No trace of explosives
found on wreckage
1EAST MORICHES, N.Y.—
Crews used video cameras and
sonar to scan the submerged
wreckage of TWA Flight 800
where dozens of bodies may be
trapped and where clues to the
cause of the crash are likely hid
den.
Only 112 bodies have been lift
ed from the sea, including one
found today and three Tuesday,
leaving 118 still missing. Only
about 1 percent of the plane has
been recovered, and the crucial
voice and data recorders, the
plane’s so-called black boxes,
have not been found.
Federal officials acknowledge
that nothing found so far — not
wreckage or bodies — showed
traces of explosives. They contin
ued to consider the possibilities
that the plane was destroyed by a
bomb secreted on board, a missile
or catastrophic mechanical fail
ure.
Soldier prime suspect
in swastika graffiti
2FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A
black soldier is the prime sus
pect in an Army investigation
into swastikas spray painted on
the doors of black soldiers, a tele
vision station reported.
The Army Special Operations
Command headquarters refused
to confirm or deny the report.
The vandalism followed other
suspected hate crimes that have
damaged the Army’s reputation
at Fort Bragg, including murder
charges filed seven months ago
against two white soldiers of the
82nd Airborne Division in the
killing of two black Fayetteville
residents. A third soldier was
charged with conspiracy in the
slayings.
Cooley has yet to
contact wartime
sergeant
3PORTLAND — A month has
passed since Rep. Wes Cooley
said he hoped to clear up a con
troversy over his wartime service
by contacting his old sergeant,
Clifford Poppy.
But Poppy has yet to be con
tacted by Cooley. He thinks he
knows why.
“I don’t think he wants to face
up to the truth,” Poppy said
Tuesday in a telephone interview
from his home in Phoenix. “I
don’t want to tear anybody’s in
tegrity down, but I think he’s try
ing to steal some of mine.”
The state is investigating
whether Cooley lied when he said
in 1992 and 1994 Voters’ Pam
phlets that he served in Korea. Ly
ing in the, voters’ guide is a felony
punishable by up to five years in
prison and a $100,000 fine.
Amnesty International
reports attack on UN
4LONDON — Israeli forces de
liberately attacked a U.N.
compound in southern Lebanon
in April and killed civilians in
violation of the rules of war,
Amnesty International said in a
report released today.
A report by the United Na
tions in May said the shelling of
the compound at Qana, which
killed 91 refugees, was “unlike
ly” to have been an accident.
Israel says the shelling on
April 18 was provoked by fire
from nearby Hezbollah guerrilla
positions. Israeli officials said
their troops missed their target
and shelled the base instead.
Amnesty International, how
ever, said that “the available in
formation indicates that the Is
raeli Defense Forces
intentionally attacked the U.N.
compound."
Judge orders OHSU to
turn over videotapes
5SALEM — Oregon Health Sci
ences University has been or
dered to turn over videotapes of
experiments on rhesus monkeys
to an animal rights group.
Marion County Circuit Judge
Albin Norblad ordered the med
ical school to give the tapes to In
Defense of Animals. OHSU said it
will appeal the ruling.
The animal rights group alleges
that researchers at the Oregon Re
gional Primate Research Center of
Beaverton psychologically har
med the monkeys by isolating
them and depriving them of a key
nutrient.
Portland veterinarian Sheri
Speede, Northwest director of the
animal group, said she expects
the tapes will show monkeys mu
tilating themselves by biting their
fingers and pulling out hair, as
she said researchers described in
a 1992 scientific article.
Hemorrhoids can
cause irritation
6NEW YORK — A woman
bedridden after hemorrhoid
surgery became infuriated with
her husband for leaving her alone
while he went fishing and shot
him to death when he got home,
police said.
Gail Murphy, 46, was ordered
held without bail Tuesday on
murder and weapons possession
charges in the death of her hus
band, Edward.
Authorities said seeing him
traipse off with a cooler of beer to
spend Sunday afternoon with his
friends was too much for Mrs.
Murphy, who was obliged to re
main in bed on her stomach.
When she heard him return six
hours later, she got up, walked to
the porch with a shotgun and
fired through the door, then
called 911, police said.
Murphy, 47, died Monday
morning at Kings County Hospi
tal.Mrs. Murphy is scheduled to
appear Thursday for a hearing.
Worms are acquired
taste for Idaho’s trout
7BOISE — Trout raised in Ida
ho’s hatcheries are being sent
to school, because they don’t
know they’re supposed to enjoy
fat, slimy worms on fishermen’s
hooks.
Trout raised by the state Fish
and Game Department grow up
hooked on fishy junk food: little
green pellets made of fish meal
and vegetable protein,
“They’ve never seen a worm in
their life,” said Jeff Dillon, in
charge of the department’s trout
education project.
The agency is putting some of
its trout on shock diets, taking
away the pellets and tossing
nightcrawlers into the ponds.
