Man plunges to death
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - A man plunged from an airplane at
10,000 feet with video cameras rolling in an apparent stunt, and po-
lice Wednesday found a body in the desert wearing a partially de-
ployed parachute under a white dinner jacket.
' He just opened up the door on the right side of the plane and
just fell out of the plane,” said Charlotte Richards, a notary who was
sitting next to the man when he jumped late Monday. She said
she had patted the man on the back and was fairly certain he wasn't
wearing a parachute under his jacket.
The body found in a rugged desert area had a "very light-
weight parachute attached to a harness on the lower back beneath
the dinner jacket, Conner said.
The man was from California and not Germany as was first be-
lieved. Conner said. His name was not released pending notification
of relatives.
A car found parked along a road two or three miles away had
two flashlights aimed up into the air through the windshield and a
map of Las Vegas was spread across the front seat, said Sgt. Ted
Rosen. We think this was the spot he was jumping to." Rosen said.
The car was registered to a Pittsburg, Calif., man.
The man, who had identified himself as a German doctor,
jumped from the small plane late Monday midway between Las Ve-
gas and Hoover Dam.
"I used to skydive and this guy appeared to know what he was
doing," said John Mendonca, one of two cameramen hired to record
the flight. "The guy was flying through the air with his arms out,
spread-eagle like a jumper, which leads me to believe he knew about
. jumping out of an airplane. The guy went out too smooth."
"We are convinced he did this thing as a stunt." Conner said.

Pinochet shakes up junta
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - President Augusto Pinochet dis-
missed the army member of Chile’s military junta and retired nine
generals Wednesday in a shake-up of senior army ranks.
The changes appeared to underline Pinochet’s determination
not to relax his 13-year-old military government.
Pinochet, the 70-year-old army commander, named one of his
most loyal aides. Lt. Gen. Humberto Gordon, director of the secret

more loyal to the institution than to the president.
The 53,000-man army has been Pinochet’s power base since
he seized the presidency from Salvador Allende, an elected Marxist
in a 1973 coup.
Pinochet has hinted at prolonging his presidency beyond his
current eight-year term, which ends in 1989.

i 1,400 jobs open at Tinker
j OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Reagan administration has ap-
proved Defense Department plans to base 15 new E-6A Navy aircraft
at Tinker Air Force Base, creating about 1,400 new jobs, accord-
I mg to U.S. Rep. Mickey Edwards, R-Okla.
j "The squadron is coming to Tinker." Edwards said in a state-
ment Wednesday from his Washington office.

"This is an important decision for Oklahoma. We need new jobs
and new employers and those Navy airplanes - and Navy pay-
checks - are going to be a welcome sight," he said.
The E-6A, which is being built by Boeing, will replace EC-130
aircraft, which have been used by the Navy since 1962. The new
plane is derived from the commercial Boeing 707-300 transport
and the E-3A AWACS. which are operated by the Air Force from a
base at Tinker.
The Navy is replacing the older planes with the E-6A as part of a

Grain boycott opinions differ
TULSA (AP) - U.S. Sen. Don Nickles says Oklahoma farmers
would be hurt by a threatened South African boycott of U.S. grain
purchases, while his Democratic counterparts say it’s too small a
market to worry about.
The disagreement arose Tuesday after Nickles, R-Okla.. voted
with the minority when Congress decided to override a presidential
veto of sanctions against South Africa's apartheid government.
The congressional sanctions could prompt South Africa to stop
buying U.S. wheat, a result that "is bad for Oklahoma." Nickles told
the Washington bureau of the Tulsa World.
He said he voted against the sanctions because the action was
opposed by the Oklahoma Wheat Commission, the Farmers Union
the Farm Bureau, the Soybean Association and the Oklahoma
Wheat Growers Association.
U.S. Sen. David Boren and U.S. Rep. Glenn English, both Okla-
homa Democrats, said the threatened South African boycott would
have "little, if any, impact" on Oklahoma farmers.
American grain sales to South Africa represent less than 1 per-
cent of all U.S. grain exports of corn, barley, wheat and rice accord-
ing to the Department of Agriculture. Boren’s office said.
South Africa purchased about two-tenths of 1 percent of U S
wheat exports in the last marketing year and in the previous market-
ing year it ranked 72nd among countries buying wheat and grain
from the U. S.. Boren’s office said.
English said that when South Africa does buy grain, it often
ships the grain on to other countries. He said the action by Congress
would bar South Africa from exporting some agricultural commod-
ities to the U.S., where they compete with domestic produce.
South African Foreign Minister Roelof Botha threatened a boy-
cott when it appeared Congress was about to impose sanctions.
The last-minute threats were really just a clever propaganda
ploy... to mislead farmers and farm-state members of Congress, "
