Faulty control led
to four-plane crash
March winds destructive
Weather beats Northeast
United Press International
Rain, snow, tornadoes and
March winds roaring at more
than 100 mph snapped power
lines, endangered bridges and
demolished buildings in the
Northern Plains and the West. A
house collapsed on an Illinois
family, and a Wisconsin woman
and her son were blown out of
their home.
March appeared determined
Wednesday to leave the way it
came in — spawning; tornadoes
in Wisconsin and Illinois, fierce
thunderstorms in Minnesota
and Indiana and shattering win
dows and closing bridges in
wind-whipped northern Cali
fornia.
“I’ve lived in the East Bay for
more than 20 years and I’ve nev
er seen anything like this,” said
Bob Schinauer, production
manager at Svenhard’s Swedish
Bakery in Oakland, Calif.
More freak storms that
dumped up to 5 feet of snow in
the western mountains were in
the forecast.
A tornado ripped through
southern Illinois, damaging 20
homes and trailers, and at least
three twisters skipped across
central and southern Wisconsin
in the midst of powerful thun
derstorms that dumped hail and
torrential rains Tuesday.
Police in Ina, Ill., said Gene
Kidd, in his 30s; his wife Nancy,
30; son Bradley, 4, and daugh
ter Becky, 12, were injured
when their house collapsed on
them in a tornado. Mrs. Kidd
was in critical condition with
head injuries.
Marcia Polkowksi, 33, and
her son, Chad, 4, were sleeping
on the second floor of their
frame home in Armenia, Wis.,
“when they were blown out of
the building,” witness Roland
Huebner said. Both were in
stable condition.
“I saw parts of the house
flying through the air. Two un
occupied trailer homes nearby
were picked up and dropped ab
out 60 to 70 yards away,” Hueb
ner said.
Court orders
killer jailed
United Press International
. LOS ANGELES —Dr. Jeffrey
MacDonald, whose conviction
for murdering his wife and two
daughters was reinstated by the
Supreme Court, was arrested by
FBI agents Wednesday
morning.
FBI Special Agent John Hoos
said MacDonald had been
arrested at his home in Hunting-
ton Beach and was being trans
ported to the federal courthouse
in Los Angeles, where he was to
be turned over to U.S. marshals.
In a 6-3 decision, the Sup
reme Court Wednesday struck
down a ruling that had found
McDonald was denied his right
to a speedy trial because five
years had lapsed between the
time of his arrest by the Army in
1970 and his indictment by a
federal grand jury in 1975.
Hoos said he was not sure
whether MacDonald would
appear before a federal judge,
or immediately be transferred
back to the federal prison at
Terminal Island.
MacDonald, who has been
practicing medicine at St. Mary’s
Hospital in Long Beach since a
circuit court freed him last year
has steadfastly maintained his
innocence through the long
years of court battles.
The former Green Beret cap
tain claimed drug-crazed hip
pies burst into his Fayetteville,
N.C., home and stabbed his
family to death in the early
morning hours of Feb. 17,1970.
MacDonald sustained stab
wounds, including one that col
lapsed his right lung.
Quirks in the news
United Press International
STANFORD, Calif. — A com
puterized joke collection con
taining dirty, racist and sexist
humor has been removed from
Stanford’s computer system.
The collection of more than
13,000 jokes in categories rang
ing from “clean” to “sick” was
purged from the system after an
administrator complained about
them.
The jokes were used to help
train computer users how to op
erate the university’s computers.
“There were jokes in there to
offend just about everybody,”
admitted project manager John
Sack. “Hindsight makes us won
der why we didn’t clean it out a
long time ago.”
Other files in the system con
tain recipes and wine reviews
and they will be used to train
young computer experts, Sack
said, but he admitted the joke
file had been the most popular.
Three Northern Illinois Uni
versity students at DeKalb re
ceived minor cuts when strong
winds blew out a sixth floor win
dow at Grant Towers South resi
dence hall. A faculty member
also sustained minor cuts when a
window of her car was blown
out.
Winds gusting to 100 mph
shook southern Minnesota, top
pling small sheds and knocking
out electrical power, but no in
juries were reported.
Seventy mph winds whistled
across northwest Nebraska and
western South Dakota, spewing
rain and snow across the Dako
tas. The winds and heavy snow
snapped electric power poles
and lines in the western half of
South Dakota, causing wide
spread power outages.
The 600 residents of Faith,
S.D., were left in the dark when
a combination of winds and wet,
he&vy snow snapped nine poles
leading to the city’s power sub
station.
“I’ve asked all residents con
serve on water because we can’t
pump any more in,” Faith
Mayor Lavonne Butler said.
“We have a certain amount in
the tower, but if the tower
should go empty, we are out of
water.”
Spring storms swooped
through the north and central
sections of Indiana, dumping
almost an inch of rain and pro
ducing high winds that de
molished a barn and downed
utility lines near Lafayette and
Frankfort.
Cherry growers in the Sierra
foothills and California’s San
Joaquin Valley feared damage
from hail and cold rain, but said
it would be about a week before
an assessment could be made.

LANGLEY AIR FORCE
BASE, Va. — A jammed stabiliz
er in the tail of the lead aircraft
caused four Thunderbird pilots
to crash almost simultaneously
into the desert during a practice
session Jan. 18, the Air Force
said Wednesday.
Gen. Wilbur Creech, com
mander of the Tactical Air Com
mand at Langley Air Force Base,
told a news conference that the
Thunderbirds will continue to
fly, but will use newer F-16 fight
er jets instead of older, smaller
T-38 Talon training planes.
“The Thunderbirds are a
valuable asset to the Air Force
and Department of Defense,”
Creech said. “They more than
pay for their cost in recruiting
and retention, but it is time for a
change (in aircraft).”
In the January accident, a
small instrument in the rear of
the lead T-38 jammed and made
it impossible for the pilot, Maj.
Norman Lowry III, 37, of Rad
ford, Va., to pull out of the loop
at the proper time, Creech said.
The three pilots, trained to
mirror their leader, followed
Lowry into a fiery crash in the
desert 40 miles north of Las
Vegas.
“Their job is to fly in close
formation and keep their atten
tion fixed on the leader,” Creech
said. “They were looking over
their shoulders at him as they
were coming out of the loop.”
The Thunderbirds, an air de
monstration team formed in
1953, are considered among the
elite of pilots of high-speed,
high-performance aircraft. The
Navy also has a similar team, the
Blue Angels.
Creech said the cause of the
accident was determined after a
two-month Air Force investiga-
Oil, nuclear reforms

The stabilizer jammed, but
Lowry received signals in the
cockpit that told him the stabiliz
er was functioning properly,.
Creech said Lowry kept both
hands on the control stick to get
the malfunction to correct itself

culty.
