6) Trucker killed, one hurt, in 1-40 rockslide; road shut 2B THE TENNESSE AN WnwdayDECEMBERlTlgSS MIKE MOSER Stale Writer CRAB ORCHARD, Tenn. Interstate 40 was closed yesterday because of a rockslide that caused the death of a truck driver and injured another when their vehicles collided with a boulder on the roadway, police said. Killed in the fiery crash Monday evening was William Mason, 67, of Abilene, Texas, who was driving a new truck from Virginia to his home state, said state Trooper Randy Hoover. Meanwhile, Jack Hanley, 44, of Fenton, was listed in fair condition last night at Cumberland Medical Center in Crossville. Hanley, who was driving a truck loaded with car tires, suffered head injuries, Hoover said.

"A rockslide occurred and Mason's truck struck a boulder, knocking the truck to the left side of the roadway, where it ignited in flames," said Hoover. Mason was thrown from the truck and engulfed in the flames of burning diesel fuel, which spilled onto the road from his own truck, he said. "Hanley's truck tried to go between the wreck and the boulder, but hit the rock, knocking the his own truck into the median against a rock wall," said Hoover. "It, too, burst into flames." Traffic was rerouted onto VS. 70 from the Westel community to Crab Orchard as fire and rescue personnel fought to extinguish the burning tires and wreckage.

State highway officals reopened one west-bound lane to traffic yesterday, approximately 18 hours after the accident occurred. "We will construct a temporary median closing one lane of traffic until' we are able to assess the problem" of falling rock, said Vicki Keaton, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation. "In the meantime, we will contine working on a long-term solution." Officials said another rockslide occurred in the same area the previous week. "Evidently, the weather is causing it the rain, freezing, thawing and so forth," Hoover said.

Space-camp opened its doors yesterday for 10 young future Soviet cosmonauts who conducted a simulated space mission at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. The youngsters ages 14 to 17 leave today for Houston and the Johnson Space Center to continue their U.S. tour, now in its second week.

The group seemed impressed with Spacecamp, but when asked through an interpreter what has been the best part of their tour so far, the youths shouted a unanimous "Disney World" in English. The Soviets arrived in this country on Dec 9 and spent last weekend at Disney World after touring NASA's Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canav- pral At Spacecamp, they went through a training program that included preparations involved in flying the shuttle, said camp spokesman Dave Dooling. "It's all gone quite well," said Dool- ing. He said the young Soviets also tried a little pillow-fighting Monday night with camp counselors. Accompanying the group through the camp was Chip Yarbrough, 15, of Vestavia Hills, a Birmingham suburb.

Yarbrough, who has been through five sessions of the Spacecamp's "astronaut training," was one of 1 1 American youngsters joining the Soviets for a special, abbreviated daylong session of the regular weeklong camp program. "This isn't the U.S. government versus the Russian government, it's Just some kids getting together and studying the space program," he said. The young cosmonauts said through Interpreters that they would like to see closer space cooperation between the United States and Soviet Union, possibly including a joint mission to Mars and research into the other planets.

"Someone who Is 10 responsible for an injury can wind up bearing 100 of the consequences" under the current law, said attorney Malcolm McCune.

The flight was one that McGhee allegedly had helped arrange with the FBI.

"We wanted to give him the option of either telling Lecates the Customs agent he had the information, or tipping off the FBI undercover agents he was working with," Smith said. Smith also testified that minutes after McGhee counted out $20,000 in the hotel room at a third meeting with Dorton on June 25, McGhee was arrested.
