Pilot OK in Colombia
United Press International
HOUSTON — A fireman who
also pilots private planes was
hospitalized Tuesday in Colom
bia, where he said he and a
friend crash-landed on a beach
and were attacked by bandits.
William A. Spradley, 45, said
in a telephone interview from a
hospital in Riohacha that he was
flying a twin-engine plane from
Miami to Venezuela April 29 for
an oil company when the plane
developed engine trouble.
Spradley said a friend, Roy
McLamore, 45, accompanied
him on the trip to pick up oil
drilling bits for remanufacture in
the United States.
“The right engine started act
ing up,” Spradley said. “I had to
land. I ended up landing on the
beach. It was a normal
emergency landing (with wheels
down).
“A bunch of people showed
up. They started jerking stuff off
me. They took my suitcase. The
next thing I know — bam — they
shot me,” Spradley said. “More
people came up. They carried
me to a small hospital.
“That’s the last I saw of Roy,
when they were loading me in
the pickup,” Spradley said.
“I’m doing fine, walking
around the hospital. I just have a
.38-caliber slug in my back that
I’ll have to have out in Houston, ”
Spradley said. “If I could get re
leased down here, you’d never
know anything happened to me.”
McLamore’s whereabouts
were unknown.
Spradley said there were prob
lems with payment of fines and a
lawyer’s fee complicating his re
turn to the United States.
“I understand I was accused of
violating Colombian airspace and
of landing without a permit,”
Spradley said. “I only came over
Colombia because of the
emergency.”

WASHINGTON — The long-simmering debate over nuclear
power is now a fullfledged presidential issue.
President Carter said Monday he supports its continued use. Rep.
Morris Udall, D-Ariz., who ran second to Carter in the 1976 Demo
cratic primaries, cast doubt on its future. The leader of Sunday’s
anti-nuclear demonstration in Washington warned it will be the issue
of the 1980s. And Sen, Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., called for a
moratorium on issuing licenses for new nuclear power plants.
Carter’s stance, reiterated in a White House meeting with leaders
of the protest that drew 65,000 people to the Capitol steps the day
before, put him squarely at odds with California Gov. Edmund G.
Rrown Jr., whose use of the issue moved one liberal congressman,
also unsympathetic to nuclear power, to refer to him privately as “a
creep.”
Ralph Nader, whom Carter three years ago publicly hoped to
supplant as the nation’s No. 1 consumer advocate, charged in House
testimony Monday federal officials were guilty of “monumental ne
glect” of nuclear emergency plans.
And a General Accounting Office report said the public is being
endangered by lax enforcement of safety standards in the transporta
tion by truck and rail of nuclear materials.
Monday, Udall talked about the future of nuclear power.
“At any time of any day there will be trucks and trains moving
around the country with fuel rods, spent fuel, nuclear materials of
different kinds,” he forecast. “And more and more the public is con
cerned about this. ” If cities and states follow New York City’s lead
and ban such shipments, he said, “you get to a point where nobody
will take the nuclear waste. You can’t get your fuel rods from where
they’re made to where they’re going to be used. So I think the future
of nuclear (power) is in doubt. ”

United Press International
DETROIT — The judge in Be
nson Ford Jr.’s $7.5 million inheri
tance fight Tuesday refused to step
down, saying he had “no preju
dice” against young Ford and does
not favor his uncle, Ford Motor Co.
Chairman Henry Ford II.
“I assert most affirmatively, I
have no prejudice - i - none what
ever,’ Wayne County Probate
Judge Ira Kaufman said in denying
the motion.
Harvey Fierstein, Benson Jr.’s
Los Angeles attorney, filed a motion
Monday seeking Kaufman’s disqual
ification, charging the judge had
made prejudiced remarks against
his client and in favor of the com
pany chairman.
Benson Jr., a 29-year-old Califor
nia bachelor, is seeking control over
some 100,000 shares of family stock
which was placed in a trust con
trolled by other family members,
including Henry Ford II.
Benson Jr. bad contended that
the judge, in a private March con
ference with attorneys in the case,
made reference to young Ford’s ar
rest earlier this year on drug charges
and said he was in need of “rehabili
tation. ”
Kaufman was expected to rule
later in the day on the disqualifica
tion motion. But he declared to the
court, “I am impartial, kp
