members of the Avianca jetliner that crashed on Long Island, a
medical examiner says. The jetliner crashed Jan. 25 in Cove Neck,

spying for the Soviet Union, was formally suspended Wednesday and
stripped of his $80,000 annual salary, the State Department
announced. Deputy spokesman Richard Boucher said the department
also is proposing to fire Bloch. The moves were the latest chapter in a
saga than began eight months ago when Bloch, 54, was placed on
administrative leave with pay after he reportedly had been
videotaped passing a suitcase to a Soviet agent in Paris. Boucher
refused to provide details of the action taken Wednesday. The
suspension took effect at the close of business Wednesday.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP): Stingray: man’s best friend?
A man claims he rode 450 miles on the back of a stingray to safety
after his boat capsized three weeks ago, a radio station reported
Wednesday. According to Radio Vanuatu, 18-year-old Lottie Stevens
washed up Wednesday in New Caledonia. Apparently, Stevens’ boat
capsized Jan. 15 off the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, while he and
a friend were fishing. The friend died, and after four days spent
drifting with the overturned boat, Stevens derided to try to swim to
safety, Radio Vanuatu reported. It was then that a stingray came to
Stevens’ rescue and carried him on its back for 13 days and nights to
New Caledonia, the radio said. The report, which could not be
confirmed, said Stevens was weak and recovering in a hospital.
MOSCOW (AP): Soviets agree to multiparty system.
The Communist Party agreed to allow alternative political parties to
compete for control of the Soviet Union Wednesday. The derision by
the party’s Central Committee to give up the Communists’
constitutional monopoly on power was a triumph of political
maneuvering by President Mikhail Gorbachev. He packed the
meeting of the 249-member body with more than 700 other officials,
many of them progressives who took the floor to demand radical
reform.“Article 6 will no longer be, there will be a multiparty system.
There will be a normal democracy," Svyatoslav Fyodorov said,
referring to the article in the Soviet Constitution that guarantees the
Communists a leading role.
LEBANON (AP): Hospitals ailing in war-torn Beirut.
Scores of people wounded in nine days of war between Lebanon’s
main Christian armies are dying in hospitals that have no power and
little blood, medicine or clean water, police said Wednesday. They
said 365 people had been killed and 1,682 wounded since the battle
for supremacy began Jan. 30 between nearly 20,000 soldiers
commanded by rebel Gen. Michel Aoun and the Lebanese Forces
militia of Samir Geagea, which has about 6,000 regulars and an
estimated 30,000 reservists.

Home Ec college’s new high-tech lab
meets increase in industry standards
By J O. SQUILLANTE
Contofcut»ng Wnter
A high-tech industrial food labo
ratory in Dawson Hall was ded
icated to the University
Wednesday in front of a crowd of
about 150 students, faculty mem
bers, University officials and busi
ness representatives.
Emil v Pou, dean of the College of
Home Economics, said the new lab
will help the University move to
the forefront of hotel and restau
rant administration education.
Equipment for the industrial
kitchen, including a state-of-the-
art combination oven, was donated
by Hobart Corp., KDR and Asso
ciates, Growen Industries, Keating
Manufacturers, Low-Temp Indus
tries, Atlanta Gas-light and
Georgia Power Co. The donated
equipment is valued at more than
$40,000.
At the ceremony, University
President Charles Kriapp formally
thanked representatives of these
companies who were present.
The donations of private indi
viduals and companies, in addition
to state support, will help provide
the margin of excellence the Uni
versity needs to compete with
other public and private institu
tions," he said.
Senior Natalie Nuce, a dietetics
major, said the college needed an
industrial kitchen to help the 140
hotel and restaurant majors at the
University prepare for careers in
the hospitality industry.
“Before, all we had were resi
dential kitchens which cannot
begin to compare with the equip
ment of a real restaurant or hotel
kitchen," she said. “But now hotel
restaurant administration and di
etetics majors will get valuable
hands on experience right in the
home-ec building."
Pou said the new laboratory is
cause for great celebration for the
college and the University.
Andy Devine, chairman of hotel
restaurant and institutional man
agement at Pennslyvania State
University, addressed the crowd
and said the advancement of hospi
tality industry education is imper
ative, as the hotel and food service
industries emerge as giants in na
tional economics.
Devine said the average Amer
ican eats out four times a week and
41 percent of his food budget is
spent in the food service industry.
This demand puts great responsi
bility on food businesses to effecti
vely handle quality-control and
business planning.
“We need to get a supply of quality
people in the hospitality business
who can research problems like
food safety and waste manage
ment,” he said.
Honecker accused
of state corruption
The Associated Press
EAST BERLIN— Erich Hon
ecker was sometimes generous
enough to buy his fellow East Ger
mans bananas for Christmas, but
prosecutors say the former Com
munist leader ran a thoroughly
corrupt state where officials even
stooped to stealing money from pri
vate mail.
The allegations, the most thor
ough to date of corruption under
Honecker’s rule, were made
Wednesday by East Germany’s
deputy chief prosecutor, Lothar
Reuter.
Reuter said that during 40 years
of Communist rule, corruption was
rampant but that prosecutors
working across the nation still
have not uncovered all the details.
Honecker kept a private account
that on any given day contained
about $60 million, Reuter said,
most of it supplied by a former offi
cial accused of arranging illegal
arms exports.
Honecker used $454,000 from
such an account to buy a pocket
watch once owned by Vladimir
Lenin, Reuter alleged.
The former leader, ousted in the
fall pro-democracy movement, also
apparently had his generous side.
Sometimes just before
Christmas, he would “bless the
people” by arranging purchases of
bananas, nearly non-existent in
East Germany. Reuter charged
that at such moments, Honecker
was trying to play “Santa Claus of
the nation” even while Communist
officials were bilking the country.
Reuter read off a list of the ex
travagances and corrupt activities
allegedly committed by Commu
nist Party officials during Hon
ecker’s 18-year rule.
He said leading officers of the
state security service stole
Western currency sent through the
mail to East German citizens from
West German friends and rela
tives. In the Inst three years alone,
more than $4 million was spirited
away in this fashion, he alleged.
Honecker, 77, was ousted onOct.
