At least 47 killed
in explosion on
battleship Iowa

By n.w. PAGE
Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. ~ A huge gun turret
packed with gunpowder exploded in flames
on the battleship USS Iowa near Puerto
Rico yesterday, killing at least 47 sailors in
one of the worst naval disasters since the
Vietnam War.

The death toll from the accident. during
a gunnery exercise “could go higher, but
we don‘t know at this point." said Lt.
(‘mdr Steve Burnett, a spokesman for the
Atlantic Fleet. based in Norfolk.

The number of crewmen injured had not
been determined, he said.

Two ships participating in the same
exercise collided Wednesday afternoon
about 500 miles east of Jacksonville. Fla.
causing one minor injury. said Archie Gal-
loway. a civilian public affairs officer at
Norfolk.

Neither the USS Platt. a fleet oiler. nor
the frigate USS Tripp was in danger of
sinking. Galloway said. The ships were not
in the same area as the Iowa.

Iowa crewmen put out a fire in the gun
turret. which supports three of the ship‘s
nine 16-inch guns. flooded several compart-
ments holding explosives as a precaution.
and declared the ship out of danger. said
Lt. (‘mdr (‘hris Baumann. another spokes-
man for the fleet.

The fire was in the second of two for»
ward turrets. at the loading position of the
middle gun. said Bruce Nason, a Navy
spokesman at the Pentagon. There also is
a turret at the back of the Iowa.

It took 80 minutes after the 10 am
plosion to extinguish the blaze

The Iowa rendezvoused at midafternoon
with the aircraft carrier ITSS Coral Sea.
which carries three doctors and has full
medical facilities. Baumann said. Helicopt»
ers from the Coral Sea brought medical
equipment to the Iowa and transferred
some injured crewmen to the carrier.

“The ship has not sent a list of the
wounded They have other things more
pressing to worry about." said Lt. Russ
Grier. an Atlantic Fleet spokesman

OK-

The Iowa will proceed Thursday to
Roosevelt Roads. a Navy base in Puerto

Rico. said Cmdr. Robert Franzmann of the
Atlantic Fleet. The 4t‘ryear—old ship. one of
the four largest in the fleet. is based at
Norfolk.

Navy officials were notifying relatives
personally of the deaths, Baumann said.

The explosion occurred during a gunnery
exercise abOut 330 miles northeast of Puer-
to Rico, Burnett said.

The ship‘s guns were being test fired and
the turret was ”full of gunpowder." Bau-
mann said. The 16~inch guns can fire 2.700
pound shells at distance of 23 miles.

A gun turret is normally occupied by 27
people. but can hold so or 70 people. Bau—
mann said. but. “We don't know how many
people were in there at the time “

Mark Newton. a former Marine who
spent a week as a guest on the Iowa in 1987
and now is curator of the permanently
docked I‘SS Massachusetts in Fall River.
Mass. explained how a shell is loaded

After the shell is placed in the gun. a
door is opened to the gun room from the
powder hoist room. he said Cylindrical
powder bags. containing about 110 pounds
of powder. are then rammed in behind the
shell and what is called a breech plug is
sealed to prevent the leakage of powder
gases

Newton said there were 'at least five"
stages in the firing process when the explo~
sion could have occurred but would not

speculate further.

The training exercise to improve fleet
readiness began April 1:! and involved
19.000 people aboard 29 ITS ships. three
allied ships and shorebased aircraft.
Baumann said

There were 1.600 people aboard the ship.
including Vice Adm Jeremiah Johnson.
commander of t! S. 2nd Fleet

In Washington. President Bush was
asked during a photo session with congres—
sional leaders to comment on the explo-
slon.

"It is a great tragedy and a matter of
terrible sadness. ” he said

MSU’S blunders give UK win

By BOB sommx
Staff Writer

UK coach Keith Madison will
take a victory any time he can get
it Even If it comes from another
team ‘s errors.

"I thought we were very tortii
nate.” UK coach Keith Madison
said after his team capitalized on
three Morehead errors in one in
ning to come from two runs down
and stun the Eagles 54 last night
at Shively Baseball Field.

UK pinch~runner Anthony Mor
row advanced to third on a Wild
pitch, then scored when Mort-head
catcher David Wheeler's throw
down the baseline was misplayed
by the third baseman The ball
went into left field and Morrow
came home to score the go-aliead
run.

It put
night.

“'l‘heir «MSI"si pitchers did an
outstanding job, and combined with
that we didn't hit the ball well."
Madison said

I'K starting pitcher ’l‘om Deller
allowed tour runs in the first five
innings, but then iield his compo
sure to win his second game of the
year. a complete game.

“Vt'e‘ve not been a good offensive

a capper on a strange

team." Morehead State coach
Steve Hamilton said. “We're not a
good hitting team He int‘llt‘l‘l

pitcliediiell "

Kentucky got on the scoreboard
first when clean—up hitter Mark
Blythe nailed Jim Hall's l-l pitch
over the righttield fence It was
Blytlie's ltith home run of the sea
son

But then ll was Morehead‘s turn.

They scored two runs in the fourth
and then added two more in the
fifth off Deller. Little did they
know that those runs would be
their last in the game.

After MSU‘s Jimmy Dawson
flied out to center, Deller walked
Brian Benzinger. It was one of the
two walks he gave up in the eve-
ning _. and the most costly. The
next pitch he threw ended up over
the rightcenter field wall off
Wheeler‘s bat.

In the top of the fifth, Dave
Daugherty reached first base on
shortstop Billy White‘s error. That
was the beginning of Deller‘s most
tenuous struggle on the mound. He
pitched to six more batters and
gave up two runs, one earned and
one not.

Roger Gum has filled in well as the Bat Cats' new second baseman

with a .31 4 batting average

    

By STEVE HARRIS
Staff Writer

For some baseball players, mak‘
ing the transition from a backup
position to a regularday starting
assignment can be stressful —— but
not for UK's second baseman
RogerGum.

“I started 25 games last year,"
Gum said. “I had the confidence
and I didn't have to change the
way I was preparing myself be-
cause I was expecting to see a lot
of action anyway as a designated
hitter,“

Gum was called by UK coach
Keith Madison to start at second
base after an early season injury
sidelined starting second baseman
Vince Castaldo for the year. And
Gum has made the most of the op-
portunity.

Currently, he is hitting .314 * he
hit .280 last year A. with one home
run and 25 RBI.

“I feel a lot better than last
year," Gum said. “The SEC is
tough. and you have to see (the
SEC pitching) once before you can
start hitting well."

Gum doesn‘t take credit for all
his baseball talents. He attributes a
lot of his success to his father who
was an track standout for UK from
1956-60.

“I'm very thankful for my Dad,"
the Knoxville, Tenn, native said.
“He used to spend hours and hours
playing with me, teaching me the
fundamentals."

Even with the countless hours he
spends at practice, Gum maintains
high academic standards. His cur—
rent grade point average is 3.4, and
he was named to the Academic All~
Southeastern Conference Honor
Roll last season.

“The hardest part is finding the
time after a game or a hard prac—
tice to make yourself study. Miss-
ing classes is tough,“ the second
baseman said.

After college, Gum hopes to work
in the advertising industry.

“I‘m very excited about getting
out into the advertising commu
nity," he said. “I'd love to stay in
Lexington, and right now I'm try-
ing to pursue an opening here.“

But right now, Gum is putting his
future aside and worrying about
baseball and making the Southeast-
ern Conference Tournament.

“Our goal is to make it to the top
six in the SEC and make it to
Gainsville," Gum said, “and have
a chance to win the tournament
and go on to the NCAA tourna~
merit."

The company‘s 15 cabs use 7.000

"The biggest single cost of run

That‘s not likely. however, be»
cause industry officials predict that
fuel costs will go even higher

Wholesale gasoline prices ’I‘ues-

nearly a year. Regular unleaded
reached 73.50 cents a gallon on the
New York harbor price. Regular
leaded stood at 75 cents a gallon.

the steepest since the Bluegrass

Kathy Gross said.

The club‘s most recent survey,

under control.‘ ’

He said the response to the spill
has demonstrated “a complete
breakdown“ of the procedures that
were supposed to have been in ef-
fect since the federal government
approved the Alaskan pipeline 16
years ago.

Alaska Gov. Steve Lowper
blamed complacency at all levels
for the poor preparedness, but also
said that there had not been ad-
equate equipment on hand, that
channels of authority were unclear,
and that a lack of leadership and
direction in the critical hours after
the spill further delayed cleanup
efforts.

WASHINGTON —- Oliver
North's lawyer, in an emotional
final argument yesterday, por-
trayed the former White House
aide as a sacrificial lamb, a sca-
pegoat and a hostage, and im-
plored jurors in his trial to “set
him free."

“Oliver North never wanted to
be a hero,“ said Brendan Sulli-
van. “He just wants to go
home."

But prosecutor John Keker,
having the last word, asked the
jury to “return a verdict of
guilty in each and every one of
the 12 charges."

With that, the nine women and
three men who will decide
North’s fate were sent home.
They will return today to begin
their deliberations after instruc—
tions from US. District Judge
Gerhard A. Gesell. During delib-
eration. the jury will be seques-
tered for the first time since the
Iran-contra trial began.

in his hour-long rebuttal,
Keker said it had been an “un-
happy. unpleasant. miserable
criminal trial," and dismissed
Sullivan's closing argument
with a Shakesperian touch: “It

was all sound and fury. signify-
ing nothing.‘ ‘

“You have heard a lot about
courage at this trial,“ Keker
said. “There‘s another kind of
courage: courage, to admit
when you are wrong, courage to
admit personal responsibility.
courage to admit guilt where
appropriate. He (North) has not
admitted any of those things;
it‘s time for you to do it for
him.“

It was the end of two tough
days for North. a former Marine
lieutenant colonel whose power
while he was at the National Se-
curity Council was substantial.
His face paled and he busted
himself with writing while
Keker denounced him; he
looked at the jury while Sullivan
pleaded for him.

“The government has not
shown criminal behavior,“ Sulli-
van said. “The man who held
the lives of others in his hands,
now puts his life into yours.”
The reference was to North's
protecting names of people he
dealt with by shredding or alter-
ing documents, which Sullivan
saw as “a reasonable thing to
do."

Keker had another explana-
tion: “He was destroying docu-
ments deliberately so they

Jury to begin deliberations
today in Oliver North trial

wouldn't find what he didn't
want them to find."

After the arguments, North's
mood brightened and he joined
his wife, who was speaking with
a minister in the front row of
spectators.

Sullivan. choked with emotion
throughout much of his three-
hour closing argument. men-
tioned President Reagan‘s tele-
phone call on the day North was
fired. a call in which the presi-
dent called North “a national
hero.“ and also a postcard
North got from then-Vice Presi-
dent Bush thanking him for his
work.

“All these people who went to
Ollie North for help, where are
they now?" Sullivan asked.

Summing up North‘s defense
in the trial's 12th week, Sullivan
said he had done his job well as
a White House aide, following
superiors' orders to help the Ni«
caraguan rebels. then was
thrown overboard as Reagan
sought to escape political heat
over the affair.

Sullivan told the jury that
North, who had worked to free
American hostages in Lebanon.
has been, in a sense, a hostage
himself.
