U.S. files protest
in black box search
WASHINGTON The United States has
charged the Soviet Union with harassing ships
searching for the flight and cockpit recorders
of the Korean plane shot down by Soviet mis
siles, a senior defense official said Tuesday. The
official who asked not to be identified, said the
State Department filed a protest Friday with
the Soviet Union and another on Tuesday. The
State Department refused to comment on the
reported protests. The official said Soviet
trawlers sailed dangerously close to Japanese
l mooring ships, causing one of them to break
anchor. The ships, under contract to the U.S.
Navy, mark positions giving Navy salvage ships
the precise navigation needed to search for the
"black boxes" in the northern Sea of Japan. US.
officials hope the tapes will yield information
on how and why the plane strayed into Soviet
territory and whether Soviet authorities
warned the pilot before the plane was shot
down. , .. . -' - - '. j - -
Phone charges delayed
WASHINGTON The Federal Communica
tions Commission said Tuesday it will delay for
three months new charges on telephone bills
set to go into effect Jan. 1. The FCC also post
poned new rates to be paid by long-distance
phone companies to local phone companies
for access to their facilities.
The delay was needed to permit more time
for the commission and long-distance phone
companies to review the lengthy rate changes
filed last month, Warren Lavey, an FCC official,
said. The FCC action means that lower long
distance rates proposed by American Tele
phone and Telegraph Co. also will be post
poned, Lavey said.
Gold in ancient mining area
PARIS Gold, copper, lead, zinc and silver
deposits have been found in the hills of Sudan's
Red Sea coast, about 2,000 years after the
- ancient Egyptians stopped mining there. The
French Bureau for Geological and Mineral
Research said Tuesday a joint Franco-Sudanese-Saudi
exploration project found mas
sive sulphide deposits rich in these metals. The
bureau said it is too early to estimate the size
or quality of the deposits. Gold nuning may
begin in about two years, followed by zinc min
ing, a bureau spokesman said. The exploration
team has found traces of the ancient
Egyptians mines but no archaeologists have
joined the search, he said.
Fossilized skull found
NAIROBI, Kenya Kenyan anthropologist
Richard Leakey announced Tuesday the dis
covery of a nearly complete fossilized skull that
he hopes will answer questions about man's
evolution. Leakey, director of Kenya's national
museums, said at a press conference that the
skull was that of someone who had lived
between 150,000 and 300,000 years ago and
. who had language and culture. Leakey said the
importance of the fossil was not its age but its
fine state of preservation.
Cheeseburger investigation
PEORIA, III Twenty-four people re
mained hospitalized Tuesday for treatment of
apparent food poisoning while health investi
gators tried to determine whether botulism
was to blame. Federal and state health investi
gators said the patients appeared to have
dined at the same restaurant in a shopping
center during the weekend. All apparently had
the same meal a cheeseburger. The Food
and Drug Administration and the Centers for
Disease Control have been investigating the
food sold at the restaurant, including pickles
served on the sandwiches.

took the worst beating from Sovkt MiGs and
