The victims were identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office as Robert W.

Teneyck, 32, Lisbon, N.D., the pilot; Palmer Odegard, 52, Milnor, N.D.; Steven M. Breker, 21, Rutland, N.D.; Marferd A. Kressin, 37, Gwinner, N.D., and his daughter, Susan, 12. The four men were employed by the Melroe Division, Clark Equipment Buchanan, Mich. The Melroe Division, which manufactures farm equipment, is located in Gwinner, the destination of the craft.

A company spokesman said Teneyck had flown to the Twin Cities earlier in the day to pick up the others, who were returning from business trips in other parts of the country. He said the company regularly sends its own plane to pick up traveling employees on Friday afternoons because of poor commercial airline service to the area. Raymond Glumack, director of operations for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, said the pilot reported a power failure immediately after taking off toward the northwest about 5:05 p.m. Glumack said the Cessna 411 was climbing when the pilot reported it had lost power in one of its engines. The control tower cleared the plane to return to the airport and it was circling around from the west when it crashed.

The area where the plane crashed is less than a mile west of the airport and just over a mile northwest of Metropolitan Stadium. None of the area residents was injured, though the craft narrowly missed a group of children picking lilacs.

"We're prepping to remove the back end of the (docking) probe cover now," he said. "We'll go EVA (depressurize the cabin and open its nose hatch to the vacuum of space) in a minute." Almost an hour later, Conrad reported the EVA the crew's second of the day was underway. After the docking repair, Conrad said it was bedtime for him and his exhausted crewmates.

Young people getting ready to buy beer and liquor next Friday under Minnesota's new age-of-majority law may run afoul of local ordinances which retain 21 as the legal drinking age. The state attorney general's office said Friday there is a substantial legal question involved and they won't be prepared to deliver an opinion until next week.

The new law makes 18 the age of adulthood, effective at 12:01 a.m. next Friday, June 1. It had been thought the new law would allow 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to assume all adult rights, including the right to drink alcoholic beverages. However, numerous municipalities, including St. Paul, have local laws setting 21 as the minimum drinking age.

Most probably will repeal these ordinances or amend them to conform with the state law, but this could take longer than a week. No conflict is expected in Minneapolis, where the city acted yesterday to conform with the new state law. The City Council voted, 13 to 0, to approve a resolution applying the provisions of the law to existing city ordinances regulating drinking age. Another state law says that local governments can impose more stringent liquor regulations than those set by the state. The St.

Paul city attorney said yesterday it would take at least 45 days to amend the 21-year-old provision unless the City Council declares an "emergency." The state law in question says: "Any local authority shall have power to impose further restrictions and regulations upon the sale and possession of intoxicating liquor within its limits." Should it be found that local ordinances are still in effect, it would mean that drinking by persons under 21 would be legal under state law but illegal under city ordinance. Police thus would face the question of trying to enforce the local law or winking at violations until the ordinance is changed. Herbert G.

His voice was almost drowned out by cheers and whistles from others in Mission Control, where most of Skylab's top management and many astronauts had gathered when the docking problem cropped up.

President Nixon purchased a 29-acre site for his home in San Clemente, with the help of $625,000 in loans from a family friend, the White House reported Friday. The statement denounced a California newspaper for publishing a "totally unfounded" report about two weeks ago alleging that unused campaign funds from 1968 may have been used to pay off a $l-mil-lion mortgage on the property.

The loans came from New York industrialist Robert Abplanalp, inventor of the aerosol compressed air valve, who, the statement said, now owns most of the property surrounding the Western White House. About 23 acres of the property was sold by the Nixon family on Dec. 15, 1970, to an investment holding company set. up by Abplanalp, a Nixon friend who owns Grand Cay Island in the Bahamas, a favorite presidential hideaway. The sale price to Abplanalp for the 23 acres was $1,249,000 and it left Mr.

Nixon with a net investment of $374,514 in the remain i 5.9-acre parcel that includes his bluff-top home, La Casa Pacifica, according to the statement.

By John Gehrke Staff Writer The federal parole board has granted a prison-release date of July 23 to six of the "Minnesota Eight" eight young men who broke into the draft offices in three Minnesota cities on July 10, 1970. Seven were sentenced to five years in prison, while the eighth pleaded guilty and was placed on parole. Sandstone Prison Warden Ralph L.

The last survivor of President Nixon's original presidential campaign team a political associate for 27 years is expected to join the exodus of top administration officials soon. Herbert G.

In Washington, Klein said he has signed no formal contract, has set no firm departure date and still has two other offers under consideration. But it was understood that the Metromedia position Is almost certain to be his choice. In talking with his West Coast friends, Klein indicated that he expected to be leaving the White House before the end of July, bringing an end to the association that began in 1946, when he helped a young Richard M. Nixon, then just out of the Navy, run for Congress from what was then California's 12th congressional district.

Klein had intended to depart earlier this year, but he delayed his action so it wouldn't be interpreted as a desertion of his chief at the peak of the Watergate scandal. There is no indication at this time of Klein's successor or, for that matter, if there will be one. Under a plan that was to have been announced before the Watergate disclosures precipitated a staff shake-up, Klein was to have been succeeded by Vjhis deputy, Ken W.
