Debate on coal slurry lines,
water rights splits Senate
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Oppo

said Tuesday that granting
pipelines the right of federal
eminent domain would only
aid throni cause further rancor and lead
to law suits among the 10
states that constitute the Mis
souri River basin.
The Senate Energy Com-
form mittee has been badly split
over concerns about what im
pact the coal slurry pipelines,
which would move a mixture
of crushed coal and water
from Western mines to con
sumers in the South, would
have on water supplies in the
West.
had proposed amendments to
protect state water rights, “I
am not convinced that they do
the job.”
The critics said they were
unconvinced that amend
ments by Sen. Malcolm Wal
lop, R-Wyo., would adequate
ly protect state water rights.
Sen. Edward Zorinsky, D-
Neb., said development of
coal slurry pipelines must not
be at the expense of agricul
ture “and its need for what is
already a diminishing supply
of water.”

Western senators have been

allay some of those fears.

Boeing 727 jet was five miles
from Fortaleza when it lost con
tact with the control tower over
the Serra da Pacatuba moun
tains.
“The place is inaccessible,”
said Fire Chief Rodrigues De
Oliveira. We have 35 men stand
ing by in the nearest village but
they can’t get to the scene.”
The plane hit a 2,500-foot
peak, he said.
The domestic flight origin
ated in Sao Paulo and made a
stop in Rio De Janeiro before
continuing northward. It car
ried 126 passengers and nine
crew members.
While there was no immedi
ate information as to the nation
ality of the 126 passengers, a
first report said many were Bra
zilian businessmen returning
from a textile fair in Sao Paulo.
A VASP employe in Fortaleza
said that the weather was “awful,
just raining all the time” at the
time of the crash.
Radio reports said search and
rescue teams from the Brazilian
Air Force were flying over the
mountainside under a low cloud
ceiling but there was no immedi
ate word that wreckage had
been sighted.
A previous crash occured
when a VASP 737 broke in two
on landing at Brasilia on May 24,
killing two people.
Fortaleza, capital of the state
of Ceara, is more than 1,300
miles northeast of Rio De
Janeiro in Brazil’s impoverished
northeastern region.
Police raid
Moonies
in France
United Press International
PARIS — Police Tuesday car
ried out a nationwide raid on
offices and buildings housing
members of the Unification
Church of the Rev. Sun Myung
Moon and took 45 people into
custody for questioning.
It was the first major police
intervention in the activities of
the Moon sect members.
The operation was ordered
by Judge Jean Bruel of Besan-
con in eastern France. The
judge is investigating a controv
ersial case in which a French
family has charged that its
daughter Claire Chateau, 21,
has been induced into member
ship of the sect against her will, a
charge the sect and Chateau
have denied.
A large number of police
took part in the raids on 13
buildings owned by the Moon
church in the Paris area and
eight centers of the sect located
in Lyon, Lille, Orleans, Rouen,
Strasbourg and Rennes.
Police said 30 persons were
taken in for questioning in Paris
and 15 in provincial towns.
Police, which included members
of the criminal and economic
branches, also have seized a
large number of documents in
cluding lists of members and
accounting papers, police offi
cials said.
Pierre Ceyrac, the Unification
Church’s representative for
France, said: “I wish to sharply
protest against this behavior. We
are no longer at the time of In
quisition.”
The sect’s activities in France
came into the limelight last
March 3 when Chateau’s pa
rents, helped by five friends,
abducted their daughter with
the help of several friends while
she was in Besancon distributing
the sect’s leaflets in the streets.
Claire’s parents and five other
participants in the abduction
who took Claire to an isolated
farm failed in their effort at “de-
S ramming” her. They even-
y were charged with illegal
ly holding the young French
woman, while Claire returned to
the sect asserting that she had
joined it of her free will and that
she found “the things I have
sought” among fellow-
members.
In France, Moonies house
400 full-time members. It also
has an estimated 2,000 associate
members.
