C. jet crash WASHINGTON (AP)- A Florida-bound Boeing 737 with 79 ple aboard roared from a snowy takeoff and crashed into a Potomac River bridge yesterday, smashing automobiles and plunging into the icy water. Most of the passengers and several motorists were killed, authorities said. A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, Ted* Marr, said an unofficial estimate "would be 65 dead." Hours after the crash, only 17 people had been admitted to hospitals and rescue efforts were suspended in the freezing night. THE JETLINER was an Air Florida flight bound from Washington National Airport to Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The airline said 79 people were aboard, including three ants and a crew of five. Lt. Hiram Brewton, a District of Columbia police spokesman, said there were believed to be only five survivors from the plane. Sam Jordan, head of the Mayor's Command Center, said an attempt would be made to raise the broken craft from the water at daybreak. Police Capt. Michael Canfield said at least six motorists were killed as the plane sheared the tops of cars and hit a truck. AT LEAST 17 survivors were taken to Washington hospitals, some suffering crash injuries, some the affects of the frigid river water. Stewardess Kelly Dunan survived the crash. "The plane started to shake and the next thing I knew, I was in the water," she told the doctor who treated her for hypothermia, a severe loss of body heat. Even as ambulances and rescue crews struggled through the snow-and the massive traffic jam it produced-to the bridge, three people were killed when a Washington subway car hurtled from its track near the Siithsonian Institution station. AS DARKNESS-and temperatures-fell, divers worked by floodlight in the ice-crusted river, searching for the vic- tims. Within minutes after the crash, helicopters pulled several survivors from the river. Presumably, most of the others aboard the plane perished under the ice. It was not known how many of the 17 hospitalized survivors were from the plane or vehicles struck on the bridge, a multilane artery with three spans connecting the city with See JET, Page -Road salt may, affect cit' water 9r suppl By JOHN ADAM Salt.

"We will begin negotiations with the new site full speed ahead," said Mary Anne Caballero, chairperson of the Cellar's Board of Directors. Board members, however, would not disclose where the new location would be. Board members said they will meet with the site owner today to discuss plans for renting space. According to Caballero, the board decided it could best serve students if it moved to a new site because the lease offered by the Union would have forced the store to drive up its prices. Last night, board directors refused to accept a lease outlined by Union Direc- tor Frank Cianciola that either would have required the U-Cellar to accept a month-to-month lease or a long-term lease. Cianciola said that if the U-Cellar did not sign a lease by today, the store would have to vacate the Union by March 1. Although the U-Cellar is making preparations to move, board members said they are still interested in negotiating with the Union on a month- to-month lease that would be feasible to the U-Cellar. "We would like to remain here on a month-to-month basis," Caballero said. "We just need to negotiate the fine poin- ts with him." Cianciola declined from making ex- tensive comments on the board's action until he receives official word from the board this morning. "The. Cellar has had a long-standing commitment to follow through on their involvement with the renovation project," Cianciola said. "Essentially we tried to make every accommodation we felt was possible." Cianciola said the deadline for signing the lease had to be set to keep the renovation project on schedule. Physical re-construction of the Union is to begin within the next few days, he said. U-Cellar directors decided to attempt further negotiation on the month-to- month proposal presented by Cianciola because of a- clause they say would allow the Union-with a little as 24 -hours notice-to repossess any portion of the store deemed necessary for the renovation project.

From AP and UPi WASHINGTON - The supreme Court yesterday gave police officers more power to conduct searches without warrants. In reinstating a drug possession con- viction stemming from a 1978 incident on the Washington State University campus, the court created a new excep- tion to the rule that police must first get a warrant before searching someone's home. THE JUSTICES, by 6-3, struck down, a Washington Supreme Court decision that would have made a new trial necessary for Neil Chrisman, who was convicted for possession of marijuana and LSD found in his Washington State dormitory room. Unless an emergency exists, police who spot evidence of a crime inside a person's home cannot enter and seach the home without a warrant. Yester-. day's ruling adds a post-arrest excep- tion to that rule. A university police officer saw Chrisman's roommate, Carl Overdahl, leave the dorm carrying a half-gallon bottle of gin the night of Jan. 21, 1978. THE OFFICER stopped Overdahl and asked for identificatiion, at which point Overdahl was considered legally under arrest. The student was accom- panied by the officer to his 11th-floor room to get some proof of his age. As the officer stood at the room's doorway, he saw seeds and a pipe he thought might be evidence of marijuana. He entered the room for verification and, after getting per- mission from Overdahl and Chrisman, conducted a search that turned up the IBurger ...rules on appeal marijuana and LSD. Chrisman's conviction was thrown out by the state Supreme Court when the officer's search was ruled to be a violation of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, which bans unreasonable searches by police. IN ANOTHER case, the Supreme Court, declaring its job is not to decide "hypothetical issues," yesterday threw out a major free speech controversy over the power of private colleges to bar non-student political activity on campus. By an 8-0 vote the court dismissed the case, leaving intact a New Jersey state court decision that Princeton Unvier- sity erred by kicking off its campus a U.S. Labor Party member who was distributing campaign literature. The justices, in an unsigned order, said they, dismissed the case because Princeton has changed its regultions on non-students political activity on cam- pus since the original suit was filed.

Lynn Bernard, 34, is suing her former em- ployer for $55,000 in damages and back pay because her colleagues were allowed to puff away on cigarettes. The suit was filed in Suffolk Superior Court Monday, the 18th anniversary of the U.S. surgeon general's report linking cigarette smoking to lung disease. Bernard says she was forced to leave her word processing job with Cameron and Colby last March when she was transferred to an area where cigarette smoking was allowed. The suit says her allergist told Bernard the exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke could cause "Significant damage to her lungs." It i i I
