Viet orphans arrive
for new life in U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
' The 52 Vietnamese orphans who
escaped the horrors of war
because of a defiant airline
I captain, began the American
way of life today in an gaily
decorated Army Reserve bar
racks in the shadow of the
• Golden Gate Bridge.
The children, ranging in age
from three months to eight
years, arrived late Wednesday
r * night at Oakland International
Airport in a World Airways
cargo jet after a flight which
lasted 16 hours and 53 minutes.
They peered from the small
windows at the hundreds of
persons on hand.
• Tired and confused, they
were taken by bus to the 6th
Army Headquarters in The
Presidio here for medical
examinations and adoption pro
cessing. They were waiting to
meet the American families
I which previously adopted them.
They were here mainly
because of Capt. Ken Healy
who had been ordered by
■ Saigon air traffic controllers
not to take off in the DCB.
“Just watch me,” Healy said
he radioed to the controllers
| just before gunning his craft.
Capt. William Keating, who
also made the flight, explained
at a news conference in
Oakland: “We were instructed
to hold our position by ground
control. We ignored that. We
taxied down the runway and
took off.”
But some 500 other orphans
■ were not so lucky. They were
left behind because of govern
ment decisions that the
! Wreck
kills
; seven
TIFTON, Ga. (UPI) - The
Georgia State Patrol continued
its investigation Wednesday
into a collision between a truck
and a station wagon that killed
seven members of a family on
Interstate 75 south of here.
A State Patrol spokesman
said the truck driver, Byrd
Levarn Hutchinson, 38, of
Fitzgerald, Ga. was charged
' with following too close and
driving with an improper
license.
“The investigation is not
complete yet,” said the spokes
man. “They’re still working on
it, but that’s all the charges I
know of at this time.”
The spokesman said Hutchin
son escaped with minor in
juries.
He said it had been deter
mined the truck slammed into
the rear of the 1961 model
station wagon, which was
traveling at a slow rate of
speed, shoving it 400-500 feet
down the road and driving it
into a ditch.
The victims were identified
as Woodrow Edwards, about 60,
of Tryon, N.C.; his wife, Della
Edwards, 53, of Tryon; their
son, Samuel Edwards, 40, of
Hendersonville, N.C.; their
daughter, Martha Edwards
Mitchell, 32, of Homestead,
Fla.; and three of her children,
Carolyn, 12, Audrey, 11, and
Johnny, 9, ail of Homestead.
“stretch” DCB was not safe
enough and that the children
were not strong enough to
make the 6,993-mile trip.
For two others the trip did
prove to be too much. They
were removed from the plane
during a refueling stop at
Yokota, Japan, and hospitalized
because they were ill.
What was the plane like for
the successful 52 youngsters?
“It was one great, big
playpen,” Keating said.
Adoption officials said here
that it was hoped 2,000 orphans
could be airlifted from Saigon
within 48 hours. But a World
Airways spokesman said, “We
think it may be too late to
bring more children out.”
For flight attendant Jan
Wollett it was a frustrating
experience.
“There are tens of thousands
of children who want to get out
of Vietnam, but the government
bureaucracy won’t let them,”
she told reporters.
World Airways officials in
Saigon said a representative of
the U.S. Agency for Internation
al Development decided the
DCB did not have enough seats
or safety equipment to tran-

sport the children.
The plane had just been
removed from the Saigon to
Phnom Penh rice airlift. It was
converted by adding mattress
es, blankets and safety web
bing.
In Saigon, World Airways
President Edward B. Daly, who
supervised the last evcuation
flight out of Da Nang, said the
aircraft was completely safe.
“This aircraft was certified by
the Federal Aviation Adminis
tration. When we put the
rigging in, it’s 20 to 30 per cent
safer than normal seating.”
Also aboard the mercy flight
were 37 adults including doctors
and nurses.
Volunteer pediatricians and
nurses were at Harmon Hall in
The Presidio to tend the
youngsters. An Army mobile
unit was set up to provide food
for them. And a hall was filled
with mattresses on the floor.
Bed frames were not used for
fear that the orphans might
fall.
The children successful in the
flight were under the sponsor
ship of Friends of Vietnamese
Children, a Denver, Colo.,
based organization.
World shaking news: Fischer out of title
AMSTERDAM (UPI) — The
International Chess Federation
today stripped American cham
pion Bobby Fischer of his title
and gave it to Anatoly Karpov
of the Soviet Union.
Karpov, the official challen
ger, won the title by default
because Fischer refused to play
him on the federation’s terms.
Fischer had submitted a set of
proposed rules changes, but the
federation accepted it only in

part.
Fischer had been given until
6 a.m. EDT today to decide
whether to play the 23-year-old
Soviet grandmaster. A previous
deadline had run out 27 hours
earlier, but was extended.
The federation today said its
president, Max Euwe, “not
having received a cable from
Mr. Fischer, had to declare the
world champion not availa
ble...”
It was the second time since
world chess was organized that
the championship was passed
on without a single move being
made on the chessboard.
In 1946 then-champion Alex
ander Alekhine of the Soviet
Union died and the title
automatically reverted back to
the previous holder —Euwe,
now the chess federation
president.
Under federation rules, Kar-

pov, 25, now will play a new
challenger in 1978.
It could be Fischer, since the
challenger will be the winner of
a candidate’s tournament which
Fischer is free to enter.
The Fischer-Karpov title
match was to have been played
in Manila, the Philippines, in
June.
Also at stake was a record $5
million world championship
purse —53,125,000 to the winner
—offered by the Philippine
government.
The purse is second in sports
history only to the $lO million
shared by boxers Muhammad
Ali and George Foreman at
their championship fight in
Zaire last year.
Fischer let the original
deadline of 3 a.m. EDT
Wednesday pass without an
swering the federation from his
South Pasadena, Calif., home.
Chess officials didn’t really
expect a reply. Fischer, 32, had
steadfastly refused to play
under the rules set down by the
federation.
