Kvam said the Afghanistan Red Crescent Society, which has offices throughout the earthquake region, has reported it has been able to confirm at least 1 ,500 dead.

Arianfar, the spokesman from the anti-Taliban alliance, speaking from Chaib, described images of utter devastation. Eight villages simply disintegrated, he said. Tons of food, blankets, tents and plastic sheeting were to be loaded onto cargo helicopters Monday in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad and were to be sent to the mountain capital of Faisabad. From there, the supplies will be forwarded to the areas that suffered the greatest damage. The International Red Cross got one plane into Faisabad on Sunday and was preparing to set up a clinic in the area.

By late Sunday, the weather in Faisabad had turned cloudy and cold, and aid workers feared it could become difficult to ferry supplies into the re- i Cyclists: Gearing up for Tuesdays race in city gion. Witschi-Cestari told reporters that the aid workers had learned lessons from the February quake, when they had been skeptical about the extent of the devastation, and had been slow to respond. We are at a level (today) where we were last (February) after one week, he said. The United Nations still has about $1.2 million in its emergency fund left over from a massive response to the appeal following Februarys from Poland plan to battle Lancasters difficult course. Last year, Saturn rider Chann McRae of Plano, Texas, outsprinted his fellow cyclists in a last-minute attack, crossing the line with a time of three hours, 22 minutes and 15 seconds.

He edged out Com-ptel-Colorados Trent Klasna by less than one second, and narrowly defeated Jonathan Vaughters, also of the Comtel-Colorado team, who finished with a time of 3:22:23. McRae received $2,000 for his Following the race, McRae said the Lancaster course suited his riding abilities. Its a very good course for me, McRae said. There is not much recovery, and its up and down and I tend to do well on these types of courses. WLAN-FM plans a live broadcast of Tuesdays race.

These little towns out here in South Dakota are on their way out, Kirby said. Danny Stone, Kara Arends and their 3-week-old baby, Brandon, were in their basement when their house was swept away. Ive been in this house 20 years and I dont think it took 20 seconds to be destroyed, Stone said. The Spencer church building that Edward Roger bought three years ago and was trying to convert into an inn was reduced to rubble. For the first time in my life I dont know what Im going to do, Rogers said.

Hannon attributed the storms and tornado reports mostly to normal late spring conditions.

The experiment showed that people who identify a suspect from a police lineup or a group of photos are far more confident of their choice if given positive feedback, even in casual conversation. They become less sure of the identification and likely to be less-confident witnesses at trial if given negative feedback or none at all. In research being published by the American Psychological Association, 352 people were shown a grainy videotape made by a surveillance camera of a person who later shot and killed a store security guard. They were told the person they saw had shot a security guard, and were shown either a lineup or photographs and asked to identify the killer.

In fact, he was in neither the lineup nor the photos. All made a choice wrong, of course, since they had not seen the gunman. Those who were told, Good, you identified the actual suspect. were far more confident in their choices than those told the suspect actually was among the other people shown. Those given positive feedback also ere more 4 confident than those who were told nothing about whether they had fingered the right man.

In addition to being more confident of their choice of photographs, they also remembered haying a better view of the culprit, having paid greater attention to the videotape, having had an easier time making the identification, needing less time to make the identification and being better able to make out details of the culprits face than those who received negative feedback or no feedback, the association report- The experiment by Iowa State University psychologist Gary L. Wells and his assistant, Amy L. Bradfield, is recounted in the June issue of the association's Journal of Applied Psychology, released Sunday. Former New York City police commissioner Patrick Murphy, director of the police policy board at the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said in an interview that good police departments train detectives not to talk to witnesses about the identifications they make.

In my experience, a detective who can keep that objectivity will end up with a better witness than one who is encouraging the witness." Murphy said. Wells said statistics are not kept on how often eyewitnesses are told anything after picking out a suspect I Continued from A-1 As the boats came to rest, witnesses rushed to their aid. But as the victims were pulled from the Citation, the boat began listing and overturned. "The front of it was starting to go down when another boat began unloading the people. Sehelling said.

Sehelling hooked a line to the sinking boat and pulled it to Weise Island It as towed to shore later. Officer Lee Creyer of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission was called to investigate the accident. Attempting to find witnesses among the hundreds of people in the area proved to be the most difficult task for Creyer. Eighty-six thousand people in the area and nobody saw what happened. he said facetiously as people watched as the damaged boat being towed into the Arrowhead Marina near the Pequea boat launch.

A small group of bystanders sun eyed the damaged boat as it was hoisted from the water. Passing boaters also slowed to seethe wreckage. This is the worst I've seen in a long time." Cre ver said. N..
