Councilman Turner recom mended that the issue be redire cted to a committee appointed to look into that problem but was opposed on the grounds that the committee had been in existence for four months. Members of the committee present at the meeting asked the mayor to be relieved of their duties. The council approved the re solution. The council also adopted a resolution appointing a relief judge in the absence of the regu lar municipal judge. The resolution authorizes the relief judge to exercise all of the powers and duties of the regular municipal judge and also pro vides compensation for relief duties. crew: Joblessness due to aiding authorities the curtain fir. )rmance was: ary ofBaryshti ive on for soikI, H United Press International LOS ANGELES — Film crew C lembers on the “Twilight I I one” movie set say they may v ave been blacklisted for help- ig authorities in an investiga- two doztn p-on of three deaths that resulted ested at Gnrfcriminal indictments against e in Rome.N > reclor John Landis and pen house iS' s - v threw wban 0 ne of the key figures in the d at the w'ingc:legation into a July 1982 elicopter accident, camera tan ltotnape;|^ rator s leve Lydecker, told \rmy depotJ{ e § ount y grand jury last June also s^iat it was “very possible” his in- i the base to p lnc j wor k is related to a vigi* 1 te fact he cooperated with au- l ii lorities.

Actor Vic Morrow, 53 ; Renee Chin, 6; and Myca Dinh Le, 7, died instantly when a helicopter plummeted to the ground dur ing location filming in a remote canyon near Newhall, Calif. Morrow was running with the two children directly beneath a low-flying helicopter as they fled a mock Vietnamese village and waded into a shallow stream. A special-effects explosion on shore sent a piece of debris into the helicopter’s tail rotor blade, sending the helicopter plung ing. Authorities contend the ex plosives were placed negligent ly, and witnesses have claimed Landis ordered the craft to fly lower than was safe — a charge the director denies. Landis, the film’s associate producer George Folsey Jr., helicopter pilot Dorcey Wingo, unit production manager Dan Allingham, and special effects chief Paul Stewart were indicted June 15 by the county grand jury on involuntary manslaugh ter charges. The indictments were the first criminal charges ever filed in connection with a filming accident. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 14. Landis withdrew from the up coming feature film “Dick Tra cy” to help prepare his defense. Stewart’s attorney, Arnold Klein, said his client lost a special effects job because he must work on the upcoming court case. Wingo has had his license re voked by federal authorities. Others involved with “Twi light Zone” said they have strug gled to find work in movies. “There just haven’t been any calls for operating jobs except from personal friends of mine outside the industry doing com mercials,” said Roger Smith, 47, a camera operator who was in the helicopter when it crashed. inong the doE| nal Guard Sen idrew Chavez t because we'rfl oesn’t mean w| 1 about the 'ould say most concerned ak have families.: Defense minister replaces usted Guatemalan president ep ant Jp United Press International GUATEMALA CITY — The luatemalan army overthrew lesident Efrain Rios Montt londay and replaced him with •efense Minister Gen.

I where the president has his office. In announcing the over throw, the high command said the coup was backed by all the military bases in the country. It was not immediately known if the army met any resistance. Planes and helicopters flew over the national palace, the Mariscal Zavala barracks — the largest in the country — and the military installations'at the Cam- po de Marte. Army units sealed off the streets near the national palace and police barricaded the entr ance to the government build ing. The army took over the country’s radio and television stations. Rios Montt, a “born again” Christian, seized power March 23, 1982 in a military coup that toppled Gen. Romeo Lucas Gar cia. In recent months he had come under increasing pressure to resign. On paper, Finkelstein was offi cially brought back to life. The elderly woman was so overjoyed by the news that she kissed the hand of Social Secur ity branch manager Allen Kent. “I was dead and in heaven, and now I’m alive,” she said, tears in her eyes. “I was in six concentration camps, and I never had as much trouble as this,” she said. Besides returning life to Fink elstein, the Social Security- Administration is returning her missed benefits. She is owed $2,039, payment of which will begin in two weeks. Her regular benefits are scheduled to re sume Sept. 3. The confusion began last De cember when her husband, Hersch, died. When she went to Riverside Funeral home to make funeral arrangements, her So cial Security number wound up on her husband’s death certifi cate. Social Security discovered the error a short time later, and cor rectly classified her husband as dead. But nobody bothered to remove Finkelstein’s name from the list of the deceased — where it remained for eight months. first lady travels to Denver o campaign against drugs ving an Buffet Ich and d Bar re Floor Dugh Frida) 1:30 ps f United Press International WASHINGTON — Nancy tatg an will fly to Denver ^dnesday for a daylong series ^appearances to promote her |lpaign to wipe out drug Ise among America’s youth.

Crippled jet lands safely United Press International LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A jetlin er with 103 people aboard blew a tire on takeoff and the rubber tread was sucked into one of the DC-9’s two engines, forcing an emergency one-engine landing at McCarran International Air port. Despite the flat tire and fouled engine, the airliner land ed safely Sunday with no in juries aboard. “A piece of tire got sucked into an engine, and I guess it quit,” said passenger Bill Voigt of Birmingham, Ala. “Every body went through it fine. There was no panic. Was I scared? ,Yes, I was a little scared.” Flight 522 had been bound for Memphis, Tenn., with an ultimate destination of Tampa, Fla. It carried 97 passengers and a crew of six. Federal Aviation Administra tion spokesman Dick Hallen said there was no fire and no injuries. Emergency airport fire equip ment was on standby when the aircraft landed at 4:16 p.m. after circling the Nevada desert for more than an hour to burn up fuel. Hallen said rubber from the blown tire was “ingested” into the engine, which was then shut down by the crew. “Pilots routinely turn off an engine on the same side of a blown tire for fear tread might enter the engine,” said Republic Airlines spokesman Bob Givens. “There was no fire and there were no injuries.” Givens said the aircraft cir cled the area to burn off fuel, and lower its weight before landing. “I heard a noise on takeoff and after that they gained alti tude. They told us they had to burn off gas and come back down,” said Voigt. “They told us that one landing gear had blown and we might have to make a crash landing.” Mark and Maureen Petrofsky of Birmingham said they knew something was wrong shortly af ter takeoff. “It sounded like when we took off one of the tires must have blown,” said Petrofsky. “You could smell a little burning, but we didn’t see any fire. They let us know they were getting rid of fuel.” Passengers were instructed to assume the crash position before landing by putting their heads in their lap and grabbing their ankles. “Our landing, even with a blown tire, was very smooth,” said Petrofsky. “It was much smoother than other flights I’ve been on where nothing went wrong.” New Soviet regulation punishes drunks, idlers S $ 1 ing will fly to Phoenix, Ariz. to visit her ailing mother, Mrs. Edith Davis.

The strict new regulations, published in the Communist Party newspaper Pravda Sun day, not only punish truants and drunks but those whose lazy work habits result in shoddy out put by their factory or enter prise. But in keeping with Andro pov’s campaign, launched seven months ago to step up industrial production and turn around the lagging economy, the new mea sures reward the industrious with increased vacation and salary. “Heaven only knows how it will be at work now. These reg ulations are so strict it is impossi ble for some people to observe them,” said one Soviet who ob jected to regulations limiting time away from work. In a new provision, anyone absent from his workplace more than three hours can be disci plined. It was not spelled out whether that included firing. For every day away from work without cause, however, one day is subtracted from vacation time. A worker who “systematically violates worker discipline,” which includes drinking on the job or appearing at work drunk, can be paid less for up to three months or moved for the same period to a lower-paid job. Dur ing this disciplinary period, he cannot quit his job. The measures, drawn up by the Council of Ministers and the Trade Union Council, were re viewed and approved by the rul ing Politburo 10 days ago. They apply to all citizens who can reasonably be expected to be part of the labor force. If a worker is fired, no matter where he finds a new job he will be docked half his production bonus payments for six months, although a board can decide af ter three months whether his performance has been so exem plary that full bonuses will be restored. 3d 1:45-3:45-5:45-7:45-9:50 CHEVY CHASE SCHULMAN THEATRES OFF ADULT TICKET 1st SHOW EACH DAY SCHULMAN 6 775-2463 775-2468 2002 E. 29th 2:45-5:05-7:25-9:40 WAR GAMES (Dolby) 2:30-4:45-7:15-9:35 THE STAR CHAMBER 2:40-4:55-7:35 9:45 FLASHDANCE(R) 2:35-5:00-7:30-9:55 TRADING PLACES 2:20-4:50-7:20-9:50 OCTOPUSSY (Dolby) NATIONAL LAMP ^ L siAcAnoni jIdidyou 1 know?!
