Paul Seligson, a Washington attor ney representing Southwest, said Continental’s objection to the merger is “obviously just a delaying tactic in order to stall the merger — and stalling the merger could kill Muse.” The Department of Transporta tion has to approve the merger. The Justice Department has given its blessing. Southwest told DOT last Friday “we had to have a decision by this Friday or we were going to have to consider other actions,” including withdrawal from the merger or a lawsuit against DOT, Seligson said. A DOT spokesman said no decision was expected this week. Continental spokesman Mike Cin- elli said Continental only wants DOT to decide whether Continental can use Love Field, an in-town Dallas air port from which flights are re stricted. This restriction forces larger airlines to use Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, lo cated between Dallas and Fort Worth. Southwest had maintained a virtual lock on use of Love Field un til Muse mounted its challenge to Southwest four years ago. The DOT tentatively approved the merger with the understanding that it would not hurt competition, Cinelli said. Seligson said, however, the De partment of Justice told DOT last Friday that the issue of competition is moot because the Southwest-Muse merger qualifies for approval under the “failing company doctrine.” He said the airline set the Friday deadline because Muse must pay $7.1 million to creditors by the end of the month, and Southwest’s of fi cers have decided not to loan Muse any more operating money. Also, in its merger agreement with Muse, Southwest agreed to stay with the merger plan at least until June 22, Seligson said. Muse stock holders vote on the merger on Thursday.

He wouldn’t give the min’s name, saying “it wouldn’t be healthy for him . . . “It was like a gift being dropped in our laps,” Linde said of the offer of help. “I don’t know if it helped or not. It sure couldn’t hurt.” Yellow ribbons began appearing on trees in hometowns of those still being held in Beirut in a tribute rem iniscent of days when Americans were held hostage in Iran five years a s°- “This really brings it home,” said Jack Pointer of Richmond, Mo., a friend of pilot John L. Testrake, 57. “This is terrorism right here in downtown America.” Residents of the town of 5,500 flew flags and began tying ribbons to trees as they continued prayer vigils for Testrake’s safe return. Ribbons also fluttered outside St. Margaret Mary Roman Catholic church in Algonquin, Ill. — 18 of the congregations’ members were aboard the hijacked plane and four remained captive in Beirut, along with two priests from neighboring towns.
