St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church North Augusta: in Fleiv It Into The Ground 9 CHARLOTTE, N.C. A An official involved in the federal investigation of the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 212 said, "They flew it into the ground," The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday. The newspaper said pilot error will probabily be blamed for the Sept. 11 crash of the DC-9 3.3 miles south of the runway at Charlotte's Douglas Airport.

Seventy-two persons were killed. In separate interviews, four unnamed sources told the Observer that the National Transportation Safety Board had uncovered no evidence of equipment or system malfunction. But the sources pointed out that more information could come to light to change their conclusion. Choral Concert Brings Enjoyable Afternoon A Review By DANIEL MILLER At the First Baptist Church in Aiken Sunday afternoon. Coile Scarborough directed the Aiken Choral Society and a chamber orchestra from the community in a mixed classical-pop program.

Part I of the concert featured two works: the Cantata No. 50 of Bach 1st Das Heil Und Die and Vivaldi's And in Part II. Mr. Scarborough conducted choral arrangements of songs from "Mary Poppins." and "Sesame Street." a 1920s medley, and finally. "Old Irish Blessing." The First Baptist Church Choir assisted in the Bach canta- a soloists in the Vivaldi Gloria were sopranos.

Sylvia Scarborough and Sarah DeFrehn, and contralto. Mignon Beard. On the whole, it was an enjoyable afternoon. The chorus itself is well trained and sings with a bright, sweet tone. The final group of songs benefited especially from the sheer attractiveness of the choral sound.

These were graceful, carefully molded performances, and they sent the large audience home happy. The Bach and Vivaldi fared almost as well. Bach's cantata is nothing less than a massive single-movement double chorus, a slowly ascending work of tremendous beauty comparable in quality to the slowly descending Sanctus of the Minor Mass. With the First Baptist Church Choir singing one choral line from the right balcony, the cantata's dramatic nature was emphasized both visually and spatially. The performance could have had more dynamic graduation.

The Vivaldi "Gloria" is as episodic as the Bach is compressed, and it suffers greatly by comparison and juxtaposition. I enjoyed the choral contributions here, expecially in the Gratias Agimus and Cum Sanctu Spiritu. But the performance may have been too enervated: although, partly Vivaldi's fault, one could scarcely differentiate the sections of Gloria. Aiken can be proud of this organization, and one looks forward to future concerts from it. Chrysler Shutdown Appears Sure DETROIT A Chrysler Corp.

is expected to disclose plans today for a shutdown of virtually its entire production system during December. "It's obvious we're going to be making some cutbacks. We'll decide Monday how we're going to do it where, when and to what extent," said Chrysler President John Riccardo. He denied that a decision had already been made to close five of the firm's six assembly plants. Such a move would idle almost 30,000 assemblers immediately, and subsequent shut- downs in parts plants could affect another 50,000, sources said.

Industry observers said a shutdown of most Chrysler plants would be an unprecedented cost-saving gesture, unheard of except in wartime. Chrysler Chairman Lynn Townsend has requested a meeting this afternoon with United Auto Workers leaders. Meanwhile, 95,000 Big Three auto workers will be on layoffs this week, the largest number of furloughs in the industry since new models debuted in September and sales nosedived.
