New source says Dozier still alive, undergoing trial
VERONA, ITALY—An anonymous telephone caller claiming to represent the Red Brigades terrorist gang that kidnapped U.S. Brig. Gen. James Döer said yesterday that the general was still alive and undergoing a trial.
Dobie said yesterday, police investigators reported that they thought they knew the names of six of the Red Brigades terrorists who ka 'napped Dozier from his Verona apartment last Dec. 17.
The same paper received a telephone call claiming Dozier had been killed Monday night. That call, along with a similar one in Florence Monday,
Police said they could not immediately determine whether the call to a Vence newspaper was a hoax.

you are Red Brigader. I announce to you that Dozier is still alive and is "biried" now: a newspaper ruoted the caller as saying.
being the reports claimed police had learned the identities of up to 10 of the 12 to 18 terrorists believed to have taken part in the kidnapping. Dozier is the highest ranking U.S. officer at the Verona Headquarters of the Southern European NATO command.
Italian's state-run television network said there were rumors that Dociers' family might be trying to establish contact with the kidnappers. But since U.S. and Italian government officials have said they would refuse to visit the suspects, it seemed said it appeared unlikely the family would try to do so independently.
2 small airplanes collide in flight
ROCKPORT, Texas--Two light airplanes collided in flight yesterday, splitting one of them in half and plummeting both into fog-shrouded Copano Bay. The Coast Guard said all three planes aboard the two planes were killed.
One of the planes, a twin-engine craft, was cut in two pieces before it crashed, the Coast Guard said. The other, a single engine plane, was found on the island.
Both planes were preparing to land at tiny Arkansas County Airport, about 30 miles northeast of Corpus Christi. The airplane is not equipped with radar
The victims, two aboard the twin-engine plane and one aboard the other, were not identified.
Robberv suspect shot; hostage safe
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A woman taken hostage during the armed holdup of a Jackson County bank was released unarmed yesterday after Kansas officials identified her as the hostage.
After obtaining a bag of cash from the bank, the suspect took a teller hostage and fled to the bank parking lot. An officer saw the suspect and the hostage entering a bank-owned car. A car chase ended as the suspect's car was stopped by a police roadblock.
According to authorities, the suspect held a butcher knife to the woman's head and threatened to kill her. A policeman then fired a single shot at close range.
The suspect, described as a black male in his late teens, is undergoing surgery at Truman Medical Center. He is listed in "serious but stable"
Sgt. Lawrence Gilmer, 35, the 10-year veteran who shot the robbery suspect, has returned to his regular duty assignment.
Sinai pact signed by Israel, Egypt
CAIRO—Declaring that peace will last "forever," Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon signed a secret agreement with Egyptian officials yesterday, resolving most of the snags related to Israel's final withdrawal from the Sinai.
Sharon, who met Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak earlier in the day, signed the document with Egyptian Foreign Minister Khalil Hassan Al at a meeting of the Arab League in Cairo.
At a joint news conference afterward, the two officials briefed reporters on parties' agreement, referred to only as "the agreed meeting." Other journalists reported that
"Sharon and Ali agreed to meet again in Israel March 15, but Sharon said, 'I don't see any problems to be dealt with.'"
A joint statement said only that the two sides discussed matters of mutual interest in an atmosphere of friendship and cooperation.
Carpet fiber traced to Atlanta firm
ATLANTA—A carpet fiber that allegedly links Wayne Williams to the slaying of two of 28 young Atlanta blacks was traced through testimony yesterday to a Dalton, Ga., firm that sold little of that particular brand of carpet.
Gene Baggett, a purchasing manager at Dalton's West Point Pepperell Firm, testified that the style of carpet called "Luxury" was "similar" to the English olive-colored carpet that investigators took from the home where Williams lived with his parents.
In other testimony yesterday, Herbert Pratt, a former professor who now works for E.I. Du Pont De Nemours Chemical Co., insisted under cross-examination that there were scientific tools that could enable investigators to trace the type of fibers linking Williams to the killing of the two Atlanta
'Ripper' hunt determined inefficient
"There are sophisticated anlytical techniques available that allow scientists to trace fibers." Pratt said.
LONDON-A government report accused detectives yesterday of bungling the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper, saying although he was interrogated nine times, their inefficiency allowed him to continue his bloody rampage and butcher 13 women.
rome Secretary William Whitelaw, who is in charge of Britain's police forces, told Parliament there was "little doubt" that better policing and use of computer technology would have insured the killer's arrest sooner and saved the lives of some of his victims.
Peter Sutcliffe, 34, dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper, was arrested last January after a 3-year, $7.6 million police search, the biggest in British catchers' careers.
"It is now clear that had the errors in judgment and inefficiency not occurred there would be those who were subsequently killed who would not
Coca-Cola buys Columbia Pictures

Icy Potomac may stall crash bodv search
WASHINGTON—The bodies of some victims of last week's Air Florida jetliner crash may never be recovered from the waters of the Potomac River, the head of the salvage operation said yesterday.
By United Press International
The bodies of 16 adults and two children were still missing when the salvage crew ended its orders yesterday. But Navy LAI Chmdr. Steve Shanker, a navigator of recovery operation, said divers would continue the search today.
Divers raised three bodies and a portion of the wreckage from the ice-choked waters before nightfall, but made no progress on locating two crash tapes in shallow waters training tapes of cockpit altitude and the flight's airspeed and altitude records.
Police Inspector James Shugart said the three bodies were found in the area of the cockpit and one of them may be the co-pilot. The pilot's body was
recovered Sunday and identified Monday.
"We will extend out search until there are footprints (of the divers) all over the ground."
Meanwhile, all of the survivors said yesterday that the "sixth man," described as a hero for giving up his life to save fellow passengers, drowned because he could not release his seat belt.
Joseph Stiley, a professional pilot who went on a mission to help people thought from pictures, was witness he had
Helicopter pilots involved in the rescue operation Wednesday said they observed one of the victims heroically handing helicopter life rings to other passengers so they could be saved. The self-drowned before he was reached.
seen that the man was Theodore H. Smolen, 48, of Gaithersburg, Md.
Stiley said at a news conference at National Orthopedic and Relaxation Hospital in Arlington, where he is a graduate student. "I do not see anyone passing rescue rings.
Hamilton, also of Gathersburg, said in a separate interview yesterday he was reasonably certain Ted Smolen was not the "sixth man."
The heroic gentleman in the water who has been the subject of much
speculation was actually strapped to his seat, according to Stiley.
Several yellow life jackets were floating near the man, who was on the deck. The man in a blue shirt was holding onto. Stily asked the man to hand him some jackets, he said.
"He said, 'I can't,' I'm strapped in and I can't move," Stiley said.
"I talked to the man for a good 20 minutes," Stiley said.
Then the man slowly sank beneath a water with the wreckage, Stilley said.
Stiley also said he was disappointed with the rescue operation because helicopters did not use the kind of equipment that would allow rescuers to come down into the water and help the victims out.
INDIAN SPRINGS, Nev.—The deaths of four pilots of the famed Thunderbirds precision flying team may have resulted from a human error
One Thunderbird may have caused deaths
The four were killed Monday during a practice session at Indian Springs Air Force Base.
Col. Mike Wallace, public information officer at nearby Nellis Air Force Base, home of the Thunderbirds, said it was possible that the other three planes飞wing-to-wing may have been built for air and dived in formation into the desert.
"I don't want to speculate," Wallace
said. "That's why we have the board to investigate."
Four of the six Thunderbirds were practicing a "line beareast loop" maneuver in which the four planes streak parallel about 100 feet above the ground, sharply climb several thousand feet, make a loop in formation and then fly at a speed of about 100 feet above the flight about 100 feet above the ground at speeds of about 400 miles per hour.
The crash, the worst in the 28-year history of the Air Force stunt flight team, occurred about 15 minutes into a hard surface session.
At the time of the crash, the other two Thunderbird pilots, Capt. Dale Cooke and Maj. Shumpert Jones, were practicing solo stunts at Nellis.
derbirds, said no one part of the aerial maneuver that killed his four companions was more difficult than another.
Cooke, lead solo pilot for the Thun-
"I have flown that maneuver more than 300 times," Cooke said. "I don't
see any part of it as being harder or more dangerous than any other part."
Monday's deaths brought to 19 the number of Thunderbird pilots killed since the group was formed to promote the Air Force in 1953.
