It happened when two Boeing 747 jumbo jets, one belonging to Pan Ameri- can and the other to KILM Royal Dutch Airlines, collided as they taxied across the airport here. There were 655 persons aboard both planes. Police, soldiers and fire- men have recovered at least 522 bodies from the wreckage. The Dutch jet rammed the Pan Am 747 broadside. Island officials and news reports indicate the death toll could climb higher. KILM says all 249 passengers and crew members on the Dutch jet died. All were Dutch citizens. There were 381 passengers and 25 crew members reported on the American plane, and they're still counting the bodies. The Pan Am jet, a charter flight, originated in Los Angeles. The pas- sengers were enroute to a Mediter- ranean cruise. The crash was the biggest disaster in aviation history. The worst pre- vious tragedy was the 1974 crash of a Turkish DC-10 near Paris that killed 346 people. Spanish and American experts have begun an investigation of the acci- dent. Both planes had been diverted from the original destination of Las Palmas, 65 miles away, because of a bomb explosion at the airport terminal. A Canary Islands separa- tist movement is suspected of plant- ing the bomb. One survivor from the Pan Am plane was 37-year-old Californian Jim Naik. He later said he believes he's the only person aboard the Pan Am jet who was not seriously injured or killed. At the moment of impact, Nail said, "everything started exploding and crumbling down. Within five minutes, the whole plane was in ashes."

No prime suspects

Kidnap-murderer sought in DetroitBIRMINGHAM, Mich. (UPI)--Police

seeking the sex killer of 11-year-old Timothy King, latest victim ina recent series of child kidnap-murders in Detroit's northern sub-urbs, believe it will take a lengthyinvestigation to crack the case.

State Police Lt. Robert Robertsontold a weekend news conference,"There are no prime suspects rightnow" in the slaying of youngTimothy, but he said detectivesfeel. they are making headway.

"We have eliminated a lot ofpeople," said Robertson, who is co-

ordinating the 200-man police task shortly before his body was discov-force formed to solve the King case ered.and three other similar slayings.

"We think we're on the righttrack. We think we may have brushedvery close to the killer already.We may even have interviewed him."

An autopsy showed the boy wassexually molested and suffocated

In the King case, as well as thethree other child kidnap-slayingsin the past 14 months, the killerbathed his victims, cleaned theirclothes and even manicured theirfingernails before disposing of thebodies.

All victims were between the agesof 10 to 12.

Rizzo stands firm on strikePHILADELPHIA (UPI)--Philadelphia

Mayor Frank Rizzo isn't budging aninch on the mass transit strikethat has brought Philadelphia's com-muter system to a halt.

As Rizzo puts it, the strike can"last 10 years as far as I'm con-cerned."

The 400,000 members of the Trans-port Workers Union Local 234 walkedout at midnight Thursday, leavingan estimated 400,000 daily commuterswithout buses, trolleys or subways.

The strike began just a few hoursafter the union voted to reject atentative contract agreement thatwould have given them a 60 cents anhour wage increase over two years.The city, however, is refusing to

flexible, and is willing to allowEgypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia or someother Arab state represent the Pal-estinians in a dialogue with theUnited States.

Talks to begin in Paris

Vietnam says postwar aid and statusof missing Americans related questions

TOKYO (UPI)--Vietnam said yester-day the United States will have tosupply postwar economic aid if itexpects Hanoi's cooperation infinding missing American servicemen.

Vice Foreign Minister Phan Hien,discussing his recent meeting withthe White House delegation led byUnited Auto Workers president LeonardWoodcock in an interview broadcastby Hanoi Radio, said the talks hadthree topics:

"They were normalization of rela-tions, investigating the status of

missing Americans, and the Americancontribution to healing the woundsof war in Vietnam," Hien said.

"The questions raised in these

talks are absolutely mutually re-lated questions."Vietnam told the Woodcock mission

in Hanoi that the United States must

pay reparations under terms of the1975 Paris agreement under whichU.S. forces withdrew from Indochina,Mien said, but the American envoys

claimed the Paris accords now arevoid.

Pres. Carter said last Wednesdaythe United States will begin talkswith Vietnam in Paris, "without de-lay" and without preconditions oneither side.

However, Hien said, Vietnamese ne-gotiators told the Woodcock partypostwar American aid to Vietnam is"an obligation that could not beavoided."

Ma Bell may be overchargingtelephone users billions

(UPI)--A Bell Telephone competitorsays Ma Bell may be overcharginghome and business telephone usersmore than $2 billion yearly to fi-nance a war on competition.

The general counsel for the NorthAmerican Telephone Association, whichrepresents 400 independent telephoneequipment manufacturers, says theovercharge averages about $20 a yearfor every main telephone subscriber.

His comments came in material pre-pared for a Senate subcommitteehearing today on legislation aimed atstifling Bell competition.

He said the point is crucial be-cause of Bell's claim that businessservices subsidize home telephonesubscribers, and that a virtual mon-opoly is the only way to insure con-tinuance of such a subsidy.

Gen. Brown comments on CongressCHICAGO (UPI)--Yesterday's edi-

tions of the Chicago Sun-Times havesome more choice comments by AirForce Gen. George Brown, chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Brown, you'll remember, got intotrouble in 1974 and again lastyear for his remarks about Israeland American Jews. Now, the Sun-Times says Brown told top militaryand government officials thatCongress has meddled and behavedirresponsibly in defense and foreignaid matters. He also reportedlysaid that persons concerned abouthaving their mail read by the gov-ernment ought to have their mailread.

Reaction yesterday was mild.California Sen. Alan Cranston saysthe comments should not lead to his

dismissal. Presidential News Secy.Jody Powell added it was not neces-sary for everybody in the Carter ad-ministration to agree with thePresident.

NCAA basketball championship

North Carolina and MarquetATLANTA (PI)--A new college

basketball champLon will be crownedhore LoniHht. Marquette plays NorthCarol na in the wind-up of the mostupset-ridden, unpredictable NCAAtournament in memory. It's fittingthat the last chapter features twounpredictabLe teams.

The two coaches, Al McGuire ofMarquette and Dean Smith of NorthCarolina, are not afraid to inno-vote. It's not likely a coach atthis point will try somethingdrastically different from the pat-tern that carried his team into thechampionship.

But just because people thinkthat, McGuire or Smith, or both,could do something unexpected. Theyare among the best in their business.

Smith's fellow coaches yesterdayvoted him Coach-of-the-Year in thetop NCAA divisions. Coach-of-the-Year honors in the other two divi-sions went to the men whose teamswon the titles in those divisions.Maybe the coaches who voted forSmith were making a prediction ontonight's game.

The record would seem to backthem up. North Carolina lost fourgames during the season. Marquettewas beaten seven times.

North Carolina has All-Americanguard Phil Ford, probably the bestindividual player on the court to-night. Championship basketballgames are won by teams, though, andthat's what will happen tonight.

Both clubs thrive on ball control,but each in its own way. Marquettehas a slow, deliberate style, movingthe ball around until the bestscoring opportunity presents itself.North Carolina has a four corneroffense, designed by Smith to slowdown the pace of a game.

It was the fourth time in sixyears that Evert has won the crownand the victory netted her a $50,000paycheck.

Barker broke Evert's serve twicein the opening set and forced herinto several uncharacteristic er-rors. Evert, who is known for hericy composure even in difficultsituations, seemed disgusted withthe pattern of the match and aband-oned her occasional attempts tocharge the net in the second set.
