At least five people were killed, 21 injured and five left missing, au thorities said. In the aftermath of the accident that rained concrete and twisted steel on one of the busiest intersections in the financial district, a prosecutor said the project’s gen eral contractor had been charged twice before with criminal negligence for accidents on Los Angeles con struction sites. Meanwhile, there were conflicting statements on what was happening before the crane fell. Fire Chief Fred Postel said it was hoisting steel beams, but the gen eral contractor said the crane was being repositioned from the 16th to the 20th floors. “It felt like an earthquake,” said Merrill Lynch Vice President Joe McLaughlin, who was in the damaged of fice building. “I looked out and saw two bodies. One construction worker’s boots were sticking up through a mass of jagged metal.” A piece of the crane at least three stories long dan gled from the side of the building under construction two hours af ter the 8:30 a.m. accident. Police ropedof( the area and ambulances rushed in and out. The street was littered with flattened cars and a man gled motorcyle. Gas was cut off to the damaged 21-ston office building for fear of an explosion. “The wreckage looks absolutely incredible — steel beams look like pickup sticks,” said Acting Mayor An gela Alioto, sitting in while Mayor Art Agnos tours the country urging tourists to return in the wake of theOct. 17 earthquake. At an afternoon news conference at the scene, Alioto said experts could not immediately determine the cause of the collapse. She also said streets in a four-square- block area would be closed for at least a week for cleanup and repairs. The California Street cable canvas also shut down. Alioto said the dead were four construction workers, all from the Seattle area, and the woman driving the school van, operated by Laidlaw Transit Inc. The fire ctiief said live people were listed as missing in the twisted steel and broken concrete. Three hospitals reported receiving 21 victims, four in serious condition. Most of the rest had minor iniu- Czech demonstrators fall silent as premier promises reforms II PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP) — Premier Ladislav Adamec promised Tuesday to include non-Commu- nists in a new government and try to end the constitutional guarantee of the party’s monopoly on power. Adamec made the pledges in a meeting with the opposition Civic Forum movement after 11 straight days of unprecedented protest in ICzechoslovakia. Millions of workers observed a two-hour general strike Monday, but the streets were quiet Tuesday because the Civic Forum lasked for calm. After the meeting, Government Minister Marian Calfa said Adamec ould submit a coalition govern- ent to President Gustav Husak by Sunday. er, party chief Karel Urbanek told 3,500 party activists in Prague the “future of the party requires giving up the monopoly of power,” the of fi cial news agency CTK reported. Urbanek, elected Friday in a ma jor reorganization of the party lead ership, said Saturday he favored a broad-based coalition government. Central Committee spokesman Josef Hora said Urbanek would visit Moscow after the U.S.-Soviet sum mit off Malta this weekend. rum spokesman Jiri Kanturek ap peared on state TV’s evening news with a 10-point statement outlining concessions made and further oppo sition demands. Two demands were for free elec tions and the resignation by Dec. 10 of Husak, a central figure in ll* crackdown on reform after the So viet-led invasion of August 1968. At a news conference, prorainet dissident Jiri Dienstbier readaleiie saying Husak’s resignation VouK calm the situation down." The Civic Forum, and the alliei Public Against Violence in Slovak also demanded immediate revisKt of the official view that the “Frag® Spring” reforms of 1968 wen worthless.

Alyssa was in critical but stable condition after a second round of surgery early Tuesday to stop bleed ing detectea within 12 hours of the Monday transplant, said Dr. Christoph Broelsch, who headed the surgical team. Alyssa’s father, John L. Smith of San Antonio, said the pre-dawn op eration caused some tense moments for him and his wife, Teresa, but that he was reassured when he saw his daughter. “I think she looked great, even with the surgery and everything, she looked great,” he said, his voice trembling. “Her eyes were kind of open and she saw me and . . . her face kind of lit up a bit.” Smith said his wife “wants to go see Alyssa. Of course she knows she can’t do it right away. Every time I go in to see her, that’s all she wants to know. She wants to hear Alyssa’s fine from me.” Alyssa was awake, active and mov ing around after the second proce dure, although still on sedation and a ventilator, Broelsch said. “The transplant is definitely func tioning, and for now, things are back on a smooth course,” he said at a mid-morning news conference at the University of Chicago Medical Cen ter. During the night, the surface of Alyssa’s new liver — about the size of a man’s fist — began to bleed, a com- Doctors question ethics behind living donations t 7 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tak ing liver segments from healthy adults and putting them into dy ing children can ease a critical shortage, but the gains cannot be justified if they come at the do nors’ expense, surgeons said Tuesday. “The major thing is what’s the risk to the donor,” said Dr. Barry Kahan, president of the Ameri can Society of Transplant Sur geons and director of transplan tation at the University of Texas at Houston, who was monitoring the nation’s first living-donor liver transplant. “Before there’s a wide applica tion of this, one would like to get an estimate of the hazard to the donor,” Kahan said Tuesday. “Certainly a high mortality rate in the donor would not give one much enthusiasm for continuing this.” Surgeons at the University of Chicago Medical Center on Mon day became the first in the coun try to perform a living-donor liver transplant. Teresa Smith, 29, a teacher from Schertz, Texas, had about a third of her liver removed and placed in to her 21-month-old daughter, Alyssa, who had been waiting more than a year for a liver from a brain-dead donor. Dr. Robert Cordon of (he Uni versity of Pittsburgh, the world's leading transplant center, said he hopes doctors are “a little more cautious about jumping into this" than they have been in the past with other medical advances. “It’s one thing to just give new medicine,” Gordon said. “It’s an other thing to subject healthy,liv ing donors to a surgical proce dure without giving careful consideration to it. If you do any harm, the negative impact would be enormous. plication that occurs in about 30 per cent of all liver transplants, said Dr. Peter Whitington, director of pediat ric transplant services for the hospi tal. She was returned to the operating room at about 4:40 a.m. CST. Doc tors corrected the problem in a few minutes, but kept her in surgery for nearly five hours of observation, Broelsch said. Doctors said Alyssa may unde® another exploratory opera’,i:| within a few days to examine new liver.
