FAA grounds 20 DC-10s
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The government says fewer than 20 of the
nation’s 138 DC-lOs may be involved in the latest grounding of the
wide-bodied jets for possible defects similar to those uncovered last
week.
Only the DC-10s that have had their engine pylons removed and
reinstalled after completion of last week’s inspection are affected by
the Federal Aviation Administration’s order Monday. The problems
are associated with improper reinstallation of the engine pylon as
sembly.
The new order came in response to a recommendation by the
National Transportation Safety Board that airlines inspect all DClOs
to make sure their engines were not damaged by improper mainte
nance procedures during the investigation.
The board issued a “Class I Urgent Action” recommendation
Monday to the FAA, warning that the DC-lOs may have suffered
damage if the engines were removed improperly during two
“modifications” recommended by the manufacturer, McDonnell
Douglas.
The FAA said fewer than 20 of the DC-10s should be affected by its
order.
The safety board’s recommendation followed the discovery of
cracks on the engine mountings of two American Airlines DC-10s
during FAA-ordered inspections in the wake of the fatal Chicago
crash that killed 274 people on May 25.
The board said the American Airline jets had cracks in an engine
mounting component — the rear bulkhead — the same area where a
10-inch crack was found in the American Airlines DC-10 that
crashed.
The board said the plane that crashed had undergone removal of its
engine mounting for maintenance just two months before the acci
dent, and the crack had existed prior to the tragedy.
It said the latest cracks found in two American Airlines planes
probably were a result of improper maintenance procedures.

Parcel post explosions
Group sends bombs to Nazis
United Press International
NEW YORK — Two anti-Nazi
groups, saying “the only rights
Nazis have is for burial,” have
claimed responsibility for a series of
deadly parcel bombs mailed to
neo-Nazi leaders across the nation
and warned of more to come.
Five bombs have surfaced, in
cluding ones sent to a former SS of
ficer in Paterson, N.J.; to Nazi
groups in Chicago, Cicero, Ill., and
Arlington, Va., as well as Gerhard
Lauck, a member of the German
and American Nazi parties.
No one was injured, although the
devices, sent in cigar-box shaped
packages, were powerful enough to
kill those opening them, police said.
The International Committee
Against Nazism and the Jewish Ac
tion Movement both claimed re
sponsibility for the bombs, the sec
ond group saying that “the only
rights Nazis have is for burial.”
The first two bombs were re
ceived Friday, by former SS officer
Tscherim Soobzokov of Paterson
and a branch of the National
Socialist White People’s Party in
Cicero.
Soobzokov, who was cleared of
war crimes allegations by a Manhat
tan grand jury, said, T have no af
filiation with any group or society
that was antihumanitarian. I knew I
was clean. I was not expecting this.”
Two members of the Nazi group
in Cicero became suspicious when
they picked up a cigar-sized box at
the post office. They called police
after opening one end.
Police said the box contained a jar
filled with black powder surrounded
by ball bearings and nails, apparent
projectiles to be blasted toward the
person who opened the box. They
said the bomb was “made to kill.”
The third bomb was delivered
Saturday to Chicago headquarters of
the National Socialist Party of
America, but there was no one to
accept delivery. It was disarmed
Monday by authorities alerted by
the other bombs.
The fourth bomb, mailed to
Lauck in Lincoln, Neb., was dis
armed Sunday. The 26-year-old man
is head of the overseas branch of the
German Nazi Party and has been ac
tive in the American Nazi Party,
primarily as a publisher.
The fifth bomb, addressed to the
Arlington, Va., leader of the Na
tional Socialist White People’s
Party, was discovered Monday af
ternoon by postal authorities.
In calls to the Associated Press
Saturday and Monday, callers rep
resenting the International Com
mittee Against Nazism claimed re
sponsibility for all five bombings
and said more were on the way.
In two calls to United Press
International Monday, male callers
claimed responsibility for the Lauck
bomb and said others were sent to
Chicago, El Monte, Calif., and
Englewood, N.J. No bombs had
been found in the last two cities.
Arthur Jones, a spokesman for the
National Socialist White People’s
Party, said three of the bombs bore
Soobzokov’s return address. Soob
zokov said he knew nothing about it.
Shuttle launch delayed;
date to be set later
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The first
launch of the space shuttle Colum
bia has been delayed again — from
November to sometime next year.
Dr. Robert Frosch, administrator
of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, said at a Se
nate subcommittee hearing Monday
a new date for the shuttle’s initial
orbital test flight should be set late
this month.
In his last report to the subcom
mittee a month ago, Frosch said the
shuttle was still scheduled for
launch in November although
another delay was probable.
“It is clear that the schedule has
slipped into 1980, he said.” The
original flight date was last March.
In other testimony. Dr. William
Perry, undersecretary of defense,
told the committee that the Air
Force has delayed by six months the
time when Vandenberg Air Force
Base, Calif., will be ready to launch
a shuttle. The new operational date
is December 1983.
