FAA orders checks of older jumbo jets
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration, concerned about possible severe cracks in the frames of older Boeing 747s, has ordered airlines to closely inspect the fuselages of up to 160 of the jumbo jets, officials said yesterday.
The sources said the expulsions over the weekend were linked to the arrest last month of a retired French non-commissioned air force officer on charges of spying for the Soviet Union.
Spokesmen for several of the large airlines that have a large number of Boeing 747s said inspections already were under way and were not expected to disrupt normal air service.
The emergency FAA directive, which was sent during the weekend to all Boeing 747 operators, calls for Boeing jumbo jets with more than 14,000 landings to be inspected within 25 flights, and newer ones within 50 flights.
4 Soviets expelled
PARIS — The French government said yesterday it expelled four Soviet diplomats, and official sources identified them as members of Moscow's military intelligence organization, the GRU.
The ministry would not identify the four diplomats, but news reports said they were military and commercial attaches at the Soviet Embassy.
Engine plant burns
HARRISBURG, Pa. — An eight-alarm fire burned out of control late yesterday at a plant that makes jet engine parts, and residents were warned to stay indoors for fear the blaze would release toxic fumes, authorities said.
About 16,000 people living within two miles of the TRW plant were asked to keep windows and doors closed and to shut their ventilation systems as a precautionary measure, said police Lt. Carroll Wagner.
"An evacuation is now unlikely, although we're geared up for it, should it occur," said Mayor Stephen Reed.

On the day Challenger should have returned to earth, memorial services continued for the seven crew members of the space shuttle.
In Concord, N.H., Christa McAuliffe's family and friends mourned her death yesterday at a private memorial mass.
The somber service ended with a singing of "America the Beautiful."
Steven McAuliffe, 37, his children, Scott, 9, and Caroline, 6, and an estimated 500 invited guests and family members attended the service at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church.
McAuliffe's parents, Edward and Grace Corrigan of Framingham, Mass., also attended, along with

space teacher finalist Niki Wenger of Parkersburg, W. Va., and New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu.
The Rev. James Leary, who married Steven and Christa McAulife in 1970, celebrated the mass, said Dick Carozza, spokesman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of New Hampshire.
Black balloons and black ribbons along MeNair Boulevard — the main street for the 5,600 residents of Lake City — symbolized the community's grief.
St. Peter's, the McAuilliefs' parish church, was decorated with roses and carnations. Police cordoned off the street in front of the church and directed mourners to the rear door.
The shuttle was scheduled to touch down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida yesterday after what would have been six days in orbit.
The street had been named for McNair after his first shuttle flight in 1984 — a flight distinguished by his saxophone solo from orbit. On Sunday, a crowd of more than 1,000 overflowed the Wesley United Methodist Church for a religious memorial service.
At Concord High School, students returned to school yesterday for the first full day of classes since last Tuesday's explosion of Challenger.
Schools were closed in Lake City for the day, and school district officials announced they would be closed every Feb. 3 in McNair's honor.
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, recalled the last words from shuttle commander Dick Scobee — "Roger, go at throttle up" — before the Challenger exploded.
Election may affect Philippine bases
"These are far more than just their courageous epitaph," Glenn said at a memorial service at Firestone High School in Akron, Ohio, where Judith A Resnik was valedictorian in 1966.
"They are America's history and they are America's destiny, and they will turn tragedy into triumph once again," said Glenn, who put the U.S. manned space program in orbit in his Friendship 7 capsule in 1962.

MANILA, Philippines — The future of two key U.S. bases in the Philippines has become a primary issue between President Ferdinand Marcos and opposition candidate Corazon Aquino in their campaigns for Friday's election.
ine bases' payrolls and supply contracts pump about $300 million into the economy each year, in addition to the $180 million in U.S. military and economic aid provided in lieu of rent for use of the bases.
The United States has six installations in its former colony, but only two are regarded as critical to projecting U.S. military might in Asia and the Indian Ocean — the Subic Bay Naval Base and Clark Air Base.

"At the same time, however, I must state with candor that no sovereign nation should consent that a portion of its territory be a perpetual possession of a foreign power." Aquino said.
These are the largest U.S. overseas bases. Defense analysts think the bases cannot be duplicated in their entirety anywhere else.
bases. But despite the bases' apparent economic benefits to the cash-starved country, many Filipinos think that their presence reduces national sovereignty and provides a pretext for U.S. intervention.
Marcos repeatedly has said that he favored allowing the bases to remain after the treaty covering them expires in 1991, provided a future agreement spells out respective obligations. He says the bases act as a deterrent to regional conflict and offer a balance of power to the Soviet military presence at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam

PARIS — A bomb exploded on the fashionable Champs-Elysees avenue late yesterday, injuring seven people and shattering the windows of luxury boutiques.
Three of the victims — two men and a teenage girl — were hospitalized in serious condition, authorities said. The four others suffered minor burns.
A police spokesman said, "There was no doubt it was of criminal origin."
No one claimed responsibility for the blast.
The explosives went off at about
3:30 p.m. local time in front of a
ctothing store as crowds of early-evening window shoppers strolled in the chic area.
"I was in one of the shops when I heard the explosion," a young man said. "I ran out, and people were lying all over the ground. There was a lot of blood."
Policie said the bomb was placed in a garbage can outside the Galerie Claridge, a luxury clothing store along the Champs-Elysees, a boutique-lined boulevard popular with tourists.
The explosion comes less than two months after a Dec. 7 bombing of Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores that injured 39 people.
Haitian leader scoffs at possible elections

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — President Jean-Claude Duvalier, who has declared a state of siege to combat anti-government rioting, scaffed at the idea of elections yesterday, saying "I am president for life."

But the president, who inherited power from his father, Francois in 1971 scoffed at the suggestion and said he would continue working for the good of the Haitian people, according to state-owned Radio National.
Then he sped through the countryside in a motorcade of 30 jeeps, with sirens blaring.

"I am president for life. What elections are you talking about." Radio National quoted Duvalier as saving to a foreign journalist.
The $2\frac{1}{2}$-hour drive, with Michele Duvalier chaffeing her husband in a beige land cruiser, coincided with a statement by Secretary of State George Schaltz calling for democratic elections in the Carib-
The station also said the president dismissed with a smile the question of whether there was a coup d'etat Thursday, the day before the White House erroneously announced he had fled.
The guard was recalled to the plant yesterday after Gov. Rudy Perpich ordered an additional 300 guardsmen Sunday night into Austin to reinforce 500 already in the community. Perpick called in the guard to maintain peace Jan. 21, but ordered the troops to withdraw to a nearby armory last week.
The National Guard resumed patrolling the plant's main gate yesterday, allowing what company officials said was a full complement of employees to get to their jobs. The workforce included more than 400 permanent replacement workers and 350 union members. More than the expected 750 showed up for work.

Razor blades reportedly were found in two packages of hotdogs and there were reports of punched cans of Spam and chill. One man was injured after eating a Hormel-made hotdog when part of a razor blade stuck to the roof of his mouth last weekend. All the incidents have been in the Twin Cities area.
The strikers demonstrated yesterday outside the Mower County Law Enforcement Center where Ray Rogers, a union consultant, met with law officers. Rogers said the meeting was designed to find ways to conduct the strike peacefully.
He said as more guardsmen were called to Austin and more and more strikers turned out, "eventually someone will get hurt. We don't want that."
State officials found evidence of tampering of Hornet products in six stores in the Twin Cities area. State and federal agriculture officials were scheduled to meet yesterday to determine whether the tampering was related to the five-month strike.
