Derailment evacuation ending
CRESTVIEW, Fla.—Thousands of Florida Panhandle residents, forced from their houses Sunday by toxic fumes billingowing on the area's latest chemical train derailment, awaited word yesterday on when they might be able to return.
About 4,500 people were evacuated from an 80-square-mile area surrounding the pileup and spent the night in temporary shelters. All were allowed to go home.
The evacuation came after 28 cars of a Louisville & Nashville freight train, almost all carrying toxic chemicals, tumbled off the rails Sunday west of
There was only one minor injury.
By midday yesterday most of the gas that had been in the damaged tank cars was expended. Officials said the spilled chemicals were acetone, carbalic acid,
A dermalment on the east side of Crestview last May prompted a smaller evacuation. Last year in Youngtown, about 75 miles away, eight people died in a car crash.
More killed in Islamic purge
TEHRAN, Iran—Iranian courts continued to exact their swift, methodical retribution from members of the old regime by executing six “enemies” of them.
Nineteen persons have been executed since Thursday, when the secret
teachers recanted their work after a three-week suspension.
Besides the six, unconfirmed reports said four policemen were executed in the city of Bebbahan.
Islamic militiamen, meanwhile, continued to hunt down 152 persons on a list of wanted persons issued by the revolution regime.
Executed early yesterday, before a firing squad, were a former air force commander, a former labor minister, a former section chief under the army
More than 5,000 people are thought to be in Iran jails as a result of the revolutionary purge, many apparently awaiting trials before the revolutionary junta.
Pope affirms priestly celibacy
VATICAN CITY—Pope John Paul II yesterday upheld mediate celiacy for Roman Catholic priests, taking a tough stance against those seeking
The pope issued the reaffirmation of the 1,500-year-old ban on priests marriage in a pastoral letter to all priests of the church and in a separate letter to bishops.
"Since the priesthood is given to us so that we can unceasingly serve others after the example of Christ the Lord, the priesthood cannot be renounced because of the difficulties that we meet and the sacrifices asked of us," he wrote.
The pope issued the letters for the Holy Thursday celebration this week.
Amin troops attempt invasion
NAIROBI, Kenya—Ugandan troops loyal to Idi Amin took new positions east of Kampala after Tanzanian forces showed a last-ditch Ugandan victory.
Exile tests said Ugandan reinforcements launched an assault against the invaders during the weekend on the road to the Entebbe airport.
Amin is reported to be set up new headquarters at Jinja, 50 miles east of Kampala, the capital, and he is said to have made several forays into the city.
Meanwhile, sources said Amin's government announced the execution of four "foreign mercenaries." The victims were thought to have been two West German and two Swedish journalists who tried to enter Uganda by boat across Lake Victoria.
One refuge from the fighting, John Payne, a British civil engineer, said he expected Amni to make a last stand at Nijia in the next five days. But, he said.
10.000 reported slain in Chad
PARIS-Marauding tribal gangs in south Chad, inided in some cases by mutinous troops and police, have killed at least 10,000 people in the last month according to reports reaching Paris yesterday from missionaries in the capital of N'Djamena.
Reports from Jesuit missions said 9,000 to 10,000 people—mostly Moslems—were murdered in the first two weeks of March.
Sources at the missionary headquarters in N'Djamaa took the tribal and religious slaughter on Friday after several weeks of calm.
The religious violence follows civil war in Chad between forces loyal to former President Felix Malloum and various Moslem factions.
Malloum, a southern Christian, was replaced by Gookouri Ouedddei, tribal chief of the street Islamic Tribe on northern Chad.
Nuclear plant not tornado-proof
OKLAHOMA CITY — The storage vault of the Kerr-Meck Gnee plant was not designed to withstand a tornado, the plant's first manager testified
Bill Utage, one of the engineers who designed the plant and its first manager, testified for the defense in the $1.15 million plutonium contamination trial of
Utage said the plant would be able to withstand strong winds, but not a direct hit by a tornado.
Plaintiff's witnesses testified that the allotted time during a tornado alert was not enough to store all the plant's radioactive material in the vault.
Silkwel's survivors brought the negligence suit against Kerr-McGee in connection with her contamination by plutonium.
Kahn lists guideline alternatives
WASHINGTON—If President Carter's voluntary anti-inflation efforts fail, it could lead to mandatory control or a recession, Carter's chief inflation fighter
Alfred F. Kahn, chairman of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, told labor leaders at an ALI-CIO rally that the alternatives to Carter's wage and benefit plan are "not a good idea."
But, he added. "An honest person has to admit that if this voluntary program doesn't work, we may get one or another of those alternatives, whether we like it."
License law could save money
TOPEKA-Legislation signed into law Friday by Gov. John Carlin that would require color photographs on Kansas driver's licenses is expected to save the state about $60,000 annually in administrative expenses, a state official said yesterday.
John Bottenberg, director of the state motor vehicle division, said the savings would result from a reduction in paperwork required when people applied by car companies.
The new law goes into effect July 1.
