Plane crashes in West Germany 6 die, 14 hurt as wreckage burns R MUNICH, West Germany (AP) — A small plane “dropped like a stone” into a busy part of the city Tuesday, killing six people, injuring 14 and setting a fire that consumed a McDonald’s restaurant and a city bus, officials said. Walter Hermann, press officer for Munich po lice, said all three occupants of the plane were killed along with a bicyclist and two people in the McDonald’s parking lot. At least 10 of the in jured were on the bus. Police said the pilot was a student practicing landings in the single-engine Piper Cherokee, but a spokesman for air controllers at Munich’s Riem Airport said he was experienced and ap proaching to land after a checkout flight. About 30 people were inside the restaurant, but police said all got out safely. The restaurant, on the Wasserburgerlandstrasse in the Truder- ing section of Munich, was burned out. Firefighters needed more than an hour to con trol the flames on one of Munich’s busiest thor oughfares, slightly more than a mile from the air port and nine miles from downtown Munich. Guenter Scholz, another spokesman for Mu nich police, said: “The airplane was practicing landings at Riem and had made several shortly before the accident.” He said the pilot was being tested by a govern ment aviation security official and a woman also was aboard, but no details about her were avail able. Scholz said seven of those hurt were in crit ical condition. “The plane dropped like a stone,” said one po lice official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Accounts of the crash differed. Hermann said one version had it that the plane struck the bus and then plowed into Mc Donald’s at 3:30 p.m. at Eight hospitalized, inquiries begin in freak bus accident Scholz said,“The plane’s wing hit there;: rant” and debris from the aircraft strucktheln Mathais Marhofer, a spokesman for air trollers at the airport, said in a telephonei: view with the Associated Press late Tue; “Some of what I’ve heard on radio and teleiij vy ,\>,| | [ \ reports is all wrong.” | e „, Reagar I he pilot was not practicing touch* -h ^ H landings,” he said. “He was on an IFR quaK? 1 1 tion checkout flight and crashed on hisfirti 18 re proach.” IFR stands for Instrument Flight8,^ , i a ' | ‘ l Marhofer would not identify the itof H name, but said he had more than 15 yean flight experience.” in a speec “He departed Landsberg at 3:15 pit Reagan note crashed at 3:28 p.m., shortly after he waijad testified structed to make a 360-degree turn to therihe dark abc during his first simulated approach,” them ;r ms-sale m ler spokesman said. aid “no pr "Heeled fr ion is so sei roni the cot DENVER (AP) — Colorado’s governor named a top-level team Tuesday to investigate the accident in which a two-ton boulder acciden tally pushed off a mountainside by a state road crew smashed into a tour bus, killing seven people. Eight people remained hospital ized, two in critical condition. A state geologist who followed the boulder’s “pinball game” path down the mountainside said the odds against the tragedy occurring were “astronomical.” “If the boulder had been travel ing a little faster, or a little slower,” said geologist Ed Belknap of the Colorado Highway Department. “Or if the bus had been going a little faster or a little slower . . .” tion) within the limits of the law?” “I am sick and tired of people who try to avoid liability when it is there,” he said, adding that if the state’s legal limit of $400,000 on compensation for the accident is not enough he will ask the Legislature for more money. Romer and his aides worked until midnight Monday calling families of accident victims, and they started again at 6 a.m. Tuesday. In addition to naming the investi gation team, Gov. Roy Romer said he planned to “un-bureaucratize” the process for claiming damages against the state. “I am chief executive . . . and my first response is, we caused an in jury,” Romer said Tuesday at a news conference.“What can we do to work out a fair way (for compensa- He also declared a state of emer gency so the state could use $100,000 in contingency funds to transport relatives of the victims to Colorado. Four investigations into the acci dent were under way Tuesday, counting the one by Romer’s special panel. Other agencies that have launched inquiries are the National Transportation Safety Board, the Colorado State Patrol and the Colo rado Highway Department. Reports from the State Patrol and Highway Department were ex pected before the end of the week. Six people were killed instantly when the boulder — 6 feet high and 4 feet across — rolled down a moun tainside below 11,315-foot Ber- thoud Pass on Monday and ripped out the right side of a Gray Line tour bus. Another person died at Denver General Hospital. The 28 passengers and driver were taking Gray Line’s $30 “Circle Tour,” a one-day tour that starts in Denver and loops through Rocky Mountain National Park before re turning to Denver. The bus was about 60 highway miles northwest of Denver when the boulder slammed into it. The boulder, dislodged by a Col orado Highway Department main tenance crew working on the moun tainside, rolled through several hundred feet of trees before it hit the highway and the bus. “It was like a pinball game. The speed was variable. It would hit a tree and then slow down. Then it would start up again. It deflected back and forth,” Belknap said after he followed the boulder’s circuitous route.

Greenspan, 61, was praised by President Reagan during the White House ceremony as “an economist’s economist” who had gained wide respect for his accom plishments as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers un der President Gerald R. Ford and on various other government com missions. The president said he was confi dent that Greenspan would suc ceed at the delicate task of keeping the economic recovery alive while guarding against a resurgence of inflation. The economist is the 13th chair man since the central bank was created in 1913. “Today, low inflation and eco nomic growth can and must go hand in hand,” Reagan said. Greenspan was sworn in by Vice President Bush in an East Room filled with members of the presi dent’s Cabinet, past and current members of the Federal Reserve and representatives from Ameri can business. In his remarks, Greenspan said he was only sorry that former Fed Chairman Arthur Burns, “my mentor for 35 years,” could not be present for the ceremony. Burns died recently after heart surgery. Greenspan spoke to his widow following the ceremony. Both Reagan and Greenspan praised Volcker’s accomplish ments during his eight years as Fed chairman. said the mil sal teams He singled out “inflation, wh guard patre always stays put, the stock markd Tankers which is always a bull, the f which is always stable, inter# rates, which always stay low, employment, which stays high.

The seventh body was found on the roof of the house. Police Lt. James Hansen said the crew digging up the lot found only the remains of what ap peared to be a dog. Harrison “Marty” Graham, 28, who rented the $90-a-month apartment for four years, told one teen-ager he was burying dogs in the lot, police said. Late Tuesday, Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s of fice took over the handling of information in volving the case, but didn’t state a reason for its action. There was no indication of additional charges against Harrison, for whom a warrant for corpse abuse was issued Monday. Homicide Capt. Robert Grasso on Tuesday re leased the first names of two women who had lived in the building, Mary and Renee. Neighbor Patricia White, 43, told police she heard screaming recently and when she looked out a window she saw Graham dangling the woman identified as Renee by her hands out a third-floor window.
