Conf irmalion Inquirers' Class Phone 643- 1958 (Evenings 4 Weekends) 1-865-2342 (Weekdays) 66Killed Russian Jetliner Crashes NEW YORK (UPD-Soviet and Cuban officials today investigated the cause of the crash of a Soviet jetliner that was trying to make an emergency landing at the Havana airport in Cuba, killing 66 persons. Radio Havana said the Soviet Aeroflot 1L62 jet struck a power line In thick fog on approach to Jose Marti International airport. Two of the 68 persons on the plane a Russian boy and a West German woman survived, but suffered critical burns.

Fernando Garcia, an official of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, told UPI by telephone from Havana the plane crashed 1,000 yards short of the runway. Garcia said the dead included 56 passengers and all 10 members of the Soviet crew. He said officials were investigating the crash and in Moscow the Tass news agency said an investigatory commission had been established to look into the crash. The jetliner, which has a capacity of 186 passengers, was on a flight that began in Moscow and made stops in Frankfurt, West Germany and Lisbon, Portugal. An aide to S.F.

Pattee, first secretary of the Canadian embassy in Havana, reported the two survivors suffered critical burns and that one of the plane's four engines burst into flames as it made its approach to the airport. Tass reported only that ''there are human casualties," following the Soviet custom of not disclosing the number of deaths and injuries in plane crashes. The crash was the first of an Aeroflot jet airliner since February when an Ilyushin 18 turboprop crashed in Soviet Central Asia. A TU104 Aeroflot jet crash in January, killing at least 90 persons near Alma Ata in the Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. The Havana airport was closed briefly after the crash, but later sources said.

Appeal Is (Cont'd from Page l) were still hospitalized today. A convoy of 18 military ambulances one for every four passengers assembled near the train site night and authorities cleared off a nearby railway crossing. Combat-ready troops waited in armored personnel carriers and jeeps. Steel and barbed wire barriers cordoned off the track. Dutch authorities said negotiations with the estimated 10 gunmen aboard the train, including the apparent ringleaders of the operation, had entered a particularly sensitive stage.

The moves, combined with the intense activity nearby, raised the prospect of an imminment break in the five-day standoff. The gunmen seized the train and a nearby school in simultaneous attacks Monday in an effort to win Dutch government influence for independence for the South Moluccan islands from Indonesia. The terrorists released more than 100 school children Friday because an illness swept through the crowded classrooms, but they still held four teachers. About 28 of the youngsters were still in the hospital today. A government spokesman said authorities at a crisis center in nearby Assen would keep talking through the night to win the release of the hostages cramped into what railway officials said must have been "stinking conditions." The gunmen are demanding a Boeing 74? to take 1 them, 21 of their jailed colleagues and their hostages out of the country.

Passengers on the train bedded down with the help of tranquilizers the terrorists allowed on board Friday night. But the gunmen rejected food deliveries. The passengers have been subjected to hunger and terror, parching thirst and mock hangings by the gunmen. The teachers and their captors also may be in considerable discomfort since officials said they probably caught the viral infection that hit the children. Justice Minister Dries Van Agt vehemently denied suggestions authorities spiked food sent in to the children with a laxative.

"Nature helped us a bit," he said. The young hostages had many tales of their harrowing experience. "I never believed them when they told us their guns were made of Ice cream sticks," a 12-year-old girl said.

The Huntingdon trainees are: James W. McElhenny, John Robert Cirko, Dennis C. Simpson, James A. Hearn, Charles W.

Prough, Steven M. Dreibelbis, James H. Hicks, Lloyd M. Dell and Richard D. Southwell.

Instructors from the bureau's Staff Development Division covered a large variety of subjects, ranging from basic security measures to basic communication. Special areas included control of contraband, report writing, first aid, fingerprinting and identification, crisis intervention and legal aspects of corrections. According to Commissioner of Correction William B. Robinson, this is the largest class ever to graduate from the state sponsored training program. "This class was almost twice the normal size of the basic training classes at our Central Academy," said Robinson.

"As we strive to meet the expectations of today's society in the operation of its prisons, our staff training program will continue to expand, both in size and in quality." Classes ended Friday for the 30 state employes and 13 county personnel enrolled in the session. Four state correctional institutions were represented, along with county prisons in the counties of Blair, Chester, Franklin, Lancaster, Lehigh, Lycomlng and York. Fredric Rosemeyer, director of the bureau's Staff Development Division, noted that so many county wardens have requested training for their staff that classes in excess of 40 students have been scheduled for the Central Academy as far ahead as August. "Our second training school, the Eastern Academy in Dallas, is scheduled to operate at its capacity of 25 students per session well into the fall. A statistical profile of this week's graduating class at Camp Hill shows that 78 per cent of the participants are correctional officers (32) or matrons (2), while the remaining 22 per cent include a teacher, a chaplain, and various other institutional staff.

About half of the students (23) were between the ages of 20 and 30. Our Readers Write Editor The Daily News Huntingdon, Pa. 1 would like to thank you and the staff of The Dally News for the article published recently describing Pennsylvania's laws pertaining to furloughs and pre release status for Inmates confined in the state correctional Institutions. At the time of that publication the writer, Mr. Ted Swanson, was serving a life sentence.

I think he should be highly commended for his speaking out for his fellow Inmates. Due to the efforts of people working on the outside and the inmates that are interested, this can become beneficial both to the Individual inmate and society. The taxpayers are paying for the support of the men in prison and in some cases the families that have had to resort to welfare. I am happy to say that on March 4,1977, Ted has made commutation of his life sentence to 14 years to life; this makes him eligible for prc release, work release and furlough. I myself have been approved by Mr.

Hewitt, superintendent of SCI at Huntingdon for this program. I would like to express my open thanks to Mr. Larry Reeves, plant manager of Owens Corning Fiberglas for his support in my case and also the numerous people who have given me moral support and again, The Daily News.
