Frederic assaults Gulf Coast
MOBILE, Ala. — Hurricane Frederic pushed inland yearafter after cutting a wide swath with roadway through the Gulf Coast Gulf, killing at least eight persons and causing thousands to be displaced.
President Jimmy Carter designated 30 counties in Mississippi, Florida and Alabama as major disaster areas, making them eligible for federal aid.
The White House said the president would personally inspect the area by helicopter today.
Pascagoula, Miss, a shipbuilding city of about 28,000 residents, seems to have been the hardest hit.
Though weakening over land, the storm still was dumping heavy rains and packing winds up to 60 mph, strong enough to knock down power lines as far
At 2 p.m. yesterday, Frederic was downgraded to a tropical storm and was centered just northwest of Tuscaloosa, Ala. It was moving north at about 15
Damage in Florida and Mississippi was estimated at more than $85 and $50 million respectively. No estimate was available from Alabama.
KPL gas supply guaranteed
TOPEKA-A Texas-based pipeline company has signed a pact agreeing to cut off any more natural gas to Kansas Power & Light Co. of Topeka until the agreement expires.
David Black, KPL general counsel, said Petal Merelo Cof. of Amarillo, agrees to hold test on future outcomes, such as the August episode in which Mr. Black and his co-workers were killed.
Mesa closed off the fuel supply for almost a week because KPL refused to pay higher rates for the natural gas. Mesa contends that it is entitled to charge higher rates for natural gas already under contract because of federal derecumption of natural gas prices.
KPL, however, maintains that a state law protects it from increased rates. The agreement is expected to prevent fuel cutfuchs from Grant and Clark
Mesa supplies about 60 percent of the natural gas used by KPL, which is the state's largest electric utility.
Etna death toll climbs to nine
CATANIA, Sicily—The death toll in Mount Etna's first fatal eruption this month climbed to nine yesterday and rescue workers feared more bodies still inside the crater.
Surgeons performed amputations on almost a dozen injured survivors. More than two dozen people were injured, including tourists from Britain, Spain and Japan.
At least four persons were reported in critical condition after emergency surgery.
A rescue official said that if there were more dead, they might never be found because from what we've seen so far, some victims must literally have been killed.
Police reported that more than 150 tourists were on the lip of the main crater when Europe's tallest and most active volcano began spewing ash, gas and smoke.
Ira's worst eruption occurred in 1698 when the city of Catania was destroyed in four months of volcanic activity, killing tens of thousands of nocele.
Nazis sentenced in Germany
BUEKEBURG, West Germany—A judge here sentenced six neo-nazis yesterday to prison terms of four to 11 years on charges that they organized or participated in right-wing criminal activity planned by their American leader, Gary Roe Laucki. 25 of Limoe Neh.
The prison sentences followed the first major trial of neo-Nazis in this country and came after a government report warned that such groups were adopting methods of torture.
After a four-month trial, the court concluded that the six men followed the orders of the self-styled U.S. Nazi leader.
Although he is classified as "persona non grata" in West Germany, Lauck was given a safe conduct pass and immunity so he could enter the country to attend.
Among those found guilty was Lauck's friend, Michael Kuehnen, 24. Kuehnen was sentenced to four years in prison for inciting racial harm and chauvinism in the town of Stuttgart.
KBI raid report kent secret
TOPEKA—Attorney General Robert Stephen said yesterday that he would not make public the results of a Kansas Bureau of Investigation probe into allegations of police misconduct during a drug raid on a predominantly black American Legion post here.
Stephan explained in a letter to representatives of two women's organizations that a recent lawsuit filed about the raid precluded him from releasing the KBI
About 120 law enforcement officers were involved in the June 28 raid, which netted only a few arrests, but resulted in numerous complaints of police misconduct, primarily centered on strip searches of about 60 women who were patrons of the lethion that night.
A lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita last week against Shawnee County law enforcement personnel.
that he could not release the report, but find it "the absolute policy of the office not issue findings of an investigation while there is pending litigation."
