Capsized ferry kills 14
50 others are missing
United Press International
CATANAUAN, Philippines —
Survivors of a ferry that sank in
tropical storm Warren said Tuesday
a huge wave smashed into the over
crowded ship and sank it in three
minutes, leaving at least 14 people
dead and 50 others missing.
Rescuers searched for the missing
E eople after the vessel Venus was
altered by huge waves and sank
Monday in Tayabas Bay off the
coastal town of Catanauan, 120 miles
southeast of Manila.
The U.S. Air Force assisted the
Philippine Air Force and Coast
Guam in the search with a heli
copter and a C-130 transport air
craft.
Of the vessel’s 242 passengers and
crew, 178 had been rescued, said
Capt. Feliciano Caliboso, coast guard
operations officer. Most of them
were sent to Catanauan hospital af
ter they were picked up by a passing
domestic ferry boat.
Caliboso said 14 people were con
firmed dead in the accident. The
745-ton Venus was traveling from
Laoang in the central island of Sa
mar to Manila.
Lourdes Lobereta, a Samar mer
chant, said she was holding her two
children when a wave struck the ves
sel. She said the ferry was over
crowded with people and cargo.
“My children disappeared, the
boat swayed twice and then it went
down,” she said, tears streaming
down her face.
Another passenger, Luciano Lis-
tejo said: “The boat was crowded
and packed with cargo. In three
minutes the water swallowed the
ship.”
Samson Adamero was traveling
with her sister-in-law and her 3-
month-old baby when the ferry’s
bow went up on a crest and its stern
went under.
He said he lost his sister-in-law but
saved the baby using a life jacket he
took from a dead man floating in the
water.
National police officials said 42
people also aied in floods and land
slides spawned by Warren's peak
winds of 62 mph.
Frigate rejected
by Navy officials
United Press International
WASH INGTON — The Navy has
refused to accept a guided-missile
frigate from its builder because of
suspected faulty microchips in its in
struments and the rejection could be
the first of many, officials said Tues
day.
With 185 officers and men wait
ing to board the $398 million frigate
Gary in Long Beach, Calif., the Na
vy’s superintendent of shipbuilding
at the facility decided not to accept
delivery of the vessel.
It is highly unusual for the Navy
to reject a ship, a Navy official said.
The action involving the frigate
Gary arose from a Pentagon decision
Sept. 10 to reject items containing
any of 4,700 different kinds of mi
crochips made by the Texas Instru
ments Corp. at its Midland, Texas,
plant because of improper testing of
the electronic devices.
By Wednesday, TI will have re
tested and approved 3,375 of the
4,700 chips, a Defense Logistics
Agency spokesman said.
An estimated 15 million of the
complex, miniaturized electronic cir
cuits have been produced and inade
quately tested during the past eight
years, a logistics official said.
“Equipment installed in the ship
has not been properly tested in all
respects,” the Navy said in a brief
statement. Todd Shipyards Inc.,
which built the Gary in Seattle,
Wash., and delivered it 27 weeks
ahead of schedule, failed to satisfy
Navy requirements that contractors
either certify that equipment has
been properly tested or request a
waiver and provide an adequate war
ranty for the affected equipment,
the Navy said.
The Navy’s rejection of the Gary
contradicts assurances given Sept. 13
by the Pentagon’s chief of research
and engineering. Undersecretary
Richard DeLauer, that the problem
with the microchips was more a pa
per concern than a substantial one.
Yet the Navy rejected the Gary six
weeks later and a Navy official, who
spoke on condition he not be identi
fied, said similar action can be ex
pected in the future.
Len Thorell, vice president and
general manager of Todd Shipyards
in Los Angeles, said the firm has
identified two systems aboard the
Gary that contain TI microchips —
the speed and course indicators on
the bridge.
“I’m sure there are submarines
and other ships coming up where
there will be similar problems,” he
said.
Todd purchased the systems from
the Electrical Tachometer Co. of
Philadelphia, Thorell said in a tele
phone interview from his company’s
New York headquarters. He said
Todd was taking appropriate steps
to arrange for replacement parts, if
necessary, and that the problem
should be resolved within a week.
Thorell also said Todd is respon
sible only for guaranteeing the qual
ity of systems it bought for the ship
and not those the Navy instructed
the company to buy and install
aboard the vessel. In some cases,
Todd has to buy equipment from
vendors the Navy identifies, he said.
“Obviously, that’s going to be a
point of negotiation — what the
Navy thinks Todd is responsible
for,” a Navy official said. “The Navy
says it’s all the systems on board.”
Gandhi
(continued from page 1)
said she was unafraid of assassina
tion.
“No, I’m not afraid,” she told
United Press International in an in
terview this month.
“I am frequently attacked,” she
said. ” Once a man poked a gun at
me. Another time in Delhi someone
threw a knife at me.”
In 1967, she was hit by a rock
which bloodied her face, but the in
domitable Gandhi simply pulled up
her sari to hide the blood and con
tinued on the podium.
Gandhi, the only child of India’s
first prime minister Jawharlal
Nehru, had become symbol of a
strong, unified India to many of In
dia’s 700 million people.
She lost a re-election bid in 1977
~ but regained the prime minister’s
post in 1980. Gandhi was expected
to seek yet another five-year term in
elections due by January 1985.
In Washington, White House
spokesman Larry Speakes said Presi
dent Reagan would be notified
about the assassination, but officials
were awaiting further details before
commenting.
