Reporters also detained for trying to see Walesa

GDANSK, Poland (AP) Police guards today barred Western reporters from the home of Lech Walesa, leader of the outlawed Solidarity union, one day after he was seized and held for nine hours to block his participation in an mass rally. Guards patrolled Walesa’s apartment building in a Gdansk suburb. Several reporters who approached the building were detained by authorities and released about an hour later. However, military controls on the Baltic port city appeared more relaxed today than Thursday when the Communist government’s martial-law enforcers defused an explosive protest by detaining Walesa and flooding the city with thousands of riot police. Several hundred workers who learned of Walesa’s nine-hour detention screamed abuse at the riot squads, who teargassed them and sprayed them with powerful water cannon in brief melees. No arrests or injuries were reported.

Walesa had hoped to address a memorial service Thursday for scores of workers killed outside the V.I. Lenin shipyard in food riots 12 years ago. Instead he was taken from his apartment by plainclothes police at 10:25 a.m. and released at about 7:30 p.m., Walesa’s wife Danuta said in a telephone interview. Walesa, who helped form Solidarity in August 1980, was seized on Dec. 13,1981 when the government decreed martial law because of what it called the independent union’s attempt to subvert the Communist system. The union was formally outlawed Oct. 8. Walesa was freed last month when the government declared he was no longer considered a political threat. But the government warned the popular labor leader not to address public gatherings or participate in what it considered anti-state activities. Thousands of riot police ringed the shipyard, patrolled a

Lost school bus found safe, but stuck on Alabama road

CLANTON, Ala. (AP) Worried parents and police searched through the night for a bus carrying a girls’ high school basketball team before the bus was found today stuck on a dirt road, officials said. All aboard were fine, said troopers. The bus had been expected no later than 8 p.m. in Weogufka, Coosa County, where a game was to be held. It was found nearly 12 hours later. Parents, concerned citizens and Superintendent Don Finlayson had gathered at the National Guard Armory early today to accompany sheriff’s deputies on a painstaking ground search. The troopers had searched both major roads

soaring steel monument to the slain workers outside the yard, and cruised streets leading to it. They checked documents of passersby and barred access to those who did not live or work in the area. Despite the massive police turnout, a crowd of workers gathered at the base of the monument during the midafternoon shift change. They chanted “Free Lech!,” and “Solidarity!" before dispersing on their own after about 15 minutes. As the workers moved away, police rolled a water cannon and an armored personnel carrier into an adjacent street, and a helmeted squad of feared “Zomo” riot police advanced toward the retreating workers. “Gestapo!,” the retreating workers screamed. A crowd of several hundred people gathered shortly after at the main Gdansk train station, less than a mile from the shipyard. Police tear-gassed them and they scattered.

between the towns, about 25 to 30 miles apart, and found nothing. A helicopter was sent up after 11 p.m., and deputies from four counties joined Chilton police and auxiliary groups searching near this small town in central Alabama. Bill Blackshear, a dispatcher for state troopers in Montgomery, said the bus was carrying about 12 team members. Coach Lamar Cost and perhaps a female assistant coach. Cost was believed to be driving. The Chilton County High School girl’s team, of Clanton, was to play the Weogufka High team Thursday night Parents of some of the girls on the bus drove to the game, and were waiting when officials realized the bus was missing, said Hera Scruggs.

Air Force officials still'in the dark' about B-52 tragedy

SACRAMENTO. Calif. (AP) A congressman called for an investigation of B-52 maintenance after nine crewmen died when their aircraft careened into a muddy cow pasture only 18 days after another aging bomber burned at the end of a runway. Air Force spokesman Capt Louis Figueroa said Mather Air Force Base officials were “completely in the dark ’ about the cause of the accident Thursday moments after the 450,000pound bomber took off on a training flight. Witnesses said the pilot appeared to desperately maneuver the bomber to miss stores, homes and farm buildings and smash instead into the largest field off the end of the runway. All four instructors and five trainees aboard the aircraft died. Figueroa said there was no distress call to the base’s tower after the plane took off. Unlike commercial aircraft, the bomber had no flight recorders, officials said. Rep. Robert Matsui, whose district includes Mather, said he wants an investigation of Thursday’s crash and a Nov. 29

incident when a B-52 burst into flames on landing at Castle Air Force Base, 100 miles to the south. The crew escaped safely in the Castle incident The two accidents “raise some questions,’’ said Terry Michael, an aide to the Democratic congressman. “Are they properly maintaining the B-52s at Castle?” An Air Force team has begun an inquiry into the cause of Thursday’s crash, expected to take about two weeks, said Col. Gobel James, commander of the Mather base. Wreckage from the eightengine bomber was strewn hundreds of yards across the muddy field. “I saw the thing coming,” said Mike Koewler, president of a nearby rendering company. “... It looked to me like a normal takeoff, then it took a substantial drop in altitude to the point where you knew the guy was in deep trouble.” Kowler said it appeared the pilot “knew he was in trouble and he tried to cut into that field.” If the plane had gone straight, “it would have wiped out a couple of gas stations and maybe some houses,” he said.

Holidays happier for Fiske family

BOSTON I AP) As her family applauded and Santa Claus delivered a gift, a smiling 1-year-old Jamie Fiske returned home Thursday,evening from a life-saving liver transplant. “We re just glad to be in Boston,” said her father, Charles Fiske. “When we brought her out to Minneapolis, she was dying. And now, here she is.” Jamie was the youngest person ever to receive a liver transplant. She had been expected to die by Thanksgiving without it. “If Jamie could talk, she would probably say, ‘Thank you’ to everyone for their prayers and love,” said Fiske. “She really has been adopted by the while world. ” Jamie, Fiske and his wife, Marilyn, landed in Boston at 6 p.m. and were greeted by family and friends at Logan International Airport. Santa Claus was among the crowd and he presented the Fiskes with a doll almost as big as Jamie.

Plane crash biggest loss ever to FBI

MONTGOMERY, Ohio (AP) The FBI mourned four agents the most lost in any operation in the agency’s 74vear history who died when their small plane crashed while they were being led to $50,000 in buried cash by an embezzler. The plane plunged into a bookstore Thursday in this Cincinnati suburb and burst into flames, killing all six aboard. Four others on the ground were injured. The plane was en route to the

Senate approves MX missile money

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate today handed President Reagan his first MX missile victory of the lame-duck congressional session by agreeing to buy the new nuclear weapons after Congress approves a basing plan. By a 56-42 margin, the Senate enacted a White House-backed amendment to a stopgap spending bill that includes S9BB million to buy the first five missiles. Last week, the House defeated money to buy the missiles. When the Senate finally passes the entire stopgap bill, it will be sent to a House-Senate conference committee to try to iron out the differences, including the MX procurement question. House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. has he doesn’t think the House will go along with the Reagan request.

site where Carl H. Johnson said he had buried $50,000 embezzled from a Chicago-area bank in 1975. “We’re an FBI family. It hits us as it would hit any family particularly when we consider the time of the year we’re talking about,” said Alfred E. Smith, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Cincinnati. “There’s never been a situation where the lives of four agents were lost.” All four agents, based in

SWAT team frees hostages

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) An ex-convict accused of killing his in-laws in Indiana and holding seven relatives hostage in a Tennessee farmhouse was high on drugs and upset about his broken marriage, authorities say. No shots were fired when a police SWAT team burst into the house Thursday evening and captured D.H. Fleenor, 31, of Hanover, Ind., after a fivehour standoff, Greene County Sheriff Gail Colyer said. The hostages five children, Fleenor’s estranged wife and his cousin were unharmed. “He said he was going to kill the kids if we didn’t quit harassing him, so we decided to go in,” the sheriff said. “He was pretty well spaced out.” Colyer identified the hostages

The Senate proposal says none of the MX production money can be spent until after both houses of Congress approve a basing plan, which the Reagan administration will send to Congress after next March 1. Passage came after more than three hours of debate. “This is probably going to be the last chance for the MX,” said Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga. He noted that the missile has been studied for at least eight years and more than 30 basing proposals have been considered and rejected. Nunn urged approval of the compromise because of the “significant concessions” by the president. But the Senate voted 70-28 to kill a motion by Sen. Alan Cranston. D-Calif., to eliminate production money. Reagan has proposed

“Massport wanted Jamie to have an early Christmas,” said Santa, played by Phil Orlandella, a public affairs spokesman for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates the airport. Fiske said the family planned to return to their Bridgewater home, "decorate the tree and buy some gifts for Jamie.” It would be the first time since July 6 that the family, including 2'2-vear-old Darren, would be together. Jamie received a new liver in a transplant operation in Minneapolis six weeks ago, after her father made an emotional plea to pediatricians meeting in New York to find a liver donor to save the life of his “sunshine.” “She’s a normal little 1-year-old girl now,” said Dr. John Najarian. who headed the transplant team that performed the operation at University of Minnesota Hospitals. “She should be able to live a normal life. ”

Chicago, were married. Among them they had 13 children. Also killed was Johnson, 48, and Patrick Daly, 68, a retired Chicago policeman from Evergreen Park, 111.

Fleenor was charged with being a fugitive and jailed without bond pending arraignment today before Judge Jimmy Carter of Greene County General Sessions Court. Colyer said no other Tennessee charges were planned, and authorities hope to return the man to Indiana as soon as possible. Indiana authorities filed warrants Thursday charging

building 100 MX weapons, which he renamed the “Peacekeeper,” and putting them in 100 silos in a “dense pack” formation near Cheyenne, Wyo. But “dense pack” has been widely criticized and came in for more fire today during the dramatic debate that was watched by only a handful of people in the galleries. Vice President George Bush, acting in his capacity as presiding officer of the Senate, was on hand. He would have voted in case of a tie. Reagan, after the House defeat, endorsed the compromise proposal that would retain procurement money, but ban its being spent until Congress approves a basing mode. Originally, the compromise called for Reagan to submit basing plans by next March 1.

Johnson dropped out of sight and lived underground for seven years, using at least three assumed names until he surrendered Dec. 2, two weeks after his ex-wife, Lois, obtained a court order declaring him legally dead. She divorced him in 1975 when the bank threatenened to sue her for the embezzled money. Johnson, after resurfacing, led the FBI to $50,000 he buried in a forest preserve near Chicago.

Harlow, 58, and his wife, Nyla Jean Harlow, were found dead in their Madison, Ind., home Wednesday night, Jefferson County, Ind., Prosecutor Merritt K. Alcorn said. Colyer said Indiana authorities believe the Harlows were shot in the head with the .22-caliber revolver that police took from Fleenor. “He hasn’t grasped what he has done,” Mrs. Fleenor told reporters afterward, saying her husband had been drinking and taking amphetamines and methaqualone all day. “He threatened us, me and the kids, if we tried to do anything foolish,” she said. “He said he would kill us.”
