Show Air Force Used Women In Grenada Invasion The Salt Lake Tribune, (lie Mciiacc I A3 Monday, January 27, 1986 Iti Hank Kctchain LOS ANGELES (I'Pl) The Air Force deployed women as flight crew members during the 1983 invasion of Grenada, but military officials said they did not violate federal laws barring women from combat duty, it was reported Sunday. An estimated two dozen women helped airlift troops and supplies into Grenada whMe U S. forces were still engaged in combat with Cuban forces at the Point Salines Airport, the Los Angeles Times reported. There was some hostile fire, but not in the immediate vicinity," said Maj. Gen. William Mall, who commanded the first wave of air forces to attack Grenada in the early morning hours of Oct. 25, 1983. Military sources told the newspaer that rapid planning of the invasion did not give officials time to pick aircraft crews. Women pilots, flight engineers and loadmasters were used as an expedient, one source said. "To have excluded an aircraft from the mission simply because there was a woman aboard would have lessened our response and reduced our effectiveness," Mall said. Federal law prohibits the "assignment of women to duty in aircraft engaged in combat missions, but Mall said that officials "determined that the risk of exposure to hostile fire and the risk of capture in the Grenada operation did not preclude using female troops.

The Federal Communications Commission's Eastern, Pilots Union Break Off Talks MIAMI (AP) Eastern Airlines and the pilots union broke off talks cooling-of- f Sunday, triggering a period that will end three days before a deadline set by the airlines lenders, officials said. Eastern owes $2.5 billion, including $581 million to lenders who have set a Feb. 28 deadline for the airline to sign wage and work rule agreements containing concessions from its three labor unions. The lenders have required ratification of the agreements by the end of March. Meredith Buel, spokesman for the National Mediation Board, said intensive talks between the Air Line Pilots y debt-ridde- n Association and Eastern broke off Sunday evening in Washington. Eastern spokesman Mark Wegel said the airline would have no comment until Monday. Larry Schulte, leader of the ALPA local that represents 4,000 Eastern pilots, scheduled a news conference in Washington, D.C., for Monday afternoon to discuss a possible strike against Eastern, although federal law would not permit a strike during the cooling-of- f period. Miami-base- d Eastern rejected mediators suggestion that both sides enter voluntary arbitration, triggering the cooling-of- f period that begins Ruse at N.Y. Subway Booth Nets 3 Robbers $ 1 1 ,000 - NEW YORK (UPI) Three men, one of them dressed as a police officer pretending to arrest fare jumpers, duped a subway clerk into opening his booth door and robbed him of $11,000 in cash and tokens Sunday, police said. Sgt. Raymond ODonnell, a police spokesman, said two of the robbers jumped a Brooklyn turnstile at 3:22 a m. A few minutes later the third man, dressed in a police uniform with badge and carrying a radio and nightstick, arrived. The clerk tells him what happened and he goes down onto the platform and returns with the two males, he said. He frisks them and then asks permission to use the phone. As soon as the clerk opened the door to give access to the telephone, 80-Year-- the three robbed him of $11,000 in cash and tokens, ODonnell said. The bandits, who did not display any weapons, then fled. The clerk was not hurt, he said. The clerk said the man posing as a police officer was wearing a badge with the number 50706, said Transit Police spokesman William Murphy. Our numbers dont go that high and neither do the city, the Port Authority or housing police, Murphy said. Were pretty certain at this point that it was a phony. He said the robber may have been wearing a private security guards uniform or even a costume. Were going on the presumption right now that it was someone dressed in uniform similar to police uniform, Murphy said. Charged in Cane Killing Old - An PHENIX CITY, Ala. (AP) woman has been charged with murdering her male companion by hitting him on the head with a cane, police said.

Talks between Eastern and the Transport Workers Union, which represents its 7,000 flight attendants, broke down in December, triggering a y cooling-of- f period. When the period ended without an agreement Jan. 20, Eastern imposed wage and benefit cuts on the attendants and announced 1,010 layoffs. The airline also announced cuts in wages and benefits for its and middle management records also say Bakker told viewers in 1978 and 1979, whose donations totaled some $350,000, that their money was going toward South Korean and Brazilian programs that were either already under way or soon to be started. But the PTL, based in Fort Mill, S.C., failed to send the aid until more than a year after the donations came in, the commissions report shows. The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that PTL used the donations to pay for part of the multimillion-dolla- r Heritage USA complex. The commissions records, which had been confidential until the newspaper obtained them last December, also showed that Bakker and his wife, Tammy, used portions of PTL donations to buy personal items, including a mink coat.

Fighting the spread of childrens AIDS may be especially difficult because most infants with AIDS are born to mothers with no outward signs of disease, said Dr. Howard Minkoff, director of obstetrics at the State University cf New Medical Center in Brooklyn. Of 34 mothers who gave birth to children with AIDS at Minkoffs hospital, only four had any symptoms of acquired immune deficiency synd drome or complex, known as ARC, a milder form of the disease. The mothers were the source of the AIDS infections in their children, however, and some of them later developed the disease, he said. Minkoff spoke at a symposium sponsored by the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation on AIDS in newborns. AIDS-relate- Newborns As of Jan. 13, 231 cases of AIDS in infants had been reported to the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. About 40 percent of them, or 103 cases, occurred in New York City, said Rita ODonnell, a public health adviser in the citys Health Department. She estimates that for every child who has AIDS in New York there are d three to five children who have complex, which may or may not progress to become AIDS. ODonnell said she expects the number of childrens AIDS cases in New York to double by the end of the year, while the number of cases in adults will not double for two years. AIDS has struck 16,227 adults nad tionwide. About of those cases occurred in New York City, according to the CDC. The disease weakens the immune systems of its victims, leaving them prey to unusual infections and forms of cancer. The disease is more likely to be fatal in children than in adults, O'Donnell said.
