hospital.
He had been unconscious
since July 28 from a beating he
received after he was taken
from the foster home in
Wisconsin and returned to his
natural parents.
His father William, 31, was
charged with murder.
Johnny, who had spent most
of his life in foster homes, had
been living with Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Karvanek, Tigerton,
Wis., for almost four years
when a court order forced him
to return to his natural parents
in Chicago.
Tried to Make It Easy
“When his parents wanted
him back, I knew he had to go.
I tried to make it easy. I told
him, John, you have to go back,
your father loves you. But he
ran to the top of the stairs and
cried,” Mrs. Karvanek said.
“He said ‘l’m never going
back.’ At night he’d pray,
Helicopter helps in arrests
CONYERS, Ga. (UPI) - Po
lice, aided by a bank helicopt
ter, ran down three men Thurs
day and charged them with
holding up the Citizens and
Southern Bank in Conyers. A
fourth suspect escaped but po
lice said they recovered the
$9,986 in loot.
Two men entered the Conyers
bank Thursday, showed a gun
and demanded money in a bag.
Upon leaving the bank, they
joined two other men in a car,
fled south and abandoned the
auto.
Conyers police and a C&S
helicopter kept after the men
and arrested Alvin James Bur
ney, 21, Atlanta, Howard Lewis
Ellis, 27, Lavonia, and Bobby
Burford, no age or address
given.
The FBI announced Thursday
that it had charged Leon Jones,
25, of Atlanta, with the holdup
of the Rentz Banking Co. at
DYNAMITE HELPS
LYSKDLI, Sweden (UPI)-He
was sitting on dynamite—and it
saved his life.
Leif Strndgaard, 27, a Swe
dish miner, fell 100 feet down a
shaft when the safety wires
iroke. But the box of soft
dynamite sticks he sat upon
cushioned the fall and he
escaped uninjured.
‘Please God, don’t let them
take me back’.”
But in late March the
Karvaneks drove Johnny back
into the city. “We never saw
him again until after the
beating. He looked so small in
the hospital. All bruises and so
thin. But I still had hope. I
thought it would work out and
he’d come back home to the
farm. I was going to fatten him
up,” she said softly.
Johnny was beaten July 28
after he said he wanted to go
home to the Karvaneks, police
said. He was taken to St.
Anne’s Hospital in a coma.
Doctors performed emergency
surgery for severe brain
damage.
Falls from Window
After he was admitted,
Johnny’s two brothers and two
sisters were placed in foster
homes. The move was ordered
after one of his sisters, Julie, 2,
was injured when she fell from
Rentz in South Georgia. Jones
was captured shortly after the
bank was robbed Thursday, and
police said they recovered the
$20,000 taken.
Thompson ready to argue
ATLANTA (UPI) — Both candidates in the U. S. Senate
race — Democrat Sam Nunn and Republican Fletcher
Thompson— say the subject of televised debates between
them has come up, but only Thompson has indicated he is
ready to argue anytime.
Thompson said Thursday the only condition to the
debates would be that “the format can be devised to stick
specifically to the issues.
“If it results in personalities and jabs at each other as to
who is the better lawyer or something like that, the people
just aren’t interested,” the sth district congressman said.
A spokesman for Nunn said the 33-year-old state repre
sentative has not made up his mind on whether to take
part in debates yet, and has heard very little in the way of
plans for possible debates.

apartment. Her mother was not

The Lindquists were barred
from visiting Johnny at the
hospital. Mrs. Karvanek, who
has no children of her own,
came daily to sit with Johnny.
“I talked to him all the time
about the farm. They told me
hearing is the last sense to go.
Sometimes I thought he almost
smiled at me. I don’t know if
he ever heard me,” Mrs.
Karvanek said quietly.
“He was a good kid.
Respectful. We were so proud
of him. I don’t think I ever saw
a kid so good. No, I’m not
saying he was perfect. He was
a boy, but a good boy.

long time, but I have to say

were named in warrants charg

McGovern, Shriver plan strategy
By NORMAN KEMPSTER
WASHINGTON (UPl)—Pre
dicting victory despite Pres
ident Nixon’s seemingly com
manding lead in the public
opinion polls, Sen. George S.
McGovern today called his
running mate, Sargent Shriver,
to a campaign strategy session.
Shriver canceled scheduled
appearances in the Middle West
to confer with the Democratic
presidential nominee at his
Japanese style home in Wash
ington.
McGovern said Thursday he
expects to begin closing the gap
in the polls—34 points in the
most recent Gallup Poll—by
Oct. 1 and move steadily up
until the Nov. 7 election.
“I think we will win,” he
said.
“The poll situation is much
better now than it was when I
was seeking the nomination,”
he said. “We thought it was a
good day when we hit 5 per
cent in the Gallup Poll.”
But there was little doubt
that the Democratic campaign
was having its trouble. La
wrence F. O’Brien, who has the
title of campaign chairman but
whose duties are loosely
defined, complained that the
whole operation was disorga
nized and uncoordinated.
An aide to O’Brien said the
organizational problems were
discussed during a stormy
three-hour meeting of Mc-
Govern’s top associates at the
candidate’s home Wednesday
night. He said O’Brien was
encouraged by the tone of that
session.
“This campaign has just a
few weeks to go and if this
whole campaign is not firmly in
place the day after Labor Day,
my judgment is that it will
never be in place,” O’Brien
said Thursday in an interview
with National Public Radio.
Although he has been touring
