Pettis crash County airports get $230,700 for projects Four San Bernardino County airports received $230,700 for capital improvement projects from the California Airport Aid Program during the first half of the 1974-75 fiscal year. The Barstow-Daggett Airport was given $51,000 to reconstruct a runway and taxiway, and to construct a new taxiway and a lighting system. Big Bear Airport received $37,595 for construction of a runway, taxiway and parking apron and to install navigational equipment.

$74,548 was allocated to the Chino Airport to extend a runway and taxiway and to light a ramp and hangar taxiway. Twentynine Palms Airport received $57,562 for construction of a crosswind runway and connecting taxiway. Monies given for the acquisition and development projects were matched by the airports. In some cases, federal airport funds were also used. Continued From Metro Page) that lives with the memory of six million kinsmen swept away in a tidal wave of hatred," he said.

"We are the only people that lives with the tragic history of one million children thrown into the furnaces. We are the only state in history that has not been given one moment of peace in its entire history." Israel stands ready to make peace, he said, but this will take a change in Arab positions. There is a concensus in Israel that is willing to make territorial concessions, he said. "Is there such a concensus in the Arab world? "The change that peace imposes on the Arab world is much more fundamental than withdrawal of territory imposes on Israel," he said. "Instead of boycott, cooperation, instead of blockade, free movement Instead of non-recognition, understan lie saiu laiaei is hui airaiu 01 corner-ring with the Arabs.

"You cannot intelligently discuss withdrawal unless you also discuss peace," he said. He envisioned a Middle East union similar to the Benelux Union and the Community of Europian States, with "separate political identity, but a broader, regional social community." The Europian nations have done this "even though 50 million people died (in battles between Europian nations) this century alone," he said. The lecture series that Eban inaugurated were established in honor of Dr. Robert E. Cleveland, who was Loma Linda University's vice president for academic affairs when he died two years ago.

Sun-Telegram Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO A torn envelope, bearing only postmarks and a portion of an address has led to the identification of human remains found Feb. 18 near Apple Valley. The victim was Edward Joseph Lengyel, 35, of Los Angeles, Deputy Harvey Castro said yesterday. The cause of the death has not been determined. An autopsy indicated he had been dead between 30 and 90 days.

A motorcyclist found the remains on a power line road about 10 miles southeast of Apple Valley. Sheriff's deputies found a duffle bag and clothing near the bones. Lengyel was tentatively identified Friday after detectives used two separate methods to trace the sender and recipient of an envelope, half of which was found in a pocket of the victim's jacket. The empty fragment bore a zip code, the last three letters of the addressee's last name and the last two letters of a street name. The postmark showed the letter was mailed Aug.

13, 1974, in Denver and the postage had been affixed with a postage meter, such as those used by large companies, and therefore contained the meter's identification number. Sgt. Bob Edmonds said detectives learned that the zip code was for an area near Los Angeles' Griffith Park and postal workers traced their files for all streets in the region ending in the letters "ta." They then checked for residents whose names ended in the letters "nde." Meanwhile, other investigators traced Denver and the company officials used the mailing date and other information to determine the addressee. The results of both searches produced the name of Gene Frank Lalonde, 35, of Sierra Vista Street in Los Angeles. Lalonde told detectives he had a friend, Lengyel, who had been missing since December and provided the name and address of Lengyel's roommate.

Lengyel, the roommate said, drove to visit his mother in Santa Barbara in mid-December. The victim's car has not been found. Detectives then interviewed Mrs. Lengyel who said her son left Dec. 23 for Los Angeles in his car.

She later filed a missing person's report when she learned her son never arrived at his home. A hitchhiker found papers belonging to Lengyel along a roadside in Boulder, and gave them to police Jan. 4, Edmonds said. Detectives are conducting a homicide investigation into the death, but Edmonds said they have few clues and. no suspects.

Lalonde and Lengyel's roommate were both given polygraph examinations and have been cleared of any implication in the death, Edmonds said. The victim's friends have told investigators he was unemployed, had less than $100 with him when he began the trip and often picked up hitchhikers. The envelope contained financial stock information and was sent to Lalonde at Lengyel's request, Edmonds said. The sergeant explained that the victim had been trying to interest Lalonde in pur-, chasing stocks.

14 airplane crash that killed Rep. Jerry Pettis probably will be concluded in about two weeks, an official said yesterday. Bob Gilmour, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said there are no indications that Pettis' Beechcraft Bonanza sustained any pre-crash malfunction or structural failure. The plane crashed and burned halfway up a 200-foot high, brush-covered ridge about three miles north of Banning. Pettis was an experienced pilot and was flying alone from Palm Springs to San Bernardino.

Investigators are compiling reports and awaiting detailed data on weather conditions in the area at the time of the accident and medical information pertaining to Pettis. Reports indicate the weather was cloudy, windy and foggy when the accident happened. The crash site is on the western side of the San Gorgonio Pass, a region long-known as a hazardous area for airplanes because of high winds, severe turblance, and clouds. According to Federal Aviation Administration records, Pettis received a weather briefing prior to taking off on the 25-minute flight. No radio messages were received from him after he left Palm Springs.

Gilmour said the emergency locator beacon in Pettis' plane had been armed but apparently was destroyed by the impact. Such transmitters are designed to be Pettis underwent a physical examination about three months prior to the accident and was found to be in good-health, a Riverside coroner's deputy said. Autopsy results indicate he had no drugs in his system but pathologists i were unable to determine if he had suffered a heart attack or stroke before crashing.

First, the AlO was selected over Northrop Corporation's A9. Most recently the AlO was announced the winner during a close air support evaluation with the A7, according to the Air Force.
