Travelers stranded in Rockies, Plains

By ARTHUR BUCKLER Associated Press Writer A fierce storm that dropped freezing rain and up to a foot of snow from the Rockies into the Great Plains stranded hundreds of homebound Thanksgiving travelers early today, closed more than 360 miles of highway and caused two deaths. Snow blown by winds gusting to 50 mph made driving a nightmare in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska. Gusts closed two of four runways at the Denver airport and dropped the wind-chill to as low as minus 15 degrees in eastern Colorado, western Kansas and western South Dakota. A Wyoming law requiring chains on motor vehicles went into effect today. The snow, wind and freezing drizzle closed 360 miles of Interstate 70 from east of Denver to Hays, Kan. Other highways in both states were shutdown. Officials in Colby, Kan., used the community center and National Guard armory to house about 500 stranded 1-70 motorists. About 130 miles to the east, churches in Limon, Colo., opened up to dozens of travelers who gave up on getting home before today. Some of those stranded in Colby were trying to run roadblocks on the interstate, said Ken Messamore, civil defense director for Thomas County. “But there’s a patrolman sitting out on the edge of town, and

there’s no use trying to beat him. At least everybody’s warm and inside. You might just as well grin and bear it.” At the Limon Bible Chapel, guests were sleeping on pews and floors. At the 113-room North Platte Super 8 Motel in western Nebraska, “We filled up at 7 p.m. ... and we’ve turned away about 25 people since then,” said desk clerk Julie Crooks. “This is really busy for this time of year.” Ms. Crooks said that as she drove a 10-mile stretch of the Interstate 80 to get to work, traffic moved at 15 to 20 mph. “There were 12 to 13 cars off the road, just in that stretch,” she said. A small private plane crashed in poor weather Sunday about miles south of Colby, killing one passenger and critically injuring the pilot, said Thomas County Undersheriff Scott Ekberg. The third man aboard was not injured. Ice covered roads in South Dakota, causing a traffic accident that killed a 19-year-old woman near Wasta, authorities said. In western Kansas, up to threequarters of an inch of ice downed power lines, causing some outages. At Denver’s Stapleton International Airport, where 115,000 passengers were expected Sunday, 15 to 30 mph winds forced officials to close two of the airport’s four runways, delaying flights by up to three hours. “For the size of the crowd we’re handling, things are going amazingly well,” said airport spokesman Richard Boulware. “We’re resigned to our fate,” Ellen Pearson of San Francisco, who was returning home from a weekend of skiing in Vail, said as she and a friend waited for their flight.

Who else knew about arms deal?

Advice to Reagan :Get facts out quickly

WASHINGTON (AP) From friend and foe alike, President Reagan is getting the same advice: Take the initiative and get all the facts out about the tangled dealings by members of his administration that sent arms to Iran and money to Contras. “He needs to get on top of it,” Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole of Kansas said on Sunday. “It’s not going to go away.” What steps Reagan takes could determine whether he comes out of this crisis able to govern effectively or whether the nation will watch another president struggling to survive a controversy he allowed to get out of control. Reagan was back at the White House after a Thanksgiving holiday at his California ranch. He returned vowing to “do whatever we have to to get to the bottom of this.” The Sunday interview shows on the television networks reflected the high degree of skepticism and concern among Republicans and Democrats about what has been disclosed so far. And while most members of Congress were reluctant to speculate on who might have known more than they now are admitting, two Republicans suggested that Vice President George Bush should have known. Appearing on the ABC-TV program, “This Week With David Brinkley,” Dole was openly skeptical of the administration account that said knowledge of the IranContra connection was limited to Reagan’s national security adviser, Vice Adm. John Poindexter, and an aide. Poindexter resigned his post and the aide, Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North was fired.

Lugar: Rebuild White House staff anew

WASHINGTON (AP) The storm over the secret sale of military arms to Iran and the funneling of profits to Contra rebels in Nicaraguan has caused such a credibility problem for President Reagan and his administration that he should rebuild his staff anew, Sen. Richard G. Lugar says. “I think he needs a new staff at the White House,” said Lugar, RInd. and outgoing chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “He may need new Cabinet members, and he clearly needs a new National Security Council. “In other words, it just seems to me at this point the president has to have a true new beginning,

Beer cans hoisted in honor of pontiff

c. 1986 N.Y. Times News Service PERTH, Australia Pope John Paul II has been acclaimed in many ways in many places. Sunday for the first time thousands of beer cans were hoisted high in his honor, though not in his presence. “Most of us believe that alcohol’s a gift from God,” said the Rev. Anthony Kain, who organized the unusual church-sponsored “love feast” at which gallons of beer were downed after a papal mass in Adelaide. “Of course, this sort of party is in the best Christian tradition,” said Kain, who insisted it was a throwback to the “agape” love feasts conducted by early Christians. The whole congregation at Mass, officially estimated at 183,000, was invited to the giant

State commission grants four vote recounts

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The State Recount Commission has formally granted petitions seeking recounts in Indiana’s 3rd District congressional race and in three Indiana House races. The commission is scheduled to meet again Tuesday to consider rules for vote counting. The law prevents petitions from being granted until 25 days after the election, said David F. Hamilton, who was named by Democratic State Chairman John Livengood to serve instead of Livengood on the panel. Thursday, or five days after the

a new administration. Literally every policy is in shambles,” Lugar said Sunday on the NBCTV news show “Meet the Press.” Reagan should save his presidency by firing every guilty party connected with the arms scandal, said Lugar, who added that he agreed with calls for a special independent prosecutor to look into legal irregularities connected with the arms sale. The president also should replace Donald T. Regan as chief of staff, Lugar said. Revamping th? administration would allow Reagan to appoint “first-class, big league” advisors to his staff, Lugar said. Lugar also suggested several

Kain and 1 is party produced a lively and even divisive controversy because the “pinnies” provided to the thirsty worshipers were not ordinary beer cans. In exchange for helping sponsor the picnic, the South Australia Brewing Co. emblazoned 100,000 cans of its West End Export Lager with the official symboi of John Paul’s Australian tour, thus creating the first ever papal beer and a much sought-after collector’s item. Justifying the deal, Kain argued there was a “historical link” because the first Roman Catholic Church in Adelaide was in a former

replacements for Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter, the Odon, Ind., native who resigned last week as national security adviser. The list included former U.N. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick; former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, R-Tenn.; former Nixon administration Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; former CIA Deputy Director Bobby Ray Inman; and former Carter administration national securty adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. “These are examples of bigleaguers who I believe know something about foreign policy, strategic policy and the sort of advice the president ought to get,” Lugar said.

A former vice president, Mondale said Reagan could find out “within hours exactly what happened.” References to Watergate already are freely used as officials try to find some perspective for the disclosures of the secret arms sales to Iran and the transfer of funds through a Swiss bank account to the rebel forces fighting to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua. Republicans are openly calling on the president to recruit a better crop of advisers. Democrats are moving swiftly to take control of the impending congressional investigations while stepping up calls for appointment of a special prosecutor. “I believe that everybody knew more than they are letting on,” said Sen. David Durenberger, R-Minn., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He was interviewed on the CBS program, “Face the Nation.” “George Bush has a deep concern for Nicaragua in the future, and George also should have some concern about the appropriate involvement of the Congress,” Durenberger said. “And I think he may have swallowed that concern when it would have served his president.” “I don’t know,” said Richard Lugar when asked if he thought Bush knew. “I presume he should have known,” the Republican senator from Indiana added on “Meet the Press.” Lugar is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A senior Justice Department official, speaking on condition he not be identified, said that “the weight of the arguments now favor moving to an independent counsel."

This left his critics unimpressed, particularly those concerned that the church appeared to be condoning consumption of alcohol when alcoholism is a major problem among Australia’s 160,000 aborigines. In a televised debate in September, the head of the Aboriginal Affairs Department, Charles Perkins, accused the church of taking “blood money” in the deal and asked Kain, “Why don’t you get sponsorship from the cocaine and heroin dealers in Australia?” The pope was unable to attend Kain’s barbeque because he had to fly here to Perth on the west coast, where he said Mass again and addressed a gathering of the aged on the last full day of his Australian visit.

The recount in Indiana House districts 3 and 5 will be consolidated with the 3rd District, since they fall in the same area, Hamilton said Saturday in a telephone interview following the meeting.
