Owens # 'Bright Star' exercises to show U.S. commitment LA Times-Washington Post Service WASHINGTON - The United States plans to land Marines from amphibious assault ships at Oman and Somalia and drop 82nd Airborne paratroopers over western Egypt next month in the most dramatic demonstration to date of America's ability to aid its friends in the region, officials said Monday. To underscore the emerging alliance, and as a reaction to pressures from Libya, the plan calls for Egyptian and, tentatively, Sudanese troops to join the maneuvers in Egypt's western desert abutting Libya. The exercise, called "Bright Star," would be much larger than last year's 10-day exercise around Cairo, which involved only U.S. and Egyptian troops. This one is tentatively expected to last from Nov. 9 to Dec. 6 and involve U.S. ground, air and naval forces in exercises over thousands of miles. "The idea is to assure countries over there that we could come to their aid in a hurry," said one official, acknowledging that fears about Libya's stepping up military activity in Chad and Sudan added a sense of urgency to this second "Bright Star" exercise. Owens 10/13/81 Jeffrey ## Contacts My UFOs have instructed me to notify you that they are going to attack these "Bright Star" Exercises (see clipping above) in order to wreck and/or damage the Exercises in order to show other countries that the U.S. cannot protect them! Since the Base has not yet been provided my UFOs assume that another large-scale demonstration is necessary. In "Bright Star" planes and helicopters should have accidents; U.S. personnel should make wrong decisions and errors leading to materiel and personnel accidents.

He was 66. Dayan as foreign minister was a key figure in molding the historic Egyptian-Israeli peace accords with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and died 10 days after Sadat was assassinated by Moslem extremists while watching a military parade in Cairo, Egypt. Dayan, treated for cancer two years ago, was admitted to Sheba Hospital in suburban Tel Hashomer Thursday complaining of chest pains. Government spokesman Uri Porat said Dayan had suffered a heart attack. Egypt's minister of state for foreign affairs, Butros Ghali, said in Cairo that Dayan "played a main role" in the peace negotiations, and added, "He was among the Israeli politicians who believed in the possibility of achieving a peaceful coexistence and peace between the Palestinians and Israel." Before becoming a peacemaker, Dayan was a soldier -- a bold battalion commander in the 1948 war for independence, chief of staff in the 1956 Sinai campaign and defense minister in the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars. He once described himself as a man who reacts to changes and sometimes helps "create them." That occurred in 1979 when then-President Carter flew to Israel in a last-ditch attempt to win the Egyptian-Israeli agreement. Dayan suggested concessions that included an accelerated withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Sinai, seized by his soldiers in the 1967 Six-Day War, and the peace talks surged forward. Carter's office in Plains, Ga., issued a statement saying Dayan's "dedication and tireless effort at Camp David helped to bring about a blueprint for peace between Egypt and Israel and all their neighbors. We will miss this great statesman and courageous leader." In Washington, President Reagan said Dayan "became to many the symbol of Israeli resolve -- the resolve of a great people to be free and independent -- and a resolve shared by the people of the United States." Dayan's stepdaughter, Nurit Hermon, said Dayan died at 8:30 p.m., shortly after Israelis began observing the Jewish sabbath. Israel television interrupted its regular program to announce the death, but there were no public displays of mourning, and Tel Aviv's streets were virtually deserted because most Jews were celebrating the sabbath in temples or their homes. The television broadcast gave the time of death as 8:15 p.m. It said Dayan's condition deteriorated sharply in the afternoon when his blood pressure dropped and breathing difficulties developed. The hospital's heart unit "improved his condition, but it remained unstable," according to a medical bulletin read over television. "In the early hours of the evening, a further deterioration occurred in his general condition. Various treatments were of no avail, and Knesset (Parliament) member Moshe Dayan died this evening at 8:15." Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered a state funeral to be held Sunday. Dayan's close associates said burial would be in Nahalal, a farm settlement 10 miles west of Nazareth where Dayan grew up. They said he would be buried in the family plot next to the graves of his parents, who were immigrants from Russia, and his brother Zorik, who was killed fighting in the 1948 war. Dayan's first ministerial posts were in the former Labor Party government, but he was foreign minister in Begin's conservative Cabinet from 1977 to 1979, when he resigned and became an independent. Shimon Peres, chairman of the Labor Party, said Dayan was "a great Jew, a brave fighter and an original statesman" who "astounded the whole world with his extraordinary capabilities." Dayan underwent surgery for cancer of the colon in June 1979 and later wrote movingly of his successful battle against the disease. He was among the first of Israel's native-born Sabra generation to win high office, moving up through the military ranks. He was appointed military chief of staff in 1954 and directed the army's 100-hour smash across the Sinai Desert to the Suez Canal in 1956. Dayan, who wore the eyepatch after his left eye was shattered by a bullet in World War II, won more glory as defense minister in the 1967 war but was widely blamed for Israeli shortcomings in the 1973 war. He was forced out of office when the late Prime Minister Golda Meir resigned in April 1974, but he made a comeback after Begin's conservative Likud bloc invited him to serve as foreign minister three years later. State television said Dayan's second wife, Rachel, 55, and daughter, Yael, were at his bedside. Dayan is survived also by his first wife, Ruth, whom he divorced in 1971, and two sons, Assaf, a movie actor, and Ehud, a farmer.

By ARNOLD H. LUBASCH -- New York Times News Service NEW YORK -- The Rev. Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church, was indicted Thursday in Manhattan on charges that he had filed false tax returns omitting more than $150,000 of his income in a three-year period. According to the indictment, Moon deposited $1.6 million in New York bank accounts in his own name, used the money for his own purposes and failed to report almost all of the interest, amounting to more than $100,000, from 1973 through 1975. It also said he had failed to report $50,000 in securities that he had received in 1973. The 12-count federal indictment also charged one of his top aides, Takeru Kamiyama, with assisting him and with committing perjury and obstructing the investigation. A church spokesman and lawyers for both defendants issued statements denying all the charges. If convicted, Moon and his aide could each face up to five years in prison for conspiracy. Each tax count also carries a maximum sentence of three years, and the obstruction and perjury charges carry five years each. SUN MYUNG MOON === Page 8 of 64 - 2/10 attack "higher ups" - Military officer fired from council after speech BY MICHAEL PUTZEL org 10/21/81 WASHINGTON (AP) - The top military officer on the National Security Council staff was relieved of his duties and ordered back to the Army Tuesday after saying in a speech that the Soviets have nuclear superiority and "are going to strike." A senior White House official said Maj. Gen. Robert L. Schweitzer was fired because he disobeyed a rule that requires all members of the National Security Council staff to clear their public remarks with Richard V. Allen, the staff director and President Reagan's national security adviser. In his speech, Schweitzer said, "If I had ever asked to get this speech cleared at the White House, I wouldn't have gotten it cleared. I told them what they was going to do, and they just said they hoped I wouldn't get them in trouble." "It is also clear that the speech does not reflect the president's thinking with regard to the state of world affairs," said the White House official, who asked not to be named. The aide said Schweitzer concurred in the action, taken by Allen at 7:15 a.m. EDT Tuesday after publication of an article about the speech in The Washington Post. "He thought it would be best to return to his normal duties in order to spare the administration any embarrassment because of his unauthorized remarks," the official said. Although the general caught White House officials by surprise, Schweitzer said in his speech Monday to the Association of the United States Army that his remarks had not been cleared and might get him in trouble. "Well, I think we are going to have to lay out the threat because the threat is believed not to exist," he said in the apparently extemporaneous talk. Allen said Schweitzer told him when the general was called on the carpet Tuesday morning that "he went further than he meant to" and was "abjectly sorry for having undertaken to make the speech and was also sorry about the content." Chief White House spokesman David R. Gergen said Schweitzer apparently understood his remarks were to be off the record and that no reporters would be present. "He thought he was among - quote - his 'Army buddies,'" Gergen said, although he acknowledged that did not mitigate the general's offense. Gergen did not say what Schweitzer's new assignment will be. There was no mention at Gergen's briefing of any possible loss of rank. Reagan himself said he did not agree with the general but regarded him as "a fine soldier" whose services in another post will continue to "be of great benefit to the country." Schweitzer is a highly decorated officer who served as deputy commander of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam in 1970 and later commanded the famed regiment in Europe after the war. He wears the Distinguished Service Cross, the military's second highest award for valor, three Silver Stars, and the Purple Heart with six oak leaf clusters, indicating he was wounded in battle seven times. Schweitzer, 53, joined the National Security Council staff in 1979 and earned a reputation among his colleagues as a "hard liner," even among the generally hard-line Reagan strategists. When Reagan became president, Allen named him director of defense policy. Asked during a brief photo session whether he had known of Allen's action in advance, Reagan said he did not and had been unaware of any "personnel problems." Asked if he agreed with Schweitzer's public statement that there is "a drift toward war," the president said: "No . . . I think this country could have been on a road that might be described that way when we were unilaterally disarming and letting the margin of safety disappear, the window of vulnerability get wider. That's why we're following the course we're following now, so there can't be a drift toward war." ROBERT L.

KROESEN** HEIDELBERG, West Germany (UPI) -- Terrorists firing guns and anti-tank grenades Tuesday ambushed the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army in Europe as he rode to work, slightly wounding him and his wife. The rear of the automobile was badly damaged and police said the car's armor plating probably saved Gen. Frederick J. Kroesen, his wife and two other occupants from serious injury or death. It was the fourth terrorist attack on Americans in West Germany in two weeks and came two days after a violent anti-U.S. demonstration in West Berlin during a visit there by Secretary of State Alexander Haig. Kroesen, 58, told a news conference after he was treated at the U.S. Army hospital for skin abrasions that his car was attacked by an anti-tank grenade and firearms as he was going from his home to army headquarters in Heidelberg. He said his wife, who was in the car along with his aide and a German driver, was cut by glass splinters but was fine. "We were under small arms fire," Kroesen said, adding either rifles or pistols were used. "The rear of the car was hit by an anti-tank grenade." He said the car then sped away and that American military police in an escort vehicle jumped out with their weapons drawn. The general said he could not "hear very well" because of the blast. The terrorists attacked from woods about 150 to 200 yards from a road on the edge of Heidelberg as the automobile stopped for a traffic light near the Karl Bridge, police said. Witnesses said they heard two explosions and police said it was possible two anti-tank grenades were fired at the car. After the news conference at U.S. Army maneuver headquarters in Hanau, Kroesen flew by helicopter to the war games involving 71,000 Americans soldiers that began Monday. The terrorists escaped without a trace although police surrounded the area after the attack. There was no clue to their identity although the left-wing Baader-Meinhof gang's Red Army Faction was suspected since West German intelligence agencies have received reports the band was plotting attacks on high-ranking Americans during the annual 2-week fall maneuvers. "I dont know who was responsible," Kroesen said, but naming the Red Army Faction he added, "I do know there's a group that has declared war on us and I'm beginning to believe them." Anti-American sentiment has been growing in West Germany, spurred by concern the Reagan administration's tough military could lead to a war in Europe. Kroesen told reporters the maneuvers would go on as planned. He said he thought his own security precautions were adequate and additional ones are not needed. The Red Army Faction claimed responsibility for bombing the U.S. Air Forces European headquarters at Ramstein Air Base Aug. 31, injuring an American general and 14 others. A day later, arsonists set fire to seven cars at the U.S. military housing-area in Wiesbaden. On Sunday, the residence of the U.S. consul in Frankfurt was firebombed, but there were no injuries. Kroesen, of Phillipsburg, N.J., assumed command of the U.S. Army in Europe on May 29 1979. He entered the army during World War II after attending Rutgers University. He won his officers commission at the Infantry Officers Candidate School. West German officials expressed regret at the attack and pledged to find the terrorists and protect Americans. ORG J 9/15/81 - UFOs "higher ups" # Iranian aide killed in blast By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- An assassin posing as a questioner walked up to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's representative in the Iranian city of Tabriz on Friday and set off a grenade that killed himself, the official and six worshipers in the crowded square, Iran's state-run media reported. The blast, which Tehran radio said also wounded 12 worshipers, continued the 2½-month-old campaign of bombings and assassinations aimed at overthrowing Khomeini's Islamic fundamentalist regime. The government, also facing a rebellion by Kurds in the western provinces, announced that troops killed or wounded over 100 of them in a drive against the Kurds this week. Iran's official Pars news agency said the "terrorist was killed on the spot," while Khomeini aide Ayatollah Assadollah Madani was rushed to a hospital where he died in surgery. The news agency reported that the assassin, wearing a grenade around his waist, pretended that he wanted to ask a question and approached the 80-year-old Madani, the Friday prayer leader. "Suddenly the grenade exploded, severely wounding the Friday prayer leader and other worshipers," Pars said. Khomeini proclaimed the assassinated aide a martyr to his Islamic revolution and immediately appointed a replacement as his personal representative to Tabriz. ORG J 9/12/81 === Page 11 of 64 UFOs & "higher ups" # W. German terrorists attack U.S. Army's European chief HEIDELBERG, West Germany (AP) -- Terrorists hidden on a wooded hill fired Soviet-built grenades at a bulletproof car carrying the U.S. Army's European commander early Tuesday, smashing the rear window and causing slight cuts to the general and his wife, officials said. The attack against Gen. Frederick J. Kroesen Jr., 58, was the fourth on U.S. personnel in West Germany since the end of August, when the ultraleftist Red Army Faction proclaimed "war against imperialist war." Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger told a TV interviewer in Washington that the attack "had to be viewed very seriously indeed. It seems to be part of a worldwide attempt to discourage any kind of defense of freedom." Kroesen told reporters in Hanau: "I don't know who was responsible. But I know there was a group that declared war on us, and I'm beginning to believe them." Kroesen, a native of Phillipsburg, N.J., commands U.S. Army units as far away as Greece and Turkey in addition to about 200,000 troops stationed in West Germany. West German police said the attack took place at 7:18 a.m. as the general was riding to work in a metallic green, armored Mercedes along a suburban street near the Neckar River in the northeastern part of the city. The terrorists, firing from about 200 yards, hit the general's car as it was stopped for a traffic signal. Police said Kroesen's car was going about 40 mph, then stopped at a traffic light near the Army's European headquarters when the grenades hit the trunk of the car and exploded, causing heavy damage and peppering Kroesen and his wife, Rowene, with flying glass. "I was reading my morning message traffic in my notebook," Kroesen said. "There was an explosion behind me. The car stopped, and I looked to see if my wife was all right and waited to see what was going to happen next." After seeing no one was seriously injured, Kroesen said, the driver started the car and sped off in a shower of small-arms fire. FREDERICK J. KROESEN JR. Kroesen was driven to a U.S. Army hospital where he was treated for cuts in the neck and released. The general's adjutant, Maj. Phillip Bodine, and the driver escaped injury, an army spokesman said. In Karlsruhe, the West German prosecutor's office said the grenade was of Soviet origin. Police found a tent with sleeping bags, a radio with antenna and a shoulder-borne, Soviet-made grenade launcher in the woods about 200 yards from the scene of the attack, the prosecutor's office announced. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office said use of the grenade launcher added "a new quality" to West Germany's terrorist scene. He said German authorities assumed the attack was the work of the Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang. Plans for attacks on U.S. military installations were found last Oct. 13 in the apartment of a gang member, Julianne Plambeck, who was killed in a traffic accident near Heidelberg. In Bonn, the West German government condemned the attack and pledged to "do everything for the security of U.S. troops who are stationed for the defense of Western Europe." Chancellor Helmut Schmidt told Kroesen in a message, "All upstanding Germans condemn most sharply this terrorist attack." The attack came one day after the visit to West Germany of Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr., himself the target of an assassination attempt in Belgium two years ago. Haig, at the time NATO's supreme commander, escaped injury when a bomb exploded beneath his car near Casteau, Belgium. Commando Andreas Baader, a West German terrorist group named after the late Red Army Faction founder, claimed responsibility for the attempt on Haig's life. No arrests have been made in the case. Aug. 31 attackers set off bombs in the parking lot at the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force in Europe at Ramstein, not far from Heidelberg, injuring 18 Americans and two West Germans.

SF Chron. 9/10/81 Associated Press === Page 12 of 64 M's husband at eye of storm oreg 9/18/81 LONDON (AP) -- Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's husband, Denis, came under fire Thursday for a letter he wrote on stationery from her official residence urging a Cabinet minister to authorize real estate development on a protected site in Wales. The London Times reproduced the letter on its front page and reported an official investigation probably would be launched into Denis Thatcher's "involvement in a controversial housing development." Officials of the Welsh Office, a government department in Cardiff, confirmed that the letter was missing from their files and appeared to have been taken from a mail trolley in the building. The letter on notepaper from 10 Downing Street, the prime minister's official residence, was sent to Nicholas Edwards, Secretary of State for Wales. A spokesman for the prime minister said Denis Thatcher had a right to use the stationery because he lives at the same residence as the prime minister. Thatcher holds no government post. He identified himself in the letter as a consultant to Housing Development and Construction Ltd. The company was denied permission by local authorities to build a motel and 63 houses in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. Thatcher's letter, which complained about an 11-month government delay in setting up an appeal, was addressed "Dear Nick," and signed "Yours, Denis." A note on the bottom bearing Edwards' signature advised his staff to look into the matter. President of Roman fires three top officials BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) -- President Nicolae Ceausescu fired three top government officials Saturday in a Cabinet shuffle reflecting concern over the communist country's continuing food shortages and ideological problems. The official Agerpres news agency said Angelo Miculescu was dropped as minister of agriculture and the food industry; Iosif Banc was fired as chairman of the central council of workers' control on economic and social activity; and Alexandru Ionescu was ousted as chief of the radio and television company. Last winter, Ceausescu announced an "agricultural revolution" intended to ease consumer woes, but meat, cheese, butter, sugar and other food items have been as scarce as ever. Dissatisfied with the agricultural performance, Ceausescu in a speech last week called on officials to change their "mentality from top to bottom" and demanded that they go out and work with farmers in the fields. "Even the deputy minister, the minister, the president of the academy of agriculture should put on their overalls, go out and work shoulder on shoulder with the farm workers," he said. No figures have been made public yet on this year's grain output, but it is said to be below the 23.7 million-ton production target. As in past years, reports in the official press again blamed delays in harvesting on poor labor organization, lack of spare parts, transportation problems and negligence. The state-run news media were criticized last summer for their apparent failure to discourage young Romanians from defecting to the West. There were also official complaints that the media were "not doing enough" to fight "retrograde, mystical conceptions, backward influences and mentalities inherited from the old (pre-communist) society or coming from the capitalist world in various forms." Romanian television had been broadcasting movies from Western countries two or three times a week, including the "Dallas" series, among other things. Agerpres said Miculescu will be replaced by Ion Matesu, a state secretary in the agriculture ministry; Banc will be replaced by Marin Enache, who was not identified further, and Ionescu by Ilie Radulescu, a Communist Party secretary in charge of ideology. oreg 9/20/81 UFOs "higher ups" Civilian in charge RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- The military regime agreed Monday to accept civilian Vice President Aureliano Chaves as a "temporary substitute" for President Joao Figueiredo, who suffered a heart attack last week, the government announced.

The economic program having turned on them, administration officials now are emphasizing foreign policy. The problem is, mother isn't having any part of it. The most publicized element of the foreign program has been the proposed sale of five Airborne Warning Control System planes to Saudi Arabia. There is something pathetic about the administration's effort to out-lobby the Israeli lobby. It flies an AWACS plane to Andrews Air Force Base and invites senators and representatives out to kick the tires, sit in the pilot's seat and stare at radar displays. That tells you that when Congress votes $188 billion for defense, it doesn't know much about what it is buying. The Pentagon, having spent a decade getting Congress to fund AWACS by telling them how great it is, now tells them about all its limitations and weaknesses in order to convince them it is OK to sell a few to the Arabs. While AWACS and the meeting between Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. were getting the foreign policy headlines, the House of Representatives has been busy scuttling Haig and the whole State Department. Don't blame this one on the Democrats; the Republicans did it. Sept. 17, the House considered the bill to authorize funds for the State Department, the International Communication Agency, the Board for International Broadcasting and the Inter-American Foundation for the next two years. It authorized $3.1 billion for fiscal 1982, $3.7 billion for 1983. Only one hour was allotted for debating the bill generally and, during that hour, not one person spoke against it. The bill was being handled by Rep Dante Fascell, D-Fla., a wise, popular and salty senior member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The members of that committee, Democrats and Republicans, overwhelmingly supported the bill. Fascell was eloquent in presenting it: "We have had people brutalized, terrorized, killed. We have had our embassies burned, attacked. We have had hostages taken. . . . Our people who are doing this service on behalf of our country are in the frontlines." He pointed out that our State Department is the only one in our government which has been shrinking. It is the same size it was in 1959, and the bill being considered cut it by 550 more people. He said the Russians were outspending us "unbelievably" on exchange programs, cultural programs, scholarship and educational grants. He backed it up with statistics. He said he was presenting a "tough, barebones budget" and asked the House to support it. Republican Toby Roth of Wisconsin joined in: "We can have all the weapons and military hardware in the world, but nothing can compare to what people think, and we are not doing enough in that area." Rep. William Broomfield of Michigan, senior Republican on the committee, said, "We must not jeopardize our ability to protect the national security by providing only insufficient resources." When the members of the Foreign Affairs Committee got through defending and praising the bill, and the full House started voting on it, they murdered it. By an unrecorded vote of 42-18, the committee cut half a billion dollars from the authorization for 1983. Then, by a record vote of 226-165, the House killed the whole thing. There were politics and gamesmanship involved. Democrats who normally vote for such things wanted to make the Republicans vote for it. It was, after all, the president's bill. It was to support Haig and his State Department. Only 40 Republicans voted "aye," while 131 voted "no." Democrats voted for it, but only 125-95. After the vote, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Clement Zablocki, D-Wis., needled, "If the Republican Party cannot and will not support its own president and secretary of State, how can we ask others to do so? . . . Maybe the minority party in the House has no confidence in the ability of the president or the secretary of State to carry out the foreign policy of the country." Republican Edward Derwinski of Illinois said, "We should understand that if we do not have a functioning government, we then have anarchy." Fascell asked that all members of the House be allowed five more days to explain their views in the Congressional Record, "and in that way they can vent their spleen on whomever they want." Analysis "UFOs" "higher ups" Belgian chief quits over split BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- Premier Mark Eyskens submitted his government's resignation to King Baudouin Monday after the center-left coalition broke over aid to the steel industry. A brief statement from the royal palace said, "The king has accepted this resignation." It also said the king asked Eyskens, a Dutch-speaking Christian Democrat, to stay on as caretaker premier. The Eyskens government -- Belgium's 31st since World War II -- is made up of Christian Democrats and Socialists divided into Dutch- and French-speaking factions. Eyskens' 5½ months in office were marked by continuous disagreements within the Cabinet over mostly economic issues. Last Friday, Eyskens' French-speaking Socialist partners began boycotting Cabinet meetings when negotiations broke down over financial guarantees for the steel giant Cockerill-Sambre in Wallonia, Belgium's French-speaking southern half. Cockerill-Sambre said it needs at least $775 million in aid during the next four years. The government rejected a demand by banks that it guarantee the entire aid package and that angered the French-speaking Socialists who are strong in the the mines and steel plants of Wallonia. oreg 9/22/81 -- UFOs "higher ups" -- Indian Scandal Figure Quits Bombay Maharashtra state Chief Minister A.

Associated Press === Page 14 of 64 PA said in aisarray after top aides resign By MORTON MINTZ LA Times-Washington Post Service WASHINGTON - The Environ- mental Protection Agency was shaken Friday when the second of two asso- ciate administrators quit the top-level posts created by EPA administrator Anne M. Gorsuch shortly after her appointment by President Reagan, Frank A. Shepherd, 35, who has been in the agency since late June, left, with a letter telling Ms. Gorsuch "that my talents could be better used in pri- vate enterprise." Nolan Clark resigned Wednesday over what he termed "irrec- oncilable differences of style between myself and the administrator." "It's putting it mildly to say the agency is in disarray," said an EPA offi- cial who asked not to be identified. Shepherd, inexperienced in environ- mental law when he left a Miami law firm to supervise a staff of more than 100 EPA lawyers, was associate ad- ministrator for legal counsel and en- forcement.

The biography, "The Years of Lyndon Johnson," was written by Robert A. Caro, who in 1975 won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of Robert Moses, a former New York city and state official who died earlier this year. The first of three volumes in Caro's biography of Johnson is to be published next year. Excerpts from it were published in the October issue of The Atlantic Monthly. Johnson, who died in 1973, was raised to power first in the House of Representatives and then ass U.S. senator from Texas by the emerging oil, 353. sulfur, defense and space industries of the Southwest, Caro says. "For years, men came into Lyndon Johnson's of- fice and handed him envelopes stuffed with cash," the Atlantic article says. "They didn't stop coming even when the office in which he sat was the office of the vice president of the United States. Fifty thousand dollars. in hundred-doi- lar bills in sealed envelopes, was what one lobbyist for one oil company testified that he brought to Johnson's office during his term as vice president." When Johsnon assumed the presidency in 1963, his aides were quoted as saying that estimates that put his wealth at $14 million were too high. "Privately, some now admit that it was far too low," Caro says. Although Johnson announced that he was putting all of his business affairs in a blind trust while he was president, he had private phone lines installed in the Oval Office to confer with Texas attorneys who ad- ministered the trust, the article says. "Johnson personally directed his business affairs, down to the most minute details, not infrequently working on those affairs, according to some of his attorneys, for several hours a day," Caro wrote. "In his direction of his business affairs, he did not hesitate to use the power of the presidency itself, and to use it with utter ruthlessness. And during his presi- dency, Lyndon Johnson piled atop the millions of dollars he had already made millions more," he said. orey 9/218, - "For "higherufes."- Gangland Struggle Feared Bridgeport, Conn.

The moderates have been urging Mrs. Thatcher to relent from her monetarist policies to ease the effects of Britain's worst economic slump since the Great Depression. They see an electoral threat from the newly formed middle-of-the-road Social Democratic Party at a time when Mrs. Thatcher's popularity has plummeted. Mrs. Thatcher dismissed Lord Soames -- the man who presided over the independence of Zimbabwe -- from his senior post as lord president of the council, leader of the House of Lords and civil service minister. She accepted the resignation of Deputy Foreign Secretary Sir Ian Gilmour, who also held the historic post of Lord Privy Seal, and dumped Education Secretary Mark Carlisle. Mrs. Thatcher announced a reshuffling of her Cabinet, moving another leading moderate, James Prior, from the Department of Employment to the Northern Ireland Office, where he replaces Humphrey Atkins. Atkins, like his predecessors in that job, failed to reconcile warring Roman Catholics and Protestants in the troubled province. He becomes Deputy Foreign Secretary. Also out was Lord Thorneycroft, 72-year-old chairman of the Conservative Party, an influential non-Cabinet post. He is replaced by Trade Minister Cecil Parkinson. Prior is succeeded by Norman Tebbit, previously a junior minister for industry and a zealous Thatcher supporter in the House of Commons. Prior's move to the Northern Ireland Office was "obviously a disappointment to him," a spokesman at his office said. Most prominent of the Cabinet moderates, he earned Mrs. Thatcher's disfavor by taking a cautious approach in seeking curbs on labor union power as demanded by Tory right-wingers. ## Brazilian chief hospitalized RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (UPI) -- President Gen.

The official news agency reported Tuesday that a ruling party official was assassinated in a grenade explosion. A grenade hurled by a member of Mojahiddeen Khalq guerrillas killed Hojjatoleslam Abdolkarim Hashemi-nejad in the northeastern city of Mashad, the Pars news agency reported. The agency said the assailant also was killed in the explosion and a security guard and a student were wounded. Pars said Hashemi-nejad was killed soon after he finished a lecture at 8 a.m. He became the 107th prominent victim of assassins since the downfall of President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr in June. Hashemi-nejad was secretary of the ruling Islamic Republican Party in Khorassan province and "one of the dedicated, committed clergymen of Mashad," the agency said. Reacting to Hashemi-nejad's death in a speech to clergymen broadcast by Radio Tehran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini said "If their aim is to undermine Islam, these assassinations revive Islam; if their goal is to destroy the Islamic republic, these assassinations irrigate the Islamic republic."

Authorities also said a plot was uncovered to kill the nation's chief justice and police chief. There was also a new round of street clashes in Tehran, and hit-and-run assassinations were reported in the provinces. The crash Tuesday night of a U.S.-made C-130 Hercules transport killed Defense Minister Musa Namju and three other military commanders returning from southwestern Iran's battlefront with Iraq, according to official communiques. The huge transport went down as it neared Tehran on a flight carrying an unspecified number of wounded troops and bodies of soldiers killed in the war with Iraq, the communiques said. Also killed were Maj. Gen Valeollah Fallahi, acting commander in chief of Iran's armed forces, former air force commander Javad Fakuri, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards' No. 2 man, Mohsen-Rahim Kolahdoz. Cause of the crash was under investigation. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in a speech of condolences, called on the country's 36 million citizens to defend Iran with "iron will and pride ... so that the blind-hearted people and the hypocrites and those who are in the West's embrace will know that the Iranian people and armed forces still live." While his reference was to the leftist Mujahedeen Khalq, he did not actually blame the group for engineering the crash. The Tehran newspaper Kayhan said the accident was due to "technical failure." In Paris, Mujahedeen leader-in-exile Massoud Rajavi suggested that Khomeini ordered the plane sabotaged, saying, "It is natural that Khomeini himself is a suspect in this because he hated officers like Fakuri." Rajavi said that after he and former President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr escaped to Paris aboard an Iranian air force plane, "Khomeini accused Fakuri of complicity and relieved him of his leadership responsibilities in the air force." Fakuri was defense minister during Bani-Sadr's presidency but was described by Iranian observers as neutral in Iran's power struggles. Khomeini earlier this month relieved him of the air force command and made him an adviser to the joint chiefs of staff, a demotion. Tehran radio said a mass funeral would be held Thursday in front of the military academy in the capital for the victims, whose number was not reported. The government announced Wednesday that guerrilla hideouts of the Mujahedeen Khalq, which mixes Islamic tenets with Marxism, and the Marxist Fedayeen Khalq were raided and documents showing a new assassination plot seized. The regime said the national police chief, Col. Ibrahim Hejazi, and the chief justice of the Islamic Supreme Court, Abdulkarim Ardabili, were the targets. Ardabili is a member of the Interim Presidency Council, which has governed Iran since President Mohammad Ali Rajai was assassinated in a bombing Aug. 30 along with the prime minister. Iranians are to vote Friday for a new president, the second since Bani-Sadr's ouster three months ago that incited Iran's underground opposition to street violence. By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Egyptian investigators believe President Anwar Sadat's assassination was masterminded by a Moslem fundamentalist colonel who deserted from a high-level military intelligence post, an Egyptian source said Saturday. The source, who has access to Egypt's top military commanders, also said the assassins apparently planned to kill all of Egypt's top leaders -- including Sadat's successor, President Hosni Mubarak -- but ran out of ammunition. # 7 known dead in military air crashes The unrelated crashes of two helicopters and a light plane killed at least seven U.S. servicemen, military officials say, including four in a fiery wreck in New Mexico. Two deaths occurred in the crash-landing of a twin-engine plane on military maneuvers in Nevada, and a Navy man was missing and presumed dead in the crash of a helicopter off Virginia Beach, Va. All the crashes were Tuesday. Air Force personnel were trying to determine why the Super Jolly Green Giant helicopter crashed and burned near Grant, N.M., killing four of six crew members. The HH-53 helicopter went down at about 8,200 feet some eight miles north of Mount Taylor, said Capt. Art Dunn of Kirkland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, N.M. The helicopter had been assigned to the 1550th Aircrew Training and Test Wing at Kirkland and was on a low-level training mission, he said. "It was a combat-type search and rescue mission, which requires them to fly about 50 feet above the ground." "The weather was good, but we had reports from a pilot in the area that there was a thunderstorm in the area," Dunn said. "Also, a 1550th member reported scattered showers." Two crew members were hospitalized in critical condition, Dunn said. The victims were identified by Dunn as Capt. J.P. Gant Jr., 31, of Meridian, Miss., the aircraft commander; 2nd Lt. Richard J. Wendin of Fairfield, Conn.; Sgt. Terry O. Chancey, 27, of Patterson, Ga.; and Sgt. Luis Caraballo of New York City. In Nevada, both Air Force officers aboard were killed in the military maneuvers at Tonopah Test Range. The plane crashed while trying to land at the Tonopah Municipal Airport, officials said. Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Mike Wallace said the plane was leased by the Department of Defense for joint Air Force, Marine and Army electronic warfare games. The Air Force identified the dead as Capt. Kenneth L. Hossler, 28, of New York City, and Lt. Jeffrey G. Snyder, 25, of Ann Arbor, Mich. Both were assigned to Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas. The plane carried electronic radar gear which Wallace said enabled it to identify aircraft. Military officials said the Navy helicopter crashed about a half-mile off Virginia Beach. Lt. Cmdr. Kenneth Wessel, 31, of Virginia Beach, was missing and presumed dead. Three other crewmen were rescued, the Navy said. The UH-1N Huey helicopter was on a training flight from the amphibious assault ship Inchon when it radioed a distress signal and went down, Navy spokesmen said. Witnesses said the helicopter appeared to be in a controlled ditch before hitting the water. Navy officials said the cause of the crash was under investigation and that an effort would be made to salvage the helicopter. # Poland's Kania pressured, resigns By MICHAEL DOBBS LA Times-Washington Post Service WARSAW -- Poland's Communist Party leader Stanislaw Kania resigned Sunday in the face of mounting criticism by political opponents of his inability to meet the challenge posed by the independent Solidarity trade union. === Page 17 of 64 - UFOs vs "higher ups" - # Crime drops after police told to shoot By LINDEL HUTSON Aug 10/20/81 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Most types of crime are on the decline in Terre Haute nearly a year after Police Chief Gerald P. Loudermilk announced a "shoot-to-kill" policy. But the chief said Monday he's not sure that policy had anything to do with it. "We'd like to hope so, but we don't know for sure," Loudermilk said in a telephone interview from the western Indiana city of 70,000. "Our crime is down and our arrests are up. "If I can keep it down, I'll come out with another statement like that." Last November, Loudermilk told his 100-plus police officers to shoot first and ask questions later if confronted by a gunman. Loudermilk said he got the feeling his officers were afraid to use their guns and wanted to let them know "they're going to have my backing." "If they get shot at," he said, "I want them to shoot back -- I don't care if the person is 8 or 80. The gun doesn't give a damn if the person pulling the trigger is 16 or 60." No officer so far has had to shoot to kill, he said, "thank God." Loudermilk says crime is down because "we've got a young department and they're working very hard." In the first three months of 1981, all crimes but murder and aggravated assault showed a drop. Rape fell from 16 in the first nine months of 1980 to 12 this year, robbery from 97 to 58, burglary from 1,290 to 1,133, theft from 1,718 to 1,626 and auto theft from 290 to 195. But murder is up 33 percent and aggravated assault 173 percent. There were three murders during the same period of 1980 compared with four this year, while aggravated assaults jumped from 34 to 93. Loudermilk thinks murder and assaults are up because "we're living in a crazy society." He elaborated: "They're shooting the pope leaders around the world. Who knows, maybe violence on television is leading to it. It's a silly society." - UFOs & Project - "higher ups" - SF Chron. 9/23/81 # Thunderbirds in Action Two planes of the Air Force Thunderbirds aerobatic team put on this display of unusual flying last month during an air show at Medford, Mass.

Army officials and Fort Lewis personnel who were involved in the war games kept quiet about the accident yesterday and refused to discuss what may have led to the crash. One Fort Lewis spokesman said the Department of Defense ordered that reporters not be allowed to speak with the 61 soldiers who were injured. Lt. Col. Fred Ussery, chief public information officer at the installation, said he did not believe it was "appropriate" to speak with the men so soon after the accident. The crash occurred during a training exercise near Indian Springs Air Force Base, 50 miles north of Las Vegas. The exercise, which began Sept. 11, was conducted on the same desert field where commandos trained for last year's botched attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran. Most of the dead and injured were members of the Army's 2nd Battalion, 75th Rangers, who are stationed at Fort Lewis. Army spokesmen refused to say whether the Rangers were part of the nation's "Rapid Deployment Force," but the Rangers are said to be an elite group of highly-trained combat soldiers. The only other Ranger battalion is stationed at Fort Georgia. Army spokesmen at Fort Lewis and the Pentagon yesterday said only that the training mission was both "routine" and "classified." The Army acknowledged, however, that its routine training exercises normally are not classified. Seven military investigators specializing in the C-130 were flown to the crash site and began working to determine the cause of the crash. Other investigators scoured the site yesterday in search of smoke flares, grenades and other explosives scattered on impact. ### Plane's background A U.S. Air Force spokeswoman from Military Airlift Command headquarters at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., said it probably would take four to six weeks to complete the inquiry. The Lockheed C-130 is a four-engine tactical troop, freight and special-purpose transport used by the military since 1954. It can carry up to 175,000 pounds on take-off, and is large enough to accommodate 92 troops, 64 paratroopers, or 74 stretcher patients. It was used in the aborted rescue attempt in Iran and in the 1976 Israeli commando raid that freed hijacked jet passengers in Entebbe, Uganda. In Nevada, meanwhile, residents living near the base reported that runway lights at the desert airfield were turned off before the crash, apparently as part of the training exercise. Army spokesmen refused to discuss the reports, but acknowledged that the transport plane was providing its own lighting when it attempted the landing. ### Names of dead Members of the 75th Rangers returned to Fort Lewis yesterday, including six of the nine soldiers who were hospitalized with their injuries. The dead were identified as Lt. Col. William E. Powell, 42, Annandale, Va., the commanding officer of the Fort Lewis Rangers; Capt. Gregory E. Gardner, 34, Huntsville, Ala.; Pvt. Kevin E.

Jimmie D. Bynum, 34, Waxahachie, Texas; and Chief Warrant Officer 3rd Class John Williams, 32, Yelm, Wash., an Army observer stationed with the 158th Battalion at Fort Campbell, Ky. Army officials have said the men were killed when they were trapped inside the plane, which exploded and burned on impact "We don't really know anything more than what was in the papers this morning," said Edward E. Powell, a retired Air Force colonel in Annandale and Lt. Col. Powell's father. ### 'I'm so numb' "Tonight on the television, they had pictures of the plane on the ground," he said. The C-130 burned for four hours and was reduced to smoldering rubble. Powell added that his son's body was being returned to Virginia and would be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. "They're having trouble making positive identification," he said. "He was on the plane. That's positive enough. "I'm so numb, nothing bothers me today." Hospitalized at Nevada military hospitals as a result of the crash were Sgt. Victor R. Frias; Spec. 4 Peter E. Posado; 1st Lt. Floyd N. Miles; Pfc. Anthony C. Corriea; Pfc. Jamie W. Swank; Pfc. Vito S. Salvato; Sgt. Robert Ramiez; Pvt. Craig Parrish; and Capt. Raymond Knox, the U.S. Air Force-Army liaison officer for the war games. Lt. Col. Ussery said ages and hometowns of the injured were not immediately available. Army medical spokesmen said none of the injured men was in critical condition. Col. William E. Powell, 42, the commanding officer of the Fort Lewis Rangers, was among the desert crash victims. # Arafat aide killed ROME (AP) -- A bomb exploded under the hotel bed of a leader in Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization early Friday, killing him instantly, police and firemen said. Police and the Rome office of the PLO identified the dead man as Majed Abu Sharar, a member of the Central Committee of Arafat's Fatah faction, the largest element of the multi-factioned PLO. They said Sharar also was spokesman for the Unified Information Center of all PLO guerrilla factions. The attack was claimed by "the General Command of al-Assifa forces" in anonymous phone calls to news agencies in Rome and Beirut. The callers said Sharar was killed because he had left the "proper course of the Palestine revolution and the armed struggle."

The crash Tuesday night at a firing range outside Tehran dealt a severe blow to Iran's military, but an armed forces spokesman reached by telephone by UPI from Beirut said sabotage was not suspected "at the moment." Tehran Radio, monitored by UPI in Ankara, Turkey, and by the BBC in London, said the U.S.-made C-130 transport went down as it was returning from Ahvaz, Iran, with the military commanders and soldiers killed and wounded in the war with Iraq. It said the defense minister, Brig. Gen. Seyed Musa Namju; Gen. Valiollah Fallahi, acting chief of staff of the joint command; Gen. Kolah Douz, acting commander of the revolutionary guard; and Gen. Javad Faouri, former defense minister and air force commander, were among "a number of passengers" killed in the crash. In a message to the nation on the deaths of his military commanders, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini said, "It is up to the Iranian nation to commemorate them by increasing efforts and bravery and continuing their path."

News of the deaths of Iran's top military leaders came as Iran's Revolutionary Guards foiled plans by leftist guerrillas to assassinate Iran's chief justice and the national police chief. The report, attributed by the radio to the guards, said the guerrillas were members of a female-led band of the Fedayeen Khalq, a leftist group that the Islamic regime labeled an "American grouplet." Forty-five members were arrested and printed material, arms and ammunition, bombs, machines for forging documents, forged bank notes and printing and duplicating machines were seized, the radio said. The report also said "documents had been discovered of plans to assassinate Ayatollah (Abdulkarim) Moussavi Ardabeli and the Iranian police chief." The former police chief was killed in the August assassination of the Iranian prime minister and president. Ardabeli, also called the prosecutor general, was named by Khomeini as one of the three members of the presidential committee that is filling in until the election Friday of a new president. The radio report said members of the group had killed eight Revolutionary Guards during bank robberies to finance their activities. The report came one day after another leader of Iran's Islamic regime was killed in a grenade attack attributed to an emerging guerrilla "suicide squad" willing to pursue martyrdom as fanatically as followers of Khomeini.

Associated Press === Page 20 of 64 Rumor suit threatened # Post's response fails to satisfy Carter oreg 10/15/81 By ANN BLACKMAN WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Post doused a "hot new twist" with ice water on Wednesday, saying the rumor it published nine days earlier about a pre-inaugural bugging of Ronald and Nancy Reagan was "utterly impossible to believe." But Jimmy Carter's attorney said the Post's latest statement, an editorial, hasn't dissuaded the former president from considering libel action against the newspaper. And Carter's former press secretary, Jody Powell, declared "This (editorial) says to me that 'we didn't believe it was true when we published it, that we don't believe it now, but we defend our right to publish it.'" Post publisher Donald E. Graham said: "The editorial speaks for itself. I have no further comment." The Post's chatty "Ear" column reported on Oct. 5 that there was "a hot new twist" to the story that Nancy Reagan wanted Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter to move out of the White House early so Mrs. Reagan could start redecorating. "They're saying," "Ear" reported, "that Blair House where Nancy was lodging ... was bugged. And at least one tattler in the Carter tribe has described listening in to the tape itself." Blair House, across the street from the White House, is the official government residence for important visitors. It normally houses foreign heads of state and others who would be upset at having the White House eavesdrop. The Carters' lawyer asked the Post last week for a retraction and public apology, and executive editor Benjamin Bradlee responded: "It will be perfectly obvious that there is no retraction in the paper." On its editorial page Wednesday, the Post said, "We weren't there. But everything we know about the presidency of Jimmy Carter suggests it was false." The Post said the point of the item was circulating and that it was "accurately reported." "It said there was a rumor around," the editorial said. "Based on everything we know about the Carter instinct and record on this sort of thing, that rumor utterly impossible to believe." That didn't sit well with Carter, who is on a two-day visit to Washington. "He finds it incredible," said his lawyer, Timothy Adamson. "They said they published a rumor, even if it was false." Adamson said the former president will make a statement on paper after reading the editorial and the following: "I consider the owners and publishers of the Washington Post responsible for their libelous action and for their failure and refusal to correct it in a timely fashion," Carter said. Moreover, said Adamson, Carter has not been dissuaded from pressing for a retraction and "a final decision." The word apology did not appear in the editorial. "Perhaps," Powell said, "the owners of the newspaper should take a little more interest in what out the door. It's clear that the editors are not doing it." Powell, who was a key figure in the Carter administration, said the Post's editorial was "arrogant and at the same time sort of pathetic." "The Post was saying, 'We're going to publish it because it was a rumor, even if it was false.'" Powell said he and Carter's lawyers are still discussing whether to file a libel suit. "The question is not how much money he has to get, but whether to go ahead with it," Powell said. Powell said Carter found the Ear item and the editorial that followed "wrong and unfair." "How can you make a mistake that hurts someone, and then people say they've made a mistake and won't do it anymore," Powell said. "This (editorial) says to me that we didn't believe it was true when we published it, that we don't believe it now, but we defend our right to publish it. In you, dear readers, didn't understand it, that's your fault." - UFOa "higherups" - ## Iranian prime minister resigns By United Press International Iran's prime minister has resigned to let new President Sayed Ali Khamenei choose a government and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has called for the brainwashing of children to create a new Islamic man.

The Irish National Liberation Army, an offshoot of the almost exclusively Roman Catholic Irish Republican Army, said its men shot and killed McCullough to avenge the slaying of Roman Catholics by Protestant extremists. Security authorities speculated the INLA also was behind the abduction of Dunne. A police spokesman said McCullough, 34, was hit twice when a gunman riding on the back seat of a motorcycle driven by another man drew up beside his car and opened fire in the Protestant Shankill Road section of Belfast. The motorcycle later was found abandoned in the neighboring Catholic Falls Road district, an IRA-INLA stronghold. The McCullough killing heightened fears of renewed sectarian bloodshed in Northern Ireland. "It's hard to see the UDA letting McCullough go unavenged," a police source said. - UFOa "higherups" - # Gunmen kill Ulster leader oreg 10/17/81 === Page 21 of 64 jack anderson CIA Backroom deal WASHINGTON -- A scandal of extraordinary proportions involves Egypt's highest leaders and a group of former CIA and Pentagon officials in a backroom deal that gave a company with Palestinian connections the exclusive, multimillion-dollar contract to ship U.S. arms to Egypt. As I reported in a previous column, there is strong reason to suspect that corrupt Egyptian officials profited personally from the scheme, and that some of the arms shipments were diverted to Palestinian forces and other groups opposed to the late President Anwar Sadat. My associates Dale Van Atta and Indy Badhwar have conducted a major investigation into the affair. They interviewed knowledgeable Egyptian officials, military and intelligence sources and businessmen who were involved. They obtained dozens of secret cables and letters that confirm essential parts of the story. Baksheesh and nepotism are nothing new in the Middle East, but it is rare indeed when corruption can be traced to the very highest levels of government. Yet the trail of evidence in the Egyptian arms deal points to the two most powerful men in Egypt today -- the men who stood at either side of Sadat when he was assassinated, and who now effectively control the country. The two are Sadat's successor, Hosni Mubarak, and Defense Minister Abu Ghazala. On June 25, 1979, a few months after the secret arms-shipping deal was cut, Mubarak was given a detailed report on the affair. The report included the information that the shipping firm, Tersam, was not qualified and was secretly controlled by a Palestinian businessman named Ali Shorafa, operating out of the United Arab Emirates, a hotbed of anti-Sadat Palestinian supporters. A coded cable from Cairo on July 2, 1979, stated that "vice president in person is following this case closely." But a return cable the next day suggested it was unlikely Mubarak would pursue the scandal diligently, because "the vice president's brother-in-law is involved." A week later, another cable from Cairo gave assurance: "V.P. taking matters very seriously. Brother-in-law (flown to) Cairo." In the end, however, Mubarak did nothing to rescind the contract or hinder its execution. It is not clear whether the vice president ever told the incorruptible Sadat about the affair. The brother-in-law is Gen. Mounir Sabet, now stationed in Washington as chief of military procurement. Two years ago, he was an assistant military attache here, and was involved in the Tersam deal up to his ears. At a Washington meeting on June 14, 1979, for example, Sabet confirmed that Tersam had been awarded the shipping contract in secret, and offered one of the firm's competitor's half the profits if he'd keep his mouth shut. Sabet's boss in Washington that year was the military attache, Gen. Abu Ghazala. He too was deeply involved in the Tersam deal. I have a confidential letter signed by Ghazala and addressed to the Pentagon, dated April 2, 1979. It informed the appropriate officials "that the Egyptian Ministry of Defense has appointed TERSAM CO. as its exclusive agent . . . for all its military imports from the United States of America." For months thereafter, however, Ghazala repeatedly denied that Tersam had been given the contract. Far from being reprimanded for his part in the undercover deal, Ghazala was given an extension of his American tour of duty and a new home. He is now defense minister. On June 14, 1979, at the Army-Navy Country Club near Washington, Ghazala and Sabet led still another Tersam competitor to believe that his firm would get the lucrative shipping contract. Later that evening, an American associate of the two Egyptian military men offered the competitor a subcontract if he would make no fuss about the Tersam deal. The Egyptians were clearly worried that word of the behind-the-scenes arrangement with the Palestinian Shorafa would become known in Egypt. A third top-level Egyptian involved in Tersam was Gen. Kamal Hassan Ali, now deputy prime minister and foreign minister. At the time, he was defense minister. He was the one who authorized Ghazala's letter to the Pentagon stating that Tersam was the exclusive shipping agent for America arms. And in a secret letter from Ali's office dated April 17, 1979, Tersam's status as "permanent and exclusive agent" was confirmed. The letter stated that the agreement had been made in 1978. Yet Ali repeatedly lied to other Egyptians about the Tersam deal, and succeeded in blocking investigation of the affair. He also helped keep the facts from reaching Sadat, according to my sources.

Then see the photo on the attached xerox. 1 Ghazala is sneaking a look at his watch just minutes before the killers ran at Sadat guns blazing.

All around him are smiling and relaxed. 3 Sadat, between Mubarak and Ghazala, was riddled. Why not Mubarak and Ghazala? 4 Sadat's body guard defense in front of the bandstand was sent away before the murderous attack, according to reports. Who was in charge of defense? Ghazala.

I am heartbroken. The beautiful tiny diamond ring that you gave to me, is gone. All of my life I wanted diamond ring. When someone gives me one... it vanishes. The SIs (UFOs) took it. I had been wearing two rings on my right hand. Your Knight Ring and the tiny diamond ring. The Knight Ring represented me; the diamond ring Eva. Here is what happened. Last Wed. the SIs telepathed and instructed me to take Bean (they excluded Teddy for the 1st time. I found out why later) into deep woods in the Olympia Forest on the Canadian border. They gave no reason for their order. So Bean and I got our woods gear together, put it into our old van and drove 200 miles to the Olympia Deep Forest. The SIs directed us away from the main road deep into the dark forest to a tiny clearing surrounded by huge old trees. Mind you, no civilization around; no farms, no houses, no people... just huge trees all around and rotting logs on the ground. Bean and I "set up camp" in the tiny clearing. Made a circle of rocks to encompass our fire. Backed the old van up close to where the fire would be. Bean dragged up logs and branches and put them in a pile beside the fire circle. Then I heard Bean cry out "Look!" I looked up and he was walking out of the trees encircling us to the clearing holding something in his hands. He held it out to me. It was a brand new expensive corduroy jacket sheep-wool-lined... not a spot on it... to fit a 3-4 year-old baby! (When we brought it home and put it on Jerome, 3, it fit him as if it had been tailored to his measurements.) Bean went into the trees to find more wood and again emerged with something in his hands... two perfect toy cars. Remember now, we came into this deep deep woods blindly. And already we'd found a new coat and toys for Jerome! While Bean prepared the fire I decided to leave the small clearing and walk into the forest. When I did so, it was just like going === Page 24 of 64 onto another planet, or into a different world. "Eerie" is the only word to describe it. Nothing moved. No sign of life. The little light available had a peculiar, yellowish color. One might as well have been in a vacuum. No sound whatsoever. I made my way back to the clearing and informed him of my impressions and he told me that he'd been about to tell me the same thing. Dusk began to fall. There wasn't a sound anywhere... near us or far away. I began to find rocks with faces on them, on the ground. That is, holes for two eyes, nose and mouth. After I'd found a full dozen, near our van and around the fire, Beau began to find them, too, and we stored them in the van. It grew dark. He piled lots of wood on the fire. Earlier, Beau had requested that I signal my UFOs, in the way that I always did and I had done so... telepathing that there were "friends" below; to come down and visit us; that we were not afraid. (Occasionally I'll insert something I forgot to mention. Hence this. Before we entered the wooded area it was very cold in our van. Beau stopped the van and got me a warm jacket from the back. But later on when I took a walk in the same woods that looked like some other world it was as warm as summer! I took the jacket off and walked without it on. But when I returned to the small clearing from the deep woods it was ice cold again! Now let's resume where I left off.) The darkness began closing in on us. Not a sound anywhere. Now Beau and I had brought an ice cooler full of beer for Beau and pop for me. Plus bottles of drinking water. Yet we didn't get hungry or thirsty! === Page 25 of 64 I began to find more rocks with faces in the darkness, but illuminated by the glow from the camp fire. (Before we were through Bean and I found 20 "face rocks" which we put into the car. Later, on getting back home, we found that the faces had vanished... we threw them away.) The darkness by now was so intense that we could see nothing beyond the fire. In short, we were encircled by complete blackness with no sound whatsoever. We made coffee over the fire (couple of cups of coffee were all we were thirsty for.) Then Bean saw a huge UFO overhead. It was triangular with pulsating lights outlining it.* We watched it for a while, until it moved away. About 11 PM, I think it was, I suddenly became half-conscious (which is the only way I can describe it.) Bean and I briefly discussed the only two noises we'd heard in the woods, in the blackness of night... several hair-raising screeches and a dull thumping noise resembling the pounding of a mop against a wooden wall. Both noises, heard at different times, just lasted briefly. All the other hours had been a "deafening silence." I informed Bean that I couldn't stay conscious; took off my guns and laid them inside the back of the van (where I was standing); put my rings in the center of a handkerchief and knotted the four corners into a tight knot (I'd never done anything like this before in my life) and put the handkerchief with the guns; climbed inside the back of the van (after first handing Bean my .38 pistol for protection... I had never ever handed a gun to Bean before) and told Bean to close and secure the doors on the back of the van. He did so and I * When I turned my flashlight on it the light reflected back to us, as if we'd flashed the light into a mirror. === Page 26 of 64 laid down inside, still groggy and half-conscious, while Bean got into the front of the van, closed the door and became silent. I never did go to sleep. Tried to... but I couldn't sleep yet couldn't get conscious either. Meanwhile the utter darkness had closed in on us. Campfire, I suppose, had gone out. Some time later... I don't know when... Bean spoke through the mesh screen separating us and said, "Dad let's get out of here!" I said "If you want to." (I had no feelings about anything. Earlier in the evening, just after darkness had fallen, I had armed myself with the shotgun, beside the campfire while we were having a cup of coffee. I figured that anything could come at us from out of the forbidding dark surrounding us. Yet about an hour before I became groggy something came over me; I put up the shotgun in the van; and looked at the blackness we were enveloped in as a friend. I felt (illogically) that we were as safe as if we were in a bank vault.) Anyway, I heard Bean start up the van and begin to drive carefully out of the deep woods to the small road somewhere near. I just didn't care what happened, lying there flat on my back inside the back of the dark van. Suddenly the damndest sexual urge came over me, for no reason. (I haven't had sex for eight or ten years, because my wife simply discontinued it. Thus, a sex urge on my part is just about like a long lost memory.) I heard Bean swing the van off the === Page 27 of 64 small road and stop. "Dad," he called back to me, "here's a tiny off-road... dirt road. We'll park here and sleep." I raised up and looked out the front windshield. He'd parked on the left side of a tiny, muddy road (it had poured rain on this area, I guess... although now I think about it it had been dry as a bone where we'd been in the woods, I could see lots of water in a deep ditch to our left.) "Beau," I exclaimed, "you're on the wrong side of the road! If anyone comes along they'll hit us head on!" "Oh yeah!" he said and started up the van. I lay back down. I felt the van cut sharply to the right then the loud spinning of wheels in mud... and that was that. "Oh no!" I yelled at Beau. "Now you've done it! Get back here and open these doors so I can get out there!" You see, we were out in the middle of nowhere. Someone might come by in a day or two, then again they might not. He opened the back doors and I jumped out. Inexplicably he'd tried to make a U-turn on a tiny dirt road not much wider than a cow-path, with a deep ditch filled high with water and mud on both sides of the road. Our van was smack across the road, blocking the road completely, with the back end of the van plus back wheels sunk deeply into the ditch of water and mud completely. === Page 28 of 64 up over the wheels in soft mud to the body of the van! I got into the driver's seat and tried every trick I'd ever learned, to free the van. First to the right, then to the left, then straight ahead. Nothing. I tried "rocking." Haha. Nothing. This went on for some time and as it did my resolve to free the van got more and more powerful. While rocking the van I idly remembered the time, long years ago, when a car slipped off a jack in Los Angeles onto my left hand against the cutting edge of the curb (I'd taken the front right tire off). I'd thought "Oh no! With my left hand mangled I'll never be able to drum or type or do anything!" Magically, the entire front end of the car had raised up into the air! I'd snatched my hand free then the car had fallen again with a crash. It had just left a deep, livid crease across the back of my hand. I'd witnessed a miracle, and knew it, but couldn't explain it. As my mind dwelled on this old memory, I felt our van lift up and get firmly forward onto the road. "Dad!" Jean yelled, "how could that have happened? Your mind must have done it!" How we got onto the road straight I'll never know either, because we were still across the road with no room to turn around without going into one of the === Page 29 of 64 7 ditches... but the next thing I knew we'd driven off the tiny road onto the main dirt road. We went on until we reached Rt. 101, drove until we came to a small town, pulled over and managed a short sleep, at last. It was still dark when I came awake, started the van and got us to I-5. Daylight now. We drove a while and came to a restaurant, "Rib Eye." Went in and had breakfast. On leaving the place Bean said, "Look, Dad, there's an electronic machine that shows your heartbeat! Remember Omsi? Why don't you try it?" (Last year he and I had gone to OMSI at Washington Park Zoo in Portland. It's a place housing all kinds of scientific exhibits; planetarium, etc. They had had a machine which registered your heartbeat if you placed down the palm of your hand. I'd stood in line and watched the indicator bounce up and down across the screen as people tried it. When it came my turn I put my hand down... but there was just a straight line. No heartbeat was indicated. I tried several times with the same result. No heartbeat. "Watch this," I told Bean, "I'll will my heart to beat!" And suddenly the indicator went bouncing up. === Page 30 of 64 and down normally across the screen. It was spooky and scary. Something of the same sort had happened also at Mayo Clinic when they tested my heartbeat. I'd lain there for an hour or two, wired up. The doctor looked at the results and said, "Mr Owens, you told the nurse you were an expert at auto hypnosis and could control your heart beat. Did you do that on this test?" I told him no. Well, he said, you'll have to do it all over again. Anyway, with this machine you stuck your finger into a metal slot. Beau went first and the indicator jumped up and down across the screen and a number showed on the screen. 102, I think. I put my finger in... the same old straight line showed... and my number flashed... 00! Indicating no heartbeat But I have gotten ahead of things. Before going to the above restaurant, Beau and I pulled into a park beside the road so that I could unlock the back of the van, obtain my rings and put them on. I unlocked the padlock, took out the knotted handkerchief, untied it and the diamond ring was gone!! The four other rings were there, but the Queen's ring had vanished! Now we're talking about a locked van... me in it all the time... armed... nobody had come near the van... and the diamond ring has vanished! Regardless of the securely knotted handkerchief I searched the van and everything in it. No diamond ring! === Page 31 of 64 Now, back to the restaurant. It frightened me registering no heartbeat on the machine after the same thing had happened before (with a different machine) at OHSI in Portland. Beau and I walked from the restaurant to our parked van when suddenly Beau exclaimed, "Look, Dad!" He pointed to the side of the van. There were handprints everywhere. Tiny ones, one with 8 fingers (distinct fingerprints, not a "handroll") one with talons at the end of the fingers. Also there were numerous prints of lightning bolts!! (My sign, you know.) I took two cameras and made color photos of them all... both sides of the van were covered with prints. Before going into the woods the night before they hadn't been on the van. Beau and I returned then to Hazel Dell. We left everything in the van, went inside the house, and he went to bed and I fell into my bed. I slept without waking for 20 hours!! That was Friday. Saturday and Sunday I was like a robot or zombie. I seemed like another person entirely. Had no energy to the point that it was too tiring to think! The phone would ring and I was too tired to pick it up and talk to anyone. And Beau and I both had headaches. He took lots of aspirin. I sweated mine out. But the point is... there had been nothing in our sojourn into the woods to tire us. Then at night I began to have vivid dreams. In one dream a ravishingly beautiful female made sexual approaches to me. (On waking next morning I matched up this dream with a tremendous sexual feeling I'd had on Thursday night as I lay in the back of the van while the van drove === Page 32 of 64 out of the dark woods.) In another vivid dream Bean and I were in the woods and witnessed a black UFO come down through the trees. It was not solid... it split apart into shadowy sections until they reached the ground and humanoids appeared. They seemed like ordinary people except that their eyes had white around them... circles of white. (I described the dream to Bean and he said, "White, Dad? like the white of an egg?" Which was pin-point accurate, and a curious thing for him to say, because in the dream that was my thought... that the humanoids seemed to have the white of egg around their eyes.) I spent the entire day going over the van with a fine-tooth comb, as the saying goes. No diamond ring. It wasn't in anything nor was it anywhere. So I told Bean, "that does it. We have to go back. I have to search the ground where that van was parked near the clearing in the deep woods." "But Dad," he objected, "that's 500 miles!" "Don't care," I told him. "I had planned to be buried some day with that ring on. Eva gave it to me and that makes it precious." So on Monday Bean and Teddy and I began the long trip up to the Canadian border. (Here I will tell you that by this point I had come to the conclusion that Bean and I had been "taken" by the SI's === Page 33 of 64 in the woods the previous Thursday for the purpose of mating us with females that they provided. The powerful sexual feeling I'd felt as we'd left the woods must have been a hangover from whatever aphrodisiac they'd used to stimulate the mating. My dream later on had been a subconscious recall. Also, that is why the SIs had told us not to take Teddy on the trip!! He, at 10, was too young to mate. This occasion, remember, was the very first time Teddy had never accompanied Beau and I!) Well, hours later Beau somehow managed to locate that off-the-road-in-the-deep-woods clearing. All three of us went over every inch of ground. No siting.. So we drove back again towards home, far away. 3/4 of the way there Teddy got sick and began to vomit. Beau got sick and was trying to keep from throwing up. I was not sick like them but felt like there was a tremendous weight on me... did not feel like myself... I hunched over the steering wheel and willed myself to be able to make it the final stretch. By tremendous mental effort I managed to get the van home. Beau and Teddy threw up some more. We all three were "beat to the socks," as the saying goes. Had the SIs "taken" us 3 while we were alone in those isolated deep woods, causing the kids to be ill? Oh yes. A terrible, foul odor permeated the van while we were in the woods and the kids complained. === Page 34 of 64 In closing, let me say this. It was an utter impossibility for the diamond ring to vanish. So my UFOs took it. They had to. Why? It stood for "Eva" on my hand. The SI's angry with Eva? Nonsense. She only treated me with great kindness. Now... this sort of thing had happened before!! Years ago outside the town of Warminster, in England at midnight, I was on a tall dark hill, signaling to the SIs, when a "craft" came down to me! At the time I had on a turquoise ring set with an opal cross in the center. After I returned to the hotel in the small hours of the morning the ring had vanished from my hand! Next day I took a taxi out to the hill, climbed up to where I'd been the night before, and searched everywhere there. No ring. Went back to town and placed an ad in the paper offering a big reward to anyone in Warminster who could find that ring. On the day I was to leave Warminster the ring appeared in my hotel room! Again, an utter impossibility! Same thing happened when I got into Stonehenge by stealth after midnight, had my adventure then returned to my hotel room. My sheath knife had vanished during the action! It appeared the next day. How is England?

Put simply, the SIs are making everything go wrong for the United States Government that can possibly go wrong, in every possible way; politically, financially, militarily, and so on. (3) "Power" and Rain Attack Worldwide. This project is aimed at knocking out all forms of "power"...electric, nuclear, oil, etc. The enclosed file is absolutely jammed with newsclips which illustrate how it is being done. The "rain attack" part of the project is to cause violent storms...wind, rain, etc. (4) Sun and Moon SI Attack. The SIs are exerting, projecting, laws of physics (powers) from their dimension at the sun and the moon simultaneously. I tried to find out from them the effects of this project on Earth, but was unable to do so. Whatever it is, it will not be good. At this point I must explain something to you. The file enclosed has newsclips which cover action everywhere. Seemingly just 'happenings' and unrelated. But not so. I must point out that my work parallels that of Moses...and no doubt when the SIs, working with Moses as their 'reporter' to the Pharaoh, said that people all over Egypt would be covered with boils...each section of Egypt must have thought that it was an unrelated happening when it happened...nothing to be "tied together" to a "main theme or melody" if you follow what I am saying. The same course of action is described in the pattern of the newsclips in the enclosed file. I.e., the Four Projects (ideas, really) have been "PKd" by the UFOs to happen; occur; come to pass. And they are doing so, with amazing (to me) constancy. My half human, half alien mind can easily recognize the "Pattern" whereas the ordinary human mind (non-alien) would have great difficulty in doing so, if at all. The reason for all of this negative, aggressive behavior on the part of the UFOs is because my "host country" the U.S. will not protect me or help me, their only human "ambassador" (to use the Mishlove/Rogo term, which is entirely accurate). And the U.S. will not furnish the Base which is an absolute necessity if the SIs are going to be able to step in and save the United States (and probably the rest of the world) from extinction. The people on it, I am referring to.) The "Four Projects" seem to be causing explosions all over the U.S. Ships, oil rigs, industrial complexes, and so on. The Titan missile site. Volcanoes (both here and abroad). Also the Four Projects seem to be causing "plagues" of every kind. Red Tide on the East Coast; bubonic plague in New Mexico; tampon toxic-shock escalation; outbreak of "blue tongue" in livestock in the northwest; radioactive leaks in nuclear facilities everywhere, and so on and on. Going from the large to the small in the order of things, strange things have been happening where I am concerned: in the grocery across the street where I shop daily a loaf of bread jumped off a shelf, while I watched it, just feet away; another day a carton of Coca-Cola jumped off a shelf and crashed onto the floor. I was five feet away from it...and so was John, the store manager of Keil's, who witnessed it. Also a large tray loaded with plates jumped off the table in my office at home while I sat alone, three feet away from it. It is my belief that the SIs have increased my mental power and that this is some sort of "side-effect" from it.

Barbara Warmoth's bizarre experiences were verified when she told her story under hypnosis to a respected psychotherapist - and when she passed extensive lie detector examinations given by a veteran New York City police officer. "I'm a feet-on-the-ground-type person," the Franklin, Ohio, mother of six told THE ENQUIRER. "I've never been a believer in way-out science fiction or UFOs. But I've been abducted and released by space creatures. And I fully expect that I'll be taken again. Why me? I don't know." By JAMES McCANDLISH of UFO sightings in southwestern Ohio led investigators to issue a public plea for witnesses that Mrs. Warmoth, who is divorced, stepped forward. The UFO experts asked her to undergo hypnosis - and in hypnotic trances she vividly recalled being aboard UFOs on both February 15 and August 19 of this year. Mrs. Warmoth said she was asleep February 15 when an incredibly brilliant light filled her bedroom at 2 a.m. She leaped from bed and spotted a saucer-shaped craft hovering nearby. "The next thing I remember," she continued, "it was 3:15 a.m. Under hypnosis I learned I was actually aboard the UFO during that 1 hour and 15 minutes. "The interior of the UFO was circular and completely metallic. From the center of the ceiling a large column of light ran to the floor. And on the roof of the craft was a transparent dome. "Then a door opened and a strange seven-foot-tall creature approached me. It was garbed in a tight-fitting, gray metallic uniform, its head and face shrouded in a helmet. I could see yellow catlike eyes peering at me through openings in the helmet. "Through mental telepathy the creature told me not to be afraid, that he came from a planet called Antares and meant me no harm." After a brief ride on the UFO - at one point it hovered over a water-filled gravel pit - the space creature approached Mrs. Warmoth with a small boxlike instrument which had probes extending from it. "The creature ran the box from the top of my head to my toes - without touching me," she told THE ENQUIRER. "And then I was back in my bedroom." Astonishingly, on that very night, 54-year-old Dean Hill of Carlisle, Ohio, reported to police that he spotted a UFO - hovering over a water-filled gravel pit! Mrs. Warmoth's next close encounter took place last August 19 as she was driving along an interstate highway near her home - in broad daylight. This time she lost two hours after the blinding glare of the silvery UFO forced her to pull off the road. "The creature was dressed as before but this time its face was uncovered. I could see more than just slanted yellow eyes. It had no ears, a long, thin nose, pointed chin and thin, almost colorless lips. "The creature placed me in a large chair in a room that was like a laboratory - with electronic equipment everywhere. Then it gave me a glass of a greenish liquid." Suddenly, just as before, the experience was over. Cincinnati psychotherapist Robert Schneider, who conducted the hypnosis sessions, told THE ENQUIRER: "My training and approach to everything is skeptical. But I believe Mrs. Warmoth is telling the truth. She remembers her experiences in detail." And New York City police officer Pete Mazzola, who's also International Director of a UFO investigatory agency, the Scientific Bureau of Investigation, stated: "Barbara Warmoth is telling the truth. I spent 1 1/2 days interviewing her and putting her through lie detector tests. She passed with flying colors. This is one of the strongest incidents of UFO abduction documented." As for Mrs. Warmoth, though she's convinced the aliens will abduct her again, "I have no fear. They've never mistreated me. I've been told they mean me no harm - and I believe them." HYPNOTIZED, Barbara drew space alien with cat-eyes peering through helmet (right) and uncovered face showing sharp features and thin lips. (Note: Read the description of the above alien carefully! It is the same alien that towered over me one night in Philadelphia and whose face appears on the cover of my book, published in 1968. * It also got me while I was in my bedroom!!

To underscore the emerging alliance, and as a reaction to pressures from Libya, the plan calls for Egyptian and, tentatively, Sudanese troops to join the maneuvers in Egypt's western desert abutting Libya. The exercise, called "Bright Star," would be much larger than last year's 10-day exercise around Cairo, which involved only U.S. and Egyptian troops. This one is tentatively expected to last from Nov. 9 to Dec. 6 and involve U.S. ground, air and naval forces in exercises over thousands of miles. "The idea is to assure countries over there that we could come to their aid in a hurry," said one official, acknowledging that fears about Libya's stepping up military activity in Chad and Sudan added a sense of urgency to this second "Bright Star" exercise. Oreg 10/13/81 ## Contacts My UFOs have instructed me to notify you that they are going to attack these "Bright Star" Exercises (see clipping above) in order to wreck and/or damage the Exercises in order to show other countries that the U.S. cannot protect them! Since the Base has not yet been provided my UFOs assume that another large-scale demonstration is necessary. In "Bright Star" planes and helicopters should have accidents; U.S. personnel should make wrong decisions and errors leading to materiel and personnel accidents. The entire "Bright Star" Exercise will be one great rolling disaster for the U.S. and U.S. forces, according to my UFOs, who plan to make that happen. Owens === Page 42 of 64 October 9, 1981 11:12 AM Contacts: I am filled with fury! The landlord who owns our rented house came into our house and into my office, while I was working, and harassed and aggravated me about small things my children were doing which he does not like. He topped off his glaring-eyed lecture with "...and if you're dam kids can't take care of my property then you'll just have to move." His "property" is an old (50 years) house he built by hand. Windows won't open; no locks on windows; wood all over the house is rotten and crumbles away. But he has a system which has always worked for him. Let a renter complain in any way and he orders them out then rents to someone else who won't complain but will fix the old run-down house up at their expense (not the landlord's.) A broken window brought down all this vituperation on me today from the landlord. I asked him to fix it. I'd buy the new glass. He ordered me to have a glass company fix it. The point I am going to make is this: When PK Man gets angry, trees fall down. I am attaching my fury to the fact no Base has been provided, free of landlords.

As you know...my UFOs had promised to destroy the Shuttle if their base was not supplied. Now, always before it was I who performed the psi-force work...utilizing a "PK Map" and activating it constantly to bring about the desired result in cooperation with my UFOs. But in this case...and with new modus operandi by my UFOs...the power was not placed into my hands but kept by the UFOs (keep in mind the hundreds of times I caused seemingly impossible things to happen; well documented in advance of the fact. Last night, Monday night, I received a telephone call. The person gave me a strange message. IF THE SPACE SHUTTLE LANDED SAFELY NEXT DAY (today) THEN THE UFO BASE WOULD BE FORTHCOMING AS MY UFOs AND I WISHED. My son Beau and I were puzzled by this call...because as far as we knew my UFOs still were intent on destroying the Shuttle. Knowing full well that my mind is monitored around the clock by my UFOs...all of my thoughts and actions...I wondered if this call might be acted upon by my UFOs. This morning my son and I watched the Shuttle get down safely. I telepathd to the SIs to try and get an answer why they had changed their minds...because as far back as I can remember this is the first time (with the exception of Idi Amin) they have not done what they have announced. Their reply was most interesting. They replied that a top secret government agency had determined to have me "hit" by one of their special assassins...killed...if the Space Shuttle were destroyed. The SIs, in their own way of monitoring, had found this out. Therefore they held their hand this time around with the Shuttle. They did not want to lose me...and then have to wipe out the United States in retribution...it simply was not a part of their game plan. Just before the Shuttle began to descend, this morning, I telepathd Control of the SIs, and requested that they somehow save the astronauts when they destroyed the Shuttle. In my new role of "middle man" simply reporting the SI action, things tend to get a bit confusing. But what is not confusing is...is that Crippen and Young are safe at home with their families. So Beau and I are celebrating while we puzzle over the situation. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 46 of 64 Fuel leaks on shuttle Toxic rocket propellant leaked from a malfunctioning valve and spilled down the side of the space shuttle Columbia on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Fla., Tuesday morning, damaging a "limited number" of heat shield tiles. A space agency spokesman said that it is not known how many of the tiles will have to be replaced or if the second orbital test flight, set for Oct. 9, will have to be delayed.

(AP) - The second flight of the space shuttle Columbia will be delayed at least "one or two weeks" or even a month beyond its Oct. 9 launch date because a fuel spill unglued up to 250 of its heat-protective tiles, officials said Tuesday. George Page, director of shuttle operations at Kennedy Space Center, said a problem with a valve on ground equipment apparently caused the spill of a highly toxic oxidizer around the nose of the spacecraft. During the spill, which occurred during a fueling operation, two to three gallons of oxidizer soaked an area about 20 feet long and two to six feet wide, he said. Page said he hoped the heat-shield tiles suffered little or no damage and can be cleaned and reglued to the orbiter's skin on the launch pad. "In my view, we're down a week and maybe two weeks at best" if the only problem is the tile adhesive, he said. However, if the oxidizer, nitrogen tetroxide, invaded the maneuvering system of the spacecraft itself, the shuttle will have to be rolled back to the huge Vehicle Assembly Building for disassembly, Page said. That could create a delay "in excess of a month," he said. A full assessment of the damage was expected to take another day or two. Sixty-seven of the silica tiles either fell off or were removed during a day-long damage assessment operation which began after the 1:15 a.m. EDT accident. Six workers wearing protective suits and helmets worked throughout the day inspecting the tiles and trying to determine how many were involved. Fumes from the spill kept unprotected workers from the pad. The accident occurred when the oxidizer was being loaded into the forward tank of the orbiter's Reaction Control System, below and to the front of the astronauts' cockpit. Since the shuttle assembly sits on its tail at the pad, the spilled oxidizer splashed downward at least 18 to 20 feet, Page said. There was no possibility of an explosion because the system's hydrazine fuel had not been loaded. No one was injured. The Reaction Control System is used for Columbia's pitch, yaw and roll maneuvers during orbit and atmospheric re-entry. The tiles are among 31,000 that make up the orbiter's insulation shield against the high temperatures of atmospheric re-entry. They are made of a silica fiber compound and individually sized, fitted and bonded onto 75 percent of the orbiter's external surface. Their silica makeup is what kept the oxidizer from eating away at them, Page said. Shuttle delay looks longer By IKE FLORES CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Spilled propellant that unglued nearly 300 thermal tiles on the space shuttle Columbia also leaked into the craft itself, increasing the possibility that the ship will have to undergo lengthy repairs, officials said Wednesday. Moving the ship from its pad would delay the launch "in excess of a month" beyond the scheduled Oct. 9 date, shuttle operations director George Page said. It would also be a costly setback for the shuttle program. "Project officials are deciding whether or not to roll the shuttle vehicle back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, de-mate the orbiter and move it to the Orbiter Processing Facility for repair," said a status report issued late Wednesday on the Tuesday accident. A decision on whether to move the shuttle system or do the necessary repairs at the pad is expected by Friday, Page said. Hugh Harris, a spokesman for the Kennedy Space Center, said a visual inspection in the orbiter's nose disclosed the contamination of the reactor-control system. But the extent of damage was unknown until a technician climbed into the system's pod and inspected it closely. That operation was to take place late Wednesday. The system contains a group of thrusters that control the pitch and roll of the space plane during orbit and atmospheric re-entry. "It's pretty sure that they are going to have to remove the pod," said Harris, following a one-hour telephone conference among officials and engineers of the various space centers around the country. "I don't think there's any doubt they're going to do it." He said it would be difficult to remove the 4,000-pound pod at the launch site because the orbiter is in a vertical position. But he said this decision would have to await a further conferences Thursday. If the damage is extensive, it also would be better to do the repair work with Columbia in its hangar in a horizontal position, he said. === Page 47 of 64 # Space Shuttle SF Chronicle 9/10/81 Thursday, September 10, 1981 The Seattle Times A 21 much closer to actual operations than the first mission, whose main purpose was simply to get to space and back in one piece. Green said many of the changes that have been made since the first flight were the result of relatively minor failures and shortcomings on the initial mission. As a result of the loss of several heat-resistant tiles on the front of the pod-like protuberances that carry small maneuvering rockets near the tail, higher-performance tiles have been put in their place to resist the buffeting during liftoff that knocked off and chipped the ones on the first flight. New upgraded tiles were installed in areas near the back of the maneuvering rocket pods, where higher-than-expected temperatures during re-entry caused felt and adhesive underlying tiles to split or "delaminate" before. Engineers also redesigned the fuel cells that provide electricity, and two more hydrogen and oxygen fuel tanks for the fuel cells were installed because the mission will be longer. A motor assembly that points the orbiting maneuvering engine failed in the first flight (a backup took over), so a new one has been bolted in, and many of the smaller reaction control rockets used to fine-tune the shuttle's attitude in space have been fitted with higher-performance valves. In a week or so, an auxiliary power unit whose fuel-heater failed in the first mission will get a 10-minute "hot test" on the pad. The heater loss didn't stop the unit from producing power, but NASA engineers want to make sure it works as designed. Green said the breakdowns on the first flight were extremely minor "if you look at the complexity of this vehicle. On the Apollo missions there were many, many more." The exact cost of refurbishing the Columbia has not been calculated by NASA, a spokesman said yesterday, but the workforce in June, during the peak of repair activities, was 1000 Rockwell workers and 2200 subcontractors, plus 1100 NASA and other government employees. The payroll for such a force is around $500,000 per day. Preparations for the flight continued yesterday at thunderstorm-buffeted Kennedy Space Center as Engle and Truly climbed aboard the Columbia for a final checkout. Their scheduled activities included checks of the Columbia's communications, propulsion, and in-flight guidance systems, and a mock firing and cutoff of the shuttle's main engine. Thunder and lightning sent some workers scurrying for cover, but had no effect on the 33-hour exercise which was delayed at midpoint for about three hours by an unidentified electrical power supply problem. Richard Young, a spokesman at Kennedy Space Center, said all three ground power supply systems quit Tuesday night and engineers were baffled by the blackout. "We are still not sure of the reason for it, we probably won't know for a while," Young said. Yesterday's weather, with rain and lightning within five miles of Launch Pad 39-A, was bad enough to have delayed a real launching, Young said, but didn't alter the dress rehearsal. The next crucial test for the spacecraft, which takes off like a rocket and lands like a plane, is September 14, when supercold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuels will be loaded into the bullet-shaped external tank. ## NATION Compiled from news services # Columbia passes test simulating mock firing CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Computers took the space shuttle Columbia through a mock ignition and launch-pad engine failure yesterday -- one of the final tests to prepare the orbiter for its second trip into space. With Joe Engle and Richard Truly, astronauts, at the controls, computers simulated the firing of the shuttle's engines then shut them down at "T-minus-3-seconds" -- three seconds before liftoff in an actual launch. The failure of one of the Columbia's engines was programmed into the test, a Kennedy Space Center spokesman, Dick Young, said. But testing shut-down procedures wasn't the purpose of the mock launch. It was just an easy way to end the test. The purpose, he said, was to look for last-minute bugs as the Columbia's scheduled October 9 launch date looms. What problems, if any, exist won't be known until engineers study the test, Young said. But it appeared to go smoothly. The mock launch, amid real thunderstorms and lightning, was delayed shortly by problems in the computer-simulation program that "fool" the shuttle into thinking its tanks are full and its engines firing, a space-center spokesman said. The bad weather sent some workers scurrying for cover, but had no effect on the 33-hour exercise which was delayed at midpoint for about three hours by an unidentified electrical power-supply problem. Next month's flight is the second of four test missions planned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration before the shuttle is declared operational and is ready to begin flying scientific payloads into space on a routine basis. === Page 48 of 64 - UFOs Shuttle PK - # Shuttle tile replacement begins CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Round-the-clock re-installation of more than 350 heat protection tiles on the space shuttle Columbia began Tuesday, with space officials hoping to replace 20 to 30 tiles a day and keep the shuttle from falling too far behind schedule. "They're hoping to get up to 30 a day," Kennedy Space Center spokesman Hugh Harris said about the tedious refitting of the tiles. "But some days, of course, they won't be able to get that many." The vulcanizing adhesive which binds the silica tiles to the aluminum "skin" of the space plane was destroyed by a corrosive propellant, nitrogen tetroxide, during a fueling mishap last Tuesday. The accident, caused by a faulty fueling valve, has delayed the shuttle's second mission, originally set for Oct. 9, by several weeks. Officials hope to announce within two weeks a new launch date, expected to be in late October or early November. The decontamination of a steering mechanism compartment in the nose of the orbiter has been completed, but 16 of 26 thermal insulation blankets must still be replaced, Harris said. Workers were awaiting arrival of more of the insulation material from a company in Downey, Calif. Some of the blankets were soaked when the propellant leaked into the steering pod, which contains thrusters used to maneuver Columbia in orbit and re-entry. Other blankets were removed as a precautionary measure. No significant damage was found in the steering system. Harris said 352 tiles of the shuttle's Thermal Protection System were removed and another eight were to be taken off to inspect their backing. Most can be reused. Engineers also have decided to drain the nitrogen tetroxide already loaded into the rear maneuvering engines of the orbiter and run the fluid through a filtering system to check for iron nitrate. An investigation revealed that the spill of two to three gallons of the propellant was caused by the formation of iron nitrate at the point where a "quick disconnect" valve attaches to a service panel on the orbiter's nose. Technicians believe the iron nitrate was formed in the fuel lines leading from the storage tank and settled at the metal fittings of the valve. But they don't know what caused the formation. All fueling valves are to be disassembled and replaced if necessary. The tile work was taking place with the shuttle poised for liftoff on its launch pad. esy 9/30/81 === Page 49 of 64 Sept. 30, 1981 # Contacts Once again I attach my 1971 predictions from the book.

Owens (PK Man) Will a looming national event bring joy--or sorrow--to your life? Will the war end? Does a world disaster threaten? What does the future hold for us all? America's greatest psychics reveal their astonishing predictions for what may be the most fateful year of our lives... by Brad Steiger, Warren Smith === Page 51 of 64 experimenting with a theory I had on the practical application of PK, or psychokinetic power, to nature's forces. What factors in Ted Owens' life prepared him to become a "relay station" for Space Intelligences? "I was born February 10, 1920, in Bedford, Indiana, and I was considered dumb and stupid not only by my teachers but by my own family," Owens told us. "Even then, though, they were in awe of my ESP ability. Later I was tested and found to have an IQ of 150--genius begins at 140. "I've mastered 50 professions, lived in many, many places. My life has been fantastic, with hairbreadth escapes, brawls with professional wrestlers and gangs with knives. My life has been almost as amazing as the miracles that I have brought about through the SI powers," he said. Continuing in his thumbnail personality sketch, Owens reported: "My hobbies are jazz drumming, straight pool and snooker, knife-throwing, judo, stick-fighting, photography, healing kids who need it with my secret system from the SIs, and exploring strange places." Why has Owens' life followed such a varied and unusual pattern? "All these things have been forced on me by the SI's without my knowledge," he explained. "They were training me for future work with them. The many professions were necessary in order that I might master certain mental abilities and enable the SI's to set up a two-way 'radio' with me. I'm the only psychic I know of who can cause phenomena to happen and document it. I have a 'lock' on one branch of ESP called PK, psychokinesis, and I use it all the time to create literal miracles, which can be documented. When I say that a hurricane will come up this weekend, it's a toss-up to the bystander whether I am using precognition or actually causing the hurricane to come up!" 144 In answer to our query, "What lies ahead for the United States?", Ted Owens, the PK man, the "relay station" for Space Intelligences, related the following: I only wish that it could be nice, pretty, lovely, sweet, and wholesome. But it is not. With this uncanny sixth sense that I have, which has foretold events so accurately in the past, I can see what lies ahead very plainly. Now, if you are fearful or squeamish, then these predictions are not for you. Turn to something else; escape into an adventure story or a travel commercial. Don't look. If you have nerve and are willing to accept the possibility that my ESP can indeed see ahead into the future, then read on. First let me tell you that I cannot put this into a "time frame" of exact dates. I made a series of predictions in 1967 to government agencies, lawyers, scientists, etc., which have come true, but some of the predictions took longer to happen than I thought would be the case. Time is a fooler, when it comes to predicting. Also, I am not sure of the order in which these things will occur. What I am sure of is, they will occur. There will be an accidental nuclear explosion in the U.S., which will cause havoc. I believe it will occur in the Southern Midwest. I see the White House in flames. Washington, D.C., will be a no-man's land. Militants will even poison the water reservoirs. At just about this time a brilliant young man, only about 20, will try to run for President, backed by the youth of all America. President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office. The U.S. wealthy will lose their riches, and I can see them shaking their heads in stunned disbelief, trying to imagine the lives ahead of them. I see empty houses every- 145 === Page 52 of 64 here, empty towns everywhere, as people who have lost their jobs and their homes wander around aimlessly. Everyone's broke. Businesses go broke. The U.S. will be virtually leaderless. The total government structure will begin to break down. Senators and congressmen will resign and quit in great numbers. As the U.S. Government breaks down completely, the Negroes will mass and grow in strength and power. They have spent a long time organizing in poverty, while the whites are just now being thrust into national poverty and are completely disorganized. Countries around the world at this point will begin to hate the whites, pointing out that the Pacific was a beautiful lovely place until the whites "civilized" it. That the Eskimo were a happy, thriving people until the whites "civilized" the North Pole area. That the Indians had a heaven in the U.S. until the whites came and brought civilization. And so on. And the countries around the world will turn their backs now, at this point in time, on the Americans in their trouble. Our military will be confused . . . general against general . . . admiral against admiral . . . and some in high authority will, in desperate frustration, try a missile attack on Russia. Russia then will blow up six to eight of our major cities, surround us with a ring of submarines (having first eliminated most or all of our own submarines) and carriers, and tell us to hold it right there or they will wipe out the U.S. completely. And the U.S. in its weak and disorganized condition will give in rather than be destroyed. Russia then will come in and remove our weapons and our best scientists and take them to Russia, leaving us in our shamed, confused, disorganized state. What it will be like in these days ahead to be living in the U.S.? There will be millions of cars just standing on the roads and streets . . . good, new cars . . . but no gas to go in them, no money to buy gas anyway or buy parts. No one to repair them, either. 146 People will be simply taking what they want, where they find it--shelter, food, etc. Death will be widespread. There will be no police, for the police will use what arms they have to take what they want when order goes and chaos reigns. There will be no newspapers, hospitals, television, radio--mass communication will no longer exist. There will be no mail, no post office department. The personnel in all of these departments and activities will be "heading for the woods" with their families to try to survive, somehow. People by the millions will be heading for the wide-open spaces to get away from the cities, which will be deadly jungles, deserted except for heavily armed gangs of killers, mostly colored. It is at this point in time that our new civil war will begin. Whites against blacks. Both races will slowly mass together, as they are able to communicate and pass the word, and killing "whitey" or "blacky" will be the order of the day, everywhere, without mercy. Other countries will be avoiding America like the plague. Canada and Mexico will have sealed their borders. Russia, meanwhile, will leave the U.S. to its misery, for America will no longer be a threat to Russian efforts at global supremacy. The weak and the old and the very young in the U.S., will perish during these terrible times, leaving only the strongest, the meanest, and the most resourceful. Then . . . the Asian race will come, streaming across the Alaskan Straits down into the U.S., and occupy it. They will take over Canada as well. Finally, they will take over Mexico, and this entire continent will be occupied by the Asian peoples. P.S. Our only hope of escaping this fate is to receive help from the UFOs, which are making friendly overtures to us now. 147 === Page 53 of 64 UFOs 6 Projects === Page 54 of 64 - UFO 6 Projects - S.F. Chronicle 9/10/81 # Manhattan in 'Bedlam' With Traffic Jams, Subway Delays New York An explosion and fire at a power generating station knocked out electricity in much of lower Manhattan for four hours yesterday, trapping office workers in elevators, snarling traffic, closing financial markets and creating chaos for homebound commuters. Traffic lights went out, telephones operated on emergency power and cars jammed intersections. City workers were stationed at busy corners, and some private citizens stepped in to direct traffic in the giant tie-ups. ## RUSH-HOUR BLACKOUT IN MANHATTAN From Page 1 restored to all areas four hours later. Paul Cohen, a Traffic Department worker at a downtown intersection, said that with street signals out, "people just do what they want. It's bedlam over here. There are a lot of tempers." "I've been sitting here for about one hour," said Rolando Reys as he listened to the radio in his idling sports car at Broadway and Chambers Street at about 6 p.m. Flashlights and candles lighted darkened stairwells for workers trapped in skyscrapers. Many people were drinking beer on the street. But many bars were closed because electric cash registers would not work. Telephones were switched to emergency power, but dial tones were slow in coming. Lines at downtown phone booths stretched 20 deep. Subways, with their signal lights affected, slowed to a crawl. Bus stops were jammed with displaced subway riders. Before power was restored, Lawrence Kleinman, a Con Edison spokesman, said there was no chance of the kind of problem that had blacked out the whole city in the past. "The problem is contained within the area that has been affected," he said. All police in lower Manhattan precincts were held on overtime, and officers from other boroughs were sent to Manhattan. Twenty hook-and-ladder trucks went to the rescue of those who were trapped. Mayor Edward Koch said at a news conference that the city was bearing up well under the problem, which affected only southwestern Manhattan. John Mulligan, a Fire Department spokesman, said there were widespread reports of people trapped in elevators. He said officials at Macy's at Herald Square said the department store's emergency lights had failed. Ellen Weiman of the city's Emergency Medical Service said three people were being treated for minor injuries at Macy's. At the power station, where the fire burned for 2½ hours, Deputy Fire Chief John Fogarty said, "We're not sure what caused the explosion or explosions. "But the explosion caused the transformer to burst its seams, spilling some of the 3000 gallons of lubricating oil that cools the transformer," he said. "That created a percolator effect. As the oil outside burned, more oil leaked out, feeding the fire." The city and much of the Northeast experienced a massive, overnight blackout on Nov. 9, 1965. Another major blackout, which lasted 25 hours, hit the city and Westchester County to the north July 13, 1977. Payton Shaw said he was walking past the power plant when the first of two explosions rocked the area. "The force of that explosion was enough to violently shake the car," he said. Brooklyn-bound lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge were closed to traffic for a while as thousands of workers trekked across in a scene reminiscent of the transit strike in April 1980. Angry motorists confronted police, and officer Ron Antoci said traffic was rerouted "after people just flooded across." The Transit Authority said all subway signals between Times Square and the southern tip of Manhattan were disrupted, and that there were delays on all lines in both directions. Officials said the delays would persist until the situation was resolved. Power was out at the New York and American Stock Exchanges, City Hall and the Board of Elections. But other office workers said they still had lights. Con Ed's Kleinman said early reports indicated that 52,150 customers -- ranging from small grocery stores to skyscrapers -- were affected. The 41-story headquarters of New York Telephone Co. at 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue was blacked out. Spokesman Tony Pappas said emergency power for telephones was turned on from 42nd Street south.

The newspaper report did not say how many people died when the typhoon struck last Monday night. It said the damage was heaviest in Nanjing, Ping-he, Zhangpu and Yunxiao counties where more than 12 inches of rain fell in 24 hours.

(AP) -- A man who bet a beer that he could swim three miles to a Gulf Coast island is the second person to die after a shark attack in Florida waters this year, officials say. Manatee County authorities said Mark Meeker, 26, a Tampa bartender, drowned after a shark took an eight-inch piece out of his right leg. Six weeks ago, a secretary died off the Atlantic Coast after being attacked by a shark. Meeker disappeared Tuesday afternoon after diving off Anna Maria City Pier in an attempt to swim to Egmont Key, three miles across choppy waters and strong tidal currents in the mouth of Tampa Bay. His body was found Wednesday morning, the drawstring of his bathing suit wrapped tightly around his right thigh as a make-shift tourniquet. Authorities said he drowned after either going into shock or becoming exhausted. Dr. Stephen Pelham, Manatee's medical examiner, said Friday that Meeker's wound was the result of a shark attack. "The marks are consistent with a shark bite," he said. Since sharks have several rows of teeth, a wound left by a shark will generally show other cuts above and below the bite. Meeker's leg had such cuts, he said. Manatee sheriff's deputy Mark Rominger said Meeker, Meeker's girl friend, Angie Tucker, and several other friends were on the pier on the south side of Tampa Bay when the bet was made. Rominger said the friends told him they became worried when they lost sight of Meeker after he was just a few hundred yards out. Shark's victim to swim again MELBOURNE BEACH, Fla. (UPI) -- James Smodell, the 12th victim of a shark attack in Florida waters this year, vowed Monday to get back in the water as soon as doctors remove the 40 stitches used to close a wound on his right hand. Smodell, 19, was surfing with a friend about 200 yards offshore Sunday when his unseen attacker hit. There was a big splash and Smodell pulled his mangled hand from the water. "It was a feeling I'll never forget, I'll tell you that," Smodell said. "I just jerked my hand up and tried to keep it out of the water. It was bleeding real bad as I paddled in." Experts say the number of shark attacks and reported sightings is up this year but they do not know why. Two people have died as a result of the attacks. "Maybe the fish they are feeding on are in closer to shore," said Frank Murru, curator of fishes at Sea World. "At this time of year they are usually feeding on mullet." Smodell said he and his surfing partner had seen mullet schooling through the area prior to the attack, and on Saturday had spotted several sharks about five feet long. "They usually just leave you alone," he said. "We've seen more out there this year chasing small fish." Both victims who died from attacks apparently bled to death. Christy Wapniarski, 19, was attacked Aug. 14 while swimming to shore from a capsized catamaran with three other people. Her boyfriend, who couldn't bring her in, said it appeared the shark bit her thigh. Her body hasn't been recovered. Mark Meeker, 26, died Sept. 19 after being attacked while trying to swim Tampa Bay on a bet. The Manatee County medical examiner said the cause of death was bleeding from an eight-inch-wide gash in his right calf -- an injury consistent with a shark bite.

(AP) -- An Air Force C-130 transport plane carrying Army troops on a nighttime training mission crash-landed and burned early Monday as it approached a darkened desert air strip, killing seven soldiers and hospitalizing 20 others. The four engine turbo-prop was carrying 68 people, including nine crew members, when it hit the desert floor and skidded before bursting into flames about three-quarters of a mile short of the runway at Indian Springs at 12:20 a.m. "The sky was aglow, the plane was totally engulfed in flames," said Jessica Hilt, 25, a helicopter rescue nurse who flew to the scene. "There were a lot of men with arm and leg fractures. It was miraculous that there were no more serious injuries." Several Air Force sources said the runway lights at the remote landing strip about 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas were shut off as part of the training mission, but Air Force officials refused to directly confirm or deny the report. "The aircraft was illuminating its own landing, that's all I can say," said Lt. Col. Mike Wallace, an Air Force public information officer. "We were using standard night operating tactics, and I'm not at liberty to discuss those tactics." The names of those killed were not immediately released, but Wallace said he believed they were all Army personnel. A Nellis Air Force Base spokesman said none of the 20 hospitalized was in critical condition, although some injuries were "orthopedic," such as broken arms or legs. At the White House, deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said President Reagan had been informed of the crash and "expressed regret" at the loss of life. Wallace said the plane hit short of the runway, skidded and ruptured its fuel lines, starting what he said was a small fire which normally develops in that type of crash. But, he added, the blaze reached smoke grenades and flares used on the mission and quickly developed into "an extremely hot fire." The C-130 was attached to the 463rd Tactical Airlift Wing at Dyess Air Force Base near Abilene, Texas. The plane was taking part in a training exercise involving the Army's 9th Infantry Division from Ft. Lewis, Wash., to simulate Air Force-Army airlift operations in combat conditions. - UFOs & Projects - Search called off NORFOLK, Va.

The survivors were rescued from the water a half-hour after their SH-3 Sea King crashed at 10:15 a.m. Sunday 360 miles off Virginia while on a routine flight off the aircraft carrier Forrestal. The search for the missing crewmen was called off shortly after nightfall Sunday after the carrier and aircraft had covered the area, according to Cmdr.

In Washington's Olympic National Park, a 500-acre fire was burning out of control as firefighters hoped for some help from the weather. The Tin Pan Peak fire -- which had consumed a trailer home, a barn and a shed Tuesday night after covering 2,350 acres. About 200 firefighters were mopping up and watching hot spots in the Rock Point area Thursday night, the Jackson County sheriff's office reported. Richard Scowden, age unknown, an employee of Jackson County Fire District 5, was struck by a falling snag about 3 a.m. Thursday and was admitted to Providence Hospital in Medford. Scowden was "under observation," but his injuries were not considered serious, said Linda Gabrielson, information officer for the state Department of Forestry. Another firefighter was treated for minor burns. Oregon forestry officials have estimated the cost of fighting the Tin Pan Peak fire on private and federal land would be at least $408,842, Ms. Gabrielson said. No estimate of loss to homes and timber was available. The Hull Lane fire, 10 miles north of La Grande, was controlled at 6 a.m. Thursday after burning 850 acres. Lightning storms in southwest and central Oregon sparked 11 small fires on the Rogue River, four in the Mount Hood National Forest, 20 fires in the Deschutes National Forest and 20 in the Fremont and Malheur national forests, said Mike Gouette, a U.S. Forest Service regional assistant coordinator. "We're up to our ears in lightning fires," Gouette said, adding that none of the fires was more than 10 acres and none posed an immediate threat to expanded. More lightning strikes were expected throughout the night, he said. In Washington, Forest Service crews and helicopters were fighting a 500-acre fire deep in the heart of the Olympic National Park, about 30 miles south of Port Angeles. Don Jackson, assistant park superintendent, said the fire was believed to have been caused by lightning about 10 days ago but blew up Wednesday afternoon. The fire was burning in a scenic area at about the 5,000-foot level between Godkin Creek and Buckingham Creek on the Elwha River. About 30 men were on the fire lines, aided by three helicopters and a fixed-wing plane that was scooping water from a nearby lake and dumping it on hot spots, Jackson said. The Washington Department of Natural Resources rescinded, effective early Friday, orders that had closed the forests on the west side of the state from Canada to Oregon, in view of forecasts of clouds and possible showers. In Oregon, however, the U.S. Forest Service and the state Department of Forestry reported that fire danger remained from very high to extreme, especially in the southern part of the state. oreg 9/18/81 - UFOs & Projects - Navy copter loss takes three lives NORFOLK, Va. (UPI) -- The USS Forrestal searched the Atlantic Monday for three Navy crewmen missing after their anti-submarine and rescue helicopter crashed. Three other men were rescued. It was the fifth aircraft carrier mishap this year. The Navy said it had no explanation why the SH-3 Sea King helicopter went down in "near perfect" weather early Sunday about 360 miles east of the Virginia coast as it returned from a routine mission of providing security for Forrestal jets on takeoff. The crash occurred 3 to 5 miles from the Forrestal. "According to reports, no one ... observed the impact and no one heard a mayday or distress call," said Navy spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Jim Lois. Lois described the SH-3 Sea King as "the most doggone reliable plane I've ever flown." The helicopter was attached to Anti-Submarine Squadron Three out of Mayport, Fla. Among the missing are Cmdr. Paul Lawrence Nelson of Jacksonville, Fla., one of the helicopter's two pilots and squadron commander. Identities of the other two missing men were not available early Monday. The three rescued crew members were reported in "good, stable condition." One was treated at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital for swallowing seawater and aviation fuel. oreg 9/14/81 === Page 58 of 64 80 new blazes # Lightning sparks Oregon fires Firefighters were aided by cooler weather and rain showers Friday as they faced about 80 new forest and range fires sparked by overnight lightning storms that struck from the Oregon-California border to the Columbia Gorge. Meanwhile, a 500-acre fire continued to burn uncontained in Washington's Olympic National Park but light showers kept the fire from spreading. The new Oregon fires included a 180-acre blaze in old-growth timber on the east flank of Black Butte, about 10 miles northwest of Sisters, according to the U.S. Forest Service. About 100 firefighters were fighting that fire Friday night. It was one of more than 50 sparked by lightning in Central Oregon's Deschutes National Forest, said Hubert Mapes, night fire coordinator for the Forest Service. The firefighters were helped by clouds and fog in the area, and a chance of showers was forecast for Saturday, Mapes said. The other fires were smaller, said Mike Gouette, assistant regional coordinator. No estimate of a containment or control time was made for the Black Butte fire, which did not threaten any homes. Forest Service crews also were unable to estimate a time of containment for another blaze that had burned about 100 acres some 20 miles south of Silver Lake. That fire was one of about 20 reported in Fremont National Forest, Gouette said. Several smaller fires were controlled or contained Friday in Willamette, Rogue River and Mount Hood national forests. The Oregon Department of Forestry reported 34 small fires in the Sisters, Bend and La Pine areas and four others in Klamath and Lake counties, but only one more than one acre. Spokeswoman Linda Gabrielson said about 100 firefighters had completed fire lines around a 100-acre fire near Foster Butte in Lake County. It was burning in logging slash. No estimated time of control was available, she said. Another earlier fire that was started by a truck accident on Interstate 5 burned more than 35 acres near Sexton Mountain, about 12 miles north of Grants Pass. It was controlled at 10 p.m. Thursday, Ms. Gabrielson said. About 20 miles to the southeast, fire crews continued to mop up after the Tin Pan Peak Fire, which burned 2,350 acres before crews controlled it Thursday night. Ms. Gabrielson said that fire, which burned a mobile home, a car and a barn, was caused by a discarded cigarette. About 1 p.m., crews controlled a 400-acre brush fire caused by lightning about 40 miles northeast of Lakeview, said Don Smurthwaite, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. BLM crews had extinguished a half-dozen other small fires by Friday, he said. Fire danger remained high in southern and eastern Oregon, and little precipitation was expected in the dry areas Saturday, Ms. Gabrielson said. Only a steady rain over a period of time would lower the fire danger, she said. Portland received 0.15 of an inch of rain as of 8 p.m. Friday, equaling the total rainfall in Portland for August, the National Weather Service reported. Partly cloudy weather was forecast for Saturday and Sunday after morning clouds, with a 20 percent chance of rain Saturday.

(AP) -- A man who bet a beer that he could swim three miles to a Gulf Coast island is the second person to die after a shark attack in Florida waters this year, officials say. Manatee County authorities said Mark Meeker, 26, a Tampa bartender, drowned after a shark took an 8-inch piece out of his right leg. Six weeks ago, a secretary died off the Atlantic Coast after being attacked by a shark. Meeker disappeared Tuesday afternoon after diving off Anna Maria City Pier in an attempt to swim to Egmont Key, three miles across choppy waters and strong tidal currents in the mouth of Tampa Bay. His body was found Wednesday morning, the drawstring of his bathing suit wrapped tightly around his right thigh as a make-shift tourniquet. Authorities said he drowned after either going into shock or becoming exhausted. Dr. Stephen Pelham, Manatee County medical examiner, said Friday that Meeker's wound was the result of a shark attack. "The marks are consistent with a shark bite," he said. Since sharks have several rows of teeth, a wound left by a shark will generally show other cuts above and below the bite. Meeker's leg had such cuts, he said. Sheriff's deputy Mark Rominger said Meeker, Meeker's girlfriend, Angie Tucker, and several other friends were on the pier on the south side of Tampa Bay when the bet was made. Rominger said the friends told him they became worried when they lost sight of Meeker after he was just a few hundred yards out. After trying to get a boat to go after him themselves, they alerted the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard used a helicopter and three vessels that evening but gave up the search at nightfall. The skipper of the private fishing boat Sea Jeep spotted the body the next morning. Aug. 10, Christy Wapniarski died after being attacked by a shark while struggling to reach shore a few miles off Daytona Beach. Miss Wapniarski, 19, was attacked while trying to swim to shore from a capsized sailboat. She died after a shark took a large bite out of her leg. Lightning sets new Oregon fires By ROLLA J. CRICK Journal Staff Writer A moderately intense lightning storm moved across Southern Oregon and Northern California to set a series of small forest fires Wednesday night and further plague fire crews that have been battling the area since the weekend. "We haven't had rain in more than 70 days and every strike ignited something," said a dispatcher for the Rogue River National Forest. His remark was echoed by dispatchers for the Siskiyou and Klamath National Forests. Dispatchers added that because of the number of crews already in the area, none of the lightning-set fires appeared to be of major status. A forest fire on state and private land that threatened several homes between Rogue River and Gold Hill was trailed near noon Wednesday, but there is still no estimate for a time of control. Ralph C. Voris Jr., Oregon Forestry Department information assistant, said the blaze, known as the Tin Pan Peak fire, has cost $265,000 so far in suppression efforts. No damage figure has been set, but the fire burned a trailer home, some outbuildings and a car and slightly damaged six residences. Voris said about 200 firefighters remained on the line and that five tankers, 12 pumpers and three bulldozers still were committed. Cause of the fire has not been determined, but it began near the road close to Valley of the Rogue State Park. John Boro, an investigator for the state Department of Forestry, said the Mount Harris fire, which blackened 850 acres of private timber and grass lands 10 miles north of La Grande, was caused by a careless smoker. Boro said his investigation indicated an ashtray dumped from a vehicle along Mount Harris Road provided the embers to light the fire. No estimate of a control time has been made, but a trail was bulldozed around the fire late Wednesday. Six new man-caused fires were reported across Oregon Wednesday. Three were in the Astoria area, two in Southwestern Oregon and one in Eastern Oregon. All were brought under control. Aircraft made several water drops Wednesday on a small forest fire burning on a ridge in the Olympic National Park in Washington. The fire was sighted by the crew of a Forest Service reconnaissance plane about 40 miles south of Port Angeles. 3 lost in crash of Navy copter NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Three men were missing and presumed dead after an SH-3 Sea King helicopter with six men aboard crashed 350 miles east of the Virginia coast yesterday, the Navy said. Three of the crewmen were rescued about 25 minutes after the crash, and were reported in stable condition. Cmdr. Jim Lois, spokesman for the U.S. Atlantic Fleet Naval Air Force, said no distress message was received from the helicopter before the crash and that no one observed the impact. The helicopter, attached to Naval Helicopter Anti-Submarine Warfare Squadron 3 based in Mayport, Fla., was flying a routine mission off the aircraft carrier Forrestal, which is returning to its home port in Mayport after a seven-month Mediterranean deployment. Other aircraft began a search after the helicopter was reported overdue, Lois said. Lois said a helicopter crew pulled the survivors from the ocean, and returned them to the Forrestal. Two of the survivors were being treated aboard the carrier. The third was flown to the Norfolk Naval Air Station, then transferred to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition last night. The spokesman said he had swallowed sea water and possibly some aviation fuel. The names of the missing and injured were withheld until relatives could be notified. Fire hits U.S. carrier; crew escapes injury TOKYO (UPI) -- A U.S. aircraft carrier operating in the Indian Ocean caught fire but no one was injured, the U.S. Navy announced Thursday. A spokesman for the Yokosuka-based 7th Fleet said the fire broke out Wednesday evening aboard the 60,300-ton USS America but that firefighters put out the flames before anyone was hurt. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. The fire apparently did not impair the ship's operation. The America "remained capable of performing her mission" after the fire, the spokesman said. The Navy also said a SH-3 Sikorsky helicopter from the America crashed in the Indian Ocean but all four crewmen aboard were rescued safely. The cause of the incident was not immediately known. === Page 60 of 64 THE FAR SIDE / GARY LARSON I daresay there's a woman in Grass Valley who believes in UFO's U.S. needs a Malraux By PETE HAMILL NEW YORK -- In the heady days before the fall, Richard Nixon once confided to an interviewer that his favorite world statesman was Charles de Gaulle. He and de Gaulle, Nixon said, were very much alike. Among many distinctions evident at the time, however, one was crucial. De Gaulle's most intimate adviser was a great writer named Andre Malraux, author of "Man's Fate" and "The Voices of Silence." Nixon's principal adviser at the time was H.R. Haldeman, whose major literary effort had been the production of advertising copy for Black Flag insect spray. I thought about Malraux and Haldeman the other day while reading the testimony of E.L. Doctorow before the House Interior appropriations subcommittee, which was examining proposed cuts in funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. Doctorow is, of course, one of this country's finest writers. In his testimony, Doctorow tried to make clear that art is as important to a nation as guns. That is a difficult message to deliver to the gaggle of second-rate lawyers and slumming businessmen who so often make up our governments. But I will quote from Doctorow's words at length, because they got lost in all the hardfisted blather that issued from the supply-side seminaries during the budget discussion. To me, they are about nothing less than a vision of America. "I cannot avoid the feeling that it is senseless for me to testify here," Doctorow said. "People everywhere have been put in the position of fighting piecemeal for this or that social program while the assault against all of them proceeds across a broad front. The truth is, if you're going to take away the lunches of schoolchildren, the pensions of miners who've contracted black lung, the storefront legal services of the poor who are otherwise stunned into insensibility by the magnitude of their troubles, you might as well get rid of poets, artists and musicians. "I am waiting for a rising sound of protest from the halls of Congress, but I have not yet heard declared what we all know to be true -- that the so-called economic policy issuing from its government, for all its supply-side jargon and budgetary pieties, is a simple, undeniable eviction procedure, a brutal eviction not only of widows and children but all citizens except the already privileged, all interests except those of wealth and business. "And so in my testimony for this small program I am aware of the larger picture and, really, it stuns me. What I see in this picture is a kind of Sovietizing of American life, guns before butter, the plating of the nation with armaments, the sacrifice of everything in our search for ultimate security. "We shall become an immense armory. But inside this armory there will be nothing. Not a people but an emptiness. We shall be an armory around nothingness, and our true strength and security and the envy of the world -- the passion and independent striving of a busy, working and dreaming population committed to fair play and the struggle for some sort of real justice and community -- will be no more." I'm certain that this would be a better country if a man like Doctorow had regular access to a man like Ronald Reagan. Someone in the White House should speak for a human vision, for poetry, for social complexity, for life instead of death.

The reservation fire, about five miles east of Omak, was expected to be contained by Sunday morning, said Donna Cox, a U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs fire dispatcher. Crews had built a fire line around three-fourths of the grass and brush fire by early Saturday night, she said. Rain Friday night and calm weather Saturday "slowed it down really good," Mrs. Cox said. The fire was expected to be controlled by 10 a.m. Sunday, she said. First reported Friday afternoon as a 5-acre hayfield fire, the blaze spread rapidly as winds gusted to 30 mph. She said earlier reports to the BIA that the fire had burned 14,000 acres "come from a rural fire department that had its figures wrong." Pat Quill, a BIA fire control officer, said the fire apparently was sparked by a hay baler working in a hot, dry field. Campers in three mobile homes in the path of the fire were evacuated safely, and no injuries were reported among the 250 firefighters battling the blaze. Eleven firefighters were at the scene of a 500-acre Olympic National Park fire Saturday in northwestern Washington, while 20 U.S. Forest Service firefighters were rerouted and sent to the Colville fire, according to park ranger Woody Jones. The flames were still uncontained, but humid weather and temperatures in the lower 40s Saturday "put the fire in check," Jones said. Near freezing overnight temperatures were being forecast. "Looks like we got her now," he said. A fire is contained when it is surrounded by a line and its spread stopped and controlled when crews begin extinguishing it. The fire apparently was started by lightning more than a week ago, but it smoldered for days before spreading across the ridges of hemlock and fir. The eastern side of the fire, which was on a ridge with a 1,500-foot drop, remained a trouble spot because of the danger to the firefighters, Jones said. Another large fire had burned at least 1,000 acres and was out of control on steep, rocky terrain in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest some 45 miles northwest of Redding in Northern California. About 150 firefighters were trying to contain it. Oregon firefighters contained the 210-acre Black Butte fire near Sisters by 6 p.m. Saturday, said Hubert Mapes, night fire coordinator for the Forest Service. Crews hoped to have it controlled by 6 p.m. Sunday, Mapes said. About 500 persons were dispatched to fight that fire, which was burning on the wooded east flank of the butte. The 35-acre Gunsight fire, also near Sisters in the Deschutes National Forest, was controlled Friday night. Forest Service officials said lightning storms sparked 146 Oregon fires -- mostly small ones -- and 240 in Washington Friday night. However, the humid weather aided in controlling many of them. Don Smurthwaite, a U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokesman, said crews extinguished several small fires on BLM land and controlled a 400-acre fire Friday. He said the Plush fire was controlled about 1 p.m. Friday after it burned some 400 acres of brush 40 miles northeast of Lakeview. oreg 9/20/81 Social chaos could result, panel warns By WARREN BROWN LA Times-Washington Post Service WASHINGTON -- A government advisory panel warned Sunday that President Reagan's economic policies will result in fewer jobs, greater welfare dependency and a higher crime rate "that could lead to social chaos." The exceptionally sharp criticism was made in the final report of the 15-member National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity, a congressionally created body whose members are presidential appointees. The 14-year-old council is to be abolished under the Reagan administration. Adding to the sting of the council's parting shot was a separate statement by its chairman, Arthur I. Blaustein, who accused the administration of "separating economic theory from social policy and pursuing the former at the expense of the latter...." "There is a price to be paid for the reduction of human and social services," Blaustein said. "That price is that these cutbacks will not reduce crime; they will increase it. They will not promote better family life; they will destabilize it. They will not increase respect for the law; they will weaken it." The council chairman said that Oct. 1, when the administration's $35 billion cuts in social and other federal spending take effect, "will be remembered as a day of infamy, for it will mark the worst massacre of social and human service programs in American history." oreg 9/21/81 B8 8/12/81 THE OREGONIAN, WE Radar balloon breaks away -- UFOs 6 Projects oreg WASHINGTON (AP) -- A 180-foot-long Air Force balloon that normally uses radar to watch for low-flying aircraft intruding into U.S. airspace has come down in the Gulf of Mexico after breaking away from its tether Monday night, Air Force officials said Tuesday. The unmanned balloon, called Seek Skyhook, snapped the 12,000-foot-long cable connecting it to 8/12/81. Cudjoe Key Air Force Station, Fla., and drifted some 65 miles west of Key West, officials said. They reported the Coast Guard was en route to recover it from the water. Air Force specialists describe the balloon as a radar early warning craft using "low-cost surveillance radar" to watch for low-flying aircraft that might be heading for the southeastern United States from the direction of Cuba. They said reports that the balloon carries equipment used for eavesdropping electronically on Cuba were incorrect. The loss of the balloon, they said, reduces somewhat the radar surveillance coverage, but they said land-based radar sites at Key West and Richmond, Fla. are able to watch over the area. === Page 63 of 64 Rust afflicts reactor heat exchangers By MATTHEW L. WALD New York Times News Service NEW YORK -- A major component of Consolidated Edison Co.'s 8-year-old Indian Point 2 nuclear plant is corroding far faster than originally expected, and the utility fears the plant may have to be shut down for a full year for repairs costing $100 million. The problem, involving rust in a bundle of tubing called a steam generator, also affects 16 other reactors around the country. Four of them have been shut down for the protracted, expensive repairs, and another is scheduled to shut down soon. Steam generators are designed to last for the 40-year life of a nuclear plant, but Con Edison estimates that repair at the 873-megawatt plant may be necessary sooner, possibly as little as four years from now. Rusting has also been found in the twin Indian Point 3 plant, which is 5 years old and produces 965 megawatts, but that plant's operator, the Power Authority of the State of New York, is making no predictions about it. Besides the repair costs, which will increase with inflation, shutting down the nuclear plant would force the utility to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to replace the electricity that would be lost. The steam generators' tubes -- carrying hot, radioactive water from the reactor's uranium core -- are immersed in non-radioactive water that drives the plant's turbines. If the tubes crack or leak, the clean water is contaminated. At Indian Point 2, a leak during testing earlier this year caused a small release of radioactivity from the plant. Opponents of the Indian Point plants say that if the utilities announce plans to replace the steam generators, they will lobby for the reactors' retirement. "There is no evidence that the replacement is better than the original," said Robert Pollard, formerly a Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff member assigned to Indian Point and now a nuclear safety engineer with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a group opposed to nuclear power. Indian Point 2's four steam generators and those at the four reactors that have been or are to be replaced were all built by Westinghouse about the same time, in the early 1970s. The Florida Power and Light Co. recently began replacement work on its Turkey Point Unit 3; Unit 4 will undergo the same repairs in coming months. The cost is put at $68 million each, plus about $750,000 a day for replacement power for each of the twin 666-megawatt units, but other repairs will be accomplished in the same shutdown. Southern California Edison's San Onofre 1, a smaller, 1968 Westinghouse unit in San Clemente, also shut down last year for repairs, at a cost of about $60 million plus power. It is not clear yet to the utility or the NRC whether the repair will entirely solve the problem. Besides Indian Point 3, reactors facing the possibility of replacement are Millstone 2 in Waterford, Conn., manufactured by Combustion Engineering and owned by Northeast Utilities; another Combustion Engineering plant, Palisades, in South Haven, Mich., owned by the Consumers Power Co.; and two other Westinghouse-manufactured plants, the Carolina Power and Light Co.'s H.B. Robinson 2 plant in Hartsville, S.C., and the Wisconsin Electric Power Co.'s Point Beach 1 in Two Creeks, Wis. All the plants have made attempts to stop the corrosion. oreg 9/21/81 # Ammo-laden jet explodes; 65 hurt - UFOs - 6 Projects - oreg 9/21/81 INDIAN SPRINGS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (UPI) -- An Air Force plane carrying live ammunition crashed and exploded in flames Monday in the Nevada desert, injuring at least 65 people, 21 of them seriously, Air Force officials said. An Air Force spokesman said 21 passengers and crew members of the C-130 cargo plane have been hospitalized with broken bones and other serious injuries suffered in the fiery crash. He said 44 people were treated for minor injuries and and released from hospitals. No deaths have been confirmed, but "there is a possibility there may have been others aboard the plane," said Col. David Wallace. "We still have people on the scene fighting the fire," he said three hours after the crash. There was no information on a possible cause of the crash. Wallace said a series of explosions that ripped the aircraft may have ignited fuel tanks. Shortly after the crash, Wallace said live ammunition was believed to have caused the explosions. The plane crashed one mile short of the landing strip at Indian Springs Air Force Base, an auxiliary facility to Nellis Air Force Base, Wallace said. The Air Force declined to say where the C-130 was based or to disclose its flight assignment, except to say it was on a routine night training mission. That type of aircraft normally is not assigned to Nellis or Indian Springs air bases. The giant cargo aircraft was landing during a routine training mission when the crash occurred at 12:20 a.m. PDT. C-130s routinely can be equipped for electronic warfare and parachute, resupply or cargo drops. The plane could have been carrying ammunition for cargo-drop training, an Air Force spokesman said. - UFOs 6 Project - # Hunters seek mad killer hog AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) -- Hunters with trail hounds gathered Friday to pursue a berserk 300-pound wild hog that has attacked seven horses and a mule -- mortally wounding two of them. Authorities warned residents not to leave their children outside alone. The "long-haired, long-tusked" boar, standing 3 feet tall at the shoulders, slashed a pony so severely Thursday that it had to be destroyed. Police summoned fired three shots at the hog but missed. State Department of Natural Resources wardens set out on the boar's trail with dogs and followed it into a densely wooded area before the hounds lost it. DNR spokesman Gib Johnson said the hunters waited until sunup, when the dew would hold the hog's scent, to resume the hunt. The unprovoked attacks on far-larger animals are unprecedented, Johnson said. "Nobody has seen anything like this pig," he said. "We can't explain it. This one has certainly raised some questions that haven't been raised before." === Page 64 of 64 # Blackout halts New York rush hour NEW YORK -- (UPI) -- An explosion and fire at a power station blacked out large sections of Lower Manhattan yesterday, shutting down Wall Street, trapping hundreds of people on elevators, halting subways and creating rush-hour chaos on the streets. It was the city's third major power failure in 16 years and lasted for more than four hours. Times Square turned into a sea of confusion as commuters fled stalled trains underground. Debbie Davis, 27, a paralegal secretary, said she was trying to get to her home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. "It's insane. I'm just furious. I'm not going to get home until 8," she fumed. "It's absolute havoc," said Nat Scheider, 59, a textile salesman who was heading for home in suburban Rockland County. "But I've lived in New York City all my life and nothing can upset me any more." No serious injuries were reported in the explosion at a Consolidated Edison substation near the East River, but it took 2 1/2 hours for fire fighters to extinguish the fire. The exact cause was unknown but fire fighters found oil leaking from a transformer. Mayor Edward Koch said police rescued about 300 people from stalled elevators in apartments and office buildings. City Hall was among the landmarks blacked out by the failure, but power was restored quickly by an emergency generator. Police rescued several hundred people trapped in stalled elevators in office and apartment buildings. High-rise dwellers hiked up pitch-black staircases with only lighted candles to guide them. The blackout extended from Times Square to the Battery, affecting 52,000 customers, including homes, businesses and skyscrapers. The failure occurred at 3:25 p.m. Full power was restored by Con Ed at 7:53 p.m. The blackout forced the American and New York Stock Exchanges, as well as many other businesses, to close early. Many buildings were evacuated. Subway service in Lower Manhattan came to a standstill as the system's lighting and signal operations shut down. But the trains, which operate on a separate power source, were able to reach the nearest station to evacuate passengers. Approximately 3.5 million people use the subway system in the evening rush hour. Thousands of workers walked home across the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. There were no reports of looting or vandalism as in the city-wide blackout on July 13, 1977.
