Group formed to study accident
WASHINGTON—President Carter appointed 11 persons yesterday to investigate the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor, including the lead investigator.
The commission was given six months to investigate the accident. Carrier told the panel to study the role played by Metropolitan Edison Co., which operates the plant; assess the emergency preparations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other federal, state and local authorities; and evaluate the results of the proposed response.
On Tuesday, South Carolina closed its borders to two trucks carrying radioactive waste from the damaged Three Mile Island land with a burial site.
Hehward Shealy of the department of health and environment in Columbia, S.C., ordered the trucks to return to the Harrisburg, Pa. plant after receiving word from Chem Nuclear Systems Inc, that most of the material on one of the trucks was from the Three Mile plant's Number Two reactor that was damaged
Similarly said last week he would permit no waste from the damaged reactor in the state because of the "high probability" they would be "long-lived waste

More trials were reported in progress yesterday, including those of three police officers suspected of torture.
*charges against the 11 executed men ranged from treason and corruption to 'acts against the people.' Nearly half of them were shot for white-collar crimes or the sanctioning of murder and torture charges that have dominated past court hearings.

NOW boycott ruling appealed
ST. LOUIS—Attorney General John Ashcroft yearned after掀 a federal district court upholding a boycott of Missouri cities by the National
Ashcroft said the petition for appeal was necessary to protect Missouri residents from continued economic harm resulting from the boycott.
NOW began its boycott of convention sites in Missouri two years ago, after the state had failed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
Aschroff filed suit last year—the first such civil suit in the nation—in an effort to stop the boycott, contending it violated federal antitrust laws.
U. S. District Judge Elmo Hunter had ruled Feb. 21 in Kansas City, Mo, that the boycott did not violate antitrust laws. The judge found Missouri could properly file the suit under federal antitrust laws, but ruled against the state on the merits of the case.
Elevator explosion injures 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A spinning blade in an air pollution control device sparked an explosion at a grain elevator late Tuesday that injured four
North Kansas City Fire Marshal Donald Burgeon said a second-floor device used to grind byproducts of the plant "picked up a foreign object of some type."
The spark triggered an explosion, which "iterally blew the filter wide open and shook dust loose from the whole structure which just compounded the fire."
Byproducts of plant operations are ground to dust before being fumelled to hard-floor storage bags that keep them from being released into the atmosphere.
The blast occurred two miles north of downtown Kansas City and was the third grain dust explosion in 15 months in the Kansas City area.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials obtained a court order yesterday to enter the elevator to investigate. OSHA issued a 20-page citation against the plant last year alleging a series of violations after an inspection.
Evans challenges Alabama law
MOBILE, Ala.—Condemned murderer John Louis Evans III, who was adamant in his desire to die in Alabama's electric chair last week, has signed a federal court appeal that postpone his electrocution for months, his lawyer said yesterday.
Roggie Stephens, a Mobile lawyer retained earlier by Evans to fight for the death sentence, said Evans signed an appeal challenging the constitutionality of the law.
The appeal was expected to be filed today with the U.S. District Court in Mobile.
An earlier appeal, filed by Evans' mother which resulted in a stay of execution by Supreme Court Justice William Rehquist last Thursday, denied Mr. Rehquist's appeal.
Evans' appeal probably would take months and perhaps a year or longer before becoming an order. Stephens said. If the challenge is unsuccessful, he could have instructed the judge.
Washington fire kills 9 patients
Fire department officials questioned whether the building met city safety codes, because there was no emergency exit for persons on the upper floor.
WASHINGTON - A fire thought to have been caused by a careless use of matches roared through a half-way house for mental patients here early this month.
Ralph A. Spencer, building and zoning regulation administrator, said the lack of a second exit would violate the city building code and mean that the occupancy levels would rise.
The fire in the two-story brick building, which did not have smoket detectors or a sprinkler system, was reported by neighbors at 1 a.m., when most of the 47 buildings were on fire.
Profs seek union's recognition
About 420 union members are striking at the university, which employs more than 800 full-time faculty members. The strike began last Thursday after the BU Board of Trustees sought clarification of a proposed faculty contract that had been agreed upon by negotiators from both sides.
**BOSTON**—Boston University faculty and administration met last night with a federal mediator in an effort to bring to an end a contract dispute that has involved the university.
It would be the faculty's first contract after a 3½-year fight in and out of the courts to gain recognition for its union.
Students carrying signs have been picketing with their professors, and Tuesday they marched to the office of John R. Silber, university president, demanding tuition reimbursement for classes missed. Silber refused to meet with them.
The university, which serves 25,000 students, said a substantial number of classes were continuing. However, the faculty union, the American Association of University Professors, claimed it had shut down 90 percent of the university's operations.
Weather...
It will be mostly cloudy today with a 30 percent chance of showers, according to the National Weather Service. The temperature should reach the low 50s; with some thunderstorms, it may be raining.
