Wyatt said the station's court-appointed trustee contacted him Friday and decided to stop broadcasting. The stations owners could not bereached for comment Saturday. The shutdown will put four employees out of work. Wyatt said two three other employees would are off the air.

And we dont intend 'Jo sign on in the near future trying to keep this thing afloat, Johnson said. It's been a real battle just trying to keep the equipment running on such a low budget." KSKN was founded in December 1983 by Lee Schulman, a Los Angeles television executive. After almost two shaky years, the station filed for Chapter 11 protection in April 1985. The station was bought that August by a group of Tucson investors the Sun Continental Group headed by Gene Adelstein. Under his leadership the station rebounded and the staff grew from 10 to 40 employees.

But when Adelstein died in March 1986, the station was once again thrown into turmoil. When he died last year there was just a lot of scrambling, Johnson said. Folks didnt know what to do. But Johnson said he doesnt blame the stations management. They have been real good people to work for, he said.

YTm sure of all of us, they are the most sick about it. Adelsteins son, Evan, took charge after his fathers death and eventually made the decision in March to file under Chapter 11. Wyatt said he is confident KSKN will return. I cant think of a time when a license hasiust been turned back in to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), he said. Somebody will end up buying it and putting it back on the air.

Associated Press LIMA, Peru A search helicopter on Saturday spotted on a rugged jungle peak the wreckage of a twin-engine Air Force plane reported missing about ltfc weeks ago while on a domestic flight, authorities said. The aircraft was in pieces and it appeared that all 40 passengers mostly civilians and the six-man crew were killed in the crash, said Air Force Commander Enrique Gonzales, head of the search operation. The ship is completely de-v stroyed," he said in a radio inter-; view. There are no signs of survi-i vors. The wreckage of the Soviet-made Antonov-26 transport, whose passengers were believed to all be Peruvian, was discovered about 400 miles north of Lima and 25 miles southeast of the jungle city of Saposoa by a helicopter pilot who had been combing the banks of a river, said Gonzales.

The plane was on a domestic flight from Lima to Saposoa- and the northern cities if Trujillo and Iquitos when it was reported miss--ing June 18. Gonzales said the Andes peak on which the wreckage was spotted rises about 3,500 feet above the jun-; gle floor. He said a rescue team would at-; tempt to reach the plane on but the going would be tough be-; cause the wreckage is on a steep' incline. Final radio contact with the plane had been made about 10 min-' utes before it was scheduled to land at Saposoa, authorities said, and. there was no indication that than it-was in any trouble.

Membership in racial hate groups overall has fallen since the early 1970s, authorities say, but remaining members are believed to be more violent today.

groups generally believe that Jews are evil and blacks are subhuman, and refer to the U.S. government as ZOG Zionist Occupied Government. For the non-Jewish white race to survive, they contend, the government must be overthrown and a new, all-white nation established in its place. The movements leaders, authorities say, are working to foster Armageddon. In April, in a coordinated federal crackdown, grand juries in Arkansas and Colorado indicted 15 white supremacists on charges oi plotting to overthrow the government including a conspiracy to assassinate federal officials and of- murdering Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg in 1984.

The crimes were patterned after the plot of The Turner Diaries. of those indicted were among the 22 members of The Or-ddr already serving time on racketeering convictions in a conspiracy to bring about a racist revolution through killings and robberies. The Orders leader, Robert Jay Mathews of Metaline Falls, died in a 1984 shootout with FBI agents on Whidbey Island, Wash. During their trial in Seattle, Or-dr members were accused of a crime spree that included two murders and more than $4 million in robberies in several states. Ji On April 30, federal marshals captured fugitive North Carolina neo-Nazi leader F.

Glenn Miller in Missouri in a mobile home that authorities said was filled with grenades, pipe bombs, flak jackets, guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Before his capture, Miller mailed a declaration of war to 5,000 white supremacists. It included a point system for assassination of politicians, federal judges, informants, Jews and members of minority groups. The most points, 888, were assigned for assassination of Morris Healthful and comfortable, 1000 different positions at the touch of a button. Dees, head of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has successfully sued racial hate groups in the South.

Also in April, two former members of Millers White Patriot Party were convicted in North Carolina of conspiring to buy stolen military weapons for a series of robberies and to assassinate Dees. When Sheriff Dale, 35, stumbled upon the Cosmotheist compound, he knew little about the American Nazi movement. What hes learned since has made him nervous. But the group has kept a low profile. In fact, Dale met Pierce for the first time not at a Nazi demonstration but at the supermarket during one of Pierces infrequent trips to town for supplies.

el knew who he was, of course, Dale said. Id seen his picture a thousand times. And with me being in uniform he knew who I was. Hes very distinctive. Hes very tall, a painfully thin person, 52 years old, glasses.

He said the men looked at each other for what seemed to Dale like a long time, although it was only a few seconds. Surprise registered on each of their faces. Then, without speaking, Dale moved on. Holed up in his mountain retreat, Pierce is thought to spend most of his time writing for publications distributed by the Washington D.C.-based National Alliance, a neo-Nazi -group he also heads. The importance of Pierces novel to right-wing extremists has been revealed in court testimony in trials across the country.

Last year in federal court in Raleigh, N.C., ex-Green Beret Miller said his White Patriot Party was preparing for the day when the U.S. economy would collapse, spawning an outbreak of disorder, includ- QUEEN FULL TWIN Vibrator Massage $20000 additional $799 $899 $999 ing race wars and food riots. When that day comes, Miller said, Well be prepared, and were going to restore law and order and protect our people. He said he was building a 'white Christian army. He predicted the upheaval would happen in 1992.

In Millers trial, the government tried to show that the group had been stockpiling stolen military munitions and hoped to help instigate this outbreak of disorder. Dale said that according to the neo-Nazis master plan, Pierce would become territorial governor of the mid-Atlantic region. Hes been the major leader in the background, Dale said. Hell suggest things to people and use propaganda. He himself wont do anything, but hell incite them to do Dale said he feared that Pierce would use his compound at the edge of the Monongahela National Forest to conduct paramilitary and survivalist training.

The reclusive Pierce denies that he has done anything illegal. In a rare interview with a local television station, he said no paramilitary training occurs at the compound. All of the rumors are totally false, he said. A former member of The Order testified at the Seattle trial in 1985 that money stolen in a $3.6 million armored car robbery in 1984 was distributed to Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi leaders, including Pierce and Miller. The money was to be used to finance terrorism and paramilitary training.

Three months after the robbery, Pierce paid $95,000 in cash for the 360 acres in Pocahontas Couny. Federal officials have tried to link him to the robbery. In the television interview, Pierce denied any connection. We began firm negotiations on this piece of property in June of 1984, more than a month before the armored car robbery in California, he said. Of his novel, he said, All sorts of wild allegations have been made that its some kind of blueprint for revolutionary activities.

Thats nonsense. Dale said he believes that no more than a dozen people live at the compound, although 300 were there last Labor Day to dedicate the groups symbol the life rune from the Norse alphabet above the doorway of the large metal building. I had visions of people who were all criminal types and who are poor and just looking for a cause and a place to hang their hat, Dale said. That was not the case. Many of Pierces supporters appear to be educated and middle-class, he said.

So far, there has been no trouble. After learning of the Cosmotheist presence, Dale promptly began an education campaign, speaking to community groups, counseling landowners against selling property to outsiders and screening a video documentary about neo-Nazis. He even obtained a copy of The Turner Diaries and donated it to the library, where he says it does a brisk business. SOFA SLEEPERS SIT IN STYLE SLEEP IN COMFORT 4 PC.
