A blinding fog early yesterday on Interstate 75 was blamed for causing a pileup of 62 vehicles, sending 46 persons to area hospitals but killing no one. Investigators said all four lanes of the interstate were blocked in the series of accidents, the first of which was reported about 9:15 a.m.

EST. ALTHOUGH 11 people involved in the mishap were admitted to hospitals, "we don't believe there'll be any fatals," said a state dispatcher at the Chattanooga Highway Patrol station some 30 miles from the accident site. Trooper Sam Garrett said there was "zero visibility" because of heavy fog at the accident site one mile south of Charleston, a Bradley County town. The pileup, which blocked interstate traffic from about 9a.m. until began in the southbound lanes near a bridge over the Hiwassee River.

GARRETT SAID all available ambulances in Bradley and McMinn counties were called to the scene of the chain-reaction accidents. He said the heavy fog also hampered rescue and clean-up operations.

THOUSANDS of anti-shah demonstrators set fire to government offices, banks, hotels and stores yesterday and ransacked the British Embassy.

The visits to black churches also included in Butcher's schedule have long been a tradition for Democratic politicians, but few Republican candidates for statewide office have attempted to break the solidly Democratic voting patterns in the black community here. After visits to Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church and Mount Olive CME Cathedral, Alexander said he is encouraged by his reception here. "THERE IS a changing attitude in the black community," he told reporters. "I'm not sure how far it will go this year, but there is a growing attitude among both black and white voters that they would be better off participating in two-party competition." Alexander remained for the service at both churches, saying he has heard some congregations have been offended because Butcher and U.S.
