"Then one stewardess started screaming 'Get out, get at the top of- her lungs, and everyone started scrambling." There was no panic," said Warren Herrgott of Phoenix. "There waafone stewardess who started screaming for people to get off, and her screaking really was the thing that cataed things down. There was a temptation for everybody to start shoving." Desert Springs Hospital spokeswoman Dee Garlington said five people were taken to the hospital for Xays and examination of bumpsjind bruises. None of the injuries war believed serious, she said. The Minneapolis-based airlifte's safety procedures became the suject of a federal inquiry this month ater two recent incidents in which Republic pilots were forced to make unscheduled landings because of mismanaged fuel supplies.

On May 28, a Republic DC9-30 j'ith 86 people aboard landed in Ariaona when the pilots discovered they'tad nearly run out of fuel. Investigators said the crew apparently forgot tjl refuel before the flight took off, and the plane had only 30 seconds' wort of fuel left when it landed. LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) A Republic Airlines DC-9 aborted on takeoff Friday after an engine caught fire, and several passengers were slightly injured as they slid down emergency chutes to safety. A Federal Aviation Administration official said the incident occurred shortly before 2:30 p.m.

The plane carried 84 passengers and a crew of five, Republic spokesman Bob Gibbons said from Minneapolis, adding it was not immediately clear what caused the incident. Flames were visible from the right No. 2 engine on the aircraft, which was preparing to take off from McCar-ran International Airport, said Bob Mikes, FAA area manager. "The pilot noticed a problem with the engine and shut it down," said J.J. Balk, airport spokesman.

"They popped the chutes and people jumped out, riding down the chutes." Balk said the plane was halfway down the runway when the engine apparently caught fire. The pilot cut the engine and the plane rolled onto the high speed taxi-way, he said. The evacuation was orderly, except for some initial confusion as the plane came to a halt, said passenger Bill Thompson of Mesa, Another passenger, Mark Franco of Phoenix, said crew members wants America to be "dry" once again. It seeks a return total ban on the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcohol, which the party platform decries as the "chief cause of poverty, broken homes, juvenile delinquency, vice, crime, political corruption, wasted manpower and highway accidents in America." But the party's beliefs go beyond banning the bottle, says Dodge. "We are concerned for protecting the family and the home," he said.

This involves economic planks in our platform and also planks that deal with morality. We see a lot of things that are happening today the legal spread of pornography, abortion, liquor and drug use and other things of this type as a threat to the family." The national convention began Thursday with a prayer and the hymn, "Blessed Assurance" and had strong religious overtones throughout. The party platform acknowledges "Almighty Cod as the source of all just government" and includes planks calling for constitutional amendments to allow prayer and Bible reading in public schools and tougher divorce laws. The platform also advocates a return to the gold standard and a balanced federal budget, voluntary participation in the Social Security program, elimination of the Department MANDAN, N.D. (AP) Prohibition in the United States was repealed 50 years ago, but the Prohibition Party hasn't given up its battle against the bottle.

The party concluded a two-day tional convention here Friday. Forty-five delegates from 10 states met at the "dry" Lewis and Clark Hotel and nominated Earl F. Dodge of La-kewood, for president of the United States. The Prohibition Party, with headquarters in Denver, numbers "about a thousand people whose names we have and who support us financially," says Dodge, the party's national chairman. But he estimates "about 250,000 people would consider themselves pro-' hibitionists" and subscribe to the party's beliefs.

Dodge, 50, has no illusions about the probable success of his presidential campaign. The party operates on an annual budget of about $60,000. In 1980 it was on the ballot in just eight states and its presidential candidate then got only about 7,500 votes. But Dodge believes anything he can do to spread the party's message is worth the effort. "We run because of our beliefs and because we feel people should have a choice," he says.

The 18th Amendment outlawed alcoholic beverages in 1920 and was repealed in 1933.

Man who polluted areas offers apology ROSATI, Mo.

(AP) The man who sprayed dioxin-laced oil over Missouri roads and yards has offered his neighbors an emotional apology, saying, "God only knows if I'd known about this, I wouldn't have put it on your ground, much less on my own." Waste-oil hauler Russell Bliss made a rare public appearance Thursday night at a meeting called by federal officials to discuss new dioxin test results with about 80 residents. The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that dioxin had been found along a rural road near Rosati in concentrations of up to 1,800 parts per billion six times higher than those found in Times Beach, which the federal government bought from residents. Bliss owns a horse farm near Rosati which has been found to be contaminated with dioxin. "I apologize for spraying dioxin on your road," Bliss said. "Would I have sprayed it on my own horse arena if I thought it was dangerous?" he asked.

Some residents applauded loudly, and several said later that they be lieved Bliss had meant no harm. But others were hostile, particulary those who believed their children or grandchildren would be harmed. "The dioxin was only found at a few sites, but it's all over the national news that Rosati has dioxin at so many times higher levels than Times Beach," said Dale Edwards, 35. The federal government has offered to temporarily relocate three families near Rosati whose properties contain high levels of dioxin, but none of the families had decided whether to accept the offer after the meeting. ffre IN TODAY BACK TOMORROW OR THEY'RE FREE!
