United scrambles to
keep skies friendly
CHICAGO - United Airlines
yesterday unveiled plans to secure
its status as the nation's largest air
carrier while unsettled back-to-
work issues between the company
and its pilots and flight attendants
were debated in federal court.
United Airlines officials announ-
ced plans to restore service to near
normal by July 1 and offer incen-
tives they hope will regain
customers lost to other airlines
during the strike.
The pilots strike that crippled
the nation's largest carrier for
nearly four weeks ended Friday
night.
Contaminated cheese
death total hits 30
LOS ANGELES - Health
authorities yesterday confirmed
another fatality from a bacteria in-
fection in a Mexican-style cheese,
raising to 30 the number of repor-
ted deaths in Southern California.
Most of the victims have been
pregnant women and infants, but
the latest was an 82-year-old man.
Like almost all the other victims,
he was Hispanic.
County Health Department
spokeswoman Toby Milligan also
said two other non-fatal cases of
the listeria infection, apparently
caused by cheese produced by
Jalisco Mexican Products Inc.,
have been confirmed.
Boy who killed parts
gets 40-year sentence
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A high
school junior who hacked his
mother and father to death with an
ax was sentenced Monday to 40
years in prison by a judge who said
the attack would never have oc-
cured if the parents had not been
child abusers.
The judge sentenced Dale Whip-
ple, 18, to a term 10 years more
than the minimum in Indiana for a
double-murder conviction, but just
one-third of the maximum 120-year
sentence that prosecutors
requested.
Guidelines broken for
Mengele exhumation
SAO PAOLO, Brazil - Forensic
experts failed to observe proper
procedures when they exhumed
remains from the grave of a
drowing victim that may have
been Nazi war criminal Josef
Mengele, a newspaper said yester-
day.
"Almost all the guidelines for a
correctly done exhumation were
broken," said the Jornal do Brasil
newspaper, which quoted uniden-
tified officials.
The newspaper said during the
June 6 exhumation, forensic exper-
ts failed to take routine
photographs of the remains before
they were removed from the cof-
fin.
Court toughens up
on forced retirement
WASHINGTON - The Supreme
Court, ruling in favor of
firefighters and airline pilots in
separate cases, yesterday gave
older Americans with physically
demanding jobs greater rights to
work beyond traditional
retirement ages.
The justices ruled unanimously
that Bpltimore could not force its
firefighters to retire at 55, despite
a federal policy of retiring most
government firefighters at that
age.
The court also held 8-0, with
Justice Lewis Powell not par-
ticipating, that Western Airlines
must consider making pilota into
flight engineersif they request it
when they reach the Federal
Aviation Administration's
required retirement age of 60 for
commerical pilots.
In both cases, the court said em-
ployers, in setting mandatory
retirement ages, must be able to
prove that age is a "bonda fide oc-
cupational qualification" for a
specific job. The court said neither
Baltimore nor Western had done
that.
Five of the high court's nine
members are more than 75 and
another three are more than 60.

"The issue here is that women are
people who belong to the church,"
said Joan Flikkema, executive
secretary of the group. "It is a
question of authority . . . whether you
are empowered by the church to per-
form some of its functions."
She said that women and men have
left the church because of the
prohibition against women in church
office, and predicted women will
eventually be allowed to become both
elders and ministers.
