Authorized Reseller Unknown man kills 9, wounds 53 tourists aboard Greek cruise ship PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) — A man sprayed automatic gunfire on hun dreds of tourists aboard a cruise ship and hurled a hand grenade at the liner’s smoke stack, killing at least nine people and wounding 53, po lice said. The gunman escaped on a waiting yacht. Earlier Monday, an explosion killed two people and destroyed a car parked near a marina where the cruise ship, the City of Poros, was to dock in the Athens seaside surburb of Paleo Faliron. Police speculated the car blast and the shipboard at tack were connected. Police said 15 of the 53 injured were in serious condition. They said three people died from bullet wounds in Piraeus hospitals and six others were found dead on the deck of the cruise ship. At least three of the dead were foreigners. Many of the 570 passengers on the City of Poros were European tourists, from Sweden, Britain, Italy, France and Denmark, authorities said. The attack occurred at 8:40 p.m. as the City of Poros, on a one-day cruise, left the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf to head back to a small marina in Paleo Faliron, port police said. Passengers Jean Wogewda of Lo- rient, France, and his wife Natalie, were both wounded by the gunman. Wogewda was shot in both legs but still managed to crawl away. was thrown into the air by theim] of the bullets hitting my legs," 1ft gewda said as he lay in a Piraeusht pital. Wogewda said panic set in many passengers scattered quidl for cover. Others grabbed lifejati ets and jumped over the railing a into the water. “I was on deck when I heard auto matic fire, and I turned around and In the confusion, the gunm f boarded a small yacht that k emo pulled alongside the liner andspt away, police said. Attorneys question safety of structure at Comanche Peak It happens when you Advertise In WASHINGTON (AP) — Two at torneys representing a whistleblower who has questioned the structural safety of Comanche Peak protested Monday a settlement that would end licensing hearings for the nuclear power plant south of Fort Worth. But an attorney for 10 other whis tleblowers who agreed to an unprec edented settlement between the Citi zens Association for Sound Energy (CASE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and TU Electric ques tioned the validity of the men’s claims and defended the agreement reached last week as a “win-win ne gotiation. “These The Battalion Call 845-2697 mys are labor lawyers, not licensing lawyers, and they don’t know what their rights are,” CASE attorney Anthony Roisman said. The Kohns are fighting a portion of the settlement that would dissolve the U S. Atomic Safety and Licens ing Board and are demanding the entire settlement be made public. Portions of the agreement regarding financial compensation have not been made public. They are seeking a 60-day stay of the dissolution. They contend the board’s dissolu tion would lead to the quick licensing of the plant, which its owner, TU Electric, now projects will be ready for operation in early 1990 at a cost approaching $ 10 billion. A meeting is scheduled Wednes day in Dallas on whether to disband the licensing board and to remove CASE as the last legal intervenor. The Kohns believe their “John Doe” whistleblower will not get a fair hearing from the NRC once the atomic safety panel is disbanded. But Roisman said that is not the case, pointing out that under the set tlement, CASE president Juanita El lis will have oversite authority as an equal member of TU Electric opera tions review committee. The com mittee is charged with overseeing all corrective action and repairs for the lant to Comply with nuclear safety aw. fa National Briefs 4icha )f Sen nate uppo ibout Cur Aggie Helicopter mission for inmates fails SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A helicopter plucked two convicted murderers and a thief from a state prison yard under fire from guards Monday, but the chopper was forced down and tnose aboard were captured after an 80-mile aerial chase, officials said. The helicopter flew into the Penitentiary of New Mexico about 9:50 a.m. and picked up the three inmates, said Don Cavi- ness, a spokesman for the New Mexico Corrections Department. It flew to Los Lunas, about80 miles south of here, where it un loaded two of the inmates and took off again, said Ronni Crago, spokesman for the Bernalillo County sheriff s department. One of the inmates was wounded and captured in a gun battle at Mid-Valley Airport in Los Lunas, but the other lied on foot and was being hunted, Crago said. Court rules stamps didn’t violate law NEW ORLEANS (AP) — There’s no point in deciding whether sp>ecial stamp cancella tions during Pope John Paul II’s visit violated the separation of church and state, a federal ap peals court ruled Monday. “Because the pope’s 1987 visit is history and no other visits are planned, the appellants can es cape mootness only by showing that the Postal Service’s action is ‘capable of repetition, yet evading review,”’ the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. The ruling upheld decision in Texas against a suit filed against the San Antonio postmas ter by some residents and busi ness men in the San Antonio area. The suit filed claimed the cancellations marked a religious event, thereby supporting Roman Catholicism in violation of the First Amendment to the Consu tution. The district court denied the request for an injunction, saying that only about 10,000 stamps were likely to get the cancellation.
