74th Year No. 102 Good Morning! It's Thursday, January 21, 1982 2 Sections 16 Pages - 25 Cents Tense moments Missouri's No. 2 rated team gets a few words of advice from Coach Norm Stewart during the closing minutes of Wednes-day's 41- 3- 5 victory over University of Kansas. The Tigers rais'ed Stomtffrfn their season record to 15-- 0 The team needs just two more vic-tories to equal the record 17-- 0 start of the 1920 21 season See story and pictures, Page 1B Works Why some simply stop looking By Ivers Petersen New York limes WYANDOTTE, Mich. - After awhile, Randy Reagan said, there hardly seems to be any point in looking for a new job " I've been to every down- nve- r piz-za parlor and fast- foo- d place there is," be said. " Nothing! I mean, after you've stooped your pnde down to where you're willing to put on a stu-pid Taco Bell hat and wash1 floors, Insight and then even they don't want you, you don't feel much like trying." So Reagan toes to put the memory of the job he lost last summer behind him, and concentrates on taking care of his children and working on his house in this industrial suburb down river from Detroit He has joined a growing army of people across the country who have given up looking for work. In the last quarter of 1981, Reagan and 1.2 million other Americans were classified by the Bureau of La-bor Statistics as " discouraged work-ers" those who had not looked for work in the last four weeks. The 1.2 million figure is 10 percent higher than that in the same period of 1980. Generally, those who drop out of the labor force for a while are wom-en and members of minority groups, especially younger members. But there is evidence that three years of severe recession and unemployment in the industrial Middle West has be-gun to push more and more middle- clas- s workers, like Reagan, into the discouraged category. , For example, the total labor force of Michigan and Ohio, including both employed workers and the unem-ployed looking for work, has de-clined in recent months. The Michi-gan force has declined for the last three months ma row. What has become of the 87,000 men and women who disappeared from Michigan's labor force since October is, accordingly, anyone's guess, as are their strategies for staying alive. Some have undoubtedly supped into the underground economy, where business is cash- onl- y " and the only one who's keeping the books on you is you," as George, one of its practitioner, described it George, who did not want bis last name used, said that be worked three years at Ford's Woodhaven stamping plant until be was laid off in June 1S80. In his late 20s, with a wife working and no children to sup-port, George dedded to leave the au- tomob- fle industry for good. ' " I tried carpet cleaning, but no-body had the money for that,' he said. " Then I tried real estate, and that'sworse than cleaning carpets. " So now aU I do is this," be said, ( See MORE, Page ftA) Divers recover Air Florida ' black boxes9 WASHINGTON ( UPI) - A Navy diver recovered the two " black boxes" from the wreckage of the Air Florida jet on the bottom of Potomac River Wednesday and investigators started listening to these recording devices for clues into what caused the crash that killed 78 people. Salvage teams also pulled 11 bod-ies from the icy waters, leaving sev-en still to be recovered one week af-ter the twin- engin- e Boeing 737 crashed after takeoff from National Airport during a heavy snowstorm. Investigators said the " black boxes" containing vital flight infor-mation were in " excellent condi-tion," but refused to discuss the con-tents Lt. Cmdr. Stephen Delaplane, commander of the Navy diving and salvage team, said about 75 percent of the aircraft has been recovered He estimated it would take another week to finish the job, but said " we are essentially over the hump at this point" In another development, National Transportation Safety Board mem-ber Francis McAdams, who is over-seeing the investigation, said three more witnesses have reported they saw the doomed jetliner lift off the 6,869- fo- ot ( 2060.7- mete- r) runway less than 1,700 ( 510 meters) feet from its end an abnormally lone run in those conditions. Earlier, McAdams said normal takeoff would be closer to 3,300 feet ( 1170 meters). McAdams also told reporters Wednesday night that investigators have verified that the National con-trol tower sounded the crash alarm at 4 04 pjn Jan 13, less than six minutes after the plane was cleared for takeoff. Police said among the 11 bodies re-covered Wednesday were those of co- pil- ot Roger Pettat, 31, of Miami and month- ol- d Brian Piontek of Tampa, Fla , whose mother Barbara also died. Wilson said efforts to recover the other bodies would continue Thurs-day ' We expect we are looking for seven more individuals," he said. Police Inspector James Shugart said the cold water preserved the bodies so that they are " not much different now than when they crashed," but he said recovering them is difficult because " it is such a tangled mess It's like trying to pick up spaghetti with a fork." McAdams told reporters he has hs-- tened to the cockpit voice recorder tape, which records one- hal- f hour's worth of voices and other noises in the cockpit Both the cockpit voice recorder tape and the flight deck recorder tape " appear to be in excellent con-dition and we are very hopeful we will get a good readout," McAdams said. He refused to disclose what was on the cockpit voice recorder, saving release of the information now would cause premature speculation about the cause of the crash and " would al-most be a disservice to the public," be said. The recovery of the recorders in good working condition brought a sigh of relief from the 100 partici-pants in the investigation McAdams said investigators have " every ex-- pectation they will yield valuable in-formation " The flight data recorder will en-able investigators to determine the jet's speed on takeoff and in its brief flight, its heading, whether it made any turns, the degree of those turns and information on its altitude The cockpit voice recorder will help investigators determine " who was flying the aircraft at takeoff and who was handling communications, getting gear up, cleaning the aircraft up," McAdams said McAdams said the information from both tapes will be plotted and fed into a computer programmed to coordinate the tuning This, he said, will be " woven with an-- traffic con-trol tape to provide a chronological picture of what happened to the Air Florida flight" Offensive view costs neighbor $ 12,500 By Terrell Dempsey Missourian stall writer Perennial city critic Paul Albert was himself, taken to task Wednes-day by a Circuit Court jury which de-livered a $ 12,500 against turn in a civ-il suit. The jury awarded $ 4,000 in actual damages and $ 8,500 in punitive dam-ages to Stanley and Joyce Nes3 of RR 4 in a suit arising over a partial-ly burned trailer and other objects left on Albert's RR 4 property about seven miles ( 11 2 kilometers) south of Columbia. Albert resides at 2703 Parker Place and keeps the RR 4 property as a country retreat. The Nesses maintained mat the objects, which include a rusty oil stove, old sinks and pieces of broken concrete create an offensive view from their house and reduces the value of thar property. The suit by the Nesses, who have been trying to sell their house, was filed in Septem-ber 1980. The jury deliberated three and a half hours before delivering its ver-dict to Circuit Judge John Cave. " This whole thing stinks back-wards and forwards," says Albert " Inaturallyintend to fight " Albert, who is well known for his daily phone calls to a Columbia ra-dio station and his attendance at government -- meetings, admits to having the items on his property, but says they have not hampered the Ness' efforts to sell their house. Two fires burned and destroyed the original house on his property, Albert explained, and he bought a partially burned trailer to use for his country visits. " Our system is still the best in the Paul Albert Intends to hght decision country," he said when asked why the jury decided agamst bun. " There was a lot of perjury going on. This thing isn't over yet There's still the appeal process." Fee increase criticized By Bryan Bumngh Missourian staff writer t A plan to raise fees for overly stu-dious students at the University has drawn sharp criticism from Donald Duncan, director of the School of Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife. A her Tuesday morning press con-ference, Chancellor Barbara Uehling said she is considering an " over-load" charge for students wishing to ' take more than 16 hours in one se-mester. The idea was first raised by ' Provost Ron Burni in October. But Duncan says such a proposal would be unfair to the students of his ." school. Forestry majors, who need 135 hours to graduate, must average more than 16 hours per semester to finish school in four years. " I'm opposed to the whole busi ness," Duncan said Wednesday. " To tell a student that because his curric-ulum takes more hours than other colleges he must pay more is unrea-sonable. You should not be charged extra because of that" More than half of the school's 475 undergraduates regularly graduate within fouryears, Duncan said. " We're left with two options," he contained. " Pay more or cut the cur-riculum to-- fit financial needs over quality of the curriculum. Neither of those is acceptable." -- Duncan registered his protest in an Oct 19 letter to Bonn. " Our students have financial prob-lems m very substantial numbers al-ready," Duncan complained in that letter. " It seem? to us unreasonable ' to place them in the position of hav-ing to. pay more for their education than do must vL. . uui& iau- uates- ." If the overload charge is approved, Duncan said his school will be forced to either require more than four years for an undergraduate degree or revise curriculum to avoid the ex-tra charge. Bunn's reply was encouraging, Duncan said. " Any decision on this question has been deferred for awhile by the Uni-versity, although it may reappear within the next few months," the provost said in a letter of reply last fan. It reappeared Tuesday. Jane Dier- Russe- ll, Dr. Uehlmg's executive staff assistant, called crit- iasmoftheproposalprem-ature. " We are locking at all kinds of op-tions," Mrs. Dier- Rosse- D said. " No policy has been set at all." Defense urges Reagan to buy C-- 5 transports New York Times WASHINGTON - The Defense Department has recommended to President Reagan that 50 Lockheed C-- 5 Galaxy cargo aircraft, once a symbol of Pentagon cost overruns, be bought to start a multibilhon- dol- Ia- r program of acquiring aerial transport for the Rapid Deployment Force, congressional officials said Wednesday. At the same tune, the Air Force signed contracts with Rockwell In-ternational worth $ 2.2 billion to be-gin building a fleet of the new B-- l long- rang- e bombers, of which 100 were scheduled to be completed by 1989. The Galaxy recommendation, long awaited after a heated competition and much political infighting, drew an unusually testy comment from the loser, McDonnell Douglas, which said it was " dismayed" by a deci-sion that made a " mockery" of the competitive process Although the Pentagon has made no official announcement, staff members of the Georgia and Missou-ri congressional delegations dis-closed details of the recommenda-tion Wednesday The Lockheed plane would be produced in Georgia, McDonnell Douglas's headquarters ism St Louis, Mo. The congressional officials said they considered the recommenda-tion tantamount to a decision since Reagan, who apparently intends to mclude the program in the 1983 mili-tary budget that goes to Congress next month, has gone along with the vast majority of recommendations from Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger The Lockheed order, the congres-sional officials said, calls for con-tracts worth $ 4 58 billion, with the first plane to roll off the assembly line in 1985 and the production run to be completed by 1989 If Reagan approves the recom-mendation, as expected, that would mean reviving the production of a highly controversial aircraft The Lockheed C-- 5 cost about $ 2 billion more than planned to build, plus $ 1 4 billion to replace wings too weak to sustain long hours of flying For the taxpayers, those contracts would be the first installments in two long- rang- e, expensive programs Pentagon officials have estimated that the total cost of the C- 5- s over the life of the program would be $ 25 bil-lion, while some congressional offi-cials said their estimates run up to $ 40 billion The cost of the Beet of B- - l bombers has been set at $ 20.5 billion, with some congressional estimates running up to $ 30 billion Neither fig-ure included inflation factors or op-erating costs The transport planes are intended to carry tanks, helicopters, other ve-hicles, ammunition and supplies for the Rapid Deployment Force if it is ( See LOCKHEED, Page 8A I Draft sign- u- p period extended five weeks WASHINGTON ( UPI) About 800,( 300 young men who faded to reg-ister on time for the draft are getting a new deadline of Feb. 28 to sign up and avoid possible prosecution. " With the removal of any linger-ing doubts as to the future of the reg-istration program, I am confident that the young men of registration age will comply with the law," Se-lective Service Director Thomas Turnage said Wednesday in an-nouncing the grace period. President Reagan announced Jan. 7 he had de-cided to continue the registration started by Jimmy Carter in the in-terests of national defense But Rea-gan said the action did not signal a return to the draft As of last Sept 30, 6 6 million young men had regis-tered when they reached 18, but 800,- 00- 0 had not Draft resistance groups, however, predicted the administration's latest move would not attract many who have not yet complied. Shawn Perry, associate director of the National uterrehgtous Service Board for Conscientious Objectors, said be does net beheve the adminis-tration's announcement will attract those who have problem. Perry said he believes only actual prosecutions would encourage great-er compliance with the law, but also could encourage " very visible resis- - 800,000 men violated law tance if they" proceed with indic-tments" The Justice Department has re-ceived 150 names of men who have not registered, but held up prosecu-tions until the administration decid-ed whether to continue draft regis-tration A department spokesman said prosecutions would be delayed until the end of the grace period. Failure to register is a felony pun-ishable by up to five years in jail and a $ 10,000 fine It is also against the law to fad to notify the Selective Service of a change of address And Turnage said he was confi-dent the majority of those young men required to register will do so when they become aware of he re-quirement He blamed unawareness of young men for the failure of the 800,000 to register on tune. Selective Service now plans to mail 12 million postcards to high school students, and kick off public service announcements to make sure young men know they are re-quired to register.
