ANAHEIM, Calif. Balloons flut
tered in the sunshine, a band struck
up the familiar "M
-I-C-K-E-Y," and
the world's most famous mouse broke
into a jig as Disneyland kicked up its
heels yesterday on its 30th birthday.
Thousands of families, some from
as far as Egypt, India and Korea,
made the pilgrimage to the home of
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and
Goofy.
"It's so fantastic, I can't describe
it," said wide-eyed Daliah Bayomi,
13, of Cairo, Egypt, who came with
her twin sister, Marwa, to share in
the birthday festivities. "I think I'm
so lucky to be here."
Mickey's first appearance of the
day was a mob scene.
Adults and children raced after him
as he paraded through the park like a
pied piper. Children hung on his coat,
grabbed his hands and nearly bowled
him over before he did his little dance
and retreated.

Many youngsters wore Disneyland
dresses, T-shirts, hats.
At midnight, Tinkerbell from "Pet

atop the park's Matterhorn to start
the party.
Disneyland gave away birthday
gifts ranging from free passes to the
park to brand new cars. EVery 3,000 th

It was a particularly memorable
celebration for Michael Schwartner,
37, of Searchlight, Nev. He and
Christine Graes, 38, were the first two
children through the gates in 1955.
They were on hand again for the 30th
birthday.
"The place is better than ever,"
Schwartner said. "I was just old
enough to remember whatjt was like.
Walt Disney put me on his knee and
asked me if I could wiggle my ears.
When he talked to you, he was so
warm. It was like no one else was
around."

Some celebrants, who were ex
pected to number 60,000 before the
day ended, came because it was their
birthday, too. One of those was Bren
da Soto O'Sullivan, 32, of Anaheim,
who brought her 7-month-old daugh
ter, Dominique, wearing a pink Min
nie Mouse suit.
"I've been to Disneyland every
year of my life (since it opened), and
I wanted her to be here, too," said
Mrs. O'Sullivan, who arrived at 1
a.m. and planned to stay until closing
Wednesday night.
As for Dominique, Mrs. O'Sullivan
said, "She slept through most of it."
Ann Salley and husband Paul came
from Lombard, 111., with their two
children.
"Today is my 30th birthday," she
said, "and this whole vacation is my
birthday present. I didn't know that I
had the same birthday as Disneyland
until a couple of months ago. My
mother never told me."
From a first-year crowd of 3.8
million in 1956, Disneyland welcomed
11.5 million in 1980, its peak atten
dance. Park officials hope that record
will fall this year.

Bloodsuckers beaten back
By JOEL SIEGEL
Associated Press Writer
HARRISBURG State officials
say they've finally swatted the blood
sucking black fly, making the capital
safe for barbecues, softball games
and other outdoor summer fun.
In past years, the maddening flies
have forced residents to wear bee
keeper hats, rub Vicks Vapoßub on
their caps and keep lighted "punk"
sticks at hand to hold the insects at
bay. Some even took vitamin 81,
thinking it would seep through their
pores and repel the gnats.

state news briefs
State unions losing members
HARRISBURG (AP) State employees resigned from union
membership in record numbers several weeks ago when a strike
threatened, a union leader said.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees lost 3,000 of its 45,000 dues paying members during the
last two weeks in June, said Edward Keller, executive director of
the union's Council 13.
Union members are permitted to resign only during the last two
weeks of the contract with the state. The AFSCME contract
expired June 30 and union leaders had said a strike would be
called if there was no agreement. A strike was averted shortly
before the midnight deadline and rank and file ratified a new two
year pact.
Since the agreement, AFSCME has regained about 700 mem
bers, half of whom had left during the resignation period, Keller
said. He expects the membership rolls to grow by 1,000 when the
final count is in.
Keller told The Patriot newspaper here that the union is
considering life insurance policies for family members and a
legal aid program as incentives to keep members and gain new
ones.

NASA prepares for Jupiter
LOS ANGELES (AP) While NASA focuses on preparations to
launch the Galileo spacecraft toward Jupiter next May, scientists
meet here yesterday to start planning another unmanned mission
to the giant planet in the 19905.
The missioh's two orbiters would study Jupiter's poles, its huge
magnetic field, its dust ring and its moons Europa and 10, the
latter of which has volcanoes that spew plumes 120 miles high,
said George Siscoe, atmospheric sciences chairman at the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles.
The orbiters would scrape the planet's upper atmosphere,
approaching three times closer than Galileo, said Torrence
Johnson, Galileo project scientist at the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
Siscoe said about 30 scientists plan to attend the two-day
workshop, sponsored by NASA.
They will discuss whether the orbiters' electronic equipment
can be built to survive intense radiation from high-energy
particles in the region they would explore: the magnetosphere, or
magnetic field, surrounding Jupiter. The Jovian magnetosphere,
Siscoe noted, is the solar system's largest object, five times the
size of the sun.
Siscoe said the scientists likely will end the workshop with a
recommendation for NASA to formally consider mounting the
mission, which would be launched in the mid to late 19905, with the
orbiters coupled together for the two-year trip to Jupiter.
Freddie the Alligator killed
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Two men have been
charged with killing Freddy the Alligator, the mascot and star zoo
attraction who was stoned and hacked to death with an ax, police
said yesterday.
James D. Jones, 19, of Lake Worth, and Thomas Feldkamp, 20,
of Boynton Beach, were arrested Tuesday and taken to the Palm
Beach County Jail, where they were charged with burglary,
grand theft and the killing of an alligator, said police Lt. Jerry
Whiebrenner.
The men, who were questioned after police received an anony
mous phone call, have admitted slaying the animal but did not
offer a motive, said Winebrenner.
The 16-year-old alligator was killed Monday in his longtime
home at the Dreher Park Zoo. He had been stoned, his skull
smashed and his tail partially hacked off.
According to Winebrenner, Jones and Feldkamp told police
they climbed a fence to get into the zoo, where they hit the
alligator on the head with a pick used to break up concrete.
Freddy, an American alligator, had been the most popular
attraction at the zoo for 14 years. He also was the official mascot
of the South Florida Water Management District for 16 years, and
his birth in 1969 was captuied on film and included in a movie
,about Everglades ecology produced by the district.
Beacon Hill sinking
BOSTON (AP) Historic, high-priced Beacon Hill is sinking as
wooden pilings supporting the neighborhood crumble, and city
officials said yesterday the governor should have it declared a
federal disaster area.
Seventeen homes on one street were recently condemned as
unsafe for habitation, and engineers are watching 285 others.
"In the worst case, virtually every building could come down. It
would be a catastrophe," city Councilor David Scondras said
Wednesday. "Everyone is hoping it's not their building first."
Created by filling in part of Boston Harbor around an existing
hill between 1825 and 1870, the Beacon Hill and neighboring Back
Bay areas are home to stately Federal and Victorian residences
that sit on thousands of wooden pilings pounded into mud. Today,
the homes cost up to $6 million each.
But many of the pilings beneath them are rotting. City engi
neers blame the problem on Boston's water level, which has
mysteriously dropped over 50 years and exposed the wood to air.

Explosion caused Air-India crash
BOMBAY, India (AP) A news agency reported yesterday
that analysis of the flight data recorder indicates an explosion
aboard the Indian jetliner that crashed last month, but an
aviation expert said such conclusions are premature.
The Press Trust of India, quoting unidentified sources close to
an Indian government inquiry into the June 23 crash, said a
computer printout of the flight data recorder gave "definite
clues" of an explosion aboard the Boeing 797.
Air-India Flight 182 crashed into the North Atlantic about 120
miles southwest of Ireland on a flight from Canada to Bombay via
London. All 329 people aboard were killed.
"Analysis of the data recorder suggests cracking of the aircraft
material seconds after the explosion," PTI said. "The sources
close to the court of inquiry did not even rule out the possibility of
two explosions."
It said the finding "further confirms the theory of sabotage
advanced by aviation circles."
High Court Justice B.N. Kirpal chief of the Indian inquiry
refused to giye details of preliminary findings.
Mexico's ruling party remains
MEXICO CITY (AP) Results from the July 7 elections show
the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party received 11.6 million
votes to 2.7 million for the opposition National Action Party.
The ruling party, known as the PRI, won 292 of the 300 seats
directly elected to the lower house of Congress. National Action,
or PAN, won six and the remaining two went to the tiny Authentic
Party of the Mexicali Revolution.
Opposition leaders charged the PRI margin of victory was
largely due to electoral fraud and ballot-box stuffing.
The results released Tuesday night by the Federal Electoral
Commission show that 17.8 million of the eligible 35.2 million
voters cast ballots in the congressional vote.
They show PRI with 65 percent of the total and PAN with 15
percent.
They were trailed by the communist-led coalition Mexican
United Socialist Party, 3.2 percent; the conservative Mexican
Democratic Party, 2.7 percent; the Socialist Workers Party, 2.4
percent; the Popular Socialist Party, 1.9 percent; the Authentic
Party, 1.6 percent; the Mexican Workers Party, 1.5 percent.
