The incident forced officials to
reroute the line of dignitaries through
the crowd of about 250 protesters, who
began chanting, "Trident is death!
Trident is death! "
Two other protesters were arrested
for defacing an American flag, and all
were dragged to a police van to the
cheers of the other demonstrators.
Groton Police Chief Joseph Sandora
said the demonstration was about one-
tenth the size of the protest in Novem-

ber when the nation's first Trident
submarine, the USS Ohio, was com-
missioned.
Now that it has been commissioned,
the Michigan will be fitted with elec-
tronic equipment in New London
before leaving for tests off the Florida
coast. However, Navy officials would
not provide a timetable for the
testing, as is their procedure. Its
eventual homeport will be in Bangor,

W MANNHEIM, West Germany (AP) -
A U.S. Army helicopter crashed onto a
West German highway and exploded
yesterday during an international air
show, killing all 44 people aboard as
thousands of horified spectators wat-
Iched, officials said.
The victims were said to include five
American crew members and
skydivers from at least three other
abM countries.
THE CRASH was one of the worst

helicopter accidents on record.
Two cars were hit by flying debris but
the startled motorists escaped unin-
jured, police said, adding that traffic
was unusually light at the time.
"All we heard was a bang and we
looked up and pieces of the rotor blades
started flying, through the air and the
helicopter just went into a nosedive
immediately and crashed into the
ground," said Derk Stepnblitz who was
among about 10,000 people attending

Personal
income
gains on
inflation
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Per capita
personal income rose 10.7 percent
nationwide last year to nearly $10,500,
with Alaska ranking as the richest state
in the union and Mississippi the poorest,
the government reported yesterday.
±Since prices rose 8.5 percent between
1980 and 1981, the report noted, the in-
come figure means most Americans did
a good job of keeping ahead of inflation
during the year. The rise in per capita
income exceeded or equalled the
national climb in, prices in 44 states, it
said.
THE AVERAGE income per person
was $10,491 in 1981, up from $9,480 the
year before, the Commerce Depar-
tment's Bureau of Economic Analysis
said.
The figures put Alaska's per capita
income at $13,763, the highest in the
nation, while Mississippi's was $7,408,
the lowest. Michigan's average was
$10,790.
The report said the ten states with the
largest percentage increases in income
last year were North Dakota,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana,
Vermont, and New York.
The ten states with the smallest per-
centage increases were Michigan,
Wyoming, Nevada, Wisconsin, Oregon,
New Mexico, Hawaii, Utah, West
Virginia and Alaska.

come in and land," Mayor Wilhelm
Varnholt told reporters.
THE PILOT did not say he was in
trouble, Varnholt said.
"He didn't have a chance to put down
that chopper safely," a spokesman at
the Neuostheim control tower said in a
telephone interview. He reported
seeing the Chinook lose one blade from
the rear rotor, then others.
"The pilot did not have a chance," he
repeated.
A photographer returning from the
scene said the chopper hit a divider,
scattering debris. across all four lanes
of the autobahn.
THERE WAS no official report on the
cause of the crash, but Varnholt said a
bolt undernearth the rotor blade ap-
parently came loose. "The tran-
smission was ripped apart," he said.
A spokesman at Mannheim police
headquarters said the helicopter
carried five American crew members
and 39 skydivers from England, France,
and West German - believed to be
mostly civilians participating in the
Mannheim Air Show.
Varnholt said the skydivers belonged
to clubs in West Germany, and Man-
nheim's sister cities of Toulon, France,
and Swansea, Wales. Some American
guests were also aboard, he added.
A local radio station reporting from
the crash scene, Suedwestfunk One,
said the victims included two American
soldiers and five American crew mem
bers, 23 Frenchmen, seven Britons, six
West Germans and a Canadian woman.
No names were available.
