AP-Hundreds of people stayed away from their homes today as workmen began the delicate task of righting a derailed tank car that ruptured, killing eight people with a ghostlike, yellow cloud of chlorine. Eighty-nine people were injured. Salvage experts also had to contend with a loaded chlorine tanker, a tanker of liquefied petroleum gas, one filled with ammonium nitrate-which is a highly explosive base for fertilizer-and five others loaded with caustic chemicals. Governors, Carter to discuss energy
WASHINGTON AP-The nation's governors met with President Carter Monday to press their demands for federal action to step-up energy production and for less Washington interference with state energy development plans. The White House meeting, second in a two-day conference on energy production, followed a speech by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance which called for promotion of domestic energy to relieve the dependence on Arab oil. Americans favor less Intervention
WASHINGTON AP-The American people say they want less U.S. In- volvement in the Middle East, whether in selling warplanes or in pressuring Israel or Egypt to make concessions, an Associated Press-NBC News poll shows. And the survey found indications that the public is growing disenchanted with the Israeli negotiating stance in the current series of peace moves. About 57 percent of those questioned opposed the proposed U.S. sale of warplanes to all three countries-Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
