rescue victims
SALIDA, Colo. (UPI) — Jack
Lewallan and his two sons
wanted to get away from the
holiday rush and appreciate the
view from 13,000-foot high
Tincup Pass.
Lewallan, 48, of Buena Vista,
Colo., and sons Harvey and
Danny were snowmobiling
Wednesday when they thought
they heard a cry for help.
“We got up there and just
happened to shut our machines
off,” said Lewallan, a 48-year
old heavy equipment operator.
“It was snowing real hard and
we didn’t have any idea there
was anybody up there.”
The Lewallans followed the
cries and located the wreckage
of a light plane which had gone
down the night before on a
flight from Marshalltown, lowa,
to Las Vegas, Nev. All six
persons on board were injured

Thursday 100 miles west of

“It gave us a weird feeling,”
said Lewallan. “It was just
kind of weird to be up there at
the timberline with all that
snow and to find someone
yelling for help.”
Lewallan’s sons stayed with
the victims while their father
drove the snowmobile six miles
to the nearest house to use a
citizen’s band radio to call for
help.
“I tell you, it was a pretty
good way to start off the new
year. It felt good to help
them,” said Danny Lewallan,
26, who was vacationing with
his father from Winona, Kan.
“We couldn’t get our snow
mobiles in there so we had to
walk about a quarter mile in
snow up to our waist. Then we
still didn’t see the wreckage
until we got right up on it.
82 people killed in airliner
It was the first air disaster of
1976 and the first for the
privately owned airlines in 12
years.
The plane, carrying 67
passengers and a crew of 15,
was on a scheduled flight from
Beirut to the Persian Gulf state
of Dubai and Muscat.
Rescue teams from Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait rushed to
the scene by helicopter but by
nightfall had recovered only 55
“The wings were torn off,”
he said. “The only part of the
plane you could recognize was
the fuselage and it was upside
down and wrapped around a
pine tree.”
A spokesman at Salida
Hospital said the six victims
were resting comfortably today.
They were identified as Ed
Boston, 33, of Marshalltown;
his wife, Joanne; his brother,
Dale; sister-in-law, Deanna, of
Haverhill, lowa,; and Mr. and
Mrs. Clyde Coulthard of Mar
shalltown.
“The plane refueled in

sheriff Ernie Morgan. “En
route to Las Vegas they

remained trapped in the tail
section of the plane that split
into three parts on impact.
The MEA spokesman said the
rest of the bodies would be
recovered by a team of
Lebanese investigators sent to
the crash crash site today to
try to determine the cause of
the air disaster.
Among the passengers were
four Britons, six Greeks, one
Norwegian, one Cypriot and 11
children. Most of the other
passengers were Lebanese,
Jordanian or Egyptians. There
were no Americans aboard. The
three pilots and 12 cabin
attendants were Lebanese.
Flight 438 was supposed to
have left Beirut Airport
Wednesday night but mechani

jumbo jet forced a nine-hour
delay and the substitution of
the Boeing 720, an MEA
spokesman said.

minutes later while crossing
from Saudi Arabia into the

neutral zone at an altitude of
20,000 feet.
Radio contact had been lost
moments before.

ATHENS, Ga. — Veterinary researchers at the University of Georgia think poultry
vaccination has been given a “shot in the arm” with the development of a spray technique.
Dr. Caswell Eidson sprays chicks to protect them against virus diseases, such as Marek’s
disease which once cost Georgia poultry farmers more than S2B million per year. The
method makes it possible to vaccinate many chickens at one time as opposed to administer
ing individual injections. (UPI)
Mamie Eisenhower

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Mamie Eisenhower was in a
hospital today for the third
time within a year but was
reported responding well to
treatment for what doctors
thought was a viral infection.
“She’s doing okay,” one
medical source told UPI.
The widow of President

Woman wins
huge reward
By PAMELA HUEY
United Press International
Wanted by federal au
thorities: Mrs. George Beutner,
|2,000 reward.
But in Mrs. Beutner’s case,
she gets the reward.
The news media got to her
before the government to
inform her she had the money
coming from a contest she had
entered “three or four years
ago.”
She said she had no definite
plans as to how to spend the
money because there are
“20,000 different ways.”
She was one of 16 persons the
government has tried to reach
to inform them they have
prizes coming from a contest
that was rejudged following
intervention of the Federal
Trade Commission.
Mrs. Beutner and her family,
including four children, entered
a contest sponsored by the
Lorillard Co., in which contest
ants were to make as many
words as possible from the
letters contained in the phrase:
“Kent Micronite filter cigaret
tes.” The Beutner entry had
22,000 words.
“It took us months to do,”
she said of the contest project.
“We read the dictionary for
months. It was mostly a fun
project."
“Every night and on Satur
day and Sundays we would try
to think of new words,” she
added. “We’re not television
fans so we did that instead.”
She said she never heard
from the Lorillard Co. following
the contest and assumed she
had lost.

Angola forces
appeal to U. S.
By RAYMOND WILKINSON
SILVA PORTO, Angola (UPI)
— Pro-Western forces battling
Soviet-backed rivals for su
premacy in Angola have
appealed to the United States to
restore the military aid cut off
by the Senate two weeks ago.
Officials of the National
Union for the Total Independ
ence of Angola and the National
Front for the Liberation of
Angola concluded a New Year’s
review of the year-long civil
war with a call for the Senate
to reverse its decision.
The Senate, fearing the
United States might be drawn
into a Vietnam-like war in
Africa, voted to cut off covert
aid to the pro-Western forces in
the former Portuguese colony.
Jorge Sangumba, an official
of the Union for the Total
Independence of Angola, said
Western nations were unrelia
ble friends.
“Many African diplomats
have told us that it is now safer
to identify with the USSR
because when you expect
Western nations to help, they
don’t,” he said.
“The United States is just
waking up to the Russian threat
in this part of the world. We
are still hopeful that President
Ford and Congress will see the
writing on the wall before it is
too late.”
The Organization for African
Unity has scheduled an emer
gency conference in Ethiopia
Jan. 10 in an effort to reconcile
the Soviet-backed Popular
Movement for the Liberation of
Angola with its two rivals.
At the same time, the
Popular Movement is believed
