Nader fights
for air bags
WASHINGTON (UPI)
A move in Congress to
overturn the proposal that
all cars be equipped with
air bags or automatic seat
belts is "doomed to
defeat," Ralph Nader said
yesterday.
He made the piediction
at a news conference called
to announce the formation
of a coalition of 20 labor,
consumer, insurance and
public interest groups
which will try , to keep
Congress from interfering
with Transportation
Secretary Brock Adams'
decision.
Resolutions offered in
both houses would
automatically veto Adams'
plan, and President Carter
would-have no say in the
matter should the
resolutions win approval.
Nader, still upset that
Adams, did not order air
bags or automatic belts
earlier than the proposed
September, 1981, starting
date, said the coalition is
sufficiently broad-based to
- Chilean hijackers
give up for asylum
LIMA, Peru ( UPI) Four Chileans who hijacked a
6 domestic airliner and forced it to fly to Lima surrendered
=yesterday afternoon and accepted political asylum in the
' Venezuelan Embassy.
The agreement was negotiated by the Peruvian ministers of
"foreign relations and the interior in hours of talks with the
'hijackers.
, The hijackers, three men and a woman ranging in age from
18 to 30, calmly walked from the plane carrying in their
pockets the handguns with which they forced the crew of the
airplane to fly to Lima.
They were taken to the Venezuelan Embassy in the cars of
the two Peruvian ministers.
:• The hijackers had forced a cabin steward at gunpoint to lead
), them into the cockpit during a flight by the Boeing 727 of
Ladeco Airlines between Arica, Chile, and Santiago, the
Chilean capital.

"Americans have a right to

technology which can save
them.
'The resolutions in
troduced by Rep. Bud
Shuster, - 4-Pa., and Sen.
Robert Griffin, R-Mich.,
are "doomed to defeat,"
Nader said. He again at
tacked Adams' decision,
saying the plan might be
jeopardized because it
could well come to a head
under a different ad
ministration by the time it
takes effect in 1984.
There is "no conceivable
justification," Nader
added, for the small car
buyer having to wait until
1984 for air bags.
Adams announced last
week that large cars would
be equipped with air bags
or other automatic
restraints by the 1982
model year, with other
cars to be phased into the
same requirement during
the following two years.

Expert speaks at Hanafi trial
Hostage shot 'at close-range'
WASHINGTON (UPI) A police firearms expert told the
Hanafi Muslim 'murder-kidnap trial yesterday that a shotgun
blast which left a hostage at the District Building paralyzed
was fired from a range of six feet or less.
'Raymond S. Voorhees was asked his opinion of the buckshot
wound sustained by city hall aide Robert Pierce in the
takeover of three buildings and 149 hostages last March. A
surgeon who operated on Pierce described the wound, as
"about the size of a silver dollar."
Voorhees, working with a chart of Shotgun . patterni and a
silver dollar handed to him by prosecutor Martin Linksy,
testified that the range which would produce such a wound
"could be no greater than six feet or two yards."
Solar electricity
viable alternative
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Departing from past
assessments, congressional
researchers said yesterday
that solar energy must be
taken seriously as a source of
electricity as well as heat for
individual homes, apartment
buildings and offices.
The report by Congress'
Office of Technology
Assessment ( OTA) said small
devices supplying electricity,
heat and hot water for a single
building offer an important
but often ignored
replacement for conventional
sources of energy.
The , two-volume report,
described as the most
exhaustive analysis to date of
small-scale solar devices,
differed sharply from past
government studies that
discounted the promise of
solar electric generation for
individual homes.
It said federal research
programs so far have slighted
development of home-size
solar electric generators and
have overemphasized big,
centralized solar stations
comparable to conventional
utility power plants.
Urging reversal of the trend
toward centralization, the
office said the sun potentially
can provide economical total
heating for apartments in 5 to
10 years . and partial home
generation of electricity
within one or two decades.
The report called for more
emphasis on small, on-site
solar electric systems and
suggested major revisions in
administration energy
policies including in
centives for manufacturers,
prizes of $50,000 to $lOO,OOO for
inventors and tax breaks for
users to boost all types of
solar development.
A major question at the prolonged trial is whether Pierce
sustained his wound from a shot fired by Abdul Muziker, one
of the 12 defendants, or from police fire from a distance away.
Two fellow hostages testified last week they saw Muziker
turn and discharge his weapon in the direction of Pierce and
several others lying down on the floor.
George Porter, an assistant corporation counsel for the City
Council, said Pierce, lying beside him, said he had been hit
immediately after a burst of automatic rifle fire by police.
According to Porter, the bullets from' the automatic began
coming into the room over his head at least 15 minutes after he
had heard the last of four shotgun blasts.
