Bombs force New Yorkers out
From Our Wire Services
NEW YORK—Tens of thousands of persons were evacuated from the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building and a third Manhattan skyscraper after terrorist bombs exploded in two other buildings, killing one person and injuring seven others.
The Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN claimed responsibility for the blasts at the Mobil Oil Co. headquarters building and a building where the U.S. Defense Department said it wanted to dramatize demands for the island territory's independence.
In telephone calls and notes to police and news organizations, FALN representatives said they had planted bombs in as many as 12 buildings. They also inspected the buildings, but found no other bombs.
About 35,000 persons who work at the World Trade Center, the largest office complex in the world, were evacuated after the FALN warnings were received. Four
commodity exchange markets there halted futures trading while the 110-story twin

I. L. Col. Harold Trimble, chief of security at United Nations headquarters, said the U.N. building was closed to the general public about two hours after the second bombing because of what he called "threats of terrorist action." He refused to elaborate.
Estimates of the economic loss resulting from interruptions of services throughout the city ran as high as $5 million. The Long Island Rail Road began rush-hour service in mid-afterternoon to haul workers forced from their offices.
The effects of the bombings also were felt

All the windows in the offices were blown out.
Friends fled after federal agents found a suspicious-looking handbag on a window sill in the corridor. An agent opened it up, saw in the corridor, and flamed it shut and yelled, "Get back!"
"In a matter of seconds it exploded," Sgt. Barry Williams said.
"We were very, very lucky on this one," Williams said. "If he hadn't woken when he entered the room, I wouldn't have done it."
Williams said that about 15 employees were in the office at the time.
The mid-morning blast at a field office of the Secretary of Defense Security Division caused light to medium property damage, police said.
Charles Steinberg was killed and seven other persons were injured in the second explosion, about an hour later, at the Mobil building.
A Pentagon spokesman in Washington said the 21st-floor offices were staffed by investigators who make background and security clearance checks.
In 1975, a FALN communique said a bombing at historic Frances Tavern, which claimed four lives, was also in the name of Puerto Rican independence. The last previous act of terrorism attributed to FALN involved three fire bombings in April at midtown department stores. There were no injuries in that series of explosions.
CIA to seek subjects of secret drug tests
WASHINGTON (AP)—The CIA will attempt to locate and notify individuals who secretly were given drugs or were the subjects of other mind-controlled experiments sponsored by the agency more years ago, its director testified yesterday.
CIA Director Stansfield Turner told a joint hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Health subcommittee that he had no idea how many individuals, some without their knowledge, were involved in the testing.
More than 80 institutions, including 44 colleges or universities, and 185 nongovernment researchers were used in the tests. Many were not aware that the CIA was supplying the funding through intermediary foundations, Turner said.
Turner said that no names of individuals who may have received drugs unwittingly were in CIA records, but that "we are working to determine if there are adequate resources for such cases, and if so, how to go about fulfilling the government's responsibilities in the matter."
TURNER TOLD THE SENATORS he would not release the names of institutions and researchers who did the testing, but said under questioning that perhaps some way could be found of notifying them whether their naries should be made public.
New information about the program, which Turner said he found totally abhorrent, came with the discovery of seven boxes of documents some 8,000 pages in
He said that the project, known as MK-ULTRA, was ended 12 years ago after continuing for nearly two decades and that it would be a great step forward in writing or unwitting testing of drugs today."

Turner said the research project started as a defensive measure out of "concern for our being taken advantage of by other powers using drugs against our personnel." He added that the project turned in character from a defensive to an offensive one as it went along.
He said there was no evidence in CIA files that either the President or Congress was to blame.
The projects, he said, included research on hypnosis and drugs in combination, sleep research and behavioral changes during pregnancy, studies and aspects of the magician's art.
Asked what was involved in the magician's art study, Turner responded: "How to slip the Mickey into the Finn," by distracting attention.

Kansas fugitive killed carrying deceptive ID
LEAENVORTH (AP)—An inmate who escaped from the federal penitentiary was killed in a police shootout in Hampton, Va. A man was shot and wounded by police to believe he was someone else.
Thomas Richard Coombs, 34, was carrying the identification of a Columbus, Ohio, man when he exchanged gunfire with police Monday. An officer survived because of a bulletproof vest, but Coombs was killed. He was also driving a 25-year sentence for bank robbery.
The victim was first identified as Wade Marbaugh, 26, of Columbus. Marbaugh said he had been in a car accident.
Meanwhile, his parents were notified he had been killed.
He found out about the bizarre mixup through a friend and called his parents,Mr. and Mrs. Roland Marbaugh, of Wilshire, who were making his funeral arrangements.
She said she couldn't believe the call from the police that her son had been killed.
Authorities said Coombs moved Marbaugh's identification papers and matched a description on the driver's license. He was identified by the FBI by his fingerprints.
