United Press International DENVER — Former astro naut James Irwin has initiated a third expedition aimed at finding Noah’s Ark on a mountain in Turkey, near the Russian border. A team of six men, some of whom had been on two unsuc cessful expeditions in August and September, flew to the eastern Mediterranean Tues day to search for the biblical ship. Irwin said a new member of the expedition had climbed part of the way up 16,946-foot Mount Ararat in August and saw an unusual, large object. The latest attempt, led by Robbie Gowdey of Dallas, will try to get permission to use a helicopter to search, but prob ably will be grounded by the Turkish government because of concerns about a possible incident along the Turkish- Soviet border, just 15 miles away. Irwin, who was injured in August during his first ex pedition up the massive mountain, said the sighting was made by Dennis Burchett, an American who has been liv ing in Turkey. Burchett climbed Ararat before Irwin’s first attempt. “It wasn’t until I got back from Turkey from the first expedition that 1 found out about his report,” said Irwin, who walked on the moon as an Apollo 15 astronaut in 1971. i. “From what he said it looks very suspicious. Its color is black — much darker than the surrounding rock. He was only able to get 2‘A miles from it, but it was large enough to see from a distance.” Burchett’s report indicated an object of the dimensions and shape of Noah’s ark, de scribed in the Bible as 450-feet long and rectangular. Bur chett said the object was be tween 12,000 and 13,000 feet elevation and east of the base camp of Irwin’s first expedi tion on the north face of the mountain. “We didn’t see it (Burchett’s object) because it is east of Lahora Gorge,” Irwin said. “We didn’t look there because I thought the whole gorge had been explored completely in the past.” Irwin, who couldn’t make the third attempt because of other commitments, said, “Lahora Gorge is a gigantic canyon. It isjust awesome and rugged. It’s filled with glaciers and rocks.” Irwin said he would not be disappointed if the latest attempt found the ark. “I will be delighted if they find it,” he said. “Then it will be available for me or anyone else to visit.” Irwin is a Baptist fun damentalist whose High Flight Foundation sponsored the three expeditions. He was in Turkey last week trying to get permission to use a heli copter. The Turkish govern ment rejected his request. Besides Burchett and Gow dey, members of the third ex pedition are: Doug Dean of Las Vegas, Nev.; Ray Ander son, of Shelbyville, Tenn.; Bob Stuplich, of Gunnison, Colo., and Marvin Steffans, of Monroe, La.

United Press International DALLAS — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, scheduled to visit Los Angeles in November, as tentatively agreed to stop over in Dallas to address aGhristian rally and in turn rally support for his country, spon sors of the event said. Evangelist Jerry Falwell of Lynchburg, Va., who claimed he is a supporter of Israel, said he had agreed to co-sponsor the event. He said he had been con tacted about the sponsorship several weeks ago by Dr. Jimmy Draper, pastor of the First Bap tist Church of Euless, a Dallas suburb. “My support of Israel is well- known, and my answer was yes,” Falwell said. Draper is president of the Southern Baptist Convention, but the organization was not a co-sponsor of the event. Mark Briskman, director of the Dallas chapter of the Anti defamation League, is helping coordinate the Begin visit. He said the first request that Begin visit Dallas was made weeks be fore the war in Lebanon. “The arrangements (about the Begin visit) are tentative, based on the days and weeks ahead,” Briskman said Wednes day. “There was a growing frus tration among some grass-roots people for a reaffirmation of Israel and its people.” The scheduled visit to Los Angeles is set for the second week of November. rjf t££ j£i' ZEPHYR CLUB featuring Burger, Nuchas, & Munchies Friday Happy Hour 4-9 p.m. Wuods tone - Hwy. 30 Martin and Reaves re sponded to the lawsuit but Peat - son did not, so thejudgment was entered against him, Peeples said. The suit is still pending against Martin and Reaves. Attorney Kevin S. Wiley of Dallas, who worked with St. Paul Square in 1981, said the players had paid back half the loan then arranged with another business partner to pay the rest. But the partner backed out, he said. “Drew and Harvey became in nocent victims in the process,” he said. Because of the split partner ship, Pearson believed he was not responsible for paying the rest of the loan to Frost Bank, Wiley said. • 'T , . V''’.. v . ■■■[■A- ■ ! '. , v <•., v'. .
