Cops arrest Arab,
suspect in killing
WEST BERLIN ? Polirp
have, arreted an Arah nn
suspicion of complicity in
the 1986 bombing of the La
Belle disco that killed two
U.S. soldiers and one Turkish
woman, a justice official
said today.
Cornel Christoffel, spokesman
for the West Berlin judicial
authorities, said that a
man he identified only as Ali
C. had been detained in East
Berlin on Aug. 27 on suspicion
of aiding and abetting
murder. ,
Winds in excess,

KITTY HAWK, N.C. ?
The pilot of the first aircraft
to fly from California to the
East Coast using solar power
today called off his attempt
to complete his trip by flying

Northeast wind in excess
of 20 mph forced Eric Raymond
to cancel plans to fly
his ultralight craft the remaining
nine miles from the
farm where he landed Monday
to the First Flight Airport
next to the Wright
Brothers Memorial at Kitty
Hawk.
His aircraft, the Sun
Seeker, depends on sunshine
and favorable wind. Solar
cells produce power for its
electric motor, which is used
for takeoffs and landings.
After takeoff, the plane rides

Scientists isolate

BETHESDA, Md. ? The
National Institutes of Health
announced Tuesday that scientists
have isolated the gene
responsible for osteoarthritis,
a painful, crippling disease
fthat affects about 16 million
Americans.
Dr. Darwin Prockop of
Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson
University and Dr.
Roland Moskowitz of Case

SC drops in poll,
EPA cites increase
GREENVILLE ? South
Carolina dropped from 11th
in the nation in toxic emissions
to 22nd in 1988, according
to data compiled by
the federal Environmental
Protection Agency.
Industries emitted more
\ than 68 million pounds of
toxic chemicals statewide
that year ? more than 90
percent into the air, said the
EPA data obtained by The
(Greenville) News.
But state officials say
South Carolina's decline in
the rankings is due to other
states becoming more honest
in their reporting rather than
South Carolina reducing
emissions.
