Soviet Satellite Wreckage Found Y3A WC AVTa Garden City Telegram Monday, January 30, 1978 Page 3 The Markets BAKER LAKE, Northwest Territories (AP) A Canadian-American search team struggled through waist-high snow Sunday to the edge of a crater nearly 10 feet across in the ice on the Tnelon River and found wreckage from a runaway Soviet nuclear satellite. Lt. Col. Donald Davidson of the Canadian Armed Forces told a news conference early today that tubing and a perforated metal canister were found protruding from the ice. Paul Murda, leader of a five-man U.S.

scientific crew, said the canister was "sort of like a cylinder that got smashed" while the tubing "looks like structural tubing." "Something has really gone through that ice at a high speed," said Davidson. "This is all that's left sticking out, or maybe separate pieces. We don't know. We didn't pull it apart." A Chinook helicopter took the 13-member crew from Baker Lake to the crater 180 miles to the southwest after it was found by two of the six members of a Canadian-American team tering in the area on a wildlife survey for the Northwest Territories government. The debris from the nuclear-powered Cosmos- 954 satellite that fell from orbit last Tuesday was found eight miles northeast of the landing strip at Warden's Grove, a weather outpost in the Dubawnt Lake area 1,000 miles north of the North Dakoba border.

Davidson said the two men made a sled trip up the Thelon River Saturday and encountered the crater on their return. He said one of the two men touched the metal with a gloved hand. Both men were flown Sunday to University Hospital in Edmonton for tests, while the other four were flown to a hospital in Yellowknife. The team consists of five Americans and one Canadian. Davidson said the search team talked with the wildlife surveyors at their camp and then went up again in the helicopter.

Using detection equipment, they located a source of radiation about eight miles from the camp. The helicopter landed on a rock outcropping about 1,000 yards from the site. The team moved forward on foot through deep snow, taking continuous radiation readings. "We kept moving forward and didn't find any (excessive radiation) and we were able to go right up to the edge of the crater," Davidson reported. A crater nearly 10 feet across had been blasted in the ice by the heat of the object.

About a foot and a half of water had refrozen in it. Around it were 50 to 100 puncture marks which Davidson said may have been made by pieces of metal or by ice thrown up from the impact. "It's quite possible there's something under there but we couldn't see it," he said. Tom Crites, a U.S. health physicist, and Davidson reached the crater first.

Next came Murda and Pvt. Mona Wilson, a female member of the Canadian Forces nuclear accident survey team. The team was on the site for about two hours, returning to Baker Lake about three hours after dusk. Meanwhile, a team of paratroopers were sent for to cordon off the crater.

Still listed in guarded condition is James Strickert, 56, Rt.

1, Scott City, driver of the school van. Two of his passengers, Drannon Wright, 7, and Darren Wright, 13, were listed in good condition. Another passenger, E. L. Catlette, 12, went home Sunday.

Ten persons were injured in the 8 a.m. accident that occurred four miles north of Scott City on US 83. Six had been released by Tuesday. Killed was Rocklin E. Horacek, 17, driver of the passenger car.

Officers of the Kansas Highway Patrol said Horacek was nothh bound and Strickert was southbound when their two vehicles collided. "Things are getting better every day," Dennis Kwaitkowski, head of the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration's snow removal project in Ohio, said Sunday. Ohio expected 1 to 4 inches of fresh snow today, with temperatures no higher than the 20s, and officials expressed hope that it would not create new cleanup problems. Other states also struggled to recover from the devastating storm: Michigan, where 19 died and 15,000 travelers were stranded, many roads are still under 12-foot drifts. In the Lansing area, some sheriff's deputies made their rounds on snowshoes.

The roofs on at least five buildings have collapsed. Michigan State University planned to reopen today after two days of canceled classes last week. offices, schools and roads were opened today. O'Hare Airport was open but running behind schedule. Indiana received 2 to 4 inches of new snow Sunday.

Scattered power outages were reported. Kentucky, 208 National Guardsmen who had helped with rescue operations were deactivated. Schools were to remain closed, and the forecast was for more snow today. The biggest problem was on the Ohio River, where 100 wayward coal and grain barges had broken free from moorings between Pittsburgh and Louisville some had slammed into dams. Virginia, where snow and driving winds preceded weekend flooding in almost all sections, the forecast was for more snow tonight and Tuesday.

Ehrlichman Visits Mother LOS ANGELES (AP) John D. Ehrlichman is due back in prison Tuesday after a threeday furlough to visit his ailing mother. Ehrlichman, one-time adviser to former President Richard Nixon, has served more than a year in the federal prison at Safford, on a one-to-four year sentence for conspiracy in connection with the Watergate coverup. He is to be released in August. WASHINGTON (AP) The death rate in the Soviet Union for children under 14 with the Russin flu has exceeded 30 percent, an American health team reported today.

The death rate there for children 15 and older was 8.5 percent, Dr. Michale Gregg of the Center for Disease Control told a government conference on the Russian flu. For the entire Russian population, the death rate was 12.4 percent for people with the flu. Experts at the conference were considering whether to recommend an immunization program against the Russian flu, which has broken out among high school students in Cheyenne, Wyo. It would take at least two months to prepare and test a vaccine.

The flu is similar to viruses that struck from 1947 to 1950, and health experts say persons between ages 24 and 50 have strong resistance to the Russian flu. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph A. Califano asked the panel to assess whether a serious outbreak of this new strain of flu was likely "during the remainder of this flu season or the next flu season." He also asked it to consider "the nature and extent of this threat," and to weigh the risks and benefits of developing a vaccine. In 1976 the government's swine flu immunization program was halted after some persons who received that vaccine fell victim to a paralyzing disease. The swine flu never spread across the country as the government had feared.

Surgeon General Dr. Julius Richmond said the advisory panel may recommend that only persons in high-risk groups, such as those with heart disease or bronchitis, be vaccinated against the Russian flu. "Whether they'd recommend any broad-scale immunization remains to be seen," said Richmond, HEW assistant secretary health. the for Communica tions 'Gap' Hits Campus Students at Garden City Community College thinking of starting a messenger service would have been in a buyer's market Monday morning. Telephones, according to one secretary who declined to be identified, "were totally screwed up." Incoming calls, instead of ringing at the main office, were automatically transferred to the dean of admission's office.

Outgoing calls were impossible, as were calls between eight campus buildings. "They're (Southwestern Bell servicemen) are working on it. That's all I can tell you," she said. "At first when people would call in, we'd pick it up and we could hear them but they couldn't hear us. Then I don't know what happened.

"It's terrible. We can't call out unless you leave campus. It's like a desert or something, you can't operate." At least one phone, a private line in the president's office, was in working order. That enabled officials to notify telephone servicemen. "I guess we're learning how people operated before they had phones," said Larry Fowler, dean of admission, laughing at the predicament.

"We'll just send a lot of messengers and get it done that way." 450 Evacuated in KC Apartment Fire (Related Stories Page 1) KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) An early morning fire forced evacuation of 450 residents from an apartment complex on the edge of the Country Club Plaza, and police said 17 persons suffered minor injuries. The fire at the Twin Oaks apartment complex was the fourth major fire in Kansas Translation Job' Facing Kansas GOP TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas now face the job of attempting to translate enthusiasm and hope expressed at their annual party celebration into votes in 1978 election. Party officials and members attending the Saturday night that climaxed the GOP of the state's 117th birthday heard Robert Ray of Iowa predict that 1978 can toe a very good year for Republicans.

Ray said that defeatism, brought on by the Joss of the presidency and a Congress over- controlled by Democrats, has igiven way to optimisnv He said the drop in the popularity of Carter has been the sharpest in History, at least in Jowa, and noted: "Here in Kansas I find a lot of enthusiasm 'on the part of Republicans. I "You have so many great candidates for Jthe U. S. Senate. You also have a great in Robert F.

Bennett. With that kind talent, Republicans should do very well." Nearly 900 party officials and members attended the dinner. Earlier, eight announced or prospective candidates for Republican nomination to the U. S. Senate had a chance to state their cases at a Republican Veterans Club luncheon, and the party's state committee voted to demand a loyalty oath from candidates seeking party nominations.

If there was a common theme for the Senate hopefuls, it was that each considered himself or herself as having the best bet of beating the likely Democratic nominee, former Congressman Bill Roy. Addressing the veterans group were four announced Sens. Norman Gaar, Westwood, and Jan Meyers, Overland Park; Samuel Hardage, Wichita, and Derly Schuster, Shawnee; and four potential candidates: Wayne Angell, Ottawa, who said he- would announce formally in February; Roger Grund, Lamed, who said he is the least likely of the group to make the race; Dr. Ralph Reed, Lawrence, who said he plans to announce in the near future, and Lt. Gov.

Shelby Smith, who said he is very defintely giving consideration to making the race. At least one other potential candidate, Nancy Landon Kassebaum, Maize, did not accept an invitation to appear. Under the resolution adopted by the state committee, candidates would be asked to sign pledges and file them with the state party headquarters, that they will support the eventual nomination winners. Gov. Bennett, titular head of the party and a candidate for renomination, sharply criticized citizens who consider themselves independents as opposed to party members.

"Independents constitute the bulk of voters in Kansas now," the governor told the state committee. "This must be reversed. "Good government does not happen by accident. It happens by design. "Both parties are integral to this process." Bennett praised the enthusiasm of the party gathering.

"More people are talking about victory; less about defeat," he said. "More people are talking about unity; fewer about division. We Can win in November. We can win back the attorney general's office; we can continue with two Republican U. S.

Senators; We can capture most of the Congressional seats. The committee split over a resolution which would have in effect endorsed the governor's recommendations in the field of corrections, including a proposal for construction of a new prison facility in Lansing or a major expansion or renovation of the state penitentiary there. By a 35-30 vote, the committee voted to send the resolution back to an advisory group for further consideration, with a report to be made later to the state GOP executive committee or state committee. City in 48 hours. The most destructive was the fire at the Coates House hotel in downtown Kansas City before dawn Saturday.

Seven shops were extensively damaged in a south Kansas City shopping area and a 12-unit apartment in the south part of the city was destroyed Sunday morning. Fire early today chased residents from the south wing of Twin Oaks, and firemen said most of the damage appeared to be confined to the secondfloor of the building. The cause of the blaze was not determined. Police said 17 about a half dozen policemen and firefighters- were taken to hospitals, mostly for smoke inhalation. Hansen said the fire in the Brookside Plaza apparently started in a barbecue restaurant and spread to the six adjoining business.

Offices on the second floor and in the basement were also damaged, he added. The temperature was 5 degrees as the firemen fought the blaze for four hours Sunday morning. Damaged in the fire was an ice-cream parlor, a hairdressing salon, a photography studio, a barber shop, a jewelry shop and the Brookside Theater, which was being remodeled. "It looks like it's totalled right now," said Maurice Parrack, general manager of Brookside Realty Building owner of the damaged property. An estimated $80,000 damage was caused by a fire which swept through a brick apartment building Sunday afternoon.

Fire officials said three firemen were treated at the scene for face and neck burns. The fire left 14 tenants homeless. Authorities said the fire appeared to be under control shortly after firemen arrived, but natural gas escaped into the basement from a broken line and fire went up through the walls. By the time the gas was shut off, the structure was destroyed. The first firemen on the scene had only a pumper truck on loan from the Kansas City, fire department and the crew was undermanned, said Arnett Williams, battalion chief.

Other men and equipment were still at the Brookside fire. There was no indication what caused the apartment house blaze, fire officials said..
