14 killed in plane crash; more hurt in other wrecks
TAFT, Calif. — A twin-engine plane carrying a dozen skydivers crashed shortly after takeoff yesterday and exploded in flames, killing all 14 people aboard.
Kern County Sheriff's deputies said 12 skydivers, a jumpmaster and the pilot were killed.
Art Armstrong, operator of the Taft School of Sport Parachuting at Garner Field, eight miles outside of Taft, said he saw the private Beechcraft C45H take off, go into a stall and crash into a parachute drop zone at the popular skydiving area.
In New Jersey, Coast Guard divers were stymied by rough seas yesterday while searching for survivors of another plane crash, a cargo plane that ditched off the New Jersey coast. Four Colombian Air Force were thought to be trapped in the plane, and a fifth was presumed lost.
Helicopters hovered over the Hercules C-130, its tail jutting above 10-foot waves, and Coast Guard officials hoped there was an air pocket inside to keep any survivors alive.
Also yesterday in Geneva, Switzerland, an Egyptair jetliner with 174 people aboard landed 60 yards short of the runway in a rainstorm and caught fire at Geneva's Cointrin Airport. Five passengers were injured.
Tylenol suspect wanted for murder
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Because the FBI identified the Tylenon extortion suspect as James W. Lewis, Kansas City officials now want to identify him. In 1978 dismemberment killing because the FBI identified his fingerprint evidence in the case, the Chicago Sun-Times reported yesterday.
Sgt. Michael Inverge of the Tylonel task force in Chicago confirmed that the Kansas City murder case was reopened when the FBI identified as Lewis' 'a fingerprint on a pallet used to hoist the dismembered body of a man' in a ceiling. Kansas City police had not been able to identify the fingerprint.
The Sun-Times said Kansas City police would ask for a new murder indictment tonight against Lewis. Kansas City officials were not immediately available for comment.
Taiwan offers $2 million to defector
SEOUL, South Korea — A defecting Chinese major who piloted his MIG jet fighter in a daring flight to South Korea was offered more than $160 million.
The offer was part of a determined bid by the Chinese National government in Taiwan to score a propaganda victory by getting hold of the pilot who on Saturday landed 10 miles south of Seoul at a South Korean base where there is an American military installation.
The detection was a potential source of embarrassment for the Chinese not only because it pointed to disaffection, but also because it suggested weaknesses in Chinese radar defenses.
For a MiG-19, the reward is the cash equivalent of 4,000 tails of gon,
amounting to about $2.2 million.
A "worthwhile" but smaller reward will be offered if a pilot decides to come but is unable to bring his plane.
Nuclear plan would restrict NRC
WASHINGTON — The Reagan administration's plan to speed up nuclear power plant licensing would cut back significantly on requirements that utilities make important engineering changes to move reactor safety, an Energy Department report released Friday said.
The proposed streamlining of the licensing process would restrict the power of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's staff to order newly developed safety improvements.
The NRC now may compel utilities to install such engineering improvements — called "backfits" — on existing plants to improve their safety. Such safety improvements often add tens of millions of dollars to the cost of a reactor.
Under the proposed plan, backfits would not be ordered if a plant "is operating at an acceptable level of risk," according to the report.
Charities protest GOP fund-raiser
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — About 150 people ate potato soup last night; a mobile kitchen suite set up across the street from a $100-a-plate Republican fund-raiser where seven U.S. senators and 500 guests dined on prime rib and artichoke hearts.
Four religious missions moved their charity meal program to a plaza across from the Convention Center to protest the black-tie fund-raiser for Sen. Harrison Schmitt, R-N.M., who is seeking re-election.
The Salvation Army, one of the four missions, said that the move was a statement and that they would have done the same thing if the fund-raiser did.
"We want the senators and others to know the need of the poor in this community." Salvation Army Maj. Robert Keene said before the fundraiser.
Nurses' efforts cause abortion limits
SAN FRANCISCO — The refusal by nurses to serve at late term abortions has caused some hospitals in the San Francisco Bay area to limit admission for the operation to women who are beyond their third month of pregnancy.
The nurses contend that the fetuses to be discarded look too much like babies who could have survived.
"This is not a stand against abortion," said Sylvia Beach, associate administrator for nursing at Merritt Hospital in Oakland. "They are just saying when it is that late in the pregnancy they can't handle it.
because or the retusal of nurses to attend late abortions, some hospitals have voted to place new limits on abortions.
At Herrick Memorial Hospital, Berkeley, the controversy touched off picketing by pro- and anti abortion groups.
L.A. criminals change eating habits
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County wants to know if criminals eat the wrong food. Do real crooks eat tofu chee?
The county is trying to change the eating habits of juvenile delinquents and adult criminals, weaning them away from junk food and onto a nutritious health food diet.
The plan's backers hope that eating nutritious food instead of French cheese would change the metabolism of the antisocial elements that they will become law.
The more skeptical think that at best it cannot do any harm to have healthier citizens, criminal or not.
Banned from juvenile halls and youth camps are all soft drinks and candy, replaced by fruit juice and fresh fruit.
The program has cost the taxpayers nothing, the task force members say. They donate their time and the menu changes have not increased the food budget at all, they said. It is too early to determine practical effects yet, they say.
Fliers urge Polish workers to strike
WARSAW, Poland—Leaflets circulated in the steel mill town of Nowa Huta yesterday urging workers to stage a protest strike Wednesday to coincide with the strike of a steel worker killed by police in anti-government street fighting last week.
By United Press International
The leaflets called on the 40,000 workers at the giant Leonin steel mill in the Krakow suburb to strike around the time of the youth's funeral and demand revival of the outlawed Solidarity labor union.
Fliers in Warsaw and Gdansk also called for a strike this week. The martial law government crushed a two-day strike at the Lenin shipyard and other facilities in Gdansk last week
THE GDANSK strikes were followed by two nights of street clashes in the
Baltic port area, as well as demonstrations and clashes in Wrocław and Nowa Holące.
Residents of Nowa Huta said riot police still cruised the streets, but no incidents took place following a mass at the Our Lady Queen of Poland (God's Ark) church, near the spot where 20-year-old Bogdan Wilosik was killed.
In Warsaw, Polish authorities ordered a Canadian television correspondent out of the country because he was doing journalistic work on a tourist visa, Western diplomats said yesterday.
On Thursday and Friday, riot police used tear gas, water cannons, flares and noise grenades to rout several demonstrators gathered at the memorial in Nowa Huta.
THE DIPLOMAT said the correspondent, Clark Todd of Canadian television network CTV5, was stopped by police last week as he covered the Nowa Halu disturbances. The dispense marked Wednesday marked the 10th month of manhunt. They erupted when riot police broke up a march demanding the revival of up
free trade union, Solidarity, which has been formally outlawed by the military government.
Roman Catholic Archbishop Josef Glemp told a congregation of 1,000 in Warsaw Saturday night that the decision to ban Solidarity and the other martial law trade unions had been made without consulting the working class.
BUT HE STRESSED that Solidarity did not need an organization to keep its "ideas alive and in effect urged the dissolution of the union structures.
*"What would be the justification for a Solidarity which would expend itself in*
Glemp said the people must not break down under the burden of crisis and dashed dreams, and above all, they must not lose hope.
the struggle and opposition against others"” he asked.
The sermon, at a ceremony marking the fourth anniversary of the election of Pope John Paul II, was one of Glemp's most somber, bitter and emotional speeches of the 10 months of military rule.
IN IT, he touched on the difficult and delicate position the church is in in relation to the military regime. The church — which counts 80 percent to 90 percent of all Poles as believers — has been for centuries a unifying force in the country and the main moral arbiter of the nation.
The church has been criticized recently for being too conciliatory to the government.
Swazi princes arrested for alleged poisoning
By United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Swazi police have arrested two power-hungry sons of the late King Sobhuza II on charges of misusing their doctor's opinion, the Sunday Times reported. One later escaped.
Swazi police in Mbabane, capital of Swaziland, refused comment on the report that Sobuza's 61-year reign was ended by foul play. The king had hundreds of sons by his many widows, died Aug. 21 at the age of 83.
The Johannesburg newspaper said Sobhuza's senior wife, who is now ruling the country as regent until a new king is chosen, led moves to give her a second last month only three weeks after the king's Sept. 3 state funeral.
SORHUZA'S senior wife, known as the N迪ovlukova or Great She-Elephant, confronted the princes with her suspicions that they gave away all their belongings to a by a witch doctor in the nearby nation of Malawi, according to the
report. The two sons were not identified.
She then concluded, along with the king's eldest daughter, Princess Bethuah, and two close advisers, that she should investigate immediately.
The princes were arrested and held incommunicado at the Lobamba Royal Palace outside Rome, one of them escaped, the report said.
South African police forensic experts called in to analyze beer and other liquids found in Sobuzhna's sleeping quarters after he died from poison and are now analyzing the tissue from the monarch, it said.
SORUHZA was the world's longest-reigning monarch since Britain's Queen Victoria last century.
Quoting South African intelligence sources, the report said the poisoning theory had been weakened by the negative lab tests but the associations betrayed a fierce success. The country has 650,000 population kingdom set in mountainous country between Mozambique and South Africa.
Army alters ways; co-ed training ends
By United Press International
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — The Army this week is ending its four-year experiment of combined male-female basic training, which began when the Rights Amendment seemed likely to become part of the Constitution.
But the ERA that would have mandated the coed program is dead, and recruiters, aided by a high unemployment rate, have had no trouble attracting enlistees with or without the inducement of men and women going through basic training together.
ARMY OFFICIALS refer to the dropping of coe- training as a change in procedure, rather than the end of an experiment.
"We're going to make something already satisfactory, better," said Col. Jerry Ginn, commander of the post's 5th Battalion, 3rd Brigade.
"I think it was a proven fact that it worked," Ginn said of the combined training. "The only thing the female soldiers can't do right now is the same number of sit-ups, push-ups or run as fast."
IN ANY CASE, the post's final
training company with women recruits will graduate Thursday. After that, women will undergo training among themselves at Fort Dix, N.J.; Fort Jackson, S.C.; and Fort McClellan, Ala.
Ginn said the main reason for reverting to the old style of training was that women recruits, with few exceptions, were unable physically to handle the men. However, some women with athletic backgrounds join the Army.
"Some of them, pardon the expression, are jocks," Ginn said.
Lt. Duane Lasley, the company commander, said the women "meet the standards" of basic training and made good soldiers, but added he was glad the men and women would again be separated at boot camp.
"THE MALEES get bored and they look at the females," Laesley said. "That may be a distraction. We have to train soldiers to the maximum potential."
"We can train (women) to meet the standards, but they may hold back the girls."
Still, Lasley said he was glad the Army had tried combined training.
