Family mourns hijack victim
WALDORF, Md. (AP) - Robert Stethem, the young Navy diver
killed aboard TWA Flight 87, was shot because the hijackers "need-
ed to make an example of somebody, and he was a symbol because
he was military," says his brother, who is also a Navy frogman.
Navy Petty Officer Robert Dean Stethem, 2, was badly beaten
and then shot in the head at Beirut airport Saturdy fundamentalist
Shiite gunmen who seized the plane after leaving Athens for Rome
with more than 100 Americans aboard.
His body was being flown home today and was expected to arrive
at nearby Andrews Air Force Base early this evening.
"He died for his country," Kenneth Stethem, M, said Monday,
holding back tears. “And he died trying to save the people on that
plane. We are all very proud of him.”
Navy officials said Stethem, a steelworker 2nd Clam and member
of a Navy family that included both his parents and a brother, came
home for a few days two weeks ago before leaving for an assignment
in Greece.
“He called us from Kennedy Airport and told us he was catching a
TWA flight out and that he'd be back in a short period of time,”
recalled Stethem’s father, Richard, who spent 25 years in the Navy.
"He just told us that beloved us very much.”
Richard Stethem, standing in front of his split-level home in this
community about 20 miles south at Washington, descibed his son as
“a very good kid. He was very proud of being in the service."

Officials praise drug sentence
BRECKENRIDGE, Texas (AP) - Local authorities praised a
Stephens County jury that sentenced a Breckenridge man to 50 years
in prison and fined him $25,000 for attempting to manufacture
methamphetamines.
Officials said by convicting 46-yearold Don Baxter and levying the
harsh penalty on Monday, the jury made a statement that drugs
were clearly unwelcome in Stephens County.
“They sent the word that they won't tolerate this type at criminal
activity in their jurisdiction," said District Attorney Tim Eyssen.
“My office, and all the law enforcement officials we work with, will
continue to seek out those violators. "
Baxter, who kept his head bowed as District Judge RE. Thornton
announced the sentence, was arrested Dec. M, UM, shortly before
suthorities raided his house and business. Chemicalsand equipment
that officials said were norsemry to make methamphetamines were
confiscated in the raids.
