Slowing winds provide aid to firefighters in California
MALIBU, Calif. — Firefighters took advantage of dwindling winds yesterday to gain the upper hand on raging brushfires that destroyed 125 homes, injured 150 people and blackened about 67,000 acres around Southern California.
The biggest of the major fires was in the Malibu area west of Los Angeles, where county Fire Chief Clyde Braddon said the area burned 16,000 acres.
Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. signed an emergency declaration for Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, the first step in obtaining government disaster relief for the victims.
The very dry Santa Ana winds, which gusted to 60 mph Saturday, drove flames over ridgetops in the Santa Monica Mountains, down the canyons and across Pacific Coast Highway to the sea. The northern front of the fire burned into neighboring Ventura County.
Damage was estimated at about $15 million and six firefighters and 140 civilians were treated at Red Cross centers for injuries.
Police give food to Amtrak gunman
RALEIGH, N.C. — A man, who police suspect is the gunman who has been held up for three days in an Amtrak sleeping compartment, suddenly lowered a train window yesterday, began waving at police and motioned them toward the car.
The man's appearance at the window marked the first time that authorities have seen anyone inside the railroad car since the siege
A white sheet was hung out the window, and two hours later, police tied a blue bag, containing sandwiches and fruit drinks, to it before it was pulled back into the compartment.
But the man continued to hold two small children. Police thought a woman in the compartment was dead
The gunman, who identified himself Saturday night as Mario, threatened to kill himself and, for the first time, mentioned the presence of a child in his grasp.
Bullring collapse kills six, hurts 300
MEXICO CITY — Police searched yesterday for the owner of a portable bulbring that collapsed while it was filled to more than double its seating capacity, killing at least six people and injuring more than 300 others.
Police Col. Augusto Fernandez Jasso, who directed rescue operations, said the Carlos Arruza Bulling collapsed when some 1,500 people jammed into the 600-seat structure to watch the arrival by helicopter of Mexican matador Antonio Lomelin.
The tragedy occurred in the southwestern Mexico City suburb of San Pedro Actopan during festivities surrounding a national cookoff of mole.
Six people died, 26 remained hospitalized and some 125 others had been treated and released, police said. The Red Cross, which first reported seven dead, said another 300 people suffered minor injuries.
Sub may have escaped Swedish bay
BERGA, Sweden — The supreme commander of Sweden's military said yesterday a foreign submarine trapped near a top-secret compound in the southern Baltic Sea.
Additional troops and surveillance planes patrolled the restricted waters near Sweden's top-secret Musko naval nose. Roads and navigable channels leading to and from the bay were closed by the authorities.
Activities around underwater barricades at the northern entrance of the bay were rewived yesterday afternoon after a 24-hour hull in visible action. A Vertal helicopter equipped with active sonars hovered over the bay and did not confirm that there were new indications of the submarine's location.
In Mysinger Bay, where a second submarine was detected Thursday, mine fields have been activated and one of the navigable channels is open.
Bolivia swears in civilian president
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Hernan Siles Zuazo, who returned two days ago from two years of exile, was sworn in westerly as Bolivia's first civilian president in 18 years and cheered by 4,000 countrymen who demanded "death" to the military regime.
The 69-year-old president called for increased worker participation in business and industry and pledged new incentives for private sector.
Outgoing President Gen. Guido Vildoso, shouting to be heard above jeers and whistles from the crowd outside the legislative palace, said he
Siles Zuazo, leader of the Popular Democratic Union, which includes the Communist Party, won the presidential election in 1890 but was prevented from taking office when an Army General overthrew the government weeks before he was to assume the presidency.
Study ponders solar night reflectors
WASHINGTON — A space agency study reports that technology is available to place a series of half-mile wide solar reflectors in orbit to provide the light of 56 moons and illuminate major population centers at night.
Researchers said one big problem would be that most people probably would not like illumination all night. Another potential problem would be possible ecological impact such as the effects on plant photosynthesis and wildlife habits.
The study, disclosed by Science Trends newsletter, was conducted by John E. Canady Jr., and John L. Allen Jr. of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. The study said such a project was economically feasible.
The engineers estimated that a constellation of 18 solar reflectors could provide approximately two hours of illumination for a cost of $1.44
Frigid temperatures engulf Rockies
Icey winds plummeted temperatures yesterday to record depths as low as 5 degrees in the northern Rockies and hampered efforts to dig out eastern Wyoming and South Dakota's Black Hills from a two-day storm that dumped up to four feet of snow.
Most of the 250 miles of U.S. 85 between Cheyenne, where there is a root of snow on the ground, and the South Dakota border remained
The Rockies were frigid from Montana to northern New Mexico. Breckenridge, Colo., recorded 5 above zero, West Yellowstone, Mont., had a low of 13, and a reading of 17 at Casper, Wyo., broke a 36-year record of 20 degrees.
Snow turned to rainshowers over the northern plains. Light rain was scattered from the Dakotas to Michigan.
Thunderstorms in southern Texas dumped an inch and a half of rain at San Antonio, while four inches of rain fell in seven hours near Cotulla.
Experience a major issue, candidates say
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
The two candidates for the first District seat on the Douglas County Commission each said last week that experience was what the biggest campaign
nancy Hiebert, who is running as a Democrat, said she had had 20 years experience in the fields of health and education.
"During that time I feel I've gained a great deal of administrative experience and a great deal of lobbying experience." Hiebert said.
Hank Booth, who is running as a Republican, said he had more business and managerial experience than Hiebert.
"A key point in this election is who has the management and administrative expertise to make very hard-nosed economic decisions and management decisions. There's a clear-cut distinction between the two candidates." Booth said.
THE CANDIDATES also said the University of Kansas could play a large role in attracting industry to Douglas County.
"The University is very important in that prospect of drawing high standards."
Hiebert said, "I would be very interested in seeing the University's changes."
Hiebert said: "What's probably important is why the people of Douglas County think that's a conflict of interest and that's an issue. I think you have to come to grips as a voter with whether you feel the media in the community should be in the role of governor where local government is concerned."
The two disagreed, however, on whether Booth's position as general manager of KLWN-KLZR radio would have a conflict of interest if he were elected.
BOOTH SAID that his work would not constitute a conflict of interest.
Hank Booth
"They're really looking for straws when they throw that out." he said.
"That newsroom is an independent "
"I think that an understanding of farm and rural issues is a really important thing for a county commissioner to have." Hiebert said. "I do think there's a sense of feeling more comfortable and more at ease about having a candidate who has had a farm background."
Both of the candidates said that their rural backgrounds were important.
Booth said: "When you talk about a knowledge of the needs of the rural interests of Douglas County, I know those people in the rural areas and they know me. You either know those people or you don't. I know them and my opponent does."
THE TWO candidates also differed on the importance of a bipartisan county commission. If Booth were to be appointed, many commissioners would be Republican.
"I also think that a bipartisan commission is an issue that the voters need to consider. For some people, this situation is important." Hiebert said.
Booth, however, said the commission was essentially a non-partisan body. He said he challenged anyone to find a decision the commission had made on
"Most of the decisions, when there is a conflict, are made on an urban rural setting."
THE CANDIDATES said the county commission should seek public comment on ways of regulating development in the county.
and urban interests in dealing with land-use issues, such as where to allow new development.
Two proposed changes in the subdivision regulations would have restricted development in the county to areas that have been properly platted and zoned, unless the plot that a house must be built on was 40 acres or larger.

Technical hitch delays the raising of Mary Rose
By United Press International
PORTSMOUTH, England — Prince Charles dived down to inspect the wreckage of King Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose yesterday when a technical hit led efforts to raise the ship in support that hain on the seabed since 1545.
"There is a great deal of will and determination to get the Mary Rose up tomorrow," the prince declared as he surfaced and pulled off his face mask. "I'm determined to be here and I want to be able to see it up."
The operation is the climax to one of the world's most during marine conservation projects — the raising of a ship, a microcosm of Tudor life miraculously preserved in the English mud, that suddenly sank 457 years ago.
KING HENRY heard the cries of her 700 drowned men, the best of England's sailors. Only about 40 survived.
On July 19, 1545 the ship sailed from Pamukkale and confront a French army attack.
The Mary Rose lay forgotten in the mud barely three-quarters of a mile
Since then a trust headed by Prince Charles has spent nearly 4 million pounds ($7 million) to raise the 700-ton, 30-metre structure now as brittle as an earplug.
A technical problem delayed the lifting of the vessel yesterday.

The whole contraption was to have been raised by a giant crane but one of the legs of the "bedstead" bent and the device could not be secured.
THE SHIP had been shackled to a frame that looked like a giant yellow bedstead, then lowered back onto a specialist steel cushion made of metal with armrests.
