A UNIVERSAL PICTURE fpol TECHNICOLOR* PANAVISION* IfJlfJ THE BAHALiON Tuesday, January 23, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3 108 Feared Dead In Air Crash KANO, Nigeria (A*)—A charter ed jetliner carrying 202 Moslems home from a pilgrimage to Mecca crashed and burned on the runway of Kano’s airport Monday while coming in for a landing in a fog. Officials said they fear 180 per sons perished. They reported 30 survived, all of them severely burned. The plane had a crew of eight. This would make the crash the world’s deadliest air disaster in volving a single aircraft. One hundred seventy-six persons died in the crash of a Soviet Aeroflot jet near Moscow last Oct. 13. The crash here was the 11th in little over a year in which 100 or more persons were killed in various parts of the world. The one previous to this was the crash of an Eastern Air Lines jet in the Florida Everglades on Dec. 30, which cost 101 lives. The Boeing 707 of the Royal Jordanian Airlines burst into flames as it touched down at Kano’s tiny airport, witnesses said. The pilot was identified by a Royal Jordanian spokesman in Amman as Capt. John Water man, an American whose wife and children live in Beirut, Leba non. The spokesman said the air line had been informed that he and the seven other crew mem bers were among the survivors. The four-engine plane had flown about 2,100 miles from Jid da, near Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. Mecca is the Moslems’ holiest place. Kano airport officials said visi bility was about 1,500 feet when the Jordanian plane crashed around 10 a.m. Officials said the aircraft had been scheduled to fly to Lagos, Nigeria’s capital about 730 miles to the southwest, but was diverted to Kano because of foul weather. Thousands of Nigerians flocked to the airport and many wailed and shouted with grief for the dead, most of whom were believ ed to be Nigerians. The pilot’s wife told a news man in Beirut, she had heard from aviation sources that the runway collapsed at the point at which the aircraft touched down. She said her husband, a World War II Air Force veteran, had ibeen flying for 20 years in the Middle East and had logged 20,- 000 hours’ flying time. Waterman was bora in Fresno, Calif., but had not maintained a U.S. residence for many years, his wife said.

DETROIT <A»)—General Motors recalled 3.7 million 1971 and 1972 cars Monday to correct possible steering lockups which the com pany said are believed responsi ble for at least 12 injuries. The automaker said it had re ports of 96 incidents in which fly ing stones allegedly lodged be tween the coupling and car frame, causing steei-ing interference. Twenty-three accidents, involving 12 injuries, were reported. GM said the cars being recalled were full-size 1971 and 1972 models of Chevrolets, Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. They will be fitted with a shield over the steering coupling, the company explained, to prevent the possibility of stones or gravel lodging between' the coupling and the car frame. Although the list price on the shield is only 85 cents, the recall could cost the auto giant more than $12 million. The postage bill alone will be an estimated $1.6 million, and a spokesman said labor costs would be about $3 per car. Notices to owners will start going out in about two weeks, GM said, and the shields will be installed free of charge. CASA CHAPULTEPEC OPEN U A. M. TO 2 P. M. — 5 P. M. TO 9:30 P.
