Jerry Dennis, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator, said the Grumman Goose. owned by Webber Airlines of “Wetchiket-was carrying one more passenger than authorized when it plunged into the sea near Prince of Wales Island. Dennis said in an interview Monday the aircraft was re- stricted toa pitot and 10 pas- sengers instead of the 11 pas- sengers actually on board.

The Vatican said the Pope's first publie mass will not be termed — the “Coronation Mass,” as it has been in the past, and he will not be carried on a portable throne on the shoulders of up to 12 men. “It is nqt known yet whether there will be the crowning or not,” said Rev. James Roach, the Vatican's English-language . press, spokesman. But Msgr. Orszio Cocchetti of the office for pontifical ceremonies said he doubts that a tiara, the beehive- shaped triple crowns used for papal coronations for 15 centuries, will be placed on the new pontiff’s head. Magr. Cocchetti said Pope John Paul, elected last Saturday by the conclave of cardinals, will arrive in St. Peter’a Square for the mass on foot with other Rooman Catholic Church prelates In attendance. They © will proceed from the Altar of the Confession inside St. Peter's Basilica tothe operair altar on the stairs outside. The Altar of the Confession ia the basilica's main altar, under. the Michelangelo- what Vatican archeologists say is the tomb of the Apostle Peter, the first pope. BITE ABOLISHED Also being abolished is the flax-burning rite by which a- new pope was reminded of the fleeting character of worldly glory, Msgr. Coc- chetti said. In this rite, a priest carried a cane topped with burning flax up to the pontiff and chanted three times in Latin: “Holy Father, so passes the glory of the world.” “It was dropped to make for a simpler rite over-all,” Msgr. Cocchetti said. Instead of Coronation Mass, the Vatican refers to next Sunday’s rite as a. solemn mass “starting his (the Pope's) ministry of supreme pastor." ; Meanwhile, in one of the first manifestations of the internal church problems Pope John Paul will face, a group of priests who wére forced to give up their priestly functions because they married have an- nounced they are writing to the new Pope asking him to reverse the church rulings thal caused their situation. Pope John Paul's predecessor, Pope Paul vi, had restated the policy of mandatory celibacy for priests except: for the traditional exception of those belonging to the Eastern rite. . The new Pope has not made public his feeling the issue. _ Wind plus error=Crash VICTORIA (CP) — A coro- ner’s jury ruled Monday that adverse wind conditions and a possible error in judgment by the pilot contributed to a plane crash which killed five Americans July 22, .

OTTAWA (CP) — The next stage in the govern- ment's continuing series of announcements aboul a promised economic-recovery lan will come this week, possibly Thursday morning, a treasury board spokesman said Tuesday. This time, Robert Andras, treasury board president, is to say where he expects federal departments and agencies to trim at least another $1 billion from their current and planned spending. Andras announced Aug. 17 @ program for reducing government spending by $1.5 billion, with most of the reductions to come from next year’s spending plans. He said then there would be more announcements about spending cuts. . These announcements follow Prime Minister Trudeau's nationally televised address Aug. tin which he promised to reveal a program for lifting the national economy out of its slump. He said he wanted to achieve a five per-cent real growth in output. Figures released Monday show the national economy grew at a 4.4 per-cent annual rate. It will take an increase in production of more than six per cent for the final six months of this year to achieve Trudeau's target. ; Part of this effort, Andras said in mid-August, means “cutting back on real programs and existing levels of service” provided by the government and leaving more room for private industry to grow. Andras said then that 5,000 civil service jobs would be eliminated next year and departments would be given broad goals for reducing their spending to reach the total $1.5 billion he announced then. So far, there have been few specific details from individual depart- ments to show how they will achieve the reductions set for them by Andras. ; Most of the money Andras said will be saved by the spending cuts coming this week and those announced in mid-August is to be ploughed back into programs to create jobs and ease the impact of inflation on poorer Canadians. Portugals Premier Prepares For Polls LISBON (AP) — Alfredo Nobre da Costa took over today as Portugal’s new premier and acknowledged that his cabinet may serve only for a limited time. “1 accept this job without conditions se I have the right to demand the effort and work of all the Por- tuguese people," the 55-year-old political independent said as he and his cabinet ministers were sworn in before President Antonio Ramalho Eanes. ; Facing opposition from ‘the Socialist party, which had been dismissed from power by Eanes because of a political deadlock, Nobre da Costa said. his admin- istration might give all the political parties time to “the Portuguese economy has been’ crippled’ by litical and labor unrest since an armed forces revalt in April, 1974, ended 50 years of rightist dictatorship. Nobre da Costa said Eanes’ appointment of him to replace Socialist leader Mario. Soares was coti- stitutionally correct. . The Socialists, who won the 1976 parliamentary election with 35 per cent of the vote, accused Eanes of violating the.constitution by choosing a premier not connected with the parliamentary parties. Portuguese newspapers Say one of-the primary goals of the Nobre da Costa government will be to prepare for a new national election by 1980. e Socialists: are threatening to reject Nabre da ram but are 30 votes short of the majority needed in the National Assembly for the motion to carry. California Quaking SAN FRANCISCO AP - Two moderate earthquakes and about 20 aftershocks shook buildings up and down the East San Francisco Bay area late Monday but caused no damage and no injuries. The stronger of the quakes - both centred 16 kilometres northeast of San Jose and 66 kilometres southeast of the University of California's selsmographic centre at Berkeley - hit at 5:14 p.m. local time and measured 4.2 on the Richter Scale, Berkely seismologists said, The second tremor, following four minutes later, measured 3.7, they said. Seismologists at Berkeley said about 20 aftershocks followed in the one half hour after the second tremor and were felt within a 90 kilometre radius of the earthquakes’ centre. The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increases of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude, Thus a reading of 7.5 reflects an earthquake 10 times stronger than one of 6.5.

The Canadian dollar, meanwhile, rose 3-100 to $0.8710 in New York. The price of gold, which often is used as a refuge when the dollar falls, in- creased to more than $200 an ounce in response to a U.S. government report of a $2.99- billion trade deficit during July. The deficit was the fourth-largest monthly gap ever, up from June's deficit of $1.6 billion. Reaction to the trade figures wiped out the beneficial effects of a separate government report that consumer prices rose only 0.5 per cent during July, the smaliest monthly rise since December, 1977.
