Air Force lifts Martin's body from slope
United Press International
MARCH AIR FLOOR BASE, Calif.
— The remains of Dean Paul Martin,
son of singer Dean Martin, were to be
airlifted yesterday from the rugged
mountain slope where his fighter jet
was during the weekend, authorities said.
Martin, a captain in the California Air National Guard, and his weapons officer, Capt. Ramon Ortiz, 39, of Las Vegas, were killed in the crash Saturday during a snowstorm minutes after they took off on a routine training mission.
A team of Air Force experts arrived at the scene yesterday morning and began an investigation of the accident. Mensik said.
Moments before the crash, Martin's plane received instructions from air traffic controllers at Ontario International Airport to alter their course to avoid the high peak, officials said.
The jet was flying at an estimated 500 mph when it vanished from radar screens.
The families of both men received official notice of their deaths Wednesday.
Martin, the eldest son of singer Dean Martin and his former wife, Jeanne, became an Air Guard pilot in 1981.
Dean Paul Martin appeared in such films as "Players" and "Heart Like a Wheel" and starred in the 1985-86 television series "Misfits of Science." He finished a pilot film last for another series, "A Single Man."
As a teen-ager, Martin formed a rock group called Dino, Desi and Billy with his high school pal, Desi Arnaz Jr., and a neighbor.

Hayden announces fight on drug abuse
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden yesterday announced a program to fight abuse in Kansas that included a plan to coordinate drug testing of athletes at state universities.

"We have an obligation to our college students, their families and university supporters to assure them a drug-free learning environment and athletic program at our state universities," he said in a prepared statement to the Legislature.
Staff writer
Hayden is seeking legislative approval to spend $5 million in federal funds during the next two years for his programs in drug treatment, law enforcement and drug education. He called the plans the most extensive effort to fight drugs in the state's history.
Hayden, members of his cabinet and his office staff will be tested for drugs periodically as part of the program. He also wants to develop a drug testing program for law enforcement officials and other state employees whose work affects public safety.
But the programs will be geared toward rehabilitation, he said, and he wants the state to continue the program if federal funds dry up.
Gary Hunter, KU assistant athletic director, said the University already incorporated successful parts of drug-abuse programs at other schools into its own four-year-old program.
David Waxman, director of health care resources at the University of Kansas, will head a
committee to create consistent drug-abuse prevention programs at all state Board of Regents institutions. The programs will involve drug education and testing for athletes.
"We think that it has been a success and we hope to improve on it," he said.
"We hope to establish a uniform, constitutional drug testing program by the fall semester 87." Haveden said at a press conference
Hunter said that although some athletes resented the inconvenience of drug testing, they supported education and were helped by the program.
"Any time you can expose your student athletes to the dangers of drug abuse, they're a better person for it," he said.
The University plans to improve drug education programs for athletes, he said, and Hayden's effort would help if it was done well.
Hayden said that some state universities had successful programs, but that others were loosely knit. The successful programs could be a model for the state, he said, but he wouldn't identify those programs.
