UNITED NATIONS (AP) -
Arab League envoys flew to Libya
on Tuesday to meet Col. Moam-
mar Gadhafi and try to work out
the surrender of the two Libyan
suspects in the Pan Am Flight 103
bombing.
The Security Council's presi
dent said he expected swift deliv
ery of the two Libyans for trial in
the United States or Britain. The
United States contended Libya
was only stalling.
The Arab League group that
went to Libya consisted of league
secretary-general Esmat Abdel-
Maguid of Egypt and envoys from
Syria, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Alge
ria, Morocco and Mauritania.
Libya offered on Monda'y to
turn the suspects over to the Arab
League. Its plan was an attempt to
avoid a new Security Council res
olution imposing an arms embar-
Arab League expects release
of Pan Am bombing suspects
go, cutting off its air routes and
urging other countries to eject
most Libyan diplomats.
The offer won Libya a brief
respite from council action, diplo
mats said.
U.S. Ambassador Thomas R.
Pickering said he will renew his
push to have the council adopt the
resolution by the end of the week
if the Libyans are not extradited.
He said the Libyan offer "seems to
be more of a stall than a compli
ance."
He said Libya still has to com
ply with the French request, pro
vide all the evidence it has on the
bombings, end its support of ter
rorism and promise to compen
sate the families of victims.
At the White House, press sec
retary Marlin Fitzwater said Tues
day that "We still think the case
should be prosecuted under the
judicial procedures we set up in
our original indictment."
Asked whether there are any
positive benefits to Libya's offer,
Fitzwater said "At the moment it's
questionable."
Diplomats stressed Tuesday
they had no news of the surrender
of the two suspects, Abdel Basset
Ali Megrahi, 39 and Lamen Khali
fa Fhimah, 35. They also said there
had been no written confirmation
from Libya that it would turn the
men over, as Libya's U.N. ambas
sador pledged Monday.

Teen finds baby, slain woman
HOUSTON (AP) — A baby was found Tuesday
crying and clutching the nude body of a woman
whose throat had been slashed and index finger
chopped off, police said.
Police spokeswoman Sharon Thornton said the
body of the unidentified Hispanic woman was found
lying on the porch of an abandoned building about 7
a.m. Investigators had not yet determined if she was
the baby's mother.
A teen-ager on her way to school told police she
heard the baby crying and checked the area, which is
across the street from an elementary school in north
east Houston.
The baby, clad only in a diaper, was believed to
be about a year old. She had some scratches on her
face, but was listed in fair condition Tuesday at Texas
Children's Hospital.
"It does not appear she was injured," Thornton
said. "She did have blood on her, but we heard she
was fine. She apparently had just been playing."
Police were questioning a white man who fled the
area in a car, but Thornton said there have been no
charges filed in the case.
"He did have some blood on him, but no one has
been charged," she said.
Rachel Navarro, who lives in the area, said the in
cident did not surprise her because of a growing
crime problem in the area.
"Everyday there's something like this happening
in this area," she said.
Police believe the woman's body was dumped in
the area since she was not known to residents in the
neighborhood. A bloodstained car also was found in
the area.
The woman's throat apparently was slashed from
ear to ear and she suffered multiple stab wounds.

S. Korean governing party stumbles
!St!i
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -
President Roh Tae-woo's govern
ing party may lose its parliamen
tary majority
in balloting to
day, KSB tele
vision said.
The vote
was seen as a
referendum on
Roh's conser
vative govern
ment, which
opponents
charge with
economic mis
management
and slow democratic reforms.
With more than 50 percent of
the votes counted. Democratic
Roh Tae-woo
Liberal Party candidates were
leading in 117 of the 237 districts
— two seats short of a majority in
the National Assembly, KBS said.
Candidates from Kim Dae-
jung's main opposition party were
ahead in 77 districts and million
aire businessman Chung Ju-
yung's new party had 20 candi
dates winning, the television re
port said.
"Whether the ruling party
would take a parliamentary ma
jority has been thrown into
doubt," the national news agency
Yonhap said.
Early returns had shown Roh's
party leading in 138 of the single
member districts.
Roh cannot be re-elected when
his term runs out in February, but
his party had hoped to win
enough seats to keep its current
majority into this fall's presiden
tial race.
A total of 1,048 candidates
were vying for 237 seats to be de
cided by direct vote today.
In addition, 62 seats were to
be filled by national nominees
based on each party's percentage
of votes.
Election officials said at least
70.8 percent of the 29 million eligi
ble voters cast ballots, the lowest
turnout for a general election in
Korean history.
In the past, a lighter turnout
has tended to help the governing
party.

NTSB links de-icing fluid to jet crasl
Cold-weather protectant lasts only five minutes, experts
NEW YORK (AP) — The de-icing fluid where the snow was falling at about 1.5 inches ing Bay.
sai
NEW YORK (AP) - The de-icing fluid
used on a USAir jet half an hour before it
crashed in a snowstorm normally protects
against ice for just five minutes, experts said
Tuesday.
The pilot, who was among the 27 people
killed in Sunday night's crash, had the plane
de-iced with a fluid known as Type 1 about 35
minutes before takeoff.
"The fluids that would be used at La
Guardia or by USAir just won't last that long,"
said Richard Adams, a retired Federal Avia
tion Administration official whose expertise is
aircraft icing.
"In a snowstorm similar to La Guardia,
where the snow was falling at about 1.5 inches
an hour, probably the fluid would not have
lasted and it would have had to be rede-iced,"
agreed Gary Bradley, who chairs a profession
al engineering committee on aircraft icing.
Another cold-weather protectant for air
planes, known as Type 2, prevents the forma
tion of ice for at least 30 minutes.
National Transportation Safety Board in
vestigators said de-icing was one of many fac
tors they were looking at as a cause of the
crash.
Twenty-four people survived the crash of
Flight 405. The plane crashed at the end of the
runway during takeoff and skidded into Flush
ing Bay.
The medical examiner's office said lues;
that 18 people died of drowning. Fourifi
