32 commuters killed, 80 injured
in rush-hour London subway fire
LONDON (AP) — Fire broke out
Wednesday evening below a wooden
escalator in one of London’s busiest
subway stations, killing 32 commut
ers and injuring about 80 others, fire
and transport officials said.
Dense smoke billowed from the
mammoth King’s Cross station,
where five lines of the Underground
system connect with British Rail in
tercity services. Ambulances with si
rens blaring ferried the dead and in
jured to hospitals.
Gordon White, a spokesman for
London Fire Brigade, said 32 people
were confirmed dead in the fire that
broke out during evening rush hour.
He said about 30 others were badly
burned and 50 sustained less severe
injuries, such as smoke inhalation.
The British Broadcasting Corp.
said without attribution that the
death toll could reach 40.
Firefighters equipped with
breathing apparatus burrowed into
smoke-filled tunnels searching for
anyone trapped in the labyrinth.
A man accompanied by his wife
and child said: “All the firemen were
going down into the Underground.
We saw a woman and a man coming
up. The man had all his hair burned
off and his face was black, and the
woman was screaming.’
Police Superintendent David Fitz
simmons said, “No one who was
down there where the fire started
could possibly be living.”
The fire began at 7:36 p.m. under
a wooden escalator, but its cause was
not known.
It was the worst disaster on the
London Underground system since
43 people were killed ana 74 injured
when a train crashed into a wall at
Moorgate station on Feb. 28, 1975.
King’s Cross is a vast complex
built in 1851-52. Five subway lines
go to King’s Cross: the Northern,
Circle, Metropolitan, Piccadilly and
Victoria.
The fire was brought under con
trol within two hours, but White said
smoke still filled the station.
Press Association, Britain’s do
mestic news agency, said 30 people
were feared trapped in the terminal
at one stage but White said late
Wednesday night it was not known
how many remained in the station.
President contributed to deception
of Iran-Contra affair, officials report
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan contributed to a mas
sive deception of Congress and the
public in the Iran-Contra affair and
bears responsibility for thwarting
the law by allowing zealots to seize
policy control, congressional investi
gators concluded Wednesday.
“These committees found no di
rect evidence suggesting that the
president was a knowing participant
in the effort to deceive Congress and
the American public,” the Senate
and House investigating panels
wrote. “But the president’s actions
and statements contributed to the
deception.
“The ultimate responsibility for
the events in the Iran-Contra affair
must rest with the president. If the
president did not know what his na
tional security advisers were doing,
he should have.”
The 690-page final report comes
three months after the conclusion of
summer-long hearings into the se
cret sales oTU.S. weapons to Iran
and the diversion of some profits to
the Nicaraguan rebels known as
Contras.
At the White House, Reagan
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said,
“This new report reflects the subjec
tive opinions and not even the unan
imous judgment of the committee.”
The report, in one new disclosure,
Analyst: White House to deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
congressional Iran-Contra report
has hammered President Reagan
with embarrassing evidence that

that the major-
ity findings are
“predictably partisan” and nothing
more than “the subjective views of
the members.”

Fitzwater refused to discuss specific

Continentol Airlines
defends pilots actions
DENVER (AP) — Continental
Airlines on Wednesday said the co
pilot of Flight 1713, who had only 36
hours of flying time on a DC-9, was
at the controls when the jet crashed
in a snowstorm, killing 28 people
and injuring 54.
Capt. Richard Hillman, Continen
tal vice president for flight opera
tions, said the captain did not act im
properly in assigning co-pilot Lee
Bruecher to handle the takeoff Sun
day at Stapleton International Air
port.
“The decision as to who makes the
takeoff is left to the captain,” Hill
man said. “It’s not unusual at all for
a captain to assign the duties of fly
ing the airplane to the co-pilot.”
The Continental executive would
not comment on reports from
sources close to the investigation that
Capt. Frank Zvonek may have tried
to take over at the last moment.
However, National Transporta
tion Safety Board chairman Jim
Burnett said later that the captain
may have had his hands on the con
trols when the jet crashed. Both of
Zvonek’s arms were broken, as was
his control column, Burnett said.
Hillman said that Bruecher had
25 hours’ flying time on a DC-9 dur
ing training but that he did not know
whether any of the 11 hours
Bruecher had flown since complet
ing training had been in snowy
weather.
House members muster fight
against Gorbachev address
WASHINGTON (AP) — At least
75 House members, mostly Republi
cans, signed a letter Wednesday pro
testing a White House proposal that
Soviet General Secretary Mikhail
Gorbachev become the first commu
nist leader to address a joint meeting
of Congress.
A morning session of the House
Republican Conference turned into
“one hell of a donnybrook” over the
request that Gorbachev be invited to
address a joint meeting on Dec. 9
during the Washington summit,
Rep. Robert Dornan, R-Calif, said.
Rep. Dick Cheney of Wyoming,
third in the House GOP leadership,
said “most Republican members feel
very strongly that the invitation to
speak to a joint session is a high
honor that should not he extended
to the head of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union.”
Cheney, chairman of the House
Republican Conference, the GOP
caucus, said he had expressed his
displeasure to White House officials,
but the administration showed no
sign Wednesday of backing down
from the proposal.

a new wisdom about the process of
governing in America,” he said.
If recent history is any guide,
however, Reagan will not be able to
put the affair behind him. It has
dogged him persistently for a year,
eroding confidence in his presidency
and undermining his authority.
And there’s more to come.
Sources say independent counsel
Lawrence E. Walsh is preparing a
broad conspiracy charge against
Reagan’s former national security
adviser, John M. Poindexter, and
former National Security Council
aide Lt. Col. Oliver L. North, along
with two arms dealers, stemming
from the Iran-Contra affair.
Will Reagan pardon Poindexter
and North? As recently as Oct. 2,
Reagan said, “My own personal be
lief is that they were not involved in
anything that was breaking the law.”
moderates.
The report said American opera
tives were dismayed to discover that
the second channel represented the
same Iranian leaders as did the first
channel, and that some U.S. weap
ons destined for so-called moderates
in fact went to Iran’s radical Revolu
tionary Guards.
Also, one of the moderates may
have masterminded the kidnappings
of at least two of the Americans then
being held hostage in Lebanon —
educator Frank Reed and William
Buckley, the Beirut CIA station
chief who was killed while in captiv-
ity.
The report quoted American offi
cials as saying the discovery really
blew their minds. But it said they
voiced no objections to the operation
continuing.
The congressional report spells
out details of a story it said was laced
with lying, deception, excessive and
corrosive secrecy, disdain for the
law, confusion and disarray, perva
sive dishonesty and a cover-up
marked by the deliberate destruc
tion of thousands of documents.
“A small group of senior officials
believed that they alone knew what
was right,” the investigating lawmak
ers said. “What may apdy be called
the ‘cabal of the zealots’ was in
charge.”
All six Republicans on the House
panel and two of the five GOP Sen
ate panel members registered dis
sent, concluding that the president
and his men were guilty of no more
than errors of judgment.
