Two fires
stri ke
'U'area
Two fires broke out in the cam-
pus area last night, one near the
new Harlan Hatcher Library, and
the other next to the Bell Tower
Inn, on Thayer St. across from
Hill Aud..,
The fires were quickly extin-
guished by the city Fire Depart-
ment,'
According to Paul Wenk, Bat-
talion Chief of Fire Department,
the fire at the library seemed to
be "spontaneous combustion" of
piled trash near the building. The
trash included insulation, painting
rags and cans, and other discard-
ed material left by workers finish-
ing the building's new addition.
Fire Marshall John R. W i 1 -,
liams said that he did not know
the cause of ,,the fire near the
Bell Tower Inn, and he added that
it did "very little, if any, damage."
Thirty people' gathered att the i
Hatcher library to watch the fire
department extinguish the flames.
"There were huge flames, ten
feet high!" said one spectator. "It
freaked me out. I haven't been'so
hot in a long time."

WO1iEN AND CHILDREN, among the first to be released by
Arab guerrillas who hi-jacked four aircraft this 'week, file' past
a guard at an airport in Nicosia, Cyprus. Their hijacked plane,
along with two others that were hijacked. were blown up yester-
day after all of the passengers had been removed.

KINSHASA, The Congo (/P)-
Ten years ago the American
presence here was a 12-man
consulate and a few tourists
with distinctive accents. U. -S.
investment amounts to about
$25 million.
Today the American com-
niunity exceeds 2,000 and U.S.
investment is around $250 mil-
lion. And it may double within
a year. American sources say.
Investment was long held off
by the chaos after independence
in 1960, but since' President Mo-
butu took power in 1965 the
Congo seems to have gotten
over its growing pains.
An official bill of health ap-
pears to have been given when
Mobutu visited the United States
in July, won praise from Pres-
ident Nixon, and met U.S. money
men face to face.
The immediate result tw a s
Kaiser Aluminum's $200-million
investment in a smelter and
Goodyear's decision to put' $16
million into a tire factory and
rubber plantations.
The First National City Bank
of New York plans a branch
here. It is the first America
bank to have one, although
Bank of America has a share
in a Congolese bank.
Other investment probablies are
Union Carbide, in a zinc mine,
Morrison-Knudsen in construc-
tion, and almost inevitably, Amer-
ican oilmen.
Gulf Oil is prospecting the
Congo's short offshore and a strike
could mean a deal with the Kin-
shasa government involving mil-
lions. Gulf already has a good
well in neighboring Cabinda. Mo-
bile Oil with Shell'and Petrofina,
is prospecting the Congo onshore.
Also in this probable bracket
is a tin and copper mining opera-
and because U.S, aid tied to trade
sent Congolese money elsewhere
when it could.
Last year U.S. exports to the
Congo amounted to $44 million.
They are expected to top $50
million this year. U.S. economic
officials here talk of an almost
untapped sales market in the
mining, metallurgical, trans-
port, agricultural and tourist
industries.
The reasons for this upsurge
of American interest here are
several. The most important is
a view that "the troubles" are
over. Also, under one-year-old
legislation, attractive tax-free
holidays are provided new in-
vestors. plus full repatriation of
profits.
Washington has put some-
thing like half a billion dollars
worth of aid into this country
and seems to be ready to get
some of its money back.
Last year $ptal U.S. investment
in Africa stood at $2.7 billions Of
this 56 per cent. was in oil, much
of that in Libya, and nearly $1
billion of the total was in white
South Africa.
In the light of that, $500 mil-
lion worth of investment here
would take on significant propor-
tions. Some businessmen are call-
ing this country America's bridge-
head in Black Africa.

dynamite in the plane," Werder
said. "Then they .moved us about
10 city blocks away from the air-
craft. There was a terrible explo-
sion, a great flash and then bil-
lows of black smoke."
A front spokesman declined to
give a breakdown on the national-
ities of the men still held, but he
said some crew members of the,
three planes were among them.
"We consider the hostages as
prisoners of war and will continue
to hold them indefinitely as long
as we do not get what we want,"
he said.
In Zurich, a Swiss spokesman!
said destruction of the three
planes violated the conditions un-.
der which that government was
prepared to release three terrorists
convicted 'of a machine-gun attack
on an Israeli! airliner last rear.
He said the Swiss were "no longer
bound to the terms of our offer."
Smoke billowed from the wreck-
age for hours after the explosions
went off. As guerrillas and the
Jordanian army departed from the
area, onlookers began sifting
through the debris for souvenirs
and salvagable equipment. A truck
driver tried to pry off the front
tires from ,what was left of the

A stiff desert breeze sent flight
maps, magazines and other debris
along the brown salt flats. The
wreckage was spread over an area
half a mile long by 500 yards wide.
There were 429 persons, includ-
ing crewmen and about eight hi-
jackers, aboard the three planes
when they landed at the guerrila-
held airstrip 45 miles north of
Amman.
About 120 women and children
