The blast was caused by an explosive device in a piece of luggage aboard the plane, said Yiannis Kap-sis, undersecretary for foreign affairs. Panagiotiso Christopoulos, a senior airport security official, identified the dead man as Alberto Stino, a Colombian-born American. He did not identify the other victims, and said a child remained missing. He said the three bodies were found on an unused Greek air force landing strip outside Argos, 30 miles south of Corinth and 65 miles southwest of Athens.

NEW YORK (AP) Passengers didnt panic when an explosion today tore a hole in the fuselage of a TWA jet over southern Greece, letting in wind that blew debris around the cabin, one passenger said. We were beginning our descent into the Athens airport and then there was an explosion, a big bang, Greek passenger Damian Damianos said in an interview from Athens with CBS Radio. I would say it was about five rows behind the spot where the hold opens, where the explosion took place. The explosion (opened) a large hole of about three feet in the fuselage. Police said the bodies of three persons from the plane were found later on the ground beneath the Boeing 727s flight path, and a fourth was unaccounted for.

The passengers did not panic. A few children began screaming, but I think all the others behaved very calmly, Damianos said. A couple of minutes later, which seemed like an eternity, the pilot made an announcement to the effect that one of the window had blown out, but the situation was under controL He said a TWA employee also walked up and down the aisles reassuring passengers. In the meantime a stream of air was coming in from this hole and debris from the glass fiber insulation was flying inside the plane and outside. There was some noise.

On Sunday, Ibrahim Nafeb, editor of the influential Al-Ahram newspaper, wrote that it was no secret that the United States has attempted more than once to join in an action with Egypt against Libya and that Egypt has rejected (these offers) not once, or twice, but three times. Nafeb, who has close ties to Egypts president, Hosni Mubarak, said the first U.S. proposal came in mid-July after Reagan administration officials concluded that further diplomatic efforts with Khadafy would be useless and that stronger actions needed to be taken.

The editor said the United States at the time offered to provide Cairo with military aid for an attack on Libya but the plan was rejected. (See LIBYA, Page 6) Jack Aulik hugs his daughter, Cam Lendborg, after learning that a Dane County Grcuit Court judge. Aulik, Sundby win hard-fought judge posts WASHINGTON (AP) Despite a denial by a top Reagan administration official that the United States sought Egyptian participation in joint military action against Libya, reports are persisting that such an operation was pursued by American planners. The senior administration aide, who insisted on anonymity, said Tuesday that the United States and Egypt often engage in joint military maneuvers, but said we have never made any request to the Egyptians to do the deed with respect to Libya. In todays editions, the Washington Post cited U.S.

sources as saying that secret talks in Cairo on the operation were productive and planning for the joint move was continuing. The Post, however, also said U.S. efforts to persuade Egypt to join in an operation to overthrow Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy had apparently foundered after the plan received publicity and was rejected by the Egyptian government On Tuesday, the Washington Times said Reagan administration sources Index Volume 138, No. 93. 80 Pages, 9 section Rainy, By Capital By MIKE MILLER Capital Times Staff Writer In one of the closest judicial races in Dane County history, Sun Prairie attorney John Jack Aulik narrowly defeated Judge Paulette Siebers for the Branch 4 Circuit Court spot in Tuesdays election.

In the only other contested judicial race involving Dane County, Madison attorney Robert Sundby stunned legal circles here by defeating veteran Dane County Circuit Court Judge P. Charles Jones for the newly created judgeship on the state Court of Appeals. Auliks victory marked the first time in a decade that an incumbent judge has been defeated at the polls in Dane County. Less than 500 votes separated the two candidates. With all of the wards reporting the vote was: JOHN AULIK I 17,603 Paulette 17,161 I thought it would be close, but I didnt expect it to be this close, an obviously elated Aulik said today.

Aulik credited the hard work of the greatest bunch of people in the world my supporters for his narrow victory. Sundby, meanwhile, piled up hefty margins of victory in the rural counties in the 4th District Court of Appeals race, offsetting the large majority garnered by Jones in Dane County. Sundby, 60, had predicted in his campaign that he had to get a minimum of 40 per cent of the vote in Dane County to defeat Jones. Few political observers thought he could do that against Jones, a highly, thought of veteran judge. In fact, Sundby got only about 38 per cent of the vote in Dane County, with Jones polling 62 per cent Sundby dealer, said his group woke a sleeping giant in assessmg the victory.

Richland Center voters overwhelmingly approved four mandatory referendum issues which will allow liquor and beer to be sold legally at taverns and outlet stores for the first time since 1933. City fathers curtailed sales of liquor after a wild post-Prohibition experiment that soured the populace on drinking.

The referendum ballot was the seventh vote on the long-simmering issue since 1960, but the first in the past 13 years. It proved the one that loosened the cork. The push for local liquor sales was linked to economic and business growth for this city of 5,000, located 60 miles west of Madison. The Richland Center Advancement Association, a group of local business people, funded the active pro-wet campaign.
