Senate panel opposes SALT
WASHINGTON—A report drafted by a decisive majority of the Senate Armed Services Committee concludes that the SALT II treaty is unfair, unverifiable and unfairly used.
A committee majority, said by Senate sources to be 11-6 and perhaps greater, is prepared to recommend that the Senate not ratify the strategic arms deal.
Although the committee's conclusion has no official standing in the Senate ratification process, it is bound to have a psychological affect.
The report, which may be voted on early next week, was made available by a staff member of a senator opposed to the treaty. The asked not to be
Frank Moore, the chief White House lobbist on Capitol Hill, said the Senate would not be able to complete work on the treaty until the first of next
Treaty promises the pact was not likely to reach the floor at all in 1979 and vowed to mount a filibuster on the motion to proceed.
Chrysler loan gains approval
WASHINGTON—The Senate Banking Committee approved a $1.25 billion federal loan guarantee plan yesterday for the Chrysler Corp., including a qualified requirement for at least a two-year wage freeze for the automaker's employees. The vote was 10-4.
The House Banking Committee has approved a $1.5 billion guarantee proposed by the administration, which does not call for a wage freeze.
Rep. John Braunstein, D-Ind., the assistant House majority leader, said the House probably would take up the measure in about two weeks. Senate action is expected.
The bill approved by the Senate committee proposed a total aid package of up to $4 billion, compared with $3 billion from both public and private sources in an effort to stimulate economic growth.
The Senate bill contains $1.25 billion bank loans guaranteed by the federal government.
The bill will create a board with power to waive the wage freeze after the second year if it decided that the entire $4 billion was not needed.

The Kansas City Fire Department said the exact cause of the explosion had not been determined.
Nit. Dan Haar, communications supervisor for the Kansas City police department, said the explosion apparently occurred after a spark created by an ignition source.
He said some of the building's metal sides were hurled 128 feet by the force of the explosion. Some surrounding buildings at the plant were damaged by the explosion.

Pilot error suspected in crash
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand—The pilot of the Air New Zealand DC-10 that crashed in Antarctica and killed all 257 persons aboard probably made a navigational error that took him on the "wrong" side of a volcano, the head of the recovery operation said yesterday.
An airline spokesman acknowledged that the pilot, Capt. Jim Collins, 45, had never flown the Air New Zealand antistatic sightseeing route before. But he said the plane had crashed.
Roy Thomson, New Zealand's chief official in Antarctica and leader of the crash recovery mission, said it appeared that the pilot, not the plane, was to
Thomson said the plane was supposed to fly past the northwest side of Mount Erebus but slammed into the northeast side.
The death toll in Wednesday's crash, including 21 Americans, was the fourth-least fatality in a series of three crashes this year, and it aroused new demands that the McDonnell Douglas plane be disarmed.
Airline spokesman Jim Berry said the airline would have no comment on the cause of the crash until after the black boxes that record flight data and com-

The suit will include the Lone Star route, which operated in Kansas.
Kansas Assistant Attorney General Tom Green said a decision on whether Kansas would join the appeal would be made later this week or next.
