Pan Am 727 aborts takeoff after controller reports fire
MIAMI—A Pan American World Airways Boeing 727 aborted takeoff when one flames in which two passengers were engineered, forcing an airplane in which two passengers were ejected.
A tower spokesman was unable to determine immediately how many flights were delayed by the incident, but said it had occurred during a slack run.
The pilot of Flight 975, which was carrying 52 passengers and crew from Miami to Orlando, immediately reduced the jet's speed and veered it across another runway after a controller reported flares and smoke billowing from the plane, said Ed Newburn, chief of the Miami International Airport control tower.
The aborted takeoff forced the closing of one of the airport's three runways and part of another for more than an hour.
The passengers fled the plane, which had just begun its takeoff and had not updressed, by shaking them emergent slide chutes, while airplane doors closed.
A woman passenger was taken to a hospital where she received treatment for a badly sprained ankle and was released, a spokesman said. Another patient complained of neck pain.
Poles punish martial law violators
WARSAW, Poland—Authorities staged a two-day crackdown on Poles suspected of violating marital law, punishing 52,000 for breaking curfew and detaining 3,500 others, presumably for more serious violations. Polish officials said yesterday.
the campaign, called "operation peace," was launched last week to crush a thriving black market and quell violations of marital law imposed last year.
In a "political signal" of displeasure at repression in Poland, West Germany yesterday announced a series of diplomatic and economic sanctions against Russia.
Bonn's first concrete reaction to President Reagan's call for sanctions by U.S. allies in retaliation for the Polish military crackdown could delay imminent nuclear talks with Russia.
UAW leaders approve Ford pact
CHICAGO—By a nearly unanimous vote, United Auto Workers local leaders yesterday agreed to take to union members a historic contract agreement with Ford Motor Co. that trades wage and benefit concessions for job security.
The move cleared the path for ratification by rank-and-file union members.
The UAW Ford Council, made up of 225 local representatives, approved the vote on a standing vote, four days after the contract was drafted by party officials.
The contract now will be submitted for a vote by the 170,000 eligible Ford boury workers. Of that group, about 60,000 are indefinitely or temporarily
UAW Vice President Donald Ephlin said ratification would begin immediately and should be completed by Feb. 26.
Prime rate rises,production drops
WASHINGTON—The economy, plagued by recession and bad weather, was hit with bad news yesterday as the prime rate climbed half a point, factory production for January plunged 3 percent and new housing starts slipped again.
Analysts in and out of government were dismayed by the increase to 17 percent for the prime rate, which is the barometer of borrowing costs that analysts had been monitoring.
The latest 3 percent drop in factory production, the worst of six consecutive months of declines, brought the Federal Reserve's index to almost 1 percentage point below its low in the previous recession, reached in July 1980.
And the struggling housing industry, badly battered after three years of almost uninterrupted deterioration in sales and starts, slipped another notch last month.
SRS must reveal abortion doctors
TOPEKA—The Kansas Supreme Court unanimously ruled yesterday that the state State and Rehabilitation Services Department must release the records of a student whose death was caused by drug overdose.
However, the court added in its 25-page decision that people seeking information from official public records may have to help cover the costs of such information.
The court's decision reversed an earlier decision by Shawnee County District Judge Fred Jackson, who had sided with the SRS contention that the Docket should not be made.
The suit was filed by the attorney general on behalf of an anti-abortion group. Right to Life of Kansas, Inc.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. —A federal judge last night refused to order the city to let protesters retrace the exact steps of the historic 1965 voters' rights march, despite warnings by black leaders that they would risk going to jail to do so.
In addition to a possible run-in with police, the marchers face a possible showdown with the Ku Klux Klan. Some of its members have promised a strike.
U. S. District Judge Robert E. Varner upheld a city council decision thatanchored the lawsuit from following the downtown route civil highway blockade in the 1982 Selma rally.
Before Varner issued his ruling, the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said the marchers were prepared to defy restrictions of the parade permit and risk going to jail if they were forced to abide by them.
Mobil to inspect rigs after tragedy
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland—Oil company officials said yesterday they would send mini-submarines to inspect the sunken Ocean Ranger oil rig on which 84 men died Monday and will tow two similar rigs to shore for safety checks.
A Mobil official said the underwater survey of the Ocean Ranger by the mini-subs could provide some answers as to why the 30,000-ton rig roped down on their ship.
A Mobil Oil Canada spokesman said both the towing and inspection operations would depend on the weather. A new winter storm caused poor fuel availability.
Rescuers found 40 bodies during a fall between storms—10 from the Ocean Ranger and 21 from a Soviet freighter, which sank yesterday awaiting rescue.
Strasberg, acting giant, dies at 80
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. Clef Strasburst, who developed "method acting" and trained scores of Hollywood's biggest stars, died yesterday morning of a heart attack.
Strasberg, whose students included Marton Brando and Marilyn Monroe, was mourned yesterday by friends and former students as a great teacher.
"As a teacher he was one of the most dedicated people in the creative arts," said Rod Stelter, who joined Strasburg's Actor's Studio in 1947 and taught at the school.
An actor himself, Strasberg was best known for his direction of the Actors Studio. It was there that he became the moving force behind the "method" school of acting—forcing performers, in effect, to "become" the characters they portrayed.
The losses that KU men's athletic teams experienced this season were not only on the football field and basketball court.
KUAC hopes to narrow deficit
They also appeared on the budget books.

Staff Reporter
As of Jan. 31, 1981, the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation quarterly report showed that losses for the football team were $23,874.
Susan Wachter, athletic business manager, estimated that losses from the basketball program would be about $125.000.
The combined total means KUAC is projected to take a loss of $150,000.
WACHTER SAID money that had been projected in the budget but had not been received after three quarters of the fiscal year had passed, was causing the current deficit. KUAC has one quarter left to close the gap.
Single game tickets are still available for basketball games, and the revenue
from those, as well as unexpected additional revenue from the radio network and television contracts, to up most of the difference, Wachter said.
At a KUAC board meeting Tuesday, John Patterson, University comptroller, said that most of the amount budgeted should be recovered.
Richard Konzen, ticket manager,
said a drop in student tickets sales had
increased.
Konzem said that 3,742 student season tickets of the 6,400 allocated had not been sold to students for $104,776 in the budget. He and projected 4,000 tickets would be sold.
KONZEM SAID one way to make up the loss from sagging student ticket sales was to sell more single game tickets to sell as game K-State basketball as an example.
"Single tickets for K-State were overprojected, but I still sold those seats," he said.
The seats were not sold on the student season tickets as planned, but later
were sold at the single ticket price, which was higher, Konzem said.
The single game price for tickets is
while the price of individual games
on the tour is less.
"The bottom line is we are getting it from other sources," Konzem said. "By having the other revenue, it's app to be more of an off-setting effect."
settlement rate at which the reserve seat and student seat prices are split
BESIDES the unexpected income from the radio network and television contracts, revenues from ticket sales and premiums just profits from the ticket purchasing.
For example, the reserve seats during the football season have an $8 split. Konem said KU gets $4 of that and the opposing team gets $4.
The Big Eight Conference sets a
If the home game reserve ticket was sold for $5.00, the $8 split would be the same as for $1.00.

Konzem said that the loss from student tickets could be made up from sales in reserve seats.
"We made it up in reserve seats," Konzem said. "From our vantage point, it doesn't matter if you do sell more reserve seats."
