President Francesco Cossiga went by helicopter to Stava, which on Friday was transformed in 20 seconds from a scenic tourist resort in the Dolomite mountains to an expanse of mud covering three hotels and scores of houses. Officials at the scene said yesterday that 195 bodies had been recovered. They said the final toll would certainly pass 200 because many of the 51 people missing were feared dead. The last of 19 survivors was pulled from the mud Saturday morning, after being stuck neck deep for 18 hours.

The state prosecutor in Trento, Francesco Simeoni, on Saturday questioned one of the owners of the mining company that used water from two artificial lakes behind the earthen dam to filter industrial wastes. The owner, Giulio Rota, said later the tragedy could not have been foreseen, and that the company "constantly inspected the state of maintenance of the dam." Simeoni sent out 30 judicial notices to public officials in the area and people connected with the company, telling them they were under investigation. No charges were filed, but he said he would not rule out arrests later. Officials earlier said water apparently seeped into the 20-year old dam and cracked it after recent thunderstorms.

Earlier yesterday, Cossiga visited the Santa Maria in Assunta Church, serving as a temporary morgue, in nearby Cavalese. Cossiga knelt and touched the small white coffin of a child, one of dozens of coffins laid out. Choking on the odor of formaldehyde, a chemical used to preserve the bodies, he put on a gauze face mask like those worn by relatives who came to identify the remains of their loved ones. Officials later removed from the church bodies still unidentified, and took them to an undisclosed location. Cossiga was among hundreds of mourners who packed St. Eliseo Profeta Churclun Tesero.

It was the steel industry's first major strike since a 116-day nationwide walkout in 1959. "I've heard this propaganda about liquidation until it nauseates me," said Paul Rusen, chief USW negotiator for the strikers and approximately 10,000 company retirees. "There may be a liquidation (firing) of the executives of this company ... not the jobs of our people." Wheeling-Pittsburgh, with annual sales of about $1 billion, has been in Chapter 11 reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws since April 16. During Saturday's last-ditch talks to avert a strike, company Vice President Joseph Scalise Jr Rescue teams work in the mud among debris In an attempt to recover bodies at this Dolomites resort. The fury of the water destroyed houses and hotels killing hundreds of people in Stave, Italy. warned repeatedly that Wheeling- Pittsburgh could be forced into Chapter 7 liquidation by a strike. Picketing started at 12:01 a.m. yesterday at Wheeling-Pittsburgh's nine plants in the Ohio and Monongahela river valleys of western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and southeastern Ohio. No talks were scheduled yesterday. The strike halted production. Shipments and sales will stop whenever stockpiles of finished material are exhausted, which union members say might not happen for a month. Federal mediator Robert Housholder, who called the bargainers "pretty hard-nosed," said he and mediator Carmon Newell might call the two sides together if neither side requested a resumption of talks within several days. The leading issue is the size of wage and benefit concessions the union should grant to help Wheeling-Pittsburgh overcome long-standing operating deficits and emerge from Chapter 11 as a profitable company.
