MOSCOW (AP) — Armenian ac
tivists said Wednesday that Soviet
Army paratroopers fired on protes
ters trying to shut down Yerevan’s
airport and killed up to Five people.
A Soviet official denied there had
been any clashes or deaths.
“The rumors that an Armenian
was killed are groundless,” Foreign
Ministry spokesman Vadim Perfi-
lyev told a news conference.
But Perfilyev and the activists
agreed that some 2,000 people had
tried to shut down Zvarnots Airport,
and that troops quashed what the ac
tivists said was a political protest in
the southern republic related to a
simmering territorial dispute.
Since February, Yerevan has been
the scene of extensive demonstra
tions by Armenians demanding an
nexation of Nagorno-Karabakh, a
mostly Armenian region of neigh
boring Azerbaijan.
Until now, the protests reportedly
have been peaceful.
The Communist Party daily
Pravda said planes were allowed to
lanH hut that demonstrators
“grossly disrupted order” and pre
vented them from taking off again.
Hundreds of passengers were
stranded, it said.
The evening television news pro
gram “Vremya” said 3,000 people
took part in the protest, and that 60
flights were grounded along with
14,000 passengers.
Perfilyev told the Tass news
agency that more than 400 people
swarmed into the airport’s terminal,
while another 1,500 gathered out
side.
He said the demonstrators im-
E eded the sale of tickets and the eol
ation of luggage, ventured onto
the landing strip, stopped passen
gers from entering the terminal, and
paralyzed the work of the airport
dispatcher.
For an hour, internal security
troops with bullhorns ordered the
protesters to leave, then intervened
to evict them.
“They were forced out, but there
were no clashes or Fights,” Perfilyev
said.
Protesters then began hurling
Soviets prepare to
first of two probes
MOSCOW (AP) — Space officials
from more than a dozen countries
converged on a Central Asian steppe
Wednesday for the launch of the
first of two probes to Mars’ potato
shaped moon, Phobos.
The Soviet Union says the mission
will help prepare for manned flight
to the red planet.
Soviet media said final prepara
tions were being made at the Baiko
nur launch site in Kazakhstan for
the launch Thursday of Phobos I, a
joint East-West project to study Pho
bos and Mars itself.
Phobos II, the second satellite, is
scheduled to blast off July 12.
Soviet television late Tuesday
showed the silver-white probe and
its 60-yard-tall Soviet-made Proton
rocket being moved into place.
The satellites will enter Mars’
gravity in January, and begin a
three-month remote study of the
surface and atmosphere of Mars. Af
ter that, scientists said, they will draw
closer to Phobos and drop descent
vehicles carrying laser, ionic and ra
dar equipment to help determine the
internal structure and composition
of the moon.
The probes are expected to be
sent to Phobos in about April of next
year, according to Roald Sagdeyev,
director of the Soviet Academy of
Sciences’ Space Research Institute.
Soviet space scientists said Phobos
is an important step toward a
manned flight to Mars, which they
hope can take place in the early 21 st
century. Officials including Soviet
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev have
proposed that the United States take
part in the mission.
“First, it is necessary to draw up a
more accurate n^p of* t^e.Mars sur
face in order to choose a place for
the future landing,” said Vyacheslav
Balebanov, a deputy to Sagdeyev.
“Then, it is necessary to study the
climate and soil characteristics and
find out whether oxygen should be
taken from Earth, or whether it can
be gotten directly on the planet. The
rocks and bottles, and 36 people
“had to seek medical assistance,”
Perfiliyev said.
The government daily Izvestia
said the demonstrators demanded
that the airport staff shut down op
erations.
“An intervention by the forces of
order became necessary,” the paper
said. “Unfortunately, in the clashes
that ensued, some violators of law
and order suffered, as well as several
policemen.” It gave no further de
tails.
Armenian activists in Moscow,
however, said witnesses had tele
phoned them from Yerevan to say
that army troops carrying machine
guns and backed by tanks had begun
firing without warning on the pro
testers.
“All of a sudden, they started
shooting,” artist Kuryun G. Nagape-
tyan told about 50 people who gath
ered for an evening rally outside
Moscow’s red-brick Armenian
church.

study of Mars renewed under the
Phobos program should provide an
swers to those questions," he said in
an interview with the newspaper So-
vietskaya Rossiya, published Thurs
day.
The Soviet news agency Tass said
the Phobos television system will
provide color photographs and a
memory unit will permit transmis
sion of up to 1,100 pictures to Earth.
Soviet space officials said the
launch itself will cost about $65 mil
lion and that the total cost of the
project was about $480 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The un
answered questions remaining about
the Iranian Airbus destroyed by an
American missile have given rise to
some bizarre theories about the
downing of the plane.
Those television images of bloated
bodies floating in the Persian Gulf
fuel speculation but no answers.
On television, the bodies ap
peared to be nude and to be so
bloated as to suggest they were in the
water for some time. How come?
How did the Iranians have a tele
vision camera in place to capture
what Iranian television said were
shots of the plane at the moment it
was hit? (To the viewer, the plane
was a mere dot on the screen and the
pictures were too grainy to lead to
that conclusion.)
No American official has publicly
suggested that Iran’s revolutionary
government deliberately sent civil
ians on Iran Air flight 655 to their
death, but terrorism expert Robert
Kupperman said he had heard “a
few people in the Pentagon” ad-

vance such theories.
“I don’t give much credence to it
personally,” said Kupperman, a se
nior adviser at the Center for Strate
gic and International Studies, a
think tank. “I don’t believe that any
body is going to be able to prove that
this has been a set-up.”
Neil C. Livingstone, a conserva
tive expert on terrorism, said there
are “some real strange questions”
about the incident, citing television
footage provided by the Iranians.
“It’s very hard to explain why
someone would be taking pictures of
a plane flying in the gulf,” Liv
ingstone said.
Dr. Charles Ruehle, the former
commander of the Armed Forces
Institute of Medical Pathology, said
finding floating, bloated bodies
within a short time would not be un
usual after a crash into warm, salty
water.

Ruehle said he was puzzled by
why the bodies appeared to be nude.
“In my experience, there has been
nothing that would explain that," he
said.
The experts, however, all said
there is not enough available infor
mation to evaluate exactly what hap
pened.
Gary Sick, a Columbia University
professor and a National Security
Council aide under President Car
ter, said he began to hear people
suggest “within hours” of Sunday’s
attack that the Airbus had taunted
the Navy warship Vincennes on pur

“It is an easy explanation that
takes the United States off the hook

Sick said. At present, the evidence

said.

Presidential candidate Dr. George
Pincus, dean of the Newark College
of Engineering at the New Jersey In
stitute of Technology, said the lack
of openness by the Board is not sur
prising, but perhaps not entirely
right either.
“I feel that this interviewing proc
ess is of great interest to people of
many constituencies — students,
alumni, faculty and government —
and I’m surprised that the list of can
didates has not been narrowed,” he
said. “Usually as the process goes on,
there is a narrowing of the list to get
to the candidates who are actually
being considered. That does not
seem to be the case here.
“In many cases though, a lot of
people would not participate if their
interest was known.”
The list includes the names of five
A&M administrators; however, only
Dr. William Mobley, executive dep
uty chancellor, and Dr. Robert
Walker, vice president for devel
opment, were available for comment
Wednesday. Mobley offered no
comment and referred all questions
regarding to his candidacy to Pres-
nal. Walker said he has heard noth
ing from the committee and also di
rected other inquiries to Presnal.
Two of the other three A&M candi
dates, Dr. Duwayne M. Anderson,
associate provost for research and
graduate studies, and Dr. Donald
McDonald, provost and vice presi
dent for academic affairs, were out
of town and unable to be reached.
A&M Deputy Chancellor Eddie J.
Davis couldn’t be reached Thursday
through Wednesday.
The other four “no comment” re
sponses came from Dr. C. Roland
Haden, vice president for academic
affairs at Arizona State University;
Dr. James M. Howell, chief econo
mist for the Bank of Boston; Dr.
Robert J. Kuhne, chairman of the
Department of Management and
General Business at Hofstra Univer
sity in New York; and Dr. Simon Si-
monian, professor in the depart
ment of surgery at Hahnemann
University in Pennsylvania.
Unavailable for comment was for
mer A&M associate professor of eco
nomics James C. Miller III, director
of the federal Office of Management
and Budget, who was earlier ru
mored to be a “leading candidate”
for the position in the “Washington
Whispers” section of the March 25
issue of U.S. News and World Re
port.
A March Battalion story reported
that these rumors could not be con
firmed. Miller, who was a part of
A&M’s faculty from 1972 to 1974, is
still on the list of candidates released
by the Board.
Other candidates not reached
were Dr. William H. Hinton, chan
cellor for Houston Baptist Univer
