Trident 2 missile destroyed after in-flight malfunction
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The Navy's new Trident 2 submarine missile suffered its first failure in nine test launches yesterday when it developed a problem in flight and was destroyed deliberately by a radio signal.
The 44-foot, three-stage missile,
carrying a dummy warhead, blazed
away from a land launch pad at 5:08
a.m. and appeared to observers to be
flying well before it disappeared
Economists predict sluggish growth
from sight. But nearly an hour later, the Navy reported that a malfunction had occurred 2 minutes 43 seconds after liftoff, near the end of powered flight.
WASHINGTON — The United States will get through this presidential election year with sluggish growth but no recession, a group of top economists told a congressional committee yesterday.
When radio data showed the Trident 2 performing erratically, the range safety officer at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station sent a radio signal that detonated explosive charges in the vehicle. Wreckage of the $23.7 million missile plummed harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.
The analysts said economic growth would be slower because of the record 508-point drop in stock prices
on Oct. 19, 1987. But they contended that an improving foreign trade deficit should be enough to keep the currency from the 1981-82 recession alive.
The economists presented their views before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress as it began hearings on the economy's prospects.
Airlines warned to match pilots
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration called on airlines yesterday to avoid teaming inexperienced pilots in the cockpit, citing concern about the experience level of the pilots in the crash of a Continental Airlines jet in November.
The agency also announced tighter restrictions on aircraft maintenance and released year-end statistics showing a 26-percent increase in the number of near-collision reports, 1,056 compared with 840 the previous year. filed by pilots during 1987.
About four of every 10 reported incidents, 451 during the year, involved at least one commercial aircraft, an increase of 40 percent from the year earlier, according to FAA figures.
Of about 900 incidents investigated, 18 percent were found to have been "critical," with the aircraft having flown within 100 feet of each other, FAA officials said.
FAA Administrator Allan McArtor discussed the issue of pilot experience, airline maintenance and the near-collision statistics.
Later, during a speech to the National Aviation Club, he said "we are witnessing a crisis in public confidence in flying" but maintained that the airways were "safe and healthy" despite some areas of concern.
McArtor told reporters that the FAA has asked the airlines "to stress the importance of not putting two pilots in the same cockpit if both have relatively little experience in the type of airplane they are flying."

A political solution to the troubles in the occupied territories is the only answer. Neither an increase in military pressure nor continued rioting will result in peace.
Israeli soldiers are in the West Bank and Gaza in 1988 because the Arab states attacked Israel in 1967 (and 1973). If there were peace, or something even considerably short of peace, there wouldn't be a single unwanted Israeli soldier in the West Bank. Israel is ruling over Arabs because, with the exception of Egypt, the Arabs have consistently refused to engage Israel in a political solution in the Palestinian problem.*

We mourn the loss of human lives in the occupied territories but believe they must be seen in the context of the continued threat which Israel faces from the Arab world. Our concerns about the actions of the Israeli government stem from an unshaken support for Israel's right to exist.
