The bodies of Leigh Douglas,
Philip Padfield and a third man were
found Thursday near Beirut. A note
with the bodies said the three had
been slain in retaliation for That-
cher’s decision to allow the U.S.
bombers that attacked Libya to fly
from British bases.
Reagan on Thursday called the
slaying of the hostages "a tragedy”
demonstrating that "terrorism is
something that we have to deal with
once and for all, all of us together.”
Ali Treiki, Libya’s ambassador-
designate to the United Nations,
speaking this morning on NBC-TV’s
det
Margaret Thatcher’s government 1
said it had good reason to believe the
two “were in Libyan hands.”
Attorney General Edwin Meese l
said the United States "will look at
the evidence” behind the killings.
“But I think we won’t announce in
advance what we’re going to do,” he
added.
Meese, interviewed on CBS-TV’s
"Morning News” show, said Presi-
dent Reagan’s resolve "continues to
be as strong" as ever "to be sure that
terrorists can't run.... The fact is we
have to take action against terrorism
when we have the clear proof as to
where the culprits are.” ,
In London, Foreign Secretary Sir
Geoffrey Howe said without elabora- (
tlon, “For some time, we have had
firm evidence of direct Libyan in-
volvement in the kidnapping of Mr.
Douglas and Mr. Padfield, and we
have good reason to believe they
were in Libyan hands.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Airlines are imposing new security
measures to combat terrorism abroad, including around-the-clock
guards at parked aircraft, but they say travelers should help pay for
the expensive precautions.
Pan American World Airways said it plans to ask the government
to approve a $5-per-passenger surcharge to defray added security
expenses, and other airlines are likely to follow suit.
Meanwhile, the head of the airline pilots union called Thursday for
better training and pay for airport security workers to get away
from “the rent-a-cop” approach to combating terrorism.
Airlines hire security workers who screen passengers and bags at
airports. Any pay increase or expansion of the work force probably
would be passed on to travelers.
Carriers such as Pan Am and Trans World Airlines, which depend
heavily on trans-Atlantic business, are trying to calm fears about
security. Travel agents already are reporting many people are
canceling trips to Europe because of worries about terrorism, spark-
ed largely by the continuing U.S. confrontation with Libya.
Martin R. Shugrue Jr., vice chairman and chief operating officer
of Pan Am, vowed Thursday to “do our damndest to minimize the
risk” of terrorism.
"We are going to have to show the public this year that interna-
tional travel is both rewarding and safe," he told the International
Aviation Club. He acknowledged that bookings are down on flights to
southern Europe and the Mediterranean area.
The Federal Aviation Administration earlier this week directed
U.S. airlines flying abroad to impose new security procedures, but
declined to name the specific measures imposed.
Shugrue hestitated to go into details, but said the airline has begun
to use around-the-clock guards to watch parked aircraft at some air-
ports and has increased screening of passengers and baggage.
FAA Administrator Donald Engen told reporters the agency and
the airlines are "aggressively pursuing security on a number of
fronts" and that the air carriers flying overseas "are indeed using
security measures that are adequate.”
Engen said he would not hesitate to take his family on a trip
abroad, though conceding "every family has to make the decision
himself.”

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Police
searched a shell-pocked seaside
apartment building today for the
body of a fourth British hostage, but
said an anonymous telephone call
claiming he had been killed ap-
parently was a hoax.
The bodied of three captives were
found Thursday in the mountains
east of Beirut, and a note left nearby
said the men had been slain in
retaliation for British cooperation
with a U.S. air strike on Libya early
Tuesday.
John Rowan, first secretary of the
Irish Embassy in Beirut, identified
the three slain men as Philip Pad-
field, 40; Leigh Douglas, 34, and Alec
Collett, 64. He said he knew all three
Britons.
But in London, British Foreign Of-
fice spokeswoman Sue Jones said the
body of one of the victims could be
that of Brian Keenan, who holds dual
British-Irish citizenship, rather than
that of Collett.
The British Embassy in Beirut was
trying to make positive identifica-
tions of the victims today when
Christian-controlled Xoice of
Lebanon radio reported that an
anonymous telephone caller had
claimed that another Briton, 29-year-
old cameraman John McCarthy, had
been slain.
Four gunmen seized McCarthy and
his Lebanese driver Thursday on a
highway that leads to the airport
through west and south Beirut.
McCarthy, who arrived in the
Lebanese capital March 16, works
for the Worldwide Television News
Agency and was booked on a flight to
London from Beirut.
The radio station said the caller
claimed that McCarthy’s body would
be found wrapped in a blanket on the
second floor of a west Beirut apart-
ment building. It said the caller
claimed to speak for the Arab

Sheriff’s Reserves, an law Enforcement Explorer Post current sites the doe plans to
No. 125. (Brand Photo by Cindy Smith) recommend are in Deaf Smith Coun-
ty, and in Washington and Nevada.
According to Frishman, the site
characterization should not even
take place at the Deaf Smith site
because all the information he has
found declares that the Deaf Smith
site would be inadequate for a
repository.
“We all believe that a repository is
needed, but through our research, we
find that this area would not be the
best place for it,” he said.
Frishman also told the group that
soon some very heated debates will
result from this issue.
“I ask you not to compete in a
name-calling type of debate,"
Frishman requested. "POWER is an
organization known as a responsible
organization who knows their facts.”
“We are convinced that the
repository should not be located
here. There are too many questions
arriving from the issue at this site.
Why should the DOE even procede
with any more research?,"
Frishman asked said. "Maybe we
can find a judge in a federal court
who will be willing, to ask the same
questions in his mind.”

VEGA - The Texas Nuclear Waste
Programs Office director told a
group of POWER (People Opposed to
Wasted Energy Repositories)
members Thursday that the recent
findings released by a joint commit-
tee from area Chambers of Com-
merce were premature and that the
opposition membership should not be
intimidated by it.
Steve Frishman said the
chamber’s findings were not based
on the facts provided to them. "Even
the DOE (Department of Energy)
felt the conclusions were
premature,” he said. “It appeared
the chamber already had the report
written before they did any in-
vestigation.”
The chamber's report stated that a
nuclear repository, to be located on a
nine-square mile area north of
Hereford, would economically
benefit the communities near the
proposed site.
Frishman added that the DOE has
a hard time looking at scientific facts
that they don't want to hear. “The
chamber group was apparently the
same way,” he accused
In the orginal draft, the DOE said
it would presenting three potential
sites for a nuclear waste repository
to the president in early January.
That date has been moved to some
time in mid-May.
Following the recommendations, a
site characterization would be done
on all three sites. Upon completion of
the characterization, one site would
be chosen for the repositiory. The
