Ryals said Busch officials described the proposed facility as a large food and entertainment family-oriented facility similar to the Munich-type pavillion in Williamsburg. Stork confirmed that the facility under consideration for Tampa would be similar to the Festhaus at Williamsburg, but the atmosphere would be different due to the African theme of the Tampa park, which is known as The Dark Continent. Recognizing the effect such a large facility would have in attracting additional tourists to Busch Gardens and Florida, Ryals and Culbreath urged legislators to support the bill.

Ryals told legislators he has visited the Williamsburg facility twice and always felt that if the possibility arose to get a similar facility in Tampa.necessary legislation should be enacted. In 1977, Busch Gardens in Tampa recorded just over 2.4 million visitors. The House of Representatives voted 104-5, with all members of the Hillsborough County delegation supporting the bill. The Senate approved the bill 32-0. has been under consideration for the Tampa theme park.

Thorn Stork, publicity manager for the Afri-can-themed park here, said the facility was not included in the $5 million to $10 million expansion plan recently announced by the company. The specifics of the expansion, which are to be made public in September, have yet to be approved by the Anheuser-Busch Inc. board of directors. But with the change in legislation, Stork said construction of such a facility may be presented for board consideration. The revelation that an expansion of major importance at Busch Gardens was keyed to this legislation came during speeches by Rep.

John Ryals, D-Brandon, and Rep. John Culbreath, D-Brooksville, in support of the legislation. Citing the limitations now placed on Florida breweries by the existing law, Ryals said Busch officials indicated they would like to build in Tampa a facility similar to the Festhaus at Busch Gardens' Old Country in Williamsburg, Va.

Such a possibility was brought closer to reality with the quick approval of a bill Wednesday by both the Florida House of Representatives and Senate, which expanded the ability of Florida breweries to sell alcoholic beverages. The legislation, which is expected to get quick approval by Gov. Reubin Askew, will allow breweries in Florida to hold two retail licenses for the sale of food and alcoholic beverages. Florida's breweries are now limited to one license and Busch Gardens uses its license for the Old Swiss House.

UPI Report Belgium today began a paratroop operation to evacuate foreigners whose life may be in danger in Zaire's embattled Shaba province." Seventy-eight Americans in the battle area were evacuated Wednesday in a daring rescue organized by the Idaho-based Morrison-Knudsen construction firm for its employees and dependents. An estimated 10 Americans remained behind. 1 A series of Hercules C130 air force transport planes ferrying an estimated U000 paratroopers to Zaire, began taking off from Melsbroek military airport near Brussels shortly before 4 p.m.

(10 a.m. EDT). The rescue operation was prepared by a crisis cabinet which met during the night and again this morning. Prime Minister Leo Tindemans said afterward 'that a high-level meeting was being held somewhere abroad with the United States, France, Britain and some African states to coordinate the operation. The rescue operation was launched amid Paris reports that French Foreign Legion paratroopers flew to Africa today as part of a possible international rescue effort to evacuate whites trapped in street See BELGIUM, page 2-A Times Capsules USF students don't claim money due them City will impound cars The Tampa City Council today gave tentative approval to a new ordinance that will authorize impoundment of automo biles if the owner has neglected to pay past parking tickets.

The ordinance would allow the city Department of Parking and Transportation to issue a summons for a By ZITA AROCHA Times Staff Writer University of South Florida students have more than a quarter of a million dollars coming to them in tuition overpayments. But the students, either from neglect or sheer ignorance, aren't claiming the money, a USF official said. Eric Walden, USF comptroller, said he is mystified by the fact students fail to pick up money the university owes them. "I really don't know why they don't pick it up," Warden said. He added students sometimes become confused and think they owe the university money rather than vice versa.

Since 1974, some 8,000 USF students have failed to claim nearly $370,000 in tuition overpayments, according to the comptroller's office. And every quarter, about 425 students overpay the university an average of $20,000. Walden said early in the quarter the university sends the student a notice telling him he has overpaid his tuition. 'The student sees the amount on the bill," Walden said. "He pays no attention to the fact that it's a credit notice (for an amount due him).

We even explain to the student (on a separate flyer) that it's an overpayment and needs to be cleared up," he said. But regardless of the university's effort to get the message across, the student either ignores the notice thinking he owes the university money, sends a check for the amount thereby compounding the problem, Walden said. And while the university waits for students to claim money owed them, the $370,000 has been placed in a university holding account, he added. Here it must remain for 15 years. At the end of 15 years, if the money still has not been claimed, the student is given one last chance to request what is rightfully his.

A state law requires the university place an advertisement in the hometown newspaper of the student owed the tuition money. If the student still doesn't claim the money, the university then returns it to the state. Walden said the time is rapidly approaching when USF will be required to place ads in the hometown newspapers of some of the students whose money has been lying dormant for nearly 15 years. However, Walden said, there is still confusion as to whether the state law applies to the university in this particular instance. And the State Board of Regents is trying to decide if it does.

But students don't just overpay tuition: at the end of the quarter the number of students who have tuition refunds coming is about equalled by the number that owes the university money. On the average, students owe the university $66,000 in tuition every quarter, according to the comptroller's office.

Sakharov, was arrested with his wife and held for five By HOWARD BROWN Times' Staff Writer The Tuesday afternoon derailment of a Seaboard Coast Line phosphate train has been blamed on a faulty wheel bearing on one of the 21 cars that rumbled off the track, according to Seaboard officials. The 80-car train was carrying about 8,000 tons of phosphate ore from Mulberry to Tampa's port when 21 cars in the center of the train jumped track just east of U.S.

301 on tracks near State Road 60. Damages, including the lost ore, are estimated to be about $500,000, said Seaboard official Frank Smelt. The 21 damaged cars were carrying about, 2,100 tons of ore, Smelt said. No one was injured in the accident. Smelt said nothing was found wrong with the track in the area, and the wheel bearing was the cause of the accident.

Work crews finished clearing the tracks and mak-' ing repairs by 3 p.m. Wednesday, and regular traffic is passing over the tracks now. About 22 trains pass over the tracks daily, most of which carry phosphate ore to Tampa's port from central Florida mines. About 500 feet of track was torn up by the cars Tuesday, and trains were detoured around the area through Plant City and Dover until yesterday after- noon. The Tuesday derailment brings the total number of derailments in the Tampa Bay area to four since last December.

One of the freight train derailments in north Hillsborough County was said to be caused by a sabotaged switch. Speeding Amtrak passenger trains often travel the stretch of track. A derailment similar to Sunday's occurred last December in Brandon when 14 cars from a Seaboard phosphate train jumped the track, strewing 1,400 tons of ore around the wreck site. No one was injured in that accident, but bystanders said if the derailment had occurred a few yards down the track, nearby apartments could have been flattened. The cause of that accident was said to be a hours after they struck police officers outside the courthouse.
