News in brief
United Press International
Oil chief says prices to rise
WASHINGTON—A major oil company chief says
heating oil and gasoline prices will go up another seven to
10 cents as the result of decontrol and OPEC’s latest hike,
making gasoline cost more than 51.50 a gallon in some
areas.
But the Lundberg Letter, an independent oil industry
newsletter published in Los Angeles over the weekend,
predicted a new gasoline glut will help keep prices down,
perhaps below 1.45 a gallon this year.
Arson unproven in Dublin fire
DUBLIN, Ireland—Police interviewed more than 200
survivors without finding evidence to support their
suspicion of arson in a St. Valentine’s Day discotheque
fire that killed 48 persons and injured 130, but they plan
more questioning.
Police searching for the origin of the blaze inspected the
charred ruins of the Stardust Disco Sunday and in-
terviewed survivors of the blaze, which triggered a mass
stampede for the exits.
Columbia tests main engines
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—Spaceport officials, with
three 24-hour delays already behind them, set the count-
down Monday night for the all important launch rehearsal
of the space shuttle Columbia.
The unprecedented test is to lead to the launch pad
firing of the three main engines in the winged rocket plane
fbr the first time shortly after dawn Thursday.
The date of the long postponed maiden orbital test flight
of the space shuttle hinges on the test outcome.
Dental hygiene clinic
offers student services
Polish groups near agreement
WARSAW, Poland—The government and 10,000 striking
students in Lodz were close to agreement Monday on a
compromise to.avert nationwide protest by ending com-
pulsory Russian language and Marxism courses in Polish
universities.
The planned compromise, however, reportedly would
sidestep the potentially volatile issue of whether a studen-
ts’ union would be required to follow the leadership of the
Communist Party.
Atlanta death toll reaches 17
ATLANTA—Dental records helped authorities identify
a deteriorating skeleton as 11-year-old Jeffery Lamar
Mathis, who was last seen 11 months ago and is now the
17th victim in a bizarre string of slayings.
The boy’s identification Sunday left just one name,
Daron Glass, 10, on the official list of missing black
children.
All 18 children to turn up dead or missing in the past 19
months have been black, between the ages of 7 of 15, and
poor. Sixteen were boys. Most of the victims were either
strangled or asphyxiated.
U.S. recalls USSR attache
MOSCOW—The assistant army attache at the U.S. Em-
bassy was recalled after he told his superiors he was
drugged and compromised at a party arranged by the
KGB, military sources said.
Maj. James Holbrook, 41, was apparently the target of
an attempt by the Soviet intelligence agency to blackmail
him into becoming a Soviet spy through the use of drugs
and compromising photographs, the sources said.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy confirmed that
Holbrook, who is married, left Moscow “suddenly” last
month and returned to the United States.
