He was production foreman and manager of development for Goodyear's molded and extruded rubber goods plant in St. Marys, Ohio, before being named manager of industrial products development in Akron in 1957.

The woman was identified as Maryann Remerowski. Her age was not available. Two other victims were a couple from Milwaukee.

All others killed were from Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Florida. L'Express Flight 508, carrying 15 people, struck the house amid pounding rain and lightning, catching fire on impact. The pilot and a lawyer on the flight survived. The Beechcraft C-99 twin-turboprop plane sheared off part of one house, crossed a street and slammed into another house, where Carolyn McCreary was watching television with her aunt and uncle. The flight from New Orleans was on final approach to Birmingham's Municipal Airport after a stop in Mobile, where 12 of the 13 passengers boarded.

The pilot, Francis Fernandez, 54, of Niceville, was found alive about 70 feet from the crash site. His condition was upgraded to fair yesterday at Birmingham's University Hospital, where he was being treated for head and chest injuries.

Afthe flames on his told him to follow back door, but he way in the burning jumped out a The financially troubled airline bought the airplane 10 days before the crash. Bruce Nobles, the company's president, said the plane had been refurbished and was in excellent shape, so there was no reason to believe the crash was caused by mechanical problems. National Transportation Safety Board investigators began assembling evidence Thursday to determine the cause of the crash.

The craft's cockpit voice recorder box was found yesterday morning, but no details of its contents were released. Neither survivor gave any public statement. The case of Dr. Philip Benson is the only case he knows of in Minnesota where there is reason to ask patients to be tested to see if they might have been infected with the AIDS virus. There have been no reports of any of Benson's patients having the virus, even though he had sores on his hands.

I Neither the federal Centers for Disease Control, nor any other federal health agency nor the World Health Organization has recommended "lookbacks" AIDS-virus tests for the patients of an infected doctor unless there is some special reason for concern. Five "lookbacks" of surgeon's patients have been done in other states. None has found any evidence that any of the surgeons spread the virus. wood.
