History's worst aviation disaster
2 747s collide while taxiingSANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Canary Islands (UPI)--The worst aviation disas-
ter in history occurred yesterday on a fog-shrouded runway here.
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 522bodies from the wreckage.
The Dutch jet rammed the Pan Am
747 broadside. Island officials andnews reports indicate the deathtoll could climb higher.
KILM says all 249 passengers andcrew members on the Dutch jet died.
All were Dutch citizens. There were
381 passengers and 25 crew membersreported 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 airportterminal. A Canary Islands separa-tist movement is suspected of plant-ing the bomb.
One survivor from the Pan Am planewas 37-year-old Californian Jim
Naik. He later said he believes he'sthe only person aboard the Pan Amjet who was not seriously injured or
killed.At the moment of impact, Nail
said, "everything started explodingand crumbling down. Within five
minutes, the whole plane was in
ashes."

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

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.

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

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-

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

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.

Up front, North Carolina has six-foot-seven freshman Mike O'Koren.He looked as poised as a battle-tested senior amid the intense pres-sure of Saturday's victory overNevada-Las Vegas.

NEW YORK (UPI)--Chris Evert re-tained her title as the queen ofwomen's tennis yesterday, but 20-year-old Sue Barker of England hadthe crown teetering in the finalsof the Virginia Slims Championship.
Evert dropped the first set in thetitle match, then came back tobeat her English opponent, 2-6, 6-1,6-1.
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.

te meet tonightmay have an ace in the hole, someonewho can come off the bench and dothe job, Bernie Toone. It was hishot hand that saved the day whenWhitehead quickly picked up fourfouls against Wake Forest earlierin the tournament.
If psychology is to play a partin tonight's outcome, then Marquettehas the edge. It will be McGuire'sfinal game as a college coach. Heis retiring. Do college playersstill try to win one for the coach?If they like him, they try a littleharder. McGuire, it is said, hasan excellent rapport with his play-ers.

CHRIS EVERTWhen she returned to her strength
from the baseline, Barker seemed tocome apart at the seams.
Barker's demise began when shedouble faulted and fell behind 2-0in the second set. Evert held for
a 3-0 advantage and after Barker
held her service, Chris ran out theset by taking the next three games.
Evert picked up where she left off
in the third set when she broke
Barker's first service. When
Barker finally held again, Evert
closed the match by taking the next
four games, giving up only seven
points.
