he was asked had nothing to do with what he thought the grand jury was investigating.
Pokin said he will resume teaching his classes at Harvard University next Tuesday.
"With the grand jury as the instrument, the ability of scholars and journalists to provide citizens with information essential to their lives will be threatened," Popkin told a news conference.
"We may be faced with as great a threat from the use of grand juries as was ever posed by Joe McCarthy," he said, referring to the late U.S. senator from Wisconsin.
U. S. Atty. James Gabriel said the grand jury was taken before U.S. District Court Judge Frank J. Murray on Tuesday morning and the court was told that there would be no more evidence presented to the grand jury.
He said Popkin was automatically released at the time the grand jury was discharged.
