Israel releases 100
Lebanese prisoners
TYRE, Lebanon - One-hundred
Lebanese Shiite and Palestinian
prisoners whose freedom was
demanded by hijackers of a TWA
jetliner were freed by Israel
yesterday and bused home to
southern Lebanon for a happy
reunion with relatives and friends.
Cheering crowds of relatives and
well-wishers greeted the 70 Shiite
Moslem and 30 Palestinian
prisoners as they were taken by
bus to Lebanon after their release
from an Israeli military jail, where
335 Arab detainees remain.
The freed prisoners, unlike
others released before them, did
not shout slogans as they left the
Atlit prison camp near Haifa in
Israel. They said only that they
had been well treated in captivity.
Top Indian officials
guilty of espionage
NEW DELHI, India - A judge
yesterday found three retired high-
ranking Indian military officers
guilty of selling secrets to the CIA.
Judge K.B. Andley found Maj.
Gen. Frank Larkins, his brother
Air Vice-Marshal Ken Larkins and.
Lt. Col. Jasbir Singh, all retired,
guilty of conspiracy and
espionage. He sentenced them to 10
years in prison.
The trial was held in secret for
national security reasons, but the
sentencing was open to the public.
Sources close to the proceedings
said the men were found guilty of
delivering secret information to
U.S. Embassy officials believed to
be working for the CIA in New
Delhi.
Alaska gov. acted
legally, ex-aide says
JUNEAU, Alaska - Alaska Gov.
William Sheffield helped a top
political backer get a $9.1 million
state office lease but did nothing
illegal, the Democrat's ex-chief
aide told a historic impeachment
hearing.
Sheffield, 57, simply did not un-
derstand the implication when he
changed the bid requirements for
the controversial 10-year lease, the
governor's former chief of staff
testified.
John Shivley was the leadoff
witness at a Senate Rules Commit-
tee hearing called as part of a
special session of the Alaska
Legislature to consider impeach-
ment of the first-term governor.
Colombian airplane
crashes; kills 80
BOGOTA, Colombia - A Colom-
bian Air Force cargo plane
providing commercial passenger
service during a pilots' strike
crashed yesterday in a jungle
during a rainstorm, apparently
killing all the approximately 66
people aboard, authorities said.
The plane left Leticia, a city in
extreme southeast Colombia, for
Bogota at 4:47 p.m. (5:47 p.m.
EDT), Maj. Rafael Hurtado of the
Civil Aeronautics Department
said. "Fifteen minutes into the
flight they reported they had a fire
in engine No. 3 and they were
returning to Leticia."
Consumer Power
rate hike approved
LANSING, Mich. - The Public
Service Commission yesterday
unanimously approved a $94-
million electric rate increase
designed to keep Consumers
Power Co. out of bankruptcy.
The hike will raise Consumers'
rates overall by 5.75 percent, but
the impact on individual
customers will vary from a cut to
an increase of as much as 17 per-
cent, due to the effect of a new
rate plan.
Attorney General Frank Kelley
- who vowed to fight the increase
in court - claimed the typical
residential customer will pay 16
percent more.
Paul Knopick, a spokesman for
Consumers, said the increase is
"crucial to our ability to survive
our financial problems."
