How cold was it? Just fill in blanks for chilling answer

ROCKFORD, 111. (AP) When temperatures plunged to 26 degrees below zero, the Rockford Register Star asked its readers to finish the sentence, “It was so cold that...” Here are some of the responses turned in after the weekend cold snap: Our snowman begged us not to leave him out another night. Even my soft water was hard. We lit a candle and the flame froze before we could blow it out. I let my dog out, and I had to break him loose from the tree. Even the world leaders couldn’t get into a heated argument. When I went out my shadow froze to the sidewalk W'hen I called home to Arizona, the message caused the cactus to frost over. I baked a cake and put it outside to cool. A half-hour later, it was frosted.

You could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. I saw a fish jump in the river and the splash froze. I had to go up and break the smoke off my chimney. The firemen advise you to set fire to your house. The altar boys had to jump-start the candles. We opened the refrigerator to heat the house. My false teeth chattered ... and they weren’t even in my mouth. I looked out the window ... and I saw a cottontail pushing a jack rabbit to get him started. When police saw a bank robbery suspect and said, “Freeze,” he did. The snow is turning blue. I put the meat in the freezer to defrost. I saw a 32nd-degree Mason, and he was down to 15.

24-hour delay for space shuttle Cold weather halts launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The third straight night of freezing temperatures has forced a 24-hour delay of today’s scheduled first U.S. military man-in-space mission, the first time in 46 astronaut flights that cold weather has postponed a launch Shortly before midnight Tuesday, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that "extreme weather conditions in the area are projected to cause icing conditions on the external tank" that could be hazardous. At the time the temperature was near freezing and dropping. The launch was rescheduled for between 1:15 p.m and 4:15 p.m. Thursday. For security reasons, the Defense Department is keeping the exact launch

Army chief, 25 others charged in Aquino death

MANILA, Philippines (AP) A government prosecutor today charged the armed forces chief, Gen. Fabian C. Ver, two generals and 23 other men in the double murder of Benigno Aquino and the man the army claimed killed the opposition leader. The assassination of Aquino on Aug. 21, 1983, as he stepped off the airliner bringing him home from three years’ self-exile in the United States shocked the nation and led to a year of protests against the proWestern regime of President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Marcos, who initially indicated he supported the military’s claim that Aquino was assassinated by communist agent Rolando Galman, later appointed a five-

time secret, to hamper Soviet efforts to monitor the huge S3OO-million spy satellite to be deployed from space shuttle Discovery by the five military officers flying the mission. In the past, manned space flights have been postponed by technical problems, hurricanes and storms, but never by cold weather in generally sunny Florida. But a cold wave has lingered for three days in the area, dropping temperatures into the teens and low 20s, finally creating this “first” in the U.S. man-in-space program. The countdown, which began early Monday, had fallen hours behind schedule because of ice on the launch tower and frozen valves and water pipes. Most of these problems had been resolved, but as the time neared to put half a million

Reagan lends support to anti-abortion march

c. 1985 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON President Reagan Tuesday lent his support to one of the largest anti-abortion marches in the capital’s history, telling tens of thousands of demonstrators that the tide of history was with them. The crowd, which the police estimated at 71,500 people, filled Pennsylvania Avenue for 15 blocks on a windy and bitterly cold day. “I feel a great sense of solidarity with all of you,” Reagan said. “I want you to know I feel these days, as never before, the momentum is with us.” Reagan is the first president to address the demonstrators in the 12-year history of March for Life, generally held on the an-

Fog delays search for missing U.S. Air Force plane

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) Fog and stormy weather during the night forced U.S. officials to interrupt the search for a U.S. Air Force plane carrying 21 Americans that went down in the Caribbean about 500 yards off Honduras’ coast, a U.S. Embassy spokesman said. Robert Callahan, the embassy’s press attache, said the C-130A transport was on its way to the Honduran coastal town of Trujillo from Howard Air Force Base in Panama when it splashed into the water about 11 a.m. EST Tuesday. The embassy spokesman said the first reports of the plane going down came from Honduran fishermen, although no

member fact-finding board whose 10month probe led to today’s charges. Justice Bernardo Fernandez, government ombudsman, essentially followed the recommendations of the board’s majority report. Brig. Gen. Luther Custodio, chief of aviation security, and 16 other soldiers were charged with direct participation in a military conspiracy to kill Aquino. Ver, Maj. Gen. Prospero A. Olivas and six other soldiers were accused of being accessories in a military attempt to cover up the assassination and blame it on Galman. A civilian businessman, Hermilo Gosuico, was accused of being an accomplice to the conspiracy.

gallons of super-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel into the huge external fuel tank, officials became concerned that huge chunks of ice would form on the tank as temperatures dropped below freezing and remained there for several hours early today. Liquid hydrogen must be maintained at 423 degress below zero and liquid oxygen at 297 degrees below. The major concern was that the chunks would break off during the stress of launch and damage some of the heat-resistant tiles that shroud Discovery’s fuselage. The tiles protect the shuttle from re-entry heat that reaches 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. The forecast called for the deep freeze to end, with temperatures rising into the 60s on Thursday.

niversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortions legal. Reagan spoke by telephone and sound system from the Oval Office as the crowd of marchers swelled beneath the Washington Monument, a quarter of a mile away, before advancing down the broad avenue to the Supreme Court Building. The crowd, warmed by Reagan’s support, cheered lustily in the numbing cold. They cheered, too, although less loudly, when he cautioned that violence against abortion clinics had no place in the national debate. “We cannot condone the threatening or taking of human life to protest the taking of human life by way of abortion,” Reagan said.

Search for Navy plane, too

AGANA, Guam (AP) The Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard searched today for a Navy A-3 reconnaissance plane carrying nine people that was overdue on a flight from Japan to Guam and was presumed down in the Pacific Ocean. Lt. Roberta Hackney, a duty officer

wreckage was sighted by searchers. He said the search was suspended after several hours because of a combination of

“Surely recent advances in medical technology have changed the debate,” Reagan said. “Surgeons now speak of ‘tlje patient’ in the womb.” He also predicted that a new anti-abortion videotape, “The Silent Scream,” could have a powerful influence on the Congress. A copy of the videotape was delivered to the White House before Reagan spoke and a White House spokesman said the president had seen the film. “For the first time, through the new technique of real time ultrasound imaging, we’re able to see with our own eyes on film, the abortion of a 12-week old unborn child,” Reagan said. “It’s been said that if every member of Congress could see that film, they would

in Guam, said an air and sea search was launched 125 miles north of Guam where the plane is thought to have gone down after disappearing from radar screens at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday (9:30 p.m. Tuesday EST). “The weather looks good and we’re still hopeful,” Ms. Hackney said.

move quickly to end the tragedy of abor tion,” Reagan said, “and I pray that they will.” Reagan appeared to change his position on justifiable abortion, although the White House later disclaimed any change. Nellie J. Gray, founder and president of March for Life, told Reagan at the end of their loudspeaker conversation, “We want the paramount human life amendment with no compromises,” and Reagan said, “Good for you and I support you. ” That amendment would not permit abortion even to save the life of the mother. Reagan has previously endorsed the life of the mother as valid ground for an abortion, and the White House said his position remained unchanged.

Callahan said the five crew members and 16 passengers were “all U.S. personnel, that’s our understanding.” The plane was assigned to the 440th Tactical Airlift Wing, an Air Force reserve unit based at Billy Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, he said. “No hostile action was indicated in the mishap,” according to a statement issued by U.S. military officials at Palmerola Air Base, 90 miles northwest of Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital. Trujillo is about 240 miles north of Tegucigalpa and is near a regional military training center for Honduran and Salvadoran troops.
