He was employed by Inland' Steel for the past 32 years, AMSTERDAM (UPI)-A24- ycar-old Iranian went berserk on a crowded Dutch airliner flying high over the Atlantic Saturday, demanded the piano return to Canada and slashed a 14-ycar-old' girl with a knife before being finally subdued by the plane crew.

The girl, Martha Nljhuis, one of 101 passengers aboard KLM. Royal Dutch Airlines jet from Montreal to Tehran, was, treated at a hospital for face and hand wounds when the plane landed at Amsterdam, KLM officials said. Trouble first started when a man, identified only as a 24-year-old Iranian metal worker from Toronto, became violent and said he wanted to go back to Canada. The man was overpowered by the plane's crew and tied up in the tail section of the aircraft. Somehow he managed to cut himself free with a pocket knife with which he then slashed the girl.

He was subdued again and was handed over to police on arrival at Amsterdam Airport. The Iranian told police he had a sudden "black out" before stabbing the girl, a police spokesman said. He identified the prisoner only as M.R.Z. The police spokesman said the man's motives were unclear but he apparently did not want to go to Iran. "At first the man, who had been in Canada for 11 months, did not want to go back to his homeland," the spokesman said.

But he finally gave in and accepted a ticket sent to him by his father. "Once in the plane he probably regretted his decision. Knowing it was too late he be-gan a 1 i and finally stabbed her with that knife," the spokesman said. The Iranian will go before a public prosecutor next week.

Joilct Schcrcr- ville. The Homebuildors Association of Indiana has challenged the governor's Information on sales tax returns If fipecullive builders are forced to pay sales tax on materials. John Billiard, state president of the association, said the association supports Gov, Edgar I). Whilcomb's drive to block loop- noies ana cut excess eovern- ment spending. But Whitcomb has been "misled" if he believes taxing speculative builders would draw in about $5 million In sales tax annually, Bullard said.

Speculative builders construct a house and 'gamble' someone will buy It. Often they build only four or five homes a year. Contract builders builders who have a written contract to construct a home or building already are charged sales tax. In 19C4 speculative builders were excluded from the new sales tax law because the indus try already is beset with more than its share of problems, Bul lard said. Charging sales tax would re duce the number of houses built on speculation by 1,500 a year.

BULLARD SAID the exemp tion has worked. In the past four years speculative building has grown from about 10 per cent to about 20 per cent of the actual market. About 20,000 single family dwellings were built in Indiana last year, Bullard said. About 4,000 of these were speculative houses. If these 4,000 had yielded sales tax, assuming the houses cost $10,000 for materials and $10,000 for labor, the state would have collected only $300,000, Bullard said.

"I doubt if the state would make anything," he said. With a sales tax looming over the heads of speculative builders, the builders would stop 'gambling' on the sale of houses. The cost of the sales tax would be passed along to the buyer. Workers would be laid off and 1,500 houses per year would not be built, Bullard said. The 1,500 bouses not built would mean a loss of about $3 million in taxable property for the state.

The situation could actually strain the tax base and cause property taxes to increase, Bullard said. The association is composed of more than 25 local associa tions. Members of the Northern Indiana Homebuilders Associa tion met Saturday to plan how they can get the information to the public, Bullard said. The state organizaiton is plan ning a letter-writing campaign to Indiana legislators. Burglars Hit 2 Posts HAMMOND Two American Legion posts were burglarized Friday morning in two seperate breakins.
