QUINCY, Ill. (AP) - a man was arrested of charges of setting his cousin’s house on fire in western Illinois early Sunday and killing her five children, authorities and a relative said. Four other people were injured in the blaze, including one who was air- lifted to a Springfield hospital in critical condition, said Quincy police Sgt. Doug Schlueter. a relative said the children’s parents, who tried vainly to save them, were among the injured, and that their father was the most seri- ously hurt. The bodies of four boys and a girl - ages 5 months to 10 years - were found on the second story, officials said. authorities said they arrested Zachary Q. Meeks, 27, after he was ques- tioned about the fire that began around 3 a.m. in this community along the Mississippi River and about 90 miles west of Springfield. State NewS Airline Taxes Given to Smaller Airports

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The federal government has taken billions of dollars from the taxes and fees paid by airline passengers every time they fly and awarded it to small airports used mainly by private pilots and globe-trot- ting corporate executives. Some of these “general aviation” facilities used the federal dollars - more than $7 billion over the past decade - for enhancements such as longer run- ways and passenger terminals aimed at luring traffic, an associated Press review has found. and the money comes with little oversight, and at the expense of an increasingly beleaguered air transportation system. “They’re making out like bandits,” said Bob Poole, director of transporta- tion studies at Southern California’s Reason Foundation and author of sev- eral studies on air transportation costs. “It’s not only that airline passengers are paying more than their fair share, but they’re being overtaxed to give private jets a free ride.” LoCaL NewS Bid for Simpson Book Put on Hold How to Report a Crime To report suspected on-campus LOS ANGELES (AP) - an auction for the rights to the canceled o.J.

Selig presented Mrs. Robinson with the Commissioner’s Historic Achievement Award for her work with the Jackie Robinson Founda- tion, formed in 1973 to raise schol- arship money for qualified minori- ties. Robinson died in October 1972 at age 53. “She’s made an enormous impact on our sport,” Selig said. “We are an institution with enormous social re- sponsibilities. She keeps us focused on that.” Then, speaking to Mrs. Robin- son, Selig said: “You not only made baseball better, more important you made society better.” “Whites inside only” and “Col- oreds entrance” were signs of the time when Robinson played his first game at Ebbets Field. He was sub- jected to racist remarks from players and fans alike. But Dodgers execu- tive Branch Rickey made Robinson his choice to break the color barrier because he believed he was mature enough and tough enough to survive and thrive.
