Authorities foil Trenton escape By MIKE AVENENTI TRENTON, N.J. (UPI) - Authorities foiled an escape attempt and regained control of Wing Seven at Trenton State Prison today after a two-hour disturbance. An inmate who tried to shoot his way out of the walled fortress and flee in a waiting van was killed. Three prison guards were wounded and another prisoner was shot during a five-minute gun battle at the maximum security prison that touched off an 11-hour disturbance. One of the wounded guards was hit by a homemade bomb. After ordering 120 inmates in three tiers to strip naked and leave their cells, authorities began tearing apart the cells in a search for weapons believed smuggled into the prison for the escape attempt.

A prison official said the dead inmate, John Clark, 30, of Newark, N.J. who was serving a life sentence for the killing of a policeman in 1973, had tried twice before to break out of the prison. In his latest attempt last year, Clark dug a tunnel underneath the prison hospital, but his passageway was discov ered and he was caught. State police said they learned during the disturbance that a van was parked near the prison in a residential nighborhood. They said they planned to search the van for weapons after obtaining a warrant. Prison officials believed the inmates had at least three hand guns and a home-made bomb. The weapons could have been smuggled into the maximum security wing during visits by friends and relatives, according to police. State police said they be lieved several inmates were involved in the breakout be cause other shots were fired by inmates after Clark was killed. He was shot five times, a spokesman said. At a 7 a.m. news briefing on the front steps of the prison, Institutions and Agencies Com missioner Ann Klein and other officials said there were no injuries other than those wounded in the shootout and no major damage during the incident. “It was just a break-out attempt," a state police official said. The disturbance broke out shortly after 8 o’clock Monday evening and guards had the inmates back in their cells about two hours later. Red soda pop may never be the same By MICHAEL J. CONLON WASHINGTON (UPI) - Red soda pop may never be the same again, and some other foods may wind up looking strange as a result of the government’s ban on Red Dye No. 2. But the cosmetics industry says lipstick will be as red as ever because it has already found substitutes and has virtually phased out use of the controversial dye. The Food and Drug Adminis tration banned the dye from foods, drugs and cosmetics Monday because its cancer causing potential has not been proven and new studies have raised additional questions as to its safety. The FDA ruled out a recall of existing products, however, in the absence of evidence estab lishing a definite hazard. H ■ I ■B F'» * Fl'i I I ■ jEKuflg ATLANTA—Virginia H. Knauer (r), President Gerald Ford’s Special Assistant for Consumer Affairs, said yesterday a “consumer advocacy office” would be handicapped because it would become involved only after decisions affecting the consumer had been made, and defended Ford’s veto of the proposed Consumer Protection Agency. Kathy L. Moore (1), Chairperson of the Student Consumer Action Union of the University of North Carolina, spoke in behalf of consumers. (UPI) The National Soft Drink Association said the dye is currently being used in orange, grape, strawberry and cherry pop, which together account for 5 to 6 per cent of the $7.8 billion annual wholesale soft drink business. A spokesman for the associa tion said a “truly satisfactory subsitute” for Red 2 has never been found and “it’s going to be Red dye banned by FDA NEW YORK (UPI) - Many manufacturers have eliminated Red Dye No. 2, the coloring agent banned by the Food and Drug Administration, but some gelatin desserts, beverages mixes and drugs now on the market contain the dye. The FDA move Monday, ir— Defends veto troublesome — you don’t get the same shade with Red No. 40 (a currently available sub stitute) and it doesn’t mix as well.” Cola drinks, which account for about 60 per cent of all such beverages sold, are not affec ted. General Foods said it moved promptly last week to shift to substitutes. It said there are which capped a 15-year debate over the dye’s safety, had been anticipated by manufacturers of drugs, cosmetics and food. They began substituting other coloring agents up to four years ago. The dye is used in an estimated $lO billion worth of food every year. General Foods, which a week ago shifted to another coloring for its few remaining products containing the dye, said some flavors of Kool-Aid and certain fruit-flavored Jell-O desserts now on the market contain red No. 2. The dye also was used in the company’s Gaines pet food, both dry and moist. “There is no evidence the Eastern makes 51.7 million in settlements CHARLESTON, S.C. (UPI) - Eastern Airlines has made out of-court settlements thus far amounting to $1.7 million in connection with suits stemming from a 1974 crash near Charlotte, N.C. The lastest settlement of $450,000, agreed to Monday, was paid to the family of William Johnson Jr. The total amount involves payments to four families of persons killed in the crash. Seventy-two persons were killed in the crash Sept. 11, 1974, when the plane plowed into a cornfield more than three miles short of the runway at Douglas Municipal Airport. The only one of the four suits filed here to go to trial was filed by the family of Frank Ford. The jury awarded the Fords $550,000. That verdict was returned last Wednesday but not announced until Monday after the other three cases were settled. The airline settled with the other two families late last week, agreeing to a payment of $315,000 to the family of George Carswell and $480,000 to the family of Navy Capt. Felix Veccihone. Eastern Airlines admitted liability in connection with the four suits in return for promises the families would not sue for punitive damages. The only question was how much the families should receive in compensatory dama ges. Compensatory damages cover only actual damages such as the loss of the victim’s income. Punitive damages are awarded to punish wrongdoing. U.S. District Judge James B. McMillan has ordered the airline to tell attorneys for 14 plaintiffs who have filed suit in Charlotte why it fired James M. Daniels, the co-pilot who was flying the plane when it crashed.

The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association Inc. said Red 2 has become only a “minor interest” to it because manufacturers, including those who turn out lipstick, have shifted to other dyes. food containing red No. 2 is unsafe,” said a General Foods spokesman. “Thus the public can continue to use products now in distribution with com plete confidence.” Kraftco said it eliminated red No. 2 four years ago and substituted red dye No. 40 and paprika in its Kraft salad dressings and barbecue sauce. “The new coloring agents are somewhat more expensive and not as effective since they fade,” a spokesman said. Revlon eliminated the dye from all its products over two years ago, a spokeswoman said. Bristol-Myers, one of the nation’s largest drug com panies, said Red No. 2 still is used for color coding in some drugs.

Meldrim Thomson of New Hampshire is demanding $375,000 damages for libel from newsman Kevin Cash, author of the book “Who the Hell is William Loeb?” A suit filed in Hillsborough County Superior Court alleges Cash libeled the governor by stating he “took with him certain accounts” of a law book publishing firm for which he had worked, when Thomson moved to New Hampshire to found his own publishing company. Thomson, whose name appears in Cash’s book about the life of William Loeb, publisher of the Manchester Union Leader, said the book libeled him, held him up to public scorn and ridicule and injured his personal good name and professional reputation.

Young warns on arms ATLANTA (UPI) — Weapons sent to either side in the Angolan civil war will one day be pointed at American allies in South Africa, Rep. Andrew Young, D-Ga., said Monday. Young, a black minister long active in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told the Atlanta press club many African nations have ordered the Soviets to leave after accepting arms from them in a civil war for independence. “The only way the Russians can stay there is if they’re needed to supply arms,” said Young. “Once the fighting stops, and the Soviets are no longer needed to supply arms, the Russians are asked to leave.”
