School was to have started today. (UPI) RAMSTEIN, West Germany (UPI) A U.S. military transport plane assigned to carry supplies to American troops stationed in the Persian Gulf crashed early today, killing 13 U.S. soldiers, a military spokesman said. The C-5 transporter aircraft crashed about 12:30 a.m.

in a wooded area and caught fire shortly after takeoff from the U.S. military base of Ramstein in western West Germany, said spokesman Doug Moore. The cause of the crash was not immediately known and U.S. military officials were investigating. The plane was headed to another base in Frankfurt before it was to fly to the gulf and deliver food rations, medical supplies and maintenance equipment to U.S.

troops leading a multinational force deployed after Iraq invaded Kuwait, the spokesman said. At least 13 people were killed and four were injured, the spokesman said. Rescuers said it took about an hour to put out the flames and afterward, dense fog hampered efforts to find victims. An Air Force spokesman said rescuers found the body of the 13th victim almost 12 hours after the crash of the C-5 Galaxy, one of the world's largest military transport planes. The four injured men were taken to the Landstuhl Army Medical Hospital near Ramstein, a hospital spokesman said.

The aircraft was attached to the 60th Military Airlift Wing, Travis Air Force Base, but the flight crew was from a reserve unit, the 433rd Military Airlift Wing, Kelly Air Force Base, at San Antonio, Texas.

Thirty members of the girls' volleyball team were in the gymnasium preparing for a late-afternoon game against a team from Bolingbrook. Teachers and administrators were getting ready for the opening of the new school year Wednesday. Then, at about 3:30 p.m.

CDT, lightning started to flash to the west, and coach Wayne DeSutter ordered his football players to take shelter in the gym. DeSutter coached at Sherrard, Alleman and Rock Island before moving to Plainfield. At about the same moment, 16-year-old Amy Singletary took a break from her volleyball practice and stepped outside the gym to find hail falling from a darkened sky. The football players, who had been taking their time, were now running full tilt to the gym at the advise of their coach. In hallway As Amy stepped back inside, the school's fire alarm sounded, and everyone was ordered into an interior hallway 50 feet away.

DeSutter from here Wayne DeSutter is a Quad-City area native who not only played football here but also was a head coach for 12 years. He was a 1962 graduate of Atkinson High School where he earned all-state and all-conference honors. He then went on to star for three years at Western Illinois University. His first coaching job in this area was at Sherrard High School where in five years his teams posted a 41-6-1 record. He coached at Alleman from 1976-80, posting a 24-22 record, and at Rock Island in '81-'82, posting an 11-9 mark.

He moved to Plainfield prior to the 1983 season. Volleyball coach Kathy Cart-wright told everyone to sit on the floor. "We were in the gym practicing when the principal ran in and told us to get out," said Ellen Brunke, 14, a member of the volleyball team. "We went to the hallway, and sat out by the walls. Everything got dark and we heard a sound like a freight train.

Then we heard a loud boom." "We all knew what to do," Amy said. "We stood against the wall with our hands over our heads." Then, it hit. "All of a sudden, the lights went out, and the alarms went off." said 16-year-old Ed Petka (Please see GYM, page A5) i ri signed to the 433rd Military Airlift Wing, rather than wait for the call-up from the Pentagon, have been transporting troops and cargo from around the United States to the Middle East since Aug. 8. Ground crews assigned to the wing based at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio have been working 24-hour shifts since Aug.

5, repairing and maintaining incoming planes for quick departures. For the first time Tuesday, the 433rd reservists were allowed to disclose a few dates and numbers about their role in the massing of U.S. troops in the Middle East in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait Aug. 2. The aging 15-plane C-5A fleet assigned to the 433rd has caused little mechanical trouble.

"It's a large operation and things have gone very well," reserve CoL Mahlon Stief, of San Antonio said about the largest military aircraft outside the Soviet Union, which is capable of carrying 85 tons of cargo. The C-5 that crashed near Ramstein came down about 5 miles from the largest U.S chemical weapons depot in West Germany. This month, 400 tons of chemical weapons are being removed from the depot to be destroyed on a Pacific island.

(UPD Researchers said Tuesday they have discovered a new species of mammal a tiny, pouchless marsupial native to a remote Brazilian rain forest.

University of Rhode Island natural resources professor Thomas Husband, university environmental specialist David Abedon and five undergraduate students said they found the "pygmy mouse-opposum" earlier this month in Sergipe, The researchers came up with the name because of the animal's appearance. The animal has a gray body, white belly and black circles around its large black eyes, he said. It stands less than 3 inches tall, has an 8-inch tail and has ears half the size of its body, Abedon said. An official at the Smithsonian Institution said the find would be "significant" if the animal is a new species but not "earth shattering" because two new species of mammal are typically found each year, he said. However, only 10 percent of the mammals in the world are believed to remain undiscovered.
