Nation/World University Daily Kansan / Thursday, April 12, 1990 7 Danish ship investigated The Associated Press COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Fire doors malfunctioned and ventilation ducts were left open to fan the flames of the deadly fire that gutted the ferry Scandinavian Star, a fire inspector said at a hearing yesterday. But the captain of the Danish ship said that all the fire equipment and safety procedures worked and that the crew had followed all instructions. Captain Hugo Larsen of Norway said he was awakened by a ship's officer at 1:55 a.m. Saturday and was told, "Someone is playing arsonist," as the first of three fires was discovered. In Oslo, Norway, police reduced the number of dead and missing to 168 as more missing passengers reported to police. At least one U.S. citizen was among the dead. Officials in Sweden, where the ship was towed, said they had recovered 127 bodies. About 500 people were on board the ship in the North Sea. The fire broke out when the 10,500-ton Star was midway on an overnight trip from Oslo to Fredrickshaven, Denmark. Arson was the probable cause, but no motive has been found, said Oslo police chief Magnar Aukrust. Study shows business growth The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The nation's businesses, shrugging off economists' gloomy recession predictions, significantly have increased their plans for modernization and expansion this year, the government reported yesterday. Commerce Department officials said that a survey completed in March found businesses planning a record $503.4 billion in plant and equipment spending in 1990, up 7.6 percent from last year. Businesses had projected a much less optimistic 4.9 percent rise in an earlier survey released in December, when many analysts estimated the imminent end of the economy's seven-year expansion. "The significance of this is it's one more piece of evidence we're not going into a recession," said economist Gordon Richards of the National Association of Manufacturers. Economist Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley & Co. said, "Despite all the stories of gloom and doom you read, this shows that businesses are not as shortsighted as many say." Mother Teresa resigns post as head of order The Associated Press CALCUTTA, India — Mother Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun who Peace Prize for her work among the sick and dying, said yesterday that she was stepping down as head of the religious order she founded in 1950.
