The Varig Airlines Boeing 707 was just six miles short of its destination at Orly Airport after a 6,000-mile flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil. "A minute and a half more and the Boe- ing could have 1 inded in safety, perhaps saving all the passengers," said Jean- Francois Frerot, the control tower chief at Orly. The four-jet airliner caie down in flames outside the suburban village of Saulx-les-Ch'airtreux, its engines and wing- tips ripping off on impact. Flames spilling from the aircraft pre- vented farmhainds from getting near the u wreckage to rescue those inside. They in- -laded 16 crew members and 118 passen- gers, none reported to be American.

The two locals are protesting the uni- versity's cancellation of their contract. MSU refused to extend the old contract on a day-to-day basis during the negotiat- ing period after it expired June 30. The Lansing State Journal quoted union leaders as charging that the university was attempting to "squeeze the unions into a quick-contract settlement." Leaders re- portedly warned members that without a contract they had no protection in griev- ance matters, firings, layoffs, and job assignments. Chuck Jennings, president of Local 999, said yesterday that points of contention with MSU in the contract bargaining in- clude "arbitrary application of seniority rights" the failure of the university to recognize graduate apprentices as jour- neymen, and increased pay and medical benefits to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Although the striking locals said they have received assurances that Team- sters and Building Tradesmen will honor picket lines, Keith Groty, MSU's vice- president for labor relations, said yester- day that members of other unions on cam- pus, notably the Fraternal Order of Police ation using "supervisi personnel."

During a sparsely attended session Robert Brown, community relations aide for the Ann Arbor Housing Commission, charged the housing unit with "blatant racism" in the firing of four black em- ployes in recent weeks. A Chrysler corporation worker, Lur- leen Burroughs of Ypsilanti, told HRC her employers are disregarding the city's fair employment ordinance in their treatment of black workers. Brown, who his recently filed com- plaints to the state labor relations board and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, blasted his superiors on the housing board, , stating, "I can't have somebody shit on me and take it. I'm not that kind of person." Brown claimed the commission dismiss- ed Relocation Coordinator Russ Roberts and three other blacks on "trumped-up charges" of incompetency after each of the four had complained about ill treat- ment by high-level commission officials. Brown said all four were removed on short notice and replaced by whites, "When people start complaining, heads begin to roll. Now I'm complaining, so my head is on the block," he added. Burroughs complained of bad working conditions and unfair hiring practices to- ward blacks by Chrysler Corporation at their Zeeb Rd. plant. Spokespersons for both Chrysler and the Rousing Commission were unavailable f* comment on the charges directed at them last night.
