Officials say
plane flying
low for load
PARIS (AP) — A new Airbus 320
that crashed at an air show was fly
ing too low for the load it carried
and the pilot did not have time to
maneuver it out of danger, officials
said Monday following a preliminary
investigation.
Three passengers were killed and
50 injured as the jetliner crashed
into the woods Sunday during a
demonstration flight near Mulhouse
in eastern France.
Daniel Tennenbaum, chief of the
Civil Aviation Authority, said the Air
France jet was flying at 30 feet.
In Mulhouse, prosecutor Jean
Volff said, “The A320 passed at 30
feet altitude, which is completely
outside the technical norms when it
is carrying passengers,
said f
He said the normal minimum alti
tude for such conditions was 100
feet and added, without giving de
tails, that the pilot had “discon
nected the automatic controls at the
moment of the accident and was in
manual control.”
Tennenbaum told a news confer
ence in Paris the fully computerized
aircraft needed eight seconds to re
spond to the command of pilot
Michel Hasseline and only five sec
onds were available because of the
low altitude.
Hasseline was quoted in the
French press Monday as telling a
rescuer, “I wanted to increase the
power, but the aircraft did not re
spond.”
Louis Mermaz, the transport min
ister, said the crash did not reflect on
the performance of the A320.
He said there was “no available el
ement that puts into question the
good functioning of the aircraft and
the security of A320 flights during
normal functioning. Nothing justi
fies ending A320 flights.”
Mermaz said he called the news
conference because news reports
questioned the new aircraft’s reliabil
ity and “it was important to respond
quickly to the legitimate public ques
tions.”
A spokesman for Airbus Indus
trie, the manufacturer, said earlier
there were indications human error
caused the crash, but Christian
Roger, president of the Air France
pilots’ union, said the engines may
have failed to restart at the pilot’s
command. The aircraft was carrying
133 people.
The union added in a statement,
“if the breakdown was in the com
puter, there would be no informa
tion on it in the black box.”
Mermaz said both flight recorders
were recovered, “so the inquiry
should be rapid.”
Government officials said pri
vately the pilot, Hasseline, and co-pi-
lot Pierre Mazieres were not injured
and should be able to help investiga
tors.
The narrow-bodied A320 was de
veloped by a European consortium
over four years at a cost of $2 billion.

AMA wants crackdown on drug users
CHICAGO (AP) — The nation
is losing the “war on drugs” by
concentrating on catching traf
fickers rather treating abusers,
contends a report considered
Monday at the American Medical
Association’s annual policymak
ing convention.
“The heart of the problem lies
in the demand,” the report says.
It recommmends against legal
izing drugs, but calls for the fed
eral government to ease restric
tions on those who may receive
methadone treatment.
The 420-member House of
Delegates, a legislative Ixxly rep
resenting the AMA’s 295,000
members, is expected to act on
the proposed drug policy before
the convention ends Thursday.
The report is by the AMA’s hoard
of trustees.
"We think this lays
blueprint for the American
pie to effectively do somei
about the drug problem,
Dr. Lonnie Bristow, an
trustee and internist fromBerlij
ley, Calif.
“We f rankly hate to see
just going down the tubes*
our nation talks about whnl
we should have the Army and i
Navy patrolling thebordersio
terdict drug sellers,” he said.
He said the AMA boards
port shows the nation's mm;
publicized war on drugs |j
“been a failure because its
the wrong focus."
“As long as we concentraie:
the supply end of the proW
we’re just pouring money ini
sieve,” Bristow said in an ins
view Sunday.

Reagan backs AIDS discrimination lav
WASHINGTON (AP) —Presi
dent Reagan on Monday ac
cepted the report of his AIDS
commission with a hint that he is
ready to back stepped-up efforts
to bar discrimination against peo
ple who suffer from the deadly
disease.
“The report represents an im
pressive effort and significantly
increases our level of understand
ing to deal with AIDS,” Reagan
said after meeting with retired
Adm. James D. Watkins, the pan
el’s chairman.
The president announced in a
written statement that in re
sponse to the commission’s nearly
600 recommendations, he had di
rected Dr. Ian MacDonald, a spe
cial assistant for drug policy, to
recommend within 30 days “a
course of action that takes us for
ward.”
But what Watkins found e
heartening was an additK
statement that Reagan made
connection with the study p
principal recommendation-t
enactment of federal legislat)
prohibiting discriminan
against AIDS victims.
"At Admiral Watkins’ suggi
lion, I have also directed Dr )li
Donald to include among
priorities consideration of sj etails ol t
cific measures to strengthen!:
plementation of the pi
guidance from ‘AIDS in
Workplace,”’ Reagan said.
These guidelines, which sp
out the rights of AIDS suffer!
were given by the Office offi
sonnet Management, the ago
responsible for the federal gi
“rnment’s employees.

Old testimony foreshadowed probe
WASHINGTON (AP) — De
fense Department officials rou
tinely bypassed their own con
tracting system by giving key
documents with classified infor
mation to private consultants,
according to long-buried court
testimony.
A massive criminal investiga
tion of Pentagon contracting
practices is centered on the pass
ing of secret information to pri
vate consultants, who in turn sold
it to contractors.
The system wasn’t widely
talked about between the Defense
Department and contractors and
so “my mouth fell open” when a
contractor she had never met
called to ask her for an interpre
tation of a document she had
written, testified Caroline A.
Chewning, who works for the De
fense Advanced Research Pro
jects Agency.
But in general Chewning de
fended the system.
She said the official contracting
system was unworkable, and
cials in her agency — whichwoilj
on futuristic military tedm
— viewed it “in the governmef* AUSTIh
interest” to cooperate with oi-H ears
t ractors, “or else we are hurtin:
