The Michigan Daily-Friday, October 17, 1980-Page 9 Cild] From AP and UrI 4TLANTA--Police began organizing door-to-door footpatrols yesterday and community leaders signed up volun- teers for weekend searches as the in- vestigation intensified in the unsolved slayings and disappearances of 14 black children. 'The action came one day after police revealed that the body of a youth found in 1979 has been identified as one of six children previously listed as missing. THE IDENTIFICATION of the body of Alfred James Evans, 14, of Atlanta, brought to nine the number of children under age 15 killed in Atlanta or south suburban East Point in the last 15 mon- ths. Five other children are still missing. The slayings of the children, com- bined with the deaths of four toddlers and a teacher in a furnace explosion at killings a day care center Monday, have riddled the community with fear and distrust. Police have said the furnace ex- plosion was an unrelated accident, but some blacks have expressed fear that the incidents are somehow connected. THE DECOMPOSED body of Evans,- who was suffocated, was found last July four days after he disappeared, but positive identification by dental records was not made until Wednesday. Identification took so long, in part, said Lt. John Cameron of the Fulton -County Medical Examiner's office, because the child's mother insisted it was not him. Except for one 14-year-old girl for- cibly taken from her home, all the vic- tims have been boys, who wandered off on their own and vanished at intervals of about three and a half weeks: rock Atlanta AFTER THE identification of the body was announced, Atlanta Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown said some 200 police officers and 224 firefighters will begin going door-to- door Monday in an effort to interview someone in every Atlanta household about the killings. He said officers will also pass along safety tips to citizens. Some officers :greeted the proposal with scorn. ONE POLICEMAN, who asked not to be identified, said the canvasing is a good idea, but should be restricted to the low-income neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta where all the victims lived. "I think in specific areas it would be a justifiable use of manpower, but a door- to-door canvass of the entire city is ridiculous," the officer said. He called it a publicity stunt in response to pressure on city officials. THE POLICE said officers will con- duct the canvas between answering calls, but the officer said most patrolmen in Atlanta have so many calls to answer they won't have much time for canvassing. It was-also unclear how successfully the city's efforts to raise reward money was going. Mayor Maynard Jackson said Wednesday the city wanted to in- crease the reward fund from about $30,000 to $100,000 with contributions from the community. Meanwhile, the United Youth Adult Conference, a non-profit social services agency, scheduled searches over the next several Saturdays of areas where children were reported missing.

U.S. officials im- mediately alerted its nationwide net-, work of air-monitoring stations to check for fallout that might reach the United States. Officials from the Environmental Protection Agency said, however, that they do not expect any serious health hazards as a result of the explosion, which occurred at 12:30 a.m. EDT at a nuclear site in northwest China. "WE DON'T anticipate any ,significant problems in terms of health based on results from previous tests," said Harry Kelly, an EPA official. Officials estimated the size of the blast to be between 28,000 and 1 million tons of TNT-or at least 10 times larger than the explosion from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in August, 1945. If the EPA estimate is accurate that would make yesterday's blast one of the largest in China's history. In 1976, however, China set off a nuclear ex- plosion equal to four million -tons of TNT. EPA officials said the Chinese blast yesterday presented a particular hazard because it was atmospheric ex- plosion, rather than the usual un- derground tests. The officials said that it would take four to five days fpr any possible radioactive fallout to reach the United States.
