ANTARTICA DISASTER PROBED: Piloterror reportedly caused crash The Michigan Daily-Friday, November 30, 1979-Page 9 _r- CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) - The pilot of the Air New Zealand DC-10 that crashed into a remote Antarctica volcano, killing all 257 persons aboard, apparently made a navigational error that took him to the "wrong" side of the wind-lashed mountain, the head of the recovery operation said yesterday. An airline spokesman acknowledged that the pilot, Capt. Jim Collins, 45, had never flown the Air New Zealand antarctic sightseeing route before. But spokesman Jim Berry refused to , comment on a possible cause for the crash. AN ADVANCE TEAM of three mountaineers yesterday reached the crash site, 1,500 feet up the side of 12,400-foot-high Mount Erebus, reported no sign of survivors and said they spotted 60 or 70 bodies, a U.S. Navy spokesman said. But it was clear that the recovery effort would be an awesome task: the climbers said a polar blizzard was already covering the wreckage and bodies with snow. The death toll in Wednesday's crash, including 21 Americans, was the fourth-highest in aviation history. It was the third fatal accident involving a DC-10 this year, and it aroused new demands that the McDonnell-Douglas plane be grounded. THE DIRECTOR of the British Safety Council ad- vised travelers to shun the DC-10, and two lawmakers in Britain and West Germany demanded that their countries ban the plane until after an investigation of the New Zealand crash. Some air-safety experts con- tend the DC-10 has dangerous design flaws, a charge the manufacturer heatedly disputes. Roy Thomson, New Zealand's chief official for An- tarctica and leader of the crash-recovery mission, said it appeared to him that the pilot, not the plane, was to blame. :a Big Spexr' NEIL SIMON Musical ,Come r dez " Senate committee proposes Chrysler wage freeze as condition for government aid From AP. UPI. and Reuter WASHINGTON-The Senate Banking Committee last night tossed out a proposal, backed by the administration and Chrysler, to save the failing automaker and instead passed a har- sher recovery plan requiring a three- year wage freeze for both management and labor. In one day the committee threw out the administration's $1.5 billion loan- guarantee plan and replaced it with a bill reducing government guarantees to $1.25 million, directing a three-year wage freeze and tightening private financing requirements far beyond administration desires. THE VOTES WERE 10-5 to scrap the administration bill and 10-4 to report the substitute bill for full Senate action. Unlike the administration bill, the Senate measure spells out how much money should come from each source, although the board would be authorized to make adjustments in these amounts. In compensation for the wage freeze, employees would receive $250 million in newly issued voting stock in Chrysler. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) said this would give the employees about 40 per cent of the stock. THE FREEZE ALSO would require reopening the three-year wage contract signed Tuesday by Chrysler and the United Auto Workers. UAW President Douglas Fraser said the contract could not be reopened unless "the very sur- vival of the company was at stake." Backers of the Senate bill said Chrysler's future is at stake. The cor- poration, the third largest automobile maker in the country, has said it expec- ts to lose $1 billion this year and faces the threat of bankruptcy if it does not receive assistance. "We're not out of the woods yet," said Democratic Senator Ronald Riegle of Michigan, Chrysler's leading Senate ally. "WE'VE GOT a tough fight ahead in the Senate and then trying to get a ver- sion acceptable to the- House and Senate," before Chysler runs out of money early next year.

Against the backdrop of Islamic revival in Iran and other nations, the pope chose the capital of a major Moslem country to send out a clear message yesterday, the Roman Catholic Church wants to sweep away centuries of suspicion and mistrust between the two faiths and move into a new era of cooperation. "I WONDER whether it is not urgent, precisely today when Moslems and -Christians have entered anew period of historyto recognize and develop the spiritual links which unite us to promote and defend together ... moral values, peace and liberty," the pope said in St. Paul's church in Ankara, capital of this 99-per cent Moslem nation. While the Vatican broke new ground at the 1965 Second Ecumenical Council by expressing "esteem" for Moslems who worship a single God, John Paul went a step further in his first visit to a Moslem country. He is proposing a common crusade to give young people "a direction in life" and "fill the vacuum left by materialism" - two themes he has voiced at the Vatican and during "-s trip to Ireland and the United States last month. WHY SHOULD the two faiths work together after Christians and Moslems battered each other through the crusades in the Middle Ages and during missionary proselytizing drives? Quoting both the Koran and the Bible to prove his point, Pope John Paul carefully demonstrated that Christians, Moslems and Jews trace their spiritual descent from the prophet Abraham. Moslem veneration of Jesus as a prophetand honoring of the Virgin Mary also provide a common ground. The pope's goodwill gestures toward Islam have already made an impact here.

HE ADDED that when students come to the Tenant's Union with a cockroach problem, "We tell them to go to their landlord, and you can break a lease because of cockroaches - it's called constructive eviction." Erica Vener, Mediation Assistant of landlord-tenant disputes for the University, said when she gets calls from harried students, she too advises them to talk to their landlord first. If he or she won't cooperate, recourses in- clude withholding rent until the problem is corrected, or demanding monetary'compensation from the lan- cause local nuisance I dlord. She added, however, that she generally finds landlords receptive about sending exterminators to apar- tments with cockroaches. Several exterminating= services sup- ply unmarked cars for those afflicted with the troublesome pests that would like to keep the problem quiet. There are four major species of these troublesome insects, the largest being the Oriental, which is common in Ann Arbor. Primarily nocturnal, cockroaches thrive on warmth and darkness. ,El I STAR BAR 109 N.
