THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1985 Dateline: Washington 747 checks find loose bolts WASHINGTON (AP) An inspection of more than 300 Boeing 747s, prompted by the crash of one of the jumbo jets in Japan last month, found some loose bolts and rivets but nothing that raises safety concerns, according to government and industry officials. The inspections, conducted by the airlines at the suggestion of the Boeing focused on the tail section and rear cabin bulkhead of the huge aircraft because that's where investigators believe they will discover the cause of the Japan Air Lines crash. "We found nothing that gives us any concern." FAA spokesman Fred Farrar said Tuesday. "We're satisfied that there are no problems." Farrar referred to the inspections that have been conducted by the airlines as well as FAA "spot checks" of some 747s. Investigators believe the JAL jumbo jet crashed because the pilot lost control of the aircraft after the tail section was damaged.

Parts of the tail were found in the ocean 80 miles from the crash site. All but four of the 524 people aboard the 747, which was on a domestic flight, were killed when the plane plowed into a mountainside Aug. 12. It was the worst single aviation accident in history. nation Gag order out on Night Stalker case LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge clamped down on release of information in the "Night Stalker" case by issuing a gag order to silence public comment from officials and witnesses about defendant Richard Ramirez.

The order was sought by Deputy Public Defender Allen Adashek, with concurrence by Deputy District Attorney Philip Halpin, to stem the flow of news about Ramirez, 25, a drifter from Texas who spent much of the past five years in California. The order, issued Tuesday by Municipal Court Judge Elva Soper, covers witnesses, law enforcement officials, attorneys and members of their staffs, along with court employees. Officials also are barred from discussing the case outside court. All documents in the case were also ordered sealed by Ms. Soper after she learned reporters were reading subpoenas for medical records and information about molds taken of Ramirez's poorly spaced teeth.

Suspects in trooper slaying surrender SPRING CREEK, N.C. (AP)--Police say two fugitives charged with killing a state trooper were nearly "run to death" in a three-day manhunt by 200 officers, bloodhounds and helicopters before they stumbled out of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrendered. "They were about to give out," Sgt. George Dowdle of the North Carolina Highway Patrol said after William Bray and Jimmy Rios surrendered around 4 p.m. Tuesday.

"They looked like they had been run to death. We tried our best to wear 'em out, flush 'em out." The pair offered no resistance, said nothing and laid down their weapons after trackers and a bloodhound named Brandy forced them down a mountain and into the hands of waiting agents of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. No shots were fired. Rios, 23, and Bray ,21 escaped the Franklin 3 jaU the shooting oifcSaturday of Trooper Robert Lee COggins. Dog handjer Arley Graves of Burke County said Brandy had been on the suspects' trail for nearly six hours.

The manhunt intensified Tuesday morning after a woman reported a break-in at her isolated home Monday night, about two miles from where the men finally surrendered. world Soviets even Britain score at 31 MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union today ordered six Britons, five embassy staff and a reporter, out of the country in the fourth round of retaliatory expulsions set off by the defection of the KGB chief in London. British Ambassador Bryan Cartledge was summoned to the Soviet Foreign Ministry and told of the new expulsions two days after Britain added six Soviets to a list of 25 expelled last week on suspicion of being spies. The Soviets retaliated by expelling 25 Britons on Saturday, and today's action means each side now has expelled 31 of the other's citizens. Cartledge branded the expulsion "a vengeful and spiteful act," and said it would make it harder to rebuild relations between the Soviet Union and Great Britain.

"The Soviet government's action today is far from constructive. It represents a further setback," Cartledge said in a statement issued after he returned from the Foreign Ministry. The British ambassador identified the six ordered out of Moscow today as Ian Sloane, embassy first secretary and cultural attache; Ian Wall, a communications staffer; Robert Hooper, assistant air attache; Sgt. Nigel Andrews, air attache staff; Paul Hughes of the Naval attache staff; and Martin Nesirky, a correspondent for the Reuters news agency. weather Tht Fortcast for 8 EOT, Sept.

Reagan outlines approach to summit By MICHAEL PUTZEL AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan says he is going to the superpower summit in Geneva not just to meet Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev but for serious talks designed to "remove this threat of possible war or nuclear attack from between us." But Reagan told a nationally televised news conference Tuesday night he doesn't regard his plan to develop a space-based nuclear defense as "a bargaining chip" and ruled out any negotiations that would limit research, development or testing of the so-called "Star Wars" system. "I'VE NOT ENGAGED in a propaganda game," Reagan said, accusing the Soviets of trying "to build an impression that we may be the villains in the piece and that they're the good guys." The comments brought a sharp rebuttal today from the official Soviet news agency Tass, which accused Reagan of trying to justify an unconstructive arms control position by making "slanderous" remarks against the Soviet Union. Asked if he would have to like Gor- bachev in order to do business at the Nov. 19-20 summit meeting, Reagan said he wasn't planning to give the new Communist Party chief "a friendship ring." He said he expects to find Gorbachev personable, as other Western leaders have, but added, "It isn't necessary that we love or even like each other. "IT IS ONLY necessary that we are willing to recognize that for the good of the people we represent, on this side of the ocean and over there, that everyone will be better off if we can come to some decisions about the threat of war." Also during the 37-minute question- and-answer session, the president's first such formal White House meeting with reporters in three months: --Reagan rejected any major increase in government spending for AIDS research, saying the $126 million to be spent this year "has got to be something of a vital contribution," given administration budget constraints.

He ducked a question on whether he would send a child to school with a pupil who has AIDS, saying, "I'm glad I'm not faced with that problem today." REAGAN SAID HE felt compassion for an AIDS child who "can't have it somehow he is now an Outcast and can no longer associate" with his playmates and schoolmates." But he added he can understand parents' concerns in the absence of unequivocal medical evidence that the deadly disease can't be transmitted between children. --He denounced congressional proposals for trade restrictions to protect domestic industries from foreign competition, warning "a mindless stampede toward protectionism will be a one-way trip to economic disaster." Tariffs, Reagan said, "would invite retaliation that could (deliver) an economic death blow to literally tends of thousands of American family farms." --Defending his policies toward white-ruled South Africa, Reagan said being criticized by all sides in the racially torn nation indicates he "must be pretty near the middle." "I THINK THAT when you're standing up against a cellophane wall and you're getting shot at from both sides. you must be doing something right." Reagan said of his recent decision to impose sanctions against the Pretoria government to increase pressure for abolition of apartheid laws. Most questions dealt with U.S.- Soviet relations and the coming summit conference, which administration officials had sought to portray as a get- acquainted session unlikely to result in a breakthrough in the troubled superpower relationship. "Maybe we were overly concerned," Reagan said, "but we were worried that there might build up a euphoria and that people would be expecting of a near miracle to come out of that summit." "WE TAKE THIS summit very seriously, and we're going to try to get into real discussions that we would hope could lead to a change in the relationship between the two countries -not that we'll learn to love each other, we won't but a change in which we can remove this threat of possible war or nuclear attack from between us," Reagan continued.

Reagan said he had sent U.S. arms negotiators back to Geneva this week for a third round of talks without changing their instructions, and blamed the Soviets for the lack of progress toward arms control. "We have offered at least six versions of a possible reduction and six different ways to enlist their interest in negotiating with us in a reduction of warheads," Reagan said. "They have come back with nothing We are waiting for them to say, 'Well, that number is wrong; let's try another number' or make a proposal of their own. And in spite of the language that has been used in some of the international broadcasts recently by leaders in the Kremlin, none of those proposals, nothing of that kind has ever come to the table for negotiations." CONTRADICTING REPORTS he might offer to trade his strategic defense research program for Moscow's agreement to reduce the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal, Reagan said, "I would rule that out." Research on whether a defensive system is feasible "is going to continue," Reagan said, and it may one day involve development and testing of "Star Wars" weapons.

But deployment of any defensive system designed to eliminate the threat of Soviet offensive weapons would be subject to negotiation. Reagan said. But he compared the prospective defense system with military gas masks that armies kept even after chemical weapons were banned by international convention in 1925. $25 COUPON CLIP SAVE Mid-State WATERPROOFING WITH 22 YfMS EXPfRIENCE TO THE HOMEOWNERS Free Estimate With No Obligation GALL COLLECTTM 359-9335 SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT Nancy Karen's Styling Salon DISTINCTIVE HAIR Nancy Butcher STYLING Karen Weishaar, Props.
