Grenades blast Easter mass
DAVAO CITY, Philippines (AP) — A Roman
Catholic cathedral packed with thousands of
faithful for an Easter Sunday Mass was rocked by
a pair of hand grenade blasts, killing at least 11
people and wounding more than 150, authorities
said.
Investigators said the first grenade exploded
at the foot of the altar of San Pedro Cathedral at
about 7:10 p.m. (6:10 a m. EST), just before the
Mass was to begin. The second blast came 40
minutes later near the main entrance where a
crowd of spectators had gathered.
Rev. Bonifacio Burlaza, secretary to the
archbishop of Davao, said there were more than
5,000 people inside the cathedral when the first
grenade exploded.
“One of our priests was about to start Mass
and he and two acolytes were walking down the
aisle towards the altar when the explosion came,'
Father Burlaza said.
The wounded were rushed to four hospitals,
and doctors appealed on the radio for blood
donations for the victims. Authorities threw up
roadblocks and attempted to seal the major
routes out of the city.
Police CpI. Armando Papa, who was at the
Davao police station when the first grenade
exploded, said he and about 50 other police
officers rushed to the church about a hundred
yards away.

From Associated Press Reports
ATLANTA — The body of a young black male was found
Sunday in the South River in southeast DeKalb County,
authorities said. The unidentified youth was the 24th young
black found dead here in the past 21 months and the second
found in the South River.
DeKalb County police spokesman Chuck Johnson con
firmed the body was that of a young black male. The discovery
marks the fifth body in the string of slayings to be found in
rivers.
ANCHORAGE — Citing a recent agreement between
Eskimo whalers and the federal government, the U.S. Justice
Department said Friday it is dropping its grand jury inves
tigation of possible violations of quotas set on endangered
bowhead whales by the International Whaling Commission.
Last month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission
signed a two-year pact giving the Eskimos much of the
responsibility for enforcing quotas and conducting the whale
census on which the quotas are based.
Space shuttle will take
giant telescope to space
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - With
help from spaceships like the
shuttle Columbia, scientists may
peer into the past and unlock
secrets now hidden in the far
reaches of the universe, says
Dr. Bruce Margon, a leading
astronomer and astrophysicist.
The key may be quasars,
Margon believes, and the key to
learning more about quasars is
the space telescope he has
played a major role in designing.
The telescope, about the size
of a DC-9 jetliner, is slated to be
put into orbit in 1985 by the
recently tested space shuttle. It
is designed to give scientists a
glimpse backward through time
by making visible parts of the
universe that are billions of
light-years away, the University
of Washington professor ex
plains.
A light-year is distance light
travels in a year — about six
trillion miles. Thus, a star viewed
from a distance of five light
years is seen as it was five years
ago.
While at the University of
Puget Sound for lectures and
discussions with undergraduate
students last month, Margon
said the the space telescope
would enable scientists to peer
into the deepest reaches of the
universe far better than any
Earth-bound device.
“The Earth’s atmosphere
blurs our vision,” he said.
“From Earth, we can only make
observations in wave lengths of
light that penetrate the Earth's
atmosphere.
