Vest German disco, killing 2 44 Americans among 155 injured nil mlm BERLIN (AP) A terrorist bomb blast on Saturday shattered a packed West Berlin nightclub frequented by U.S. servicemen, killing a U.S.

soldier and a young woman and wounding 155 people, including 44 Americans, authorities said. News organizations received three different claims of responsibility for the bomb explosion at 1:50 a.m., when about 500 people were crowded into the La Belle discotheque in the American sector of this divided German city. One anonymous telephone caller in London claimed a West German leftist terrorist group carried out the bombing. Another caller in West Berlin said it was committed by an unknown radical Arab group. A second caller in West Berlin said it was the work of the Red Army Faction, one of Western Europe's most notorious extreme-left gangs.

Police said about 60 people, including some of the injured, had been questioned by late Saturday, but no arrests were made and no definite suspects emerged. Dieter Piete, deputy chief of security inquiries for city police, said police assumed "it was committed by terrorists of the extreme left, possibly even foreign terrorists, in light of the fact that the (club) was a favored meeting place for members of the U.S. military." An American soldier and a 28-year-old woman, who police said most probably was Turkish, were killed, Piete reported.

(AP) A new round of terrorist attacks in Europe fits the pattern of a Libyan-backed plan of indiscriminate violence against Americans that has targeted more than 30 U.S. diplomatic installations and several U.S. diplomats, an administration official said Saturday. The official, speaking on condition he not be identified, said the administration is not prepared to link Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy directly to the explosions last week aboard a TWA airliner approaching Athens and in a Berlin nightclub jammed with American soldiers. However, he said, the incidents "vindicate what we have been saying that there is a pattern, that there is a master plan" of terrorism aimed at Americans that is being backed by Khadafy.

The official said the plan has included targeting of more than 30 U.S. diplomatic installations abroad and of a number of American diplomats overseas this year. He said none of these attacks had been carried out, but some of them had been thwarted. "This is a Khadafy pattern," the official said. "We are seeing the footprints of the Khadafy terrorist plan all over the Middle East and Europe." Asked about a U.S.

response to last week's attacks, he said, "Clearly our patience is wearing thin" and added, "One of the tenets of our anti-terrorist policy is that we want to get to the right people. If it's Khadafy, we go to that person."

Greece (AP) Police Saturday called on a Lebanese woman who denies involvement in the bombing of an Athens-bound TWA jetliner to come to Greece and tell her story. Four Americans were killed in the blast. A senior security officer, Nikos Kokkinakis, said a Lebanese woman named May Elias Mansur was the "prime suspect" in the bombing Wednesday. But in Tripoli, Lebanon, a woman who identified herself as the suspect told The Associated Press she was not involved. The woman carried a Lebanese passport that used an alternate transliteration of the Arab surname, spelling it Manssour.

A written statement distributed private in-state residential treatment facilities concludes that 16 of 58 children in the centers at the time 28 percent of all children placed in Wyoming institutions were placed inappropriately. The author of the study, James Cosgrove, a Colorado children's services consultant, said the 16 youths should have been placed in settings that are "less restrictive" than the treatment centers examined in the study. The three in-state centers include Cathedral Home for Children in Study criticizes placement of troubled youths By CANDY MOULTON Star-Tribune correspondent HANNA Carbon County Coal decision last week to lay off some 200 miners is a "devastating blow" to this small community and the rest of Carbon County, community leaders say. Spokesmen for the financial community said the loss of the mine's $6 million payroll will sweep through the area economy, forcing businesses to evaluate their future. Social workers fear an upsurge in family problems and other social ills.

Hanna could lose not only its lone full service bank but many residents because of the layoff. Bob Pappenheim, chairman of the board for First Wyoming Bank of Hanna, said a decision on the future of the banking operation there should be made within 60 days. The layoffs could worsen problems with a saturated housing market in Hanna. Homes earlier valued at $60,000 to $70,000 have recently been selling for $15,000 to $20,000, according to residents and real estate agents. Information presented by Carbon Coal's attorneys during the hutt; 1 Friday to news agencies in Tripoli in Manssour's name also said she was not involved.

Responding to the statement, Kokkinakis asked, "Why doesn't she come here and testify if she is innocent as she apparently claims? She should come and help us with the investigation." In other developments: Police said they believed the bomb was made of plastic explosives and was the size of a cigarette pack. TWA spokesman Steve Heckscher said it was planted under the cushion of seat 10F. Heckscher said TWA expected to resume flying between Cairo, Egypt, Athens and Rome on Sunday. Flights were canceled after the explosion on the TWA Please see PLANE, A14 Laramie; St. Joseph's Children's Home in Torrington; and Red Top Meadows in Wilson.

Cosgrove said some of the youths could have been appropriately placed in homes with parents who have been trained specifically to handle youths with emotional problems. In Wyoming, that type of care is termed "specialized foster care." Despite his view that so many of the placements are inappropriate, tion. "I don't want to climb any more political mountains, but that doesn't mean I can't help," Roncalio said of his return to the political limelight. Roncalio said he "looked over dozens" of Democratic names and hopefuls. Then he heard a rumor that Sullivan was interested in running.

Roncalio gave the topic a "world of thought," then gave Sullivan a call. "I let him know I thought it was exciting," he said. "He's young enough to be enthusiastic and old enough and experienced enough to do it well." Then he waited for Sullivan to decide on his own because, as Roncalio said, a good candidate has to have "the fire in his belly" to be successful. Sullivan announced his intention to run March. 20.

Roncalio is now the honorary chairman of Sullivan's campaign a name assigned to denote respect, Sullivan said, not necessarily a less-active role in the campaign.

But Pappenheim said that closure of the bank will occur only if stockholders and bank officials determine there is no longer enough business to continue the operation, Pappenheim said. "There is not a ghost of a chance that bank will fail," Pappenheim said. He said capital reserves exceed all loans made by the bank.

When Carbon Coal's court battle with Northern Indiana- Public Service Commission began last year the bank issued a statement about its future that said, "Should Carbon County Coal Company cease its operation, that may well force one or both the financial operations (in Hanna) to cease their operation," according to Pappenheim.
