U.S. warplane crashes, kills 6 in West Germany
The Associated Press
REMSCHEID, West Germany — A U.S. Air force warplane struck an apartment building and exploded in flames yesterday, killing six people, injuring dozens others and destroying homes for more than a block.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II jet, designed to support ground forces and fight tanks, was carrying 1,000 rounds of 30mm training ammunition when it crashed, said U.S. Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Neunehzer.
The U.S. Air Force suspended all tactical training flights in Europe
until early next week, a U.S. Air Force commander said.
Opposition political parties in West Germany called for a ban on low-level flights and for sharp cuts in U.S. air exercises.
Reagan affirms foreign policy
Between 40 to 50 people were injured, many of them seriously, said city spokesman Reinhard Fleischmann.
Witnesses said the plane flew low over a school and hit the top floor of an apartment building about 1:30 p.m. The fire then caught fire and burned.

WASHINGTON — President Reagan said last night that extraordinary things had happened in superpower relations in the last four years, but cautioned that the Soviets would retain superiority in conventional forces even after Mikhail Gorbachev's promised troop reduction.
He brushed aside PLO leader Yasser Arafat's apparent recognition of the state of Israel and said he thought it would take negotiations
with Iran to secure the release of U.S. hostages in Lebanon.
Reagan said Arafat did not make a clear-cut commitment to recognize the state of Israel despite a statement to that effect this week.
Asked if there was hope for the release of U.S. hostages held captive in Lebanon, Reagan said he thought eventually the United States would have to negotiate "with Iran because they have control of" the kidnappers.
BRENNAN HOSPITALIZED: Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan was hospitalized yesterday, suffering from pneumonia. Brennan, 82, was taken to the Bethesda Naval Medical Center in suburban Maryland in the early morning court session.

SARHAROV COMMENTS: Andrei Sakharov, wrapping up his first visit to the United States yesterday, said Mikhail Gorbachev's speech to the United Nations should strengthen the general secretary's position in the Soviet Union.
