The hole was caused by the drought, one engineering consultant said. The Florida Aquifer underlying central Florida, is composed of limestone caverns which fill with water. When the water table lowered, the water drained from the cavities and collapsed under the surface weight. The hole is about 400 feet wide, but engineers say it has stabilized, and hasn't shown much movement since Monday. Which is good news to the businesses perching precariously on the edge of the hole. Making the best of a bad situation were hawkers, who sold "Winter Park Sinkhole" T-shirts to the hordes of onlookers. Ogden, Utah An Air Force Thunderbird jet pilot killed over Hill Air Force Base Saturday may have had time to eject, witnesses claim. Capt. David Lee "Nick" Hauck, 34, of Mingo Junction, Ohio died when his T38 Talon experienced ex-perienced engine trouble and crashed in a field about 250 yards short of the runway. One witness said the plane's landing gear was down when it turned and headed for the runway. But he specualted that the pilot may have opted to land in a field, rather than risk dodging cars near the runway. According to the witness, Hauck had time to eject from the plane, but speculated he stayed with it to avoid injury to any of the 80,000 people attending the Thunderbird demonstration. demon-stration. A committee made up of Air Force officers is investigating the accident, and will release its finding at a later date.

He was a devout adherent of the Rastafarian sect, which reveres the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie as God, and uses marijuana as a sacrament. He is perhaps best known for his song "I Shot the Sheriff," sung by Eric Clapton. In 1971 he toured the U.S. with his group, the Wailers, then went to England, where he signed with Island Records, which proved to be his ticket to international fame. New York A columnist for the New York Daily News resigned after British sources in Northern. Ireland said his story about a Belfast riot was a complete fabrication. Reporter Michael Daly said he stood by his story, but said he could not confirm it with independent sources, and was resigning to save his paper any em-barassment. em-barassment. Daly's story reported on riots in Belfast following the death of Bobby Sands. It focused on a soldier named "Christopher Spell." British army sources said there was no record of any soldier by that name, and charged the story was totally false. Daly's editor responded that the name was a pseudonym used because the soldier did not want to be named. The English claimed the Daily News was spearheading an anti-British propaganda campaign. Washington The Reagan administration ordered or-dered Libya last Wednesday to close its embassy and withdraw all its diplomats. The action was taken because Libya and its dictator Moammer Khadafy have supported international terrorism, but State Department sources would not specify what specific incidents led to the order. or-der. The U.S. action is just one step short of a complete com-plete break of diplomatic relations. The government govern-ment warned Americans against traveling to Libya and notified 20O citizens living there that the U.S. could offer no consular assistance. In the last year, eight exiled Libyan foes of Khadafy have been murdered in Britain, Italy, and Greece. A Libyan student was shot and wounded in Colorado last year.

J' INTERNATIONAL Paris The third try proved successful for Communist-backed Socialist Francois Mitterrand, Mit-terrand, who defeated French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing Sunday in the presidential elections. Giscard d'Estaing's defeat marks the end of 23 years of conservative government and the beginning of a swing to the left in France. The 64-year-old Mitterrand was making this third bid for the presidency, and his second consecutive con-secutive race against Giscard d'Estaing. The president, 55, defeated Mitterrand in 1974. When the victory was announced, the Communist Com-munist headquarters in Paris erupted in celebration, and party leader Georges Marchais commented, "The Communist party is ready to take its place in the effort to make the changes wanted and waited for by the country." During the campaign, Marchais said he would not support a Socialist government unless Communists Com-munists were appointed to the Cabinet. But Mitterrand Mit-terrand has not committed to placing Communists Com-munists in policy-making positions. Already the focus has shifted to the upcoming June election for a new National Assembly. Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac, moving to take over leadership of the conservatives from' the defeated president, appealed for unity among the center-right parties par-ties in an attempt to hold their majority in the Assembly. Premier Raymond Barre commented that Mitterrand's election would lead to "the deterioration of the domestic and international situation in our country. " The United States sent congratulations to Mitterrand, Mit-terrand, who is expected to assume his seven-year seven-year office at the end of the month, but declined more effusive remarks. Sen. Charles Percy, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Com-mittee, said that it now is up to France to reassure the U.S. that political and trade ties will continue. On Tuesday, the Paris stock market fell sharply sharp-ly for the second day in a row in response to the political and economic uncertainty under a Socialist president. Traders reported a "near panic" atmosphere on the Paris stock exchange, where a torrent of selling orders found no buyers. But Mitterrand's campaign manager, Paul Quiles, said the market reaction was not a fair indica:o. "The stock market is not France," he said. "Without a doubt this is a temporary situation. This is the first major transition in France in 23 years. It's a new phenomenon." - : tl t : London The "Yorkshire Ripper," who admits to killing 13 women in northern England, said Tuesday at his trial that he was not mad, and would kill again "if I'm allowed out." Peter Sutcliffe, 34, told the court in his second day on the second day on the stand, said he was selected by God to kill the women because they were "the scum of the earth" and responsible for his emotional problems. He said when the urge to kill came over him, he could do nothing about it. But when asked by his lawyer if there was anything any-thing wrong with him mentally, he responded, "Nothing serious at all, no." Sutcliffe denies murdering the women, mostly prostitutes, between 1975 and 1980, but admits to manslaughter, citing diminished responsibility. He also admits to seven attempted murders. Sutcliffe was arrested Jan. 2 after one of the largest manhunts in English history. He said he waited for a sign to confess to the killings, and claims that God sent the signal through the police, and he told them all he knew. Belfast, Northern Ireland A second hunger striker died in Maze Prison Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to win political status for Irish nationalists prisoners. Francis Hughes, 25, once Northern Ireland's most wanted IRA gunman, died after 59 days without food. As news spread through the Roman Catholic sections of Belfast, women flooded the streets blowing whistles and banging trash can lids, echoing the response to the death of Bobby Sands, who died last week after a 66-day fast. Police vehicles were pelleted with stones, but no other violence was reported. In London, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher expressed ex-pressed regret at what she called a "futile death and a waste of life." Hughes had been serving a life sentence for killing a British soldier in 1978, and security sources say he may have been responsible for the death of at least 26 soldiers and policemen. Two other strikers are reportedly suffering vomiting attacks and loss of eyesight on their 52nd day of fasting at Maze prison. Another prisoner joined the protest last Saturday by refusing food. Managua, Nicaragua A peasant woman angrily charged out of a church last week after a Catholic priest refused to baptize her infant son because she wanted to name him Lenin. Mercedes Rodrigues de Picado wrote open letters let-ters to Managua newspapers charging that Rev. Lisimaco Vilchez had told her to "pick another name so I can baptize the baby." The priest apparently ap-parently told the woman that Russian revolution leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin "was a Communist, a bad man," and refused to baptize the baby. |
