WASHINGTON (AP) - The govern-

non-prescription medications be sold
in tamper-resistant packages on a
phased schedule that will begin in 90
days. The regulation was developed
after seven people died in the Chicago
area in late September after consum-
ing capsules of Extra-Strength
Tylenol laced with cyanide.
There have been numerous product-
tampering incidents nationwide since
then.

Kay County couple killed
SUMPTER — A rural Kay County couple
was fatally burned in an explosion and fire
that destroyed their farmhouse near here
Wednesday night.
Fire officials said a powerful blast believed
to have been fueled by leaking propane that
collected underneath the house blew out all
four walls and blasted the roof into the air
about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Larry Robison, 27,
was dead at the scene from massive burns. His
wife Linda, 24, died later at a Blackwell hospi-
tal. Authorities have not released the names of
the victims, who were in their late 20s or early
30s.
Blackwell Fire Marshal Don Pierce said the
farmhouse was engulfed in flames when units
from his department, Ponca City, Tonkawa
and Braman fire departments arrived on the
scene. The blaze took nearly three hours to ex-
tinguish, and firefighters had to dig through
piles of debris to get to the couple, be said
