Show Sunday. November Airline Jet, Small Private Plane Have Near Collision - (LTD A Western Airlines jet with persons aboard came within 100 feet of colliding with a small private plane last week in an incident strikingly similar to a collision a year ago that killed 137 people. The two planes came so close that the pilot of the smaller craft suddenly looked out his window and "saw this big red W" fill the entire plate glass "as it whipped on by." The "W" is the logo Western paints on its jets. The Federal Aviation Adminstration in Washington said it is investigating the near miss between the Western 72? jetliner and small Aero SAN DIEGO cident" with controllers immediately after the incident "blaming the controllers for allowing the planes to get that close." The Western flight originated in Los Angeles and was making an approach to Lindberg Field. The Aero Commander had taken off from Montgomery Commander. FAA spokesman Fred Farrar said if preliminary reports are true the incident bears a striking similarity, both in the aircraft involved and location, to the collision between a Pacific Southwest Airlines 727 and a small Cessna on Sept. 25, 1978. All 137 people aboard both planes and seven people on the ground were killed in a fiery rain of debris in a residential neighorhood of San Diego's North Park area. The near-mis- s occurred last Friday night at 4,400 feet, somewhere between Mission Bay and El but both pilots could not agree on the exact location, an FAA spokesman said. Preliminary reports said the pilot of the jetliner Field. Because of the 1978 air crash, the FAA authorized new radar equipment for the San Diego control tower, called a Terminal Control Area, which is designed to keep planes further apart. But the equipment has not yet been installed because of protests from general aviation pilots. FAA officials refused to speculate on whether such equipment would have prevented last Friday's near-misand said it would be a month to six weeks before its investigation report is released. Ca-jo- s, 'Fountain of Youth' Close? - NEW YORK (UPI) Scientists hunting for the fountain of youth may soon find it in "lifespan cy," he said. "Elderly Americans who work, produce for the economy and pay taxes will help us salvage much of the expense and wasted resources we now assume are inevitable with an aging population." Cranston, a member of the Senate health and scientific research subcommittee, said his insider information comes from research scientists who participate in informal forums in his office in the technologies" that stretch middle age health and vigor to age 80 and beyond. Science fiction? Not so, said Sen. Alan D. Cranston, D. Calif., Friday at the Albert Lasker Medical Research Awards luncheon. Cranston said such a promise could be filled as the result of investigators tinkering with the chemistry of life, genes, and tracking after other cell secrets. "Researchers across the county are closing in on the disease of aging by pursuing strong leads in immunology, neural and endocrine mechanisms, "What I have heard is astonishing to a layman," he said. "I suppose many scientists, too, would be surprised to learn how quickly we are assembling pieces to a very fundamental puzzle." The senator said he is convinced "we are on the verge of major advances in what we know about the biomedical mechanisms of aging."
