Prinsendam survivors criticize crew
JUNEAU, Alaska—Passengers rescued from the burning Dutch cruise ship Prinsendam said yesterday that the ship and its crew were inadequately prepared for quick evacuation.
The Coast Guard, meanwhile, said the ship would not sink immediately, and ordered firefighters aboard in a renewed effort to save it.
Some of the rescued passengers, however, criticized the Prinendam's aid schemes for causing life-saving lifebacks were inadequately provisioned and badly damaged by fire.
The rescue mission Saturday, in which the ship's crew and 519 passengers were saved, was the largest in modern maritime history.
"There was no rudder or radio," said passenger Richard Boyce, a retired naval officer. "The motor didn't work, and the officer in charge of the lifeboat said he had never been on the boat before. So an amateur yachtman took over the lifeboat."
Columns of smoke billowed from the listing ship yesterday as the blaze fared up new, causing concern at the three-day-old fire had spread to the ship.
He said a helicopter would put nine people aboard the crippled ship to hook up a towline and fight the fire while the ship was being towed to port.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the cutter Mellon reported that the smoke came from burning carpets and an unused lifeboat.
Officials fail to block waste transfer
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-A federal judge yesterday dissolved a temporary restraining order barring the transfer of hazardous wastes from illegal dump sites in Kansas City, Kan., to a landfill in Johnson County. Kansas City, Kan., is in Wandycounty.
However, the Environmental Protection Agency, which had ordered the cleanup, made no decision dayear about when transfers of the waste would resume. The EPA was waiting to see if Johnson County officials would seek an inunction against vesterdav's ruling.
District Court Judge Dale Saffells said moving the toxic wastes as quickly as possible was in the public interest. Johnson County officials oppose the transfer, saying that the health of residents near the landfill could be endangered.
The EPA A is in charge of cleaning up three of six illegal dig sites recently located in Kampala, Kenya. Kanu, who has mastered the wastes at the Defenbaugh laboratory, near Shuwara, will lead the cleanup.
Residents and officials in Johnson County said having the waste in their county could cause air and water pollution problems. The County Board of Commissioners had obtained the temporary restraining order Friday from a Johnson County associate district judge.
Toxic shock illness kills third victim
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. — A teenage Tennessee girl's death officially was attributed to toxic shock syndrome yesterday, making her the third con-
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, meanwhile, advised women to stop using super-absorbent tampons which are thought to be more irritating.
Dr. Clandel Blake, a Morrastatt, Tenn., pathologist said Angela French, of Rutledge, Tenn., had displayed the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome in her 31-year-old daughter.
A spokesman for the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, said its latest report, which included cases going as far back as 1975, showed 408 women infected with the virus.
He said that a number of the most recent reported cases might not be included in those figures.
"In general, women need not stop using tampons," the gynecologists and obstetricians said in a statement. "However, it would be prudent at present to discontinue the use of the newly developed, super-absorbent tampons until more conclusive scientific research has been conducted."
Labor wants end of House of Lords
BRIGHTON, England-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party rejected a plan by the opposition Labor Party yesterday to abolish the House of Lords, calling the plan a step on the way to a Marxist state.
The Conservatives, lagging in public opinion polls because of Thatcher's
conservative stance, would generally conventional convention yesterday
vowing to continue those tough economic policies.
The Conservatives criticized what they said were Marxist resolutions passed at the Labor Party's recent convention.
Instead of doing away with the House of Lords as the Labor Party wants, the Conservatives said the power of the House of Lords should be strengthened and firmly established as a safeguard against arbitrary government.
The Conservatives have long held a large majority in the House of Lords, the upper house of Britain's Parliament.
Labor Party left-wing leader Anthony Wedgwood Benn told his party's convention last week in Blackpool that the next Labor government should immediately create 1,000 new peers who would vote themselves and the House of Lords out of existence.
Norman St. John-Stevales, Conservative leader in the House of Commons, said the House of Lords stood as an effective barrier against the establishment.
"As long as the House of Lords is there, they cannot turn Great Britain into Great Albania," he said.

Stone opposed State Treasurer and Insurance Commissioner Bill Gunter in a Democratic runoff that pollsters rated too close to call.
MIAMI - Candidates died in runoff primaries for the Senate seat of Richard Rhone, D-Fla., yesterday in the nation's last voting before the general election.
Paula Hawkins, a former state public service commissioner, was favored to defeat former Rep. Lou Frey for the Republican senatorial nomination.
In the only runoff primary involving the state's 15 congressional districts, conservatives Bill McCullum and state Sen. Vince Fcecht battled for the nomination in the 5th district, where Rep. Richard Kelly, who had been indicted in the federal Abscam investigation, lost in the first primary, Sept. 9.
The winner will meet Brooksville attorney David Best, a Democrat who narrowly lost to Kelly two years ago.
Forecasts from state election officials had indicated a statewide voter turnout of about 25 percent, with the lowest percentage in some of the most populous states.
Dole, Simpson spar in second debate
TOPEKA- In the second debate between Sen. Robert Dole and his Democratic challenger, John Simpson, Dole yesterday played up his advantage in the polls over Simpson and linked his opponent to unpopular stands of President Carter.
Dole and Simpson addressed about 100 people at a Shawne County Farm Bureau "Meet-the-candidates" evening.
Dole played up Simpson's decision last year to quit the Kansas Senate, to switch from Republican to Democrat and to run for Dole's seat.
Simpson focused on Dole's decision to give up his ranking minority status on the Senate Agricultural Committee for a similar position on the Finance
"I think John forges he's a Democrat now and that he's running with people. The farmer has not done good for the farmers." But neither had Dole. Simpson was.
Simpson said Dole "talks a good game in Kansas," but "votes another way in Washington."
Jordan troops may enter Gulf conflict
BEIRUT, Lebanon—jordan opened its major Red Sea port to Soviet and Iraqi ships bringing supplies to the Iraqi army in Iran and reportedly has massed troops to take part in the Iran-Iraq conflict, sources said yesterday.
By United Press International

Both sides threw reinforcements into the fighting for Abadan and its battered
Two more convicted in Abscam case
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Rep. John Jennette, D-S.C., an admitted alcoholic who said he was drunk when he met with undercover agents in the FBI's Abscam investigation, was convicted yesterday of all bribery and compspiracy charges brought against him in the case.
Jennette's co-dendant, John Stowe, also was found guilty of all counts against him by a federal jury after the courts of deliberation in U.S. District Court.
Both defendants face up to 35 years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines.
Both men were convicted of three counts of an indictment arising from the FBI investigation, in which agents, detectives and other investigators representatives, offered bribes to
Jennette and Stowe were charged with conspiring to receive $10,000 from undercover agents in exchange for promising to sponsor special immigration legislation to get the phony sheik into the country.
politicians in exchange for special favors.
A videotaped show Stowe, a former Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Richmond Va., businessman, picking up $50,000 for Jenrette.
The two men also were charged with offering to set up a similar deal with Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., in exchange for $125,000.
ARAB PRESS REPORTS from Jordan said King Hussein was massing troops on his border with Iraq, waiting to join in the fray.
Thurmond, who testified he was never approached, had called Jennette a "lying skunk" for boasting he could set up the deal.
In Washington, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie said he was concerned that Jordan's moves might widen the Middle East, now had been confirmed to Iraq and Iran.
A JORDANIAN official said that the average number of ships docking weekly in Aqaba had increased from 12 to 36.
oil refinery on the Shatt al-Arab waterway.
When asked whether Jordan's support for Iraq could widen the conflict, Muskie said, "I'm concerned about that point. Jordan has given its signals two weeks ago and it's obvious that Jordan feels importance of its ties to Iraq."
THE STATE DEPARTMENT has told Jordan and other countries that their U.S.-supplied military equipment is under threat from Iran without specific American permission.
Other U.S. officials said the Jordanian moves did not seem militarily significant, because any equipment unloaded at Agaba would still have to travel 80 miles over mostly bad roads to reach Iraq.

However, one diplomatic source said the Jordanian support has deep political meaning, because it risked spreading the confrontation for the first time beyond the borders of Iran and Iraq.
Arab diplomatic sources said another Persian Gulf country, Saudi Arabia, was under heavy pressure from Iraq to stop the United States stand favoring the Iraq war effort.
Both Iraq and Jordan were believed to be angry with the Saudis for not being more openly supportive of the fighting against Iran.
THE SOURCES said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had cleared his invasion plans with the Saudis before undertaking his offensive against Iran. The Saudis reportedly told the Iraqis to go ahead if they were ready.
After several days of guarded criticism, Syria's ruling party newspaper, Al-Baath, launched a full-scale war of words against the Iraqis.

Bob Fosse's biography of "tick" comic Lennie Bruce is built around Dustin Hoffman's work. Like the actor Valerie Perrine as his wife, stripper Tiffany Jasz involves us intensely with this often brilliant, self-destructive man, in film that is both very funny and devoid of narrative tension.
