Cause of small plane
crash still unknown
2QUINCY, 111. — Investigators
removed 14 bodies and the
cockpit recorder Wednesday from
the wreckage of a fiery runway
crash that has raised safety ques
tions about hundreds of U.S. air
ports with no control tower to
guide pilots.
The charred bodies were left on
the runway of Baldwin Municipal
Airport overnight and removed
after investigators examined the
wreckage of Tuesday’s collision
between a United Express com
muter plane and a small private
plane.
Clues to what caused the acci
dent could come from the cockpit
voice recorder taken from the
commuter plane. Unlike a jetlin
er, it had no flight data recorder.
The private plane had neither.

part in Texaco suit

work with Clinton
4 WASHINGTON — Chosen by
Republicans for a second term
as House speaker, Newt Gingrich
said Wednesday the GOP Con
gress has an “absolute moral
obligation” to work with Presi
dent Clinton and leave the cam
paign wars behind.
In a speech following his selec

"Implementation Congress” on is
sues such as balancing the budget,
cutting taxes, attacking drugs and
improving the health care system.

U.S. Catholic official
passes away in peace
5 CHICAGO — Cardinal Joseph
Bernardin, the son of Italian
immigrants who rose to become
the nation’s senior Catholic
Church official, was mourned on
Wednesday as a man who used his
own graceful death as his last ser
mon.
His funeral Mass, before 1,300
friends, religious leaders and
politicians, followed two days of
mourning by tens of thousands of
people who filed past the casket at
Holy Name Cathedral.
“The homily of this Mass has
been given over the months of his
illness,” Monsignor Ken Velo told
mourners. “Didn’t he teach us?
Didn’t he show us the way?”
Bernardin died last week after a
17-month bout with pancreatic
cancer.
Haitian refugees may
have drowned
6PETIT-GOAVE, Haiti — At
least 290 people who set out in
a leaky sailboat with hopes of a
better life in Florida are missing
and feared drowned.
“I can’t believe God is so hard
hearted that he would let my
whole family perish,” Natasha
Chery, 35, said Wednesday in Pe
tit-Goave.
Chery has not heard from
dozens of relatives since they
sailed from Trou Chou-Chou on
Nov. 3 aboard ‘‘L’AngeGabriel,” a
63-foot motorized wooden sail
boat.
With 290 passengers aboard, the
boat stopped in Port-au-Prince
Bay, and may have taken on more
passengers before leaving for Mia
mi two days later.
