Reagan likens Iran arms deal
to paying ransom to kidnappeihc
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan said Thursday that tra
ding arms to Iran for hostages was
“a little like paying ransom to a kid
napper” and was likely to encourage
more hostage-taking in the Middle
East.
Reagan, trying to escape the sting
of the Iran-Contra affair with a trip
to this central Missouri city of
65,000, was confronted anew by the
issue on his first journey out of
Washington this year.
And in his remarks, he rendered
his harshest verdict yet about the
arms sales arrangement carried out
under his approval.
On a trip intended to focus atten
tion on his campaign for quality edu
cation, Reagan collided with the Iran
issue in a question from 11-year-old
Heather Watson in a sixth-grade civ
ics class at Fairview Elementary
School.
Recounting the history of his con
troversial policy, Reagan said his ini
tiative began as an attempt to estab
lish contacts with friendly elements
in Iran, and that when the Iranians

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— An unmanned rocket that ap
peared to have been hit by lightning
careened out of control Thursday
and was destroyed by radio signal 51
seconds after it lifted off with an $83
million military communications sa
tellite.
A NASA videotape clearly showed
a lightning bolt descending from the
vicinity of the Atlas-Centaur rocket,
hidden in clouds, and striking the
launch pad about the time the vehi
cle exploded. Launch officials, how
ever, said they did not want to specu
late on what went wrong until they
analyzed data.
Flaming debris from the shattered
rocket and payload plunged into the
Atlantic Ocean about three miles
offshore. Coast Guard boats hurried
to the scene to pick up any floating
debris.
The 137-foot rocket lifted off in a
rain storm at 3:22 p.m. CST and
quickly darted into a cloud bank. As
it disappeared, observers saw what
they thought was a lightning flash
near the vehicle.
NASA launch commentator
George Diller said the rocket ap
peared to be flying normally, but
then he suddenly announced, “We
have lost all telemetry data. . . . We
appeared to have lost the vehicle.”
Later, he reported that the rocket
had shot out of control and was
blown apart, at an altitude of 14,250
feet, by a radio signal that detonated
explosive charges in the vehicle.
lightning strike or any other factor
until they had a chance to study all
data received, launch director James
L. Womack conceded:
That was necessary to prevent the
rocket from veering toward pop
ulated areas. The explosion of the
vehicle was not visible from the
ground because of the cloud cover.
But observers did hear a muffled
blast.
Although launch officials were re
luctant to blame the failure on a
“Certainly, there was a possibility
there was a lightning strike in the
area. We’ve asked the range to check
all their intensity meters to deter
mine if there was one.”
John W. Gibb, manager of NA
SA’s Atlas-Centaur project office,
said range weather officials had as
sured the launch team there was no
lightning within five miles of the
launch pad or the rocket’s flight
path just before the go-ahead was
given to launch.
Launch rules prohibit a liftoff if
there is electrical activity within five
miles.
The failure ruined a $161 million
mission, with the Atlas-Centaur cost
ing $78 million and the satellite $83
million.

FORT MILL, S.C. (AP) — The PTL’s new
leaders said Thursday that Jim Bakker and his
wife would stay on the payroll but must not be ac
tive in the ministry, while Bakker’s church said
he might face dismissal for “moral failure” in a
sexual liaison seven years ago.
“The body of Christ is too valuable to be a
party to bickering and conflict,” the Rev. Jerry
Falwell said after the new PTL board met.
Falwell said the board had agreed to an inde
pendent audit of PTL’s finances and also would
consider taking out a $50 million loan from an
unidentified source in Great Britain to consol
idate its debts.
Bakker resigned as head of the television min
istry last week, saying he had been blackmailed
over the liaison and that there was a “diabolical
plot” to take over the 500,000-member PTL.
“We do not believe there is any evidence of
blackmail,” the Rev. G. Raymond Carlson, gen
eral superintendent of the Assemblies of God,
said at a news conference in Springfield, Mo.
“To the contrary, the evidence seems to indi
cate that effort and money have been expended
to cover moral failure,” he said. “We are deeply
sorry to have to say this. We grieve for the impact
all this has had upon the entire Christian j
munity.
“The complete procedure must and willifj
