more than a dozen fire trucks and about 65 firefighters were sent to fight the blaze which was brought under control after about three hours he said As many as six people live in the apartments Knight said but apparently only Spencer who had been living at the church for about two weeks was home when the fire broke out Baggage From for one boy's bike and an antique typewriter that weighed about 50 pounds "We've just been taking their bags as they go through the gate" said Scott Cardwell a Delta Air Lines gate attendant loading a Lockheed L-1011 bound for Los Angeles "There's just not enough room in the cabin for all the bags they want to carry" -Cardwell said most of the 179 passengers who boarded Flight 179 were not pleased about having to give up their bulky luggage "They don't want to lose their bags" Cardwell said "They are afraid if they let them go they'll be gone forever" Most airline officials said yesterday that things were going smoothlybecause Parade IFrom I 1 i i i I 1 WE

through the years That created a dangerous maze-like interior "From a firefighter's standpoint it is a nightmare in there" Swan said previous page of I ight holiday loads They said the real test will begin today when planes begin filling up again "The people who will be affected most will be the business travelers" said Mary Ellen Norton an operations agent for American Airlines "They're the ones who hate to check their luggage because they have tight schedules to meet at the other end" Norton said the crackdown most likely will result in making more flights leave the gate later because some passengers will still try to bring all their belongings on board forcing flight attendants to hold up the flight while the bags are being checked "It will take the passengers awhile district had traveled to the Tournament of Roses Parade in California "From what I hear they're having trouble out there The flowers are freezing" she said She and the 230 people who made the trip from New Jersey also had tickets to the Cotton Bowl game later that day which may have helped her disposition The Texas Dame game was hardly a factor during the I 12-hour parade The Aggie band in fact received generous cheers from a contingent of Notre Dame fans along Griffin Street though that could have been because the band pressed stoically ahead despite following several contingents of horses The New Year's Day competition was completely lost on Betsy Franzen the Dallas girl who was tugging her mother's coat and pointing down the street as the Clydesdale horses approached During the several pauses when absolutely nothing was coming Betsy leaned into the street carefully so as not to cross the imaginary line that divided spectators from participants She said she just wanted to know when more "things" were coming through the holidays I'm very concerned for him" His mother a nurse at John Peter Smith Hospital for 20 years said: "I'm trying to figure out where hope stops and realism takes up I'd rather believe the worst and have something good turn out later on" Bates director of training at the Fort Worth Plumbers and Pipefitters Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee added: "It's got me spooked too The other students were asking about him the other night" When Buchanan disappeared his 1987 Nissan truck vanished with him When it was learned last week that the truck had been located on a street near downtown Houston it did little to advance anyone's understanding of Buchanan's disappearance Gilliam who lives with her son in During the investigation yesterday there appeared to be no smoke detectors installed in the four apartments the dining hall or the sanctuary Price said As firefighters fought the flames many church members who live in the surrounding neighborhood came rushing to the scene While firefighters worked the members dragged out pews band instruments and chairs as well as the church's piano organ and pulpit but I think they'll get used to it" Norton said FAA spokeswoman Jo Ann Sloane said that most passengers have been in favor of the rule despite the inconvenience it might cause "They realize it's for safety" she said Sloane said some of the more interesting items that have been taken onto planes before included leaky car batteries a BMW drive shaft and a large gold bird cage complete with a rare exotic bird Most people howeverjust

the Houston Police Department notifying her that the truck had been impounded after eight parking tickets had accumulated on the windshield The first ticket was issued Nov 12 three days after Buchanan was last seen in Fort Worth Chessner said there was nothing in the truck to indicate foul play "My information is that it is clean" Chessner said Gilliam said the truck was parked about a half-mile from the University of Houston where Buchanan's girlfriend Terri Smith is a student Buchanan frequently visited her on weekends but never without leaving word with his family Gilliam said Gilliam does not believe her son drove the truck to Houstom "There's no way he would-have went i 7i 1 it I 1 1 to 0 '''11111111111i -SS Ilillk: I til '7 11'' IT 1 f41 0 I i': 4 1 k''''') 1 st PI 4r A "1' -liv7 V14

Most said they agreed with the rule but still don't trust airlines to deliver their bags safely at the other end "I think it's a good rule especially for folks who try to bring weird things with them" said William Stanley who was on his way to Boston "I nearly got hit in the head by a bowling ball one time because it rolled out of the overhead bin" Stanley 63 said he checked one bag he normally would have carried on just to see how it worked out "I thought I'd give it a try" he said But "If my luggage winds up in Tahiti somebody's in trouble" Fort Worth Star-Telegram IR WILLIAMS with the

a good kid" Buchanan is black about 5 fees 9 inches and weighs 160 pounds smattering of commercial floats A member of the queen's court on the Texas Rose Festival float wearing an off-the-shoulder gown and no coat insisted she wasn't cold when male bystanders offered to help her warm up Even after executing a full-squad pre-parade "splits" routine on the cold Young Street pavement the smiles never faded from the faces of the Kilgore Rangerettes They were rewarded with spontaneous applause from the reviewing-stand crowd but some in the audience were less friendly to a Dallas code
