The FAA security office, how
ever, also was investigating the
crash for possible violations of fed
eral regulations, including misiden-
tifications. One of the possibilities
being investigated was that the
plane was stolen. Baker said.
Baker said there were two possi
ble reasons why the plane carried a
wrong registration number on the
wing: because the Minneapolis
plane had been deactivated and the
number was given to the Cessna 210
without it being properly recorded,
or because someone deliberately
wanted to place the wrong number
on the craft.
New solar
heater may
help farmers
United Press International
WASHINGTON — American
farmers soon will be able to buy
low-cost, easy-to-assemble solar
units to dry grain or to heat their
homes and farm buildings.
The Agriculture Department
financed the development of a
heater which could be con
structed from basic materials,
manufactured by small firms and
installed by farmers and
homeowners themselves.
“If they can do it, almost any
one can do it,” quipped assistant
secretary Alex Mercure.
Secretary Bob Bergland pre
dicted the units, which are ex
pected to cost $2,500, would be
come “a permanent part of our
total rural scene.”
The Agriculture Department
holds the patent. Officials expect
to license small firms to manufac
ture the units by January. Plans
also will be available for people
who want to build their own un
its.
Each unit includes 300 square
feet of solar collectors divided
among three sections. Stationary
glass panels, like glass sliding
doors, are placed on top of long,
narrow black panels of sheet
steel coated with an aluminum-
zinc alloy.
Farmers and rural homeow
ners will be able to borrow funds
from Agriculture Department
agencies to finance purchase of
the heaters. If final tests are suc
cessful, the Farmers Home Ad
ministration will offer solar heat
ers as an option on homes fi
nanced by the agency.
Mercure said the nation could
save 2 million barrels of oil a year
if the heaters were used for
100,000 homes. He said the hea
ter could reduce utility costs for a
homeowner by 50 percent.

operation Monday at the UK Albert
B Chandler Medical Center on
[Sammy Burchell, son of Dolores
and Samuel Burchell of Liberty, Ky.
I The mass was too ingrained to be
removed, but a biopsy was per
formed to determine if the tumor is
^malignant or benign,” said Pattie
McLellan, a spokeswoman at the
center.
■ She said the results will not be
available for several days.
1 '' What is so unusual about this
operation is that it’s the first time at
