IN BRIEF
Complied from Associated Press and
United Press International reports
Soviet jet crashes, 77 aboard
LUXEMBOURG- A Soviet airliner carrying 77 people veered off the run-
way, plunged into a stand of trees and exploded in flames just after landing
at Luxembourg airport last night. Police and fire officials said 12 people
were killed and 65 injured, while airport officials put the number of dead at
53.
The survivors, some of them burned severely, were taken to five hospitals
in the city and to a burn center in Metz, France, about 37 miles to the south.
Airport officials said the aircraft, an Ilyushin 62 of the Soviet airline
Aeroflot, landed in good weather, and appeared to have made a proper lan-
ding until it suddenly turned to the right and skidded about 1,000 yards.
It shot over a small pond and plunged into some woods, knocking down
trees for about 100 yards before it came to a halt at the end of a small valley,
according to airport officials and television reports. Several explosions
followed and the plane caught fire.
About 40 people, including six crew members, apparently got out of the
burning plane on their own, Luxembourg's RTL television said. Some made
it to a farmhouse not far from where the plane came to rest, while others
fainted as they ran, the report added.
Terrorists bomb Spanish cities
Terrorist bombers struck in 11 major cities across Spain and dynamited a
West German train carrying U.S. Army supplies yesterday. Attacks also
were reported in Italy and France.
In Bonn, a West German governmnet security report warned new attacks
were expected against American targets by the Red Army Faction and other
left-wing bands.
Spanish police said a shadowy urban guerrilla group set off 15 crude home-
made bombs outside banks, tax offices and other public buildings in Madrid
and 10 other Spanish cities, causing damage but no casualties.
Interior Minister Juan Jose Roson blamed the attacks on RAPO, a
terrorist outfit known by its Spanish acronym for the Oct. 1 Anti-Fascist
Revolutionary Groups. He linked the attacks with the Oct. 28 general elec-
tions.
Judge thwarts death penalty
DETROIT- A federal judge yesterday rejected a plea by advocates of the
death penalty to order the question on the November election ballot, killing
the issue for this year.
U.S. District Judge ThomasThornton said he did not have jurisdiction in
the case.
"There will not be any further court challenges," said Michael Kenny,
chief spokesman for L. Brooks Patterson, Oakland County prosecutor and
Republican attorney general candidate who generated the petition drive.
Kenny said the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, where an appeal
could befiled, is a "liberal bench" and unlikely to become involved after
three courts already have ruled unfavorably.
Kenny noted the effort is "running out of time" with the election barely a
month away.
Derailed chemical-filled train
explodes again, 3,200 evacuate
LIVINGSTON, La.- A third explosion rattled 43 derailed railroad cars in
a deserted Louisiana town yesterday, forcing 200 more people to join 3,000
others driven from their homes by raging flames and plumes of toxic gas.
Crews in protective suits and air masks discovered toxic ground and
stream contamination a half-mile away from the blazing chemical tank
cars. A black haze darkened the sky as far as 10 miles away.
The 101-car Illinois Central Gulf freight train derailed early Tuesday and
rocked the area as tankloads of oil and chemicals burst into balls of flame,
state police said.
Attempts to douse the cars were stopped when officials discovered a tank
car filled with sodium metals in the middle of the burning, smoky wreckage.
Water and sodium combined create a violent, fiery explosion.
Firefighters plan to let the blaze burn itself out, which would take about
five days, Gov. Dave Treen said.
A tank car carrying tetraethyl lead, a gasoline additive, burst into flames
Tuesdayand a third car loaded with vinyl chloride exploded yesterday, sen-
ding metal flying through the air.
House bill to award grants
to combat drunk driving
WASHINGTON--- The House acted to counter what one member called "a
tragic epidemic" and passed legislation yesterday offering rewards to states
that crack down on drunken drivers.
The bill marks the first congressional effort to establish a strong national
effort to combat drunk driving.
"More Americans have died in drunk driving crashes in the last two years
than during the entire Vietnam War," said Rep. James Howard (D-N.J.), a
co-sponsor of the measure with Michael Barnes, (D-Md.)
Howard and Barnes said drunken driving was responsible for killing more
than 25,000 people and maiming 650,000 others last year alone.
The House passed the measure on a voice vote and the Senate is expected
to act on the same measure today.
The legislation would establish a three-year, $125 million grant program to
encourage states to set up strict, coordinated drunken-driver control
programs.
The bill would set aside $25 million in fiscal 1983 from the Highway Trust
Fund and $50 million each of the following two years.
