Scotland Yard alerted police throughout Britain to check ship, rail and air terminals for signs of the missing bullion and the six gunmen who robbed a top security depot near London's Heathrow Airport on Saturday. But a Yard spokesman said detectives had no new clues to the whereabouts of the robbers or the 6,800 gold bars. The gold, stolen along with $150,000 worth of cut and uncut diamonds, was destin ed for shipment to the Far East. Cmdr. Frank Cater, head of the Yard's Flying Squad robberv divi sion, told reporters that each gold bar was marked with a refiner's stamp and an individual number, making it likely the robbers would try to melt it down. A source close to the investiga tion told The Associated Press it would be "relatively easy" to smuggle the gold abroad from a secluded point along the British coast. If stacked, the gold bars, weighing between 1.1 pounds and 3.3 pounds each, would occupy a space 6 feet 3 feet by 2 feet — about the size of a twin bed. A $3 million reward has been posted by insurers. The gunmen, wearing ski masks, broke into the Brinks-Mat warehouse at Hounslow industrial park near Heathrow, about 15 miles west of London, sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Saturday (1:30 a.m. and 3:15 a.m. EST). They handcuffed all six security guards on duty, pistol-whipped one and doused another with gasoline and threatened to set him on fire, police said. The guards were treated at a hospital but were not badly hurt. A police spokesman said the guards actually saw only three gunmen, but they heard other voices and sounds in the background indicating that six robbers were involved. Police would not say how the gunmen evaded alarms and closed-circuit television cameras to gain entrance to the top security warehouse. But the spokesman said, "We're not ex cluding the possibility it was an in side job.'' Officials said Sunday that about 12 hours after the gold robbery, thieves tried to break into a British customs warehouse at Heathrow. Press Association, the British domestic news agency, reported without attribution that $37.5 million worth of confiscated heroin and cocaine was stored in the building. 183 killed in air crash MADRID, Spain (AP) — Stunned relatives filed past rows of charred remains Sunday, seeking loved ones among the 183 people killed in the fiery crash of a Colombian Boeing 747. The crash was one of the 10 worst in aviation history. The Avianca Airlines flight from Paris to Bogota crashed and ex ploded in a hilly area five miles east of Madrid's airport shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday. Airport officials said the jumbo jet carried 170 passengers, 20 working crew members and four airline workers who were not on duty. Only 11 of the 194 people aboard survived the impact and inferno, and four of them were in very serious condition, the of ficials said. Avianca officials said the plane, rented from Scandinavian Airlines System, had scheduled stops in Madrid and Caracas, Venezuela, and that many of those aboard were French and German citizens. It was not immediately known if there were any U.S. citizens aboard. Among those reported dead was Peruvian poet Manuel Scorza — considered one of Latin America's best writers. He was on his way to a conference in Bogota. There were unconfirmed reports that one of the plane's four engines caught fire before it plunged to earth at 1:04 a.m. (7:04 p.m. EST Saturday), but Transpor tation Minister Enrique Baron said 747s can land with two engines, especially when they are so close to an airport. "It was like I was in another world," said passenger Carmen Novoa de Gorlich, 31, of Venezuela, who escaped. Police said they found her, weeping, rushing away from the flaming wreckage and crying "747, 747." "It was all so f«st that it was im possible to explain," she said later at a hospital where she was taken for treatment of minor injuries. Novoa said the plane started to fill with smoke after the crash. "Then I saw a boy who began to break a window of the plane with his feet and I helped him. I push ed and managed to get out of the plane and began to run like a crazy person." Foul weather stalls shuttle CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — "Questionable” weather here and in Europe threatened to delay Monday's launch of Columbia with the billion-dollar Spacelab, but NASA said it would fuel the shuttle's tanks and hope that skies would be clear. The six-man crew, largest ever to fly into space together, was reported rested and ready for the 11 a.m. EST liftoff, which already has been postponed twice by technical problems. NASA described the countdown as the smoothest yet jn the shuttle program and said it would keep the clock ticking and would begin loading 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen at 5 a.m. EST Monday, hoping for a weather break. Officials said they would make another weather evaluation at 5:30 a.m. "The weather Monday is very questionable," a shuttle weather officer. Air Force Maj. Donald Greene, said Sunday. "It's touchy." Elections scheduled TOKYO (AP) — Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, under in tense criticism about political ethics in his party, is scheduled to dissolve the lower house of Parlia ment Monday and call for general elections Dec. 18. The election — six months before the expiration of the regular four-year term of the lower house — is part of a com plicated compromise that follow ed the Oct. 12 bribery conviction of former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka in the Lockheed payoff scandal. Tanaka is an influential member of Nakasone’s governing Liberal Democratic Party. Political informants said that under the compromise, the major opposition Socialist Party was to submit a no-confidence motion against Nakasone, whose party holds 286 of the 499 seats in the Diet. No actual vote was anticipated, but as part of the agreement, Nakasone's Cabinet was to meet and dissolve the Diet, setting the stage for the elections, the infor mants said. Meanwhile, the Diet's upper chamber, the House of Coun cillors, was to give final approval to tax-cut and administrative reform legislation sought by Nakasone, they said.
