Crane to get first commercial flight
United Press International
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.
— Wildlife experts Tuesday
prepared an injured young
whooping crane known as “83-
14” for a commercial flight
across country to take its place
in a captive flock.
The 10-month-old bird, if
healthy enough following sur
gery to remove part of a wing, is
to be flown to Denver Wednes
day and then on to Laurel, Md.,
to become a breeder at the Pa
tuxent Wildlife Research Cen
ter.
“It will never fly again — on
his own,” said Wendy Brown, a
member of a University of
Idaho group trying to save the
magnificent migratory birds
from extinction. At present,
about 140 whoopers are living
— more than double the num
ber 10 years ago.
A Grand Junction-area
rancher found the downed bird
April 20. Officials theorized it
flew into a power line and dam
aged its left wing en route to its
summer nesting area in Cray’s
Lake, Idaho.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service recovered the bird, and
took it to Grand Junction.
There, veterinarian Jeff Mul
lins operated to remove a part
of its left wing. Brown said the
bird was recovering well despite
having lost weight from an esti
mated 1 5 pounds to 9 pounds.
For transport, a special 36-
inch tall box will be used. The
bird can stand up in the box but
not spread its wings.

He bought a Cripple Creek Condominium. Now he’s
enjoying the tax advantages of ownership-he’s
building equity and he’ll have prime rental property
after I’ve graduated. That’s important to my dad.
But, I’m interested in the amenities Cripple Creek
offers-microwave ovens, automatic icemakers, large
walk-in closets, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and
a hot tub. And Cripple Creek is located in the heart of
student living, close to restaurants, shopping, clubs,
banking facilities, and it’s right on the shuttle bus
route. Living at Cripple Creek says that I have style
and my dad has a solid investment. My college
education will reap benefits for both of us.
Cripple Creek Condominums start at $39,950.

DALLAS — Lyndon La-
Rouche Jr., who calls Henry
Kissinger an agent of Soviet in
fluence and has accused the
British Royal family of dealing
drugs, Tuesday filed suit in an
attempt to force his way into to
night’s Democratic presidential
debate. -
LaRouche, an arch-conserva
tive Democrat who is making
his third run for the presidency,
claims the League of Women
Voters is illegally excluding him
from the debate.
The League is sponsoring its
fourth Democratic presidential
debate of the year Wednesday
night at the Dallas-Fort Worth
Regional Airport. Gary Hart,
Walter Mondale and Jesse Jack-
son planned to take part.
LaRouche, a former leftist
who swung to the far right of
the political spectrum, has not
taken part in any of the
League’s debates this year.
He filed suit after being ex
cluded from a Pittsburgh de
bate, but he lost.
LaRouche operative Daniel
Leach said the suit asked that a
Fort Worth judge either force
the League to let LaRouche
take part in the debate or issue
ah injunction to stop it.
Leach accused the League of
conspiring against LaRouche,
whose political followers were
arrested in 1973 for attacks on
members of left-wing groups.
He said the League, a tax
exempt group that bills itself as
nonpartisan, ‘‘should drop its
cover.”
“There’s nothing fair or non
partisan . about the League of
excluded from the debate be
cause he was not a major candi
date.
“There must be some
method of assessing who are the
most significant national candi
dates or there would be no op
portunity for candidates to ap
pear in that forum,” she said.
