No . Troops were requested by Colombia he said adding that the United Stales has Complete Confidence in the ability of the colombian police and Mili tary to fight the drug Cartel. Although Fitzwater said . Advisers will be sent to train the colombians in using the equipment he emphasized that we do not anticipate that they would be in a combat role the $65 million package will come in addition in $2.5 million in Security Aid to help colombians protect their judges the principal targets of assassination by drug traffickers said administration sources speaking on condition of anonymity. Fitz Waler said More Money for Colombia would be announced when Bush unveils his anti drug strategy sept. 5. Fit water said the Money would be drawn from a special fund available to the while House for emergencies. The state department also was sending two Bell helicopters to the South american nation Friday to help police spokesman Richard Boucher said in Washington. The Aid comes after bomb attacks in the colombian City of Medellin Home of the world s largest cocaine Cartel and the declaration of War by drug lords against the colombian government. The bombings followed a nationwide crackdown against the powerful drug underworld prompted by the assassination of Luis Carlos Galan.

Continued from Page 1 president Bush s july statement in sup port of an eventual permanent base on the Earth s Moon and a manned trip to Mars. Quayle declared we american shave been opening new frontiers throughout our history and we will continue to do so. Today space is America s five hours after the rendezvous with Neptune the spaceship made its closest pass by Triton at 2 10 . A flyby that was confirmed when signals reached Earth at 6 16 . The four hour six minute delay is the time it takes voyager s radio signal to travel the 2.75 billion Miles to Earth. The array of information on Nep tune s largest Moon had scientists if any thing More excited than they were about Neptune itself. Triton will upstage Neptune. It s filled with Hummocky rippling terrain Terrile said. It looks like there s All kinds of fault systems All Over the place said Lau rence Soderblom of the . Geological Survey. The faults suggest that Triton May Nave experienced quakes at one time. Later Joseph Boyce. A Nasa geologist said there was abundant evidence of ice volcanism in the latest pictures. He referred to volcanoes that once spewed Frozen natural Gas or other inc like substance rather than molten Rock. Voyager s newest photos of Triton received Friday morning showed a smooth feature looking somewhat like a dry Lake bed that Boyce said measured several Hundred Miles across. It looked like it could be Crater of a Volcano Boyce said. It lookalike some sort of feature flooded by material and the material is probably Volca Nic the voyager Mission found similar evidence of icy volcanic flows on Ura Nus Moon Ariel in 1986 and earlier found Active Fulfur spewing volcanoes on to a Moon of Jupiter. Boyce emphasized there is no Evi Dence yet that Triton s icy Volca imm is currently Active but said the smooth floor of the Crater unmarked by meteor Ite Impact craters indicates that the ice Volcano May have been Active within the last million years or so. Earlier Bradford Smith head of Voy Ager s photographic imaging team at Nasa s Jet propulsion Laboratory had described Triton s surface in photos taken thursday As extremely strange and the photos showed Long fault lines ridges Low lying Cliffs and ice structures of various sorts like Glacier scientist Torrance Johnson said. While difficult to interpret the Early photos of Triton gave the same impression As if you stepped out onto some strange and alien surface with what appears to be a Blue Pink and White Topography that is closer to Flat than big mountains said Smith who called the pictures just Short of voyager 2 sent this closeup ice of the surface of Triton one of Neptune s Moons. At 11 59 p.m., signals showed that voyager had been bombarded by dust particles up to 100 times a second As it passed through the plane containing Neptune s rings lab technician Donald Gurnett said. The particles each about a Millionth of a Yard across the size of the particles in cigarette smoke did not damage the spacecraft Gurnett said. Scientists announced on thursday that voyager discovered two More tiny Moons orbiting the solar system s fourth largest planet a 60-Milc-wide Moon designated 1989 n5. And the even smaller 1989 n6, which is a Mere 30 Miles wide. That brought the number of Neptune s Moons to eight including the two Moons detected from Earth Triton and nereid and four found earlier by voyager. Voyager also found a Complete ring of debris encircling Neptune although it was at first thought to be a partial ring or ring arc. Voyager photos also indicated a ring arc orbiting farther from Neptune almost certainly is also a Complete ring. During its flight past Neptune and Triton voyager was programmed to shoot radio Waves for a study of their atmospheres measure changes in Distant Starlight to study the rings and search for others and take its Best but still 2.9-Mil lion Milc Distant pictures of s hectic schedule also included numerous measurements of Nep tune s atmosphere in an Effort to under stand its 400-Mph winds High Altitude Clouds and its Earth size great dark spot and other calculated voyager s position during the Neptune flyby As nearly 2.75billion Miles from Earth. But the satellite has travelled a curving path totalling 4.43 billion Miles since it was launched in1977, exploring Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1981 and uranus in 1986.earlier pictures of Triton suggested the backward orbiting Moon had meteor Ite Impact craters and possibly glaciers of Frozen natural Gas on its Pink and Bluc occasional trajectory corrections and engineering wizardry to a space probe built with 1960s technology. Nasa engineers said thursday that they managed to get voyager to within 20 Miles of where it was supposed to be after the Long Baa shooting said one Engi Neer. Erding to offer oktoberfest rooms after All by Steve Taylor Munich Bureau Munich West Germany who had written of Floc Erding billeting facility As a place to stay during oktoberfest can change their plans. The Munich military Community in desperate need of extra Beds has decided to save the facility from being closed. The 17th air Force had planned to shut the 250-bed facility North of Munich and turn it Over to the West German government next thursday. Maj. Greg Smith a spokesman for the 17th air Force at Sembach a West Germany said earlier this month that the decision was based on the Cost of renovation. Facility manager Etc Blue said the building needs a new heating system and roof As Well As cosmetic repairs. But the Munich military Community has decided to take Over the operation Friday said it. Col. John Lovo the Community s director of engineering and housing. We needed the extra space Lovo said. He said about 700 requests for rooms at the Munich american guest House were denied during the last month Lovo said reservations for september will be accepted beginning monday including those for the world famous Beer fast that begins sept. 16. Reservations will be accepted Only at the Erding facility. The Telephone number is civilian 08122-6081. Room rates at the facility will Rise though. Under the air Force some appropriated funds were used to operate the facility Lovo said. The Munich military Community however will use Only non appropriated funds forcing the Cost to increase he said. Lovo said single rates probably will be about $18, about half As much As a room at the Munich american guest House but still More than the $6 per single that Erding previously charged. The Transfer which normally would have taken about six months was done in record time Lovo said. The air Force worked super with us on the Transfer he said. Munich military officials Are putting together a Complete renovation plan for the facility Lovo work should begin in fiscal 1990, he said. Erding is about 35 Miles from Mcgraw Cavern and the Munich american guest House. But the facility is a five minute walk from Munich s suburban train s6
