Au Clair- national briefs The Morning Newt, Wilmington, DL, Wednesday, Aug. 27, 1980 Record military procurement bill passed to Carter forced the evacuation of 200 others, officials said. The leak developed about 8 a.m. at Seabrook International Foods a south Tampa seafood processor, when a plant employee tried to remove a meter on a storage tank, according to fire officials. Work may be halted WASHINGTON (AP) The Air Line Pilots Association raised the prospect yesterday of a nationwide work stoppage by the nation's 33,000 airline pilots to protest the licensing of the new stretched DC-9 Super-80 with a cockpit crew of only two instead of three.

ALPA President John J. O'Donnell said the union's board of directors would discuss a "suspension of service" against all U.S. airlines when it meets in Los Angeles in early November unless Monday's decision is reversed. Carter veto crushed WASHINGTON (AP)-Congress crushed President Carter's veto of a salary increase for doctors and dentists at veterans hospitals yes-terday, overriding the president by a unanimous vote in the Senate and a lopsided margin in the House. The Senate forced the Veterans Administration pay raise bill into law over Carter's veto by a 85-0 vote.

It came the House voted 401-5 to strike down the veto. U.S. said stalling New York Times Service WASHINGTON Leonid Brezhnev has sent a letter to President Carter and other Western leaders complaining that the United States was stalling in responding to a Soviet offer to begin preliminary talks on limiting medium-range missiles and planes in Europe, administration officials said yesterday. The officials said that the Soviet leader's message, received here yesterday, seemed to be part of a stepped-up Soviet effort to depict the United States as less interested in detente than the Soviet Union. Leak injures 24 TAMPA, Fla.

(AP) Chlorine leaking from a tank at a food processing plant yesterday injured 24 people and CwtlMMi frtm Pitt Om owner and director, had conducted the school, saying it was poorly managed and that Mazik had intentionally and falsely exaggerated what services the school offered. Former staff members also told a reporter and state investigators that Mazik had beaten children with riding crops and plastic bats, had dunked them in swimming pools, and had intimidated and verbally abused his charges. Mazik and his staff denied the accusations, saying they came from disgruntled employees. Most parents of children at the school have also supported Mazik. Mazik, who dismissed the state's initial report on the school as "the most unprofessional work" he had ever seen, hasn't been available for comment for months.

His lawyer, L. Vincent Ramunno has been his spokesman, and said yesterday "at least it is a license. We've always frankly felt that they had no choice but to give us a license. Nothing we've done should deprive us of a license. We're a reputable school." Ramunno said the only reason the state didn't grant a regular license was "they didn't want to let go." From the beginning, he said, the state didn't have any understanding of or expertise with autistic children and "we've been involved with trying to educate them about the problem, and now, maybe they'll understand more about it.

Everything seems to be proper now. Hopefully, this will put to rest everything and the school can go about doing what it has done for children." The letter to Masik announcing the state's decison to grant a provisional license was mailed Monday, but not released publicly until yesterday. Autism is believed to be a permanent brain disorder, a condition that confused the victim's understanding of his senses. Autistic children are often withdrawn and exhibit strange behavior, such as refusing to speak or rocking endlessly. "These additions to the shipbuilding program will increase the rate of modernization of the U.S.

Navy and most importantly will, through the use of existing combatant and cargo ships, put additional war-fighting potential and projection capabilities at sea soon," said Sen. John Stennis, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Among major authorizations included in the bill: $405 million for new Army helicopters, i $2.5 billion for new Navy aircraft plus another $719 million to modify existing Navy aircraft and $1.1 billion for aircraft spares and repair parts. $1.4 billion for new Air Force aircraft plus another $1.9 billion to modify existing Air Force aircraft and $2 billion for aircraft spares and repair parts. $566 million for various missiles, including 50 Navy Tomahawk cruise missiles.

$1.1 billion for two new nuclear submarines and $302 million for advance procurement of three others. WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate passed the largest military authorization bill in American history and sent it to President Carter yesterday. The vote was 78-2. The measure authorizes $52.9 billion for military procurement, research and development, civil defense and educational benefits for military personnel. This is $5.9 billion more than the Carter administration requested for these programs.

The bill also authorizes about $1 billion in increases in military compensation and benefits in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. It had been approved earlier by the House on a 360-49 vote after a short debate dominated by supporters of the compromise package. About $2.2 billion, an increase of 35 percent, was added to the president's shipbuilding program. The extra money included an additional submarine, two additional frigates and reactivation of the battleship New Jersey and aircraft carrier Oriskany.

Other additions call for procurement and modification of eight containerships. U.S. airliner hijacked Several planes have been hijacked in the past few weeks by disenchanted Cuban refugees threatening to ignite bottles of gasoline. However, Barker said, it was unclear whether the fluid used in last night's hijacking was gasoline, and there was no immediate word on whether the hijackers were Cubans. The plane, which had been due to land in Miami at about 11:59 p.m.

EDT, landed at Havana's Jose Marti airport at 12:20 a.m. EDT today, said Eastern spokesman Jim Ash-lock in Miami. Associated Press An Eastern Airlines jet bound from New York to Florida was hijacked to Cuba last night by three Spanish-speaking men carrying bottles of an unknown liquid, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said. The jet, a widebodied L-1011, took off from New York's Kennedy International Airport about 9:30 p.m. EDT with 228 passengers and 13 crew members aboard, bound for Miami, said FAA spokesman Jack Barker in Atlanta.

He said the men had yelled "Cuba, Cuba" aboard the plane. Aerial view shows where a dump truck rammed into a gasoline tanker yesterday morning on an extension of the New Jersey Turnpike over Newark Bay, causing an explosion and fire that critically burned the two drivers. Eastbound traffic on the extension from Newark to the Holland Tunnel was closed for hours.

Chesapeake Bay North: Winds will be variable at 10 knots or less Continued from Page One The authorities may never learn what happened, said is wreckage of a 40- to 50-foot wood sportsfishing boat" and the hashish, he said. There are no signs of explosion, fire or "clear evidence of a collision," Booth added. He speculated the boat may have broken up in the heavy northeasterly winds that swept the area over the weekend or been rammed by a tanker.

"A tanker master may not have known he hit something," Booth said, "unless he just happens to check the ship's bow at the next port." Even so, a collision between a 700- to 900-foot tanker and a 40- or 50-foot wooden fishing vessel might leave no evidence on the tanker's bow. Booth was also quick to point out "there's no firm evidence that the wrecked boat and the contraband are related." The hashish was packed into one-kilo cloth containers then bundled, two in a pack, in plastic. There were two seals on each kilo: one was a triangle bordered with two laurels; the other showed a horse and a man CL CY CY CL CL CL CL CL CY CL CL CL CY 100 CL 87 CL 96 CY 86 CY 73 RA 95 CY in a boxed area with what appeared to be Arabic writing on the top and bottom. A U.S. Customs agent said the markings may have been from Turkey, but definitely "were from a Middle East hash-producing country.

The lab can tell us exactly where later." The Coast Guard displayed some of the musty-smelling hash yesterday on a pool table at the Coast Guard station here. An open package revealed an oval brownish brick, about 10 inches long, about 3 inches wide and an inch thick. Booth said the debris was scattered over a six-to-eight-mile area due east of here in what fishermen call "the bass grounds." At first officials thought the contraband was brown heroin, but after testing it found it to be hashish, Booth said. Also found in the area was a plastic-covered navigation chart of the Bahama Islands and the Straits of Florida, water jugs, a light bulb, a helmsman's chair, hatch covers, an unopened beer bottle and several aluminum-backed helium balloons bearing pictures of Mickey Mouse. A Coast Guard officer speculated they could be used as radar reflectors to help locate the contraband if it were dropped in the water for a later pickup.

The search for additional hashish will continue, Booth said. However, he's not sure if there's any more of the floating cache to be found. 77 73 CL Showers Vi-4(Wr MtHtY Amsterdam Athens Belgrade Berlin Brussels Copenhagen Frankfurt Hong Kong Jerusalem Lisbon London Madrid Mexico City Montreal Moscow Paris Rio San Juan Stockholm Tokyo Toronto Vancouver Vienna Bismarck RA CL Denver Des Moines Fort Worth Indianapolis Kansas City Miami Minneapolis Nashville New Orleans New York Philadelphia Phoenik Pittsburgh Richmond St. Louis San Diego San Francisco Seattle Washington 82 CY 73 CY 79 CY 59 CY 72 RA 93 CY Figures show high temperatures lor area 95 HZ 104 CL 85 CY CY CY CL CL CL Stationary Occluded 58 CY 71 CY 94 CL 72 RA 84 CY 75 CY 62 CY 59 CY Oata from NatKMUi Weather Ser Clear-CL; Cloudy-CY; Fair-FA; Fog FG; Haze-HZ; Rain-RA; Snow-SN; Windv-WY. lottery Delaware 313.
