NEW YORK (UPI) Former Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa, now fighting for prison reform, said Sunday dope was always available in Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary during the 58 months he was there. On the prison blackmarket there was heroin, hashish, marijuana, plenty of it, anything you want as long as you got money, or you can sell your body, he said in a Time magazine interview. Hoffa, who will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Prison Reform this week, said everything in prison is designed to strip you of your manhood. -You only get medical attention if youre ready for an operation, he said.

The food is horrible. There arent sufficient exercise facilities, and a tot of the people are afraid to expose themselves to possible violence or trouble, so they stay in their cells and vegetate. Hoffa was imprisoned on fraud and jury tampering convictions and has been devoting his time to seeking prison reforms since President Nixon commuted his sentence last December. 1 He called for a change in the policy of putting all types of prisoners together, and also said more money must be spent to improve prisons. They put rapists in with embezzlers, muggers in with draft dodgers, and they wonder why theyre in trouble," he said.

Youve got to set up training facilities to prepare men for work after release. Youve got to train the guards and pay them more. Youre going to spend the money somehow, either in police forces, courts, loss of property and lives, or in reform of the prisons. Hoffa said most guards at Lewisburg treated the prisoners well but he described some as sadistic, ornery bastards. He blamed prisons themselves for the recent waves of strikes and violence by inmates.

It gfliH to the point where the prisoners dont care whether they win or lose, he said. They simply got to show their manhood. Faulty Meter Is Blamed For Fatal. Grid Team Crash WASHINGTON (UPI) -Faulty altimeter readings appear to be the most likely reason a jetliner crashed short of the Huntington, W.Va., airport in 1970, killing members of the Marshall University football team, a government report said today. Seventy-five persons, including the football players, coaches and fans, died when the Southern Airways DC-9 charter crashed into trees near the airport, which is located on a hilltop.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was unable to determine why the plane was flying too low and that nothing in the recorded cockpit conversations before the crash indicated the crew knew the plane had dropped below the minimum descent altitude. But investigators said the most likely explanation centered on the altimeters. They said the pilot may have gotten faulty readings from the planes barometric altimeter, which is supposed to give the planes altitude above sea level. Or the crew may have been getting its information from the radio altimeter which gives the planes actual height above the ground. The radio altimeter could have misled the crew into believing the jetliner was higher than it actually was because the ground in the Huntington approach area is at some points substantially lower than the airport itself.

The board urged the Federal Aviation Administration to install full instrument landing systems at airports such as Huntington. Advances In Health To Come Thru Prevention NEW YORK (UPI) There is evidence that the next major advances in the health of Americans will come through health education and preventive medicine, says the Presidents Committee on Health Education.

Second class pssiags paid at Leb-anaa. Pa. AMSTERDAM (UPI) The first games of the world chess championship between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union still were without a home today after officials in Amsterdam said they did not want to host the match. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, had suggested that the first games be played in Amsterdam after the original Belgrade sponsors said they no longer were willing to organize the match. But a Dutch Chess Federation spokesman said Sunday since the first leg of 12 games is scheduled to start June 22, it looks impossible to find in good time the sponsors to provide the about $160,000 needed.

Even if the sponsors could be found, it could not be guaranteed that Fischer and Spassky would agree to play in Amsterdam. The Belgrade sponsors backed out of the game arrangments after the American Chess Federation failed to put up a $35,000 guarantee that Fischer would play in Belgrade. A similar guarantee for Spassky was provided by the Russians, the International Chess Federation said April 13 when the decision of the Belgrade sponsors was announced. Agreement on the procedure for the 24-match series had been reached March 20 during meeting in Amsterdam with representatives of the two players and the American, Yugoslav and Icelandic federations. The first 12 games would be played in Belgrade and the remaining 12 in Reykjavik.

Belgrade and Reykjavik offered a total prize money $138,000 of which 62.50 per cent would go to the winner and 37.5 per cent to the loser. Fischer later told organizers he wanted a percentage of television and movie', rights proceeds. When he finally accepted, the Belgrade sponsors, who had already stopped preparations, demanded the $35,000 guarantee. After Belgrade backed out, uwe, in Australia on a chesi promoting trip, suggested Holland might be willing to take over the first 12 games. Police Lure NYC Man From Jet He Had Hijacked Sunday by sending an marked car onto the ru and telling him in keeping with his demand that the U.S.

ambassador was inside. A policeinan promptly overpowered him. Police said Mario Maimone, 30, was arrested after forcing the pilot of Swissair flight 610 with 20 persons aboard to land at Romes Ciampino military airport instead of at Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport 20 miles away. They said Maimone, carrying a box he said was filled with explosives but turned out to contain cigars, hijacked the plane over Italy on a regular Geneva-Rome flight. Police said Maimone first ordered pilot Urs Baier to fly to Argentina, but seLied for Ciampino when told the plane did not have enough fuel for a transatlantic flight.

When the plane landed at Ciampino, where a heavy police contingent was waiting, Maimone demanded to meet U.S. Ambassador Graham A. Martin and Pope Paul VI. He threatened to blow up the DC9 if his request was turned down. The unmarked car was then driven onto the runway and Maimone left the plane when told the ambassador was waiting for him in the vehicle.

A police officer quickly subdued him. A magistrate charged Maimone with kidnaping and violence, the most applicable charges in a country that has no laws against air hijacking. He faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted. The plane carried 15 passengers and a crew of five. U.S.
