"t 0 Page 2-Thursday, February 12, 1981-The Michigan Daily Atlanta murders work of one, ATLANTA (UPI) - A top medical examiner, likening the case to that of "Jack the Ripper," said yesterday he believes one person with a sexual or, racial "hangup" is responsible for the slayings of 15 Atlanta black children. Dr. Larry Howard, director of the Georgia Crime Laboratory, also disclosed that at least one of the victims was garroted with a rope. Eighteen children have disappeared, and authorities previously said they believed more than one killer was in- volved. THE BODIES OF 15 of the children have been found, and the three other children are officially listed as missing in the macabre string of murders and disappearances that started in July 1979. Referring to the case of Terry Loren- zo Pue, 15, one of the most recent vic- tims, Dr. Howard said, "a rope or some rough material had gone around the neck. I suspect it was in the nature of a rope. It had a woven pattern. "I assume he was garroted from the back," Howard said in an interview. "That's the way you would approach somebody if you wanted to do'that." HOWARD SAID the killer had used a "Japanese stranglehold" on another victim whose body was examined in a county laboratory. Such a hold involves wedging a person's neck in the crook of the elbow. "It's a very difficult hold to break," said Howard. Pue's body was found Jan. 23. He had been strangled, as had four others. Some of the victims have been stabbed, others shot or asphyxiated. The cause of death in five of the killings has not been established. Howard, who has investigated hun- dreds of murders during the 11 years he has been head of the state's forensic services, said one man is responsible for the slayings of the 15 children. "I suspect it is one person," said Howard. "There is such a dearth of in- formation. When there is such a lack of information, it's always one person." The killer, said Howard, apparently is a person "with some kind of sexual hangup or racial hatred." But he said investigators have found nothing to in- dicate the race of the killer.

American Cancer Society THIS SRCE CONTRIBUTED AS A PUBLIC SERVICE (Continued from Page 1) Dougherty would not say precisely what libraries he will ultimately recommend for elimination, but he did say that those named in the contingen- cy plans are not the most essential in the system. The Social Work Library contains materials that probably exist in other locations, Doughtery said, and the smaller libraries may be too specialized. MARK SULLIVAN, a technical assistant at the Bureau of Government Library, said that his unit acts as a departmental library for faculty mem- bers of the Institute of Public Policy Studies, rather than serving the average LSA student. When deciding on the cuts, Dougherty said highest priority will be given to the library's distinguished research collec- tions, which he compares to those at Harvard and Yale. Lowest on the priority list are ac- tivities the director said could be reac- tivitated if the budget were restored at some future time. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports FALN members found guilty CHICAGO-A federal court jury found 10 suspected members of the Puer- to Rican terrorist group FALN guilty yesterday on federal charges stem- ming from bombings and attempted bombings in the Chicago area. The 10, termed by a prosecutor, "members of a clandestine army" with no regard for the law or human life, were convicted on all counts of seditious conspiracy, armed robbery, interstate transportation of stolen vehicles and violations of weapons laws. The defendants were not in court after the trial's opening. When they disrupted proceedings and contended they could not be tried in U.S. courts because they were prisoners of war in their fight for Puerto Rican indepen- dence: They refused to present a defense, saying they should be tried by an international tribunal. Dwyer reunited with family NEW YORK-Free-lance writer Cynthia Dwyer, expelled from Iran as a spy, returned home yesterday to a joyous family reunion at the end of a nine- month stay in a Tehran prison as America's "53rd hostage." Dwyer, 49, of Amherst, N.Y., was reunited privately with her husband, John, and their children at New York's Kennedy Airport where her flight arrived from Zurich, Switzerland. Dwyer went to Iran last April to write about the Iranian revolution as a sympathizer of the new regime, but was arrested May 5 following the abor- tive U.S. hostage rescue attempt. She spent nine months in Tehran's notorious Evin prison on espionage charges. State differs with survey LANSING-State officials denied yesterday that Michigan-once the base of a booming auto industry-now has developed the most unattractive climate for manufacturers in the continental United States. But a top business leader agreed with the essential findings of the study by the Chicago accounting firm Alexander Grant & Co.-that Michigan's high taxes and wage rates, strong unionism and expensive worker's and unem- ployment compensation systems give it the worst business climate among the 48 contiguous states. Results of the study-similar to earlier findings-were released Tuesday. State board approves borrowing of $500 million LANSING-The State Administrative Board approved yesterday the long- delayed borrowing of $500 million to ease Michigan's cash flow problems. The unanimous vote at a special meeting presided over by Gov. William Milliken approved the unusual negotiated sale of short-term notes to a New York-based syndicate headed by the investment firm of Solomon Brothers at a rate of 10.5 percent-described as reasonable under current tight money market conditions. The funds-mainly needed to cover upcoming school aid and revenue sharing payments-will be paid back in September. Body of lost boy found in California wilderness SAN DIEGO-A lone hiker came across the body of a 9-year-old boy lost for four days in the wilderness of mile-high Mount Palomar yesterday, two miles from a base camp where 400 people were taking part in San Diego County's biggest search. Discoyery of the bodymarked a tragic ending to the massive search for Jimmy Beveridge, son of Larry and Jackie Beveridge of Spring Valley, Calif. The boy became separated from his brothers, Rob: 6, and Jeff, 7, on a hiking trail during a family camping trip last Saturday. The hunt continued for one of the searchers who has not been seen since Sunday. Koch insults residents New York Mayor Edward Koch said yesterday he only meant to praise when he implied he could detect residents of drought-stricken Greenwich, Conn., by their smell, but some Greenwich residents were not flattered. Koch has been trying to encourage city residents to save water, and on Tuesday he pointed to the Greenwich situation. Koch noted that with Green- wich reservoirs down to a 27-day supply, townspeople have been asked to cut water use by 60 percent. "That means people there don't take showers every day any more," explained New York's mayor. He proceeded: "It's getting so you can tell when someone comes from Greenwich, Connecticut. We don't want that to happen in New York City." Greenwich First Selectman Ruth Sims called the remark crude and said it made light of a "serious situation." Proxmire urges more cuts WASHINGTON-Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.), long-time foe of excess spending, yesterday called President Reagan's proposed $50 million budget cuts "far too feeble" to avoid disastrous deficits and more inflation. And President Ronnin Barnard of the U.S. Savings Leauge Association urged adoption of "double duty" tax cuts that will encourage both savings and investments to stimulate the economy and fight inflation. %w i :fchtgan 19atil Vol. XCI, No. 114 Thursday, February 12, 1981 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
