Five Train wreck kills (Continued from Page 1) bash "Avenue to Lake Street when an eight-car on the Lake- Dan Ryan route hit it from be- hind. THE RAVENSWOOD train stayed on the tracks but the second and third cars of the fol- lowing train went to the street and crashed flat on their sides on Wabash Avenue. McDonough said, "The Rav- enswood train was stopped just beyond the curve for reasons unknown, whether to clear a train or because of a temporary stop of a train going ahead of them." The cause of the crash was not known, Chicago Transit Au- thority spokesman Don Yabush said. He said he did not know when Loop service be restored. THE NORTHERN LOOP area was turned into bedlam. Per- sons who struggled from wreck- ! age of the downed cars ran into State Street bars, restaurants and stores. A man ran from a restaurant shouting, "Somebody's dying in here!" Acting Mayor Michael Biland- ic, on the scene, said, "We be-I lieve several people are trap- ped under one of the cars on the street. There has been mo- tion indicating life and they are, trying to get them out and get them medical attention." Bilandic said emergency med- ical centers were set up in sev- eral nearby restaurants and of- fice building lobbies. All doctors in the area were urged to report to 10 area hospitals to care for the injured. PAULINE LUVINSKI, 47, with blood on her right eye and cut hands, said, "I don't know what happened. All of a sudden the train just started to tip over. "A man fell right on top of me and there was a lady right next to me. They pulled us out right away. I thought I would die." 16 The last serious Chicago Tran- sit Authority crash was Jan. 9, 1976. when one train crashed in- to the rear of another standing on the tracks, injuring 333 per- sons.

"The economy is not going to be advancing extremelyt quickly," said Economics Pro- fessor Harold Shapiro. "The1 problem is not that we aren't ( improving; we are slowly im- prOving. The problem is that< we must improve fast enough so that we bring the unemploy-t ment rate down quickly." t ACC0RDING to Sha. piro, the unemployment rate cannot be expected to fall be-1 low six per cent, even by thez middle of 1978.I "There doesn't seem to bei any great strength in either the t consumption sector or in thei inducement of the business sec- tor to invest in capital equip-Y ment," said Economics Prof.4 Saul Hymans. "At the moment,c neither category appears by it- self ready for any substantialc take-off into a high enoughr growth rate to drag the econo- my at a high enough rate." 1 The professors project a 7.1 per cent unemployment rate for 1977 (about 1 per cent lower than last year's) and a steady 5.5 per cent inflation rate. "WE DON'T expect apy ra-: pid inflation this year or any: increase in the price of im- ported raw materials," Shapiro said. Shapiro attributed recent double - digit inflation to the rise in prices on imported raw materials; world food prices, have doubled recently, le says - and oil prices have increas- ed fourfold. Carter's $13 million income tax reduction and rebate scheme, he adds, will have on- ly short-term effects on the economy. "I LOOK on it as a tempor- ary measure," said Shapiro. "I think it will certainly help things over the next half-year to a year, but I don't think it's enough in longer terms." Shapiro expects the economy to continue its present slow rate of improvementjduring 1978.. "The trouble is just" that it is improving too slowly, and the unemployment rate isn't go- ing to be dropping fast enough. But, gloomy as that forecast may be, Shapiro at least con- siders the possibility of a re- cession extremely unlikely. "There isn't any significant danger of a recession in the next couple of years," he said. "But, then, there's always the possibility." Job less rate dips; but it'll rise again Former convict Mary Fitzpatrick heads for the White House yesterday to begin a new life as Amy Carter's nanny. Imprisoned seven years ago for murder, she is now on parole, and will live in a room one floor above the Carters. Murderess is Amy snanny WASHINGTON (UPI) - Convicted murderess Mary Fitzpatrick was released from a life prison term at Presi- dent and Ms. Carter's request yesterday and began life as a White House nanny and maid. "I just don't believe this is happening to me!" /she said upon arrival from Atlanta, where prison officials granted the Cinderella reprieve, pinned a white corsage on her blue dress and sent her to live in the White House - one floor above the President. A GEQRGIA parole official said Fitzpatrick, 31, a long- time Carter nursemaid who chaperoned Amy on Inaugura- tion Day - got the reprieve from her work-release jail term because she is a model prisoner with "a very unusual employment opportunity." She attended the inauguration on a three-day pass. White House officials said she wi l become a $6.004 a (year member of the resident domestic staff, supervising Amy, 9, and a baby due in March to the wife of Chip Carter, and helping with household cleaning and laundry. I WASHINGTON (P) - The na- tion's unemployment rate fell to an eight-month low of 7.3 per cent in January, but the White House said yesterday that the figures are deceptive and the cold weather probably will boost the rate up again this month. One Labor Department official said the decline in January un- employment could be partly caused by people giving up the search for work because of the cold weather, especially in agri- cultural areas where the cold has destroyed entire crops. THE JANUARY unemploy- ment rate was down a full half of a percentage point from the December rate of 7.8 per cent, and unemployment was wide- spread throughout all job, cate- gories. especially for adults. But White House Press Secre- tary Jody Powell said that while President Carter is pleased by the development, his "pleasure, is tinged with a heavy degree of caution. "The economy is not improv- ing anywhere near as fast as these figures would indicate," Powell said. He added that un- employment probably will rise in February as the effects of the cold weather and the natural gas shortage make themselves felt. ALMOST ALL;of the decline in unemployment was due to a big drop in the number of work- ers in the labor force, which of- ficials were unable to fully ex- plain. Total employment rose only slightly, but the number of jobless fell 560,000 to below sev-I en million. Discussing the drop in the la- bor force, Julius Shiskin; com- missioner of the Bureau of La- bor Statistics, said that "One possible explanation is that many job seekers discontinued their efforts to find employment because of the unusually cold weather." Economist Walter Heller told the committee the winter could wipe out about half the benefits of Carter's proposed $50 rebate plan because of higher fuel costs and job layoffs. but the back was already down," she added. "It was hor- rible, just horrible. I was pray- ing, and I guess God gave me strength not to be too frighten- ed" "I WAS ON the second train," she said. "We just pulled off from the Randolph stop. We were making a turn. The next thing I knew, I was falling for- ward.tIheard a terrible noise and that was it. The front of the train, was saved by some posts or something, but the back of the train was on the ground."
