Rock Island service extended
WASHINGTON—The Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday extended its order directing a group of Midwest railroads to provide government-subsidized service along routes normally served by the bankrupt Rock Island Railroad.
Under the order adopted yesterday, service would cover over 80 percent of track in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico
The decision means that the Kansas City Terminal Railway Co., a switching company owned by 12 railways, will continue to manage operations over most of its territory.
The commission said that during the 90-day period, service might be modified either as a result of court authorization grants of temporary authority to authority to accept its payment.
Kansas Gov. John Carlin was described as being disappointed that the ICC insured his plea for a 180-day extension of the order.
Bill Hoch, Carlin's press secretary, said the governor considered the six-month, "the minimum amount of time he was necessary to provide" information.
Four people shot before party
PHILADELPHA- Four people, including a 106-year-old man, were gunned down yesterday after they arrived at a birthday party for a 104-year-old woman.
"It looks like it was some sort of a madman with a gun," said Leon Bivens, lay leader at Haven Memorial United Methodist Church.
One of the dead was Moses Beckett, 106, said the Rev. Roderick Clark, church pastor. He said the party was for Beckett's sister, Eila Palmer.
A spokesman at St. Joseph's Hospital said Shade Sherman, 63, and Althea
65 also supplied from their wounds.
Edward Durrah, 78, was reported in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds.
Women storms Kennedy office
WASHINGTON - A woman, carrying a knife and shooting incoherently, was arrested yesterday after she burst into the reception area of Edward. Signed MD.
A Secret Service agent was cut on the wrist in the struggle to subdue the woman.
Kennedy was in his office, but was separated from the reception area by another room. He said later he was unaware of the disturbance.
The woman was identified as Suzanne Osgod, 38, of Belfast. She was charged with assault on a federal officer, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years
The woman was arrested with the help of Capitol police and appeared later in the day before U.S. Magistrate Lawrence Margola. Margolia ordered her held under arrest for assault.
Court rules on public searches
WHEREVER YOU face a situation you need to search a place may not
search all persons who happen to be there. the Supreme Court said yesterday.
In the first constitutional ruling of its new term, the court outlawed such searches as unreasonable invasions of privacy.
The justices, voting 6-3, struck down an Illinois man's conviction for heroin possession. They ruled the drug should not have been used as trial evidence
In other decisions yesterday, the court ruled, by a 6-1 vote, that the federal government can deny certain money to school districts if statistics show their teachers are racially segregated. The court also made it more difficult to sue the government in medical malpractice by effectively shortening the time limit for filing such suits.
Avery closure hearing delayed
MARION—Whether pre-trial proceedings for an 18-year-old man accused of stealing a Feathery bank will be closed to the public and reporters will not be allowed to file in this case.
Associate Judge George F. Scott docked Timothy Newfield for 10 a.m. d.e. 19, said a spokesman for the Marion County court.
The Haysville teenager was charged with premeditated murder, felony murder, aggravated kidding, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
Newfelt's public defender had filed motions to keep the public and reporters out of pre-trial proceedings, and also some motions to suppress evidence and conduct an investigation.
It is believed to be the first test in Kansas of a July U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed such hearings to be closed if publicity could jeopardize a
Americans refuse ticket home
BEIRUT - Lebanon — Americans working in Moslem nations appear to be in no rush to avail themselves of a free ticket home, despite fervent anti-Arabism. (AP)
The State Department has offered passage to the states for "non-essential" employees and their families based on 11 Islamic countries.
Some U.S. companies followed suit because of the U.S. Embassy seizure in Tehran and the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, where two U.S. embattled officials were killed.
There have been anti-America demonstrations by Moslems in recent weeks from India to Turkey, and U.S. Embassy security has been stepped up in all areas.
Almost 400 diplomatic personnel and their families were evacuated from Pakistan after the emissary attack, but elsewhere in Muslim nations, while they were on duty, their staffs were left to die.
Soviets to tighten belts in 1980
MOSCOW—Soviet leaders disclosed yesterday that they have toned down their economic goals for 1980. Their new plan calls on citizens to tighten their belts under a 4.5 percent growth rate based in part on slack oil and grain yields this year.
Although seven leaders have not disclosed 1970 output for such key products, the crop yield estimates from the 1960s and 1970s gave grain harvest since 1978. The 179 million metric ton harvest fell about 47 percent.
The overall growth rate for 1979 remains secret, but originally was targeted for 5.7 percent. Soviet economists say privately that it will be about 4.2 percent.
Warren Report disputed again
Ross Ralston, associate director of the National Committee to Investigate Assassinations, also charged that the commission failed to investigate important evidence and was restricted by the FBI. He made the charges in Kansas City, Mo, where he had a speaking engagement.
KANAS CITY, Mo.—A criminalist yesterday dispatched the Warren commission's report of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, saying Mr. Kennedy was a "maniac."
Lee Harvey Owald was charged with Kennedy's murder, which occurred Nelly 1983, and was shot to death himself two days later in the basement of a dallamation house.
Ralston, who has studied the Kennedy assassination since 1981, said he insisted that Odah had enough time to both prepare his rifle and arrange a team of volunteers. "I had no other choice," he said.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand - An Air New Zealand DC-10 carrying 257 persons on an adventurous flight to the bottom of the world slammed into a volcano yesterday on the ice-bound coast of Antarctica, apparently airborne. It was one of history's worst air incidents.

but reported seeing no sign of life. The tail portion of the giant plane was intact by overflow, they said. A search party was on the way overland to the foot of the mountain.
A Navy C-138 search plane from the U.S. Antarctica base at McMurdo Sound spotted a helicopter on approach up to 1,500 feet up the slope of Mount Erebus, a snowmobile in a 24,600-foot peak near the Antarctic Peninsula.
Three New Zealand mountain climbers were dropped by helicopter at the crash site
Passengers on the sightseeing flight included 98 Americans, the airline said.
"It looks as though it burned. No survivors have been sighted. They are expecting a complete fatality," said Navy spokesman Petty Officer Mike Hatcher.
A swing around Erebus, on Ross Island off the Antarctica coast 2,000 miles south of New Zealand, is part of the spectacular 11-hour air tour.
THE HARSH conditions of terrain, blowing snow and tricky winds around the volcano keep Navy helicopters from Mecca. The storm landed at the crash site immediately.
The cause of the crash was not known. "The crew did not report any trouble in their last contact电台 at 2:30 p.m." in Air New Zealand spokesman Chris Smith said.
Hatcher said efforts were continuing to recover the bodies.
The identities of the victims, including 20 crew members, were withheld until notification of next-of-kin, airline officials said.
I recover the bodies.
The course of the crash was not known.
There were no immediate indications that any structural problem was involved in the crash.
The crash of the New Zealand sightseeing plane was the third fatal crash involving a DC-10 this year, including a May 25 accident of a O'Hare Airport that killed 373 persons.
