Young housewife wins pancake race
OLNEY, England, March 2 (UP!) — Susan Hillier, a 25-
year-old housewife, won the traditional Olney Pancake
Race today in a time of one minute, one second.
The race was part of a traditional Shrove Tuesday
competition with Liberal, Kans. Liberal holds a 14-11 lead
in the series which began in 1950 with a challenge to Olney
from Liberal.
At the finish line of the 415-yard race from Olney's
market square to the village church, Susan Hillier
received the traditional winner’s kiss from verger John
Soal.
“I'm very tired,” said Susan, who was second in last
year’s race at Olney. “But I thought I had a very good
chance of winning the race from the beginning.”
Among the hundreds of spectators who cheered the
skillet-carrying contestants was a native of Liberal,
where later today a group of women will seek to beat the
Olney winner’s time.

cancer, was a key witness in
the case and — in an unusual
move — asked a federal court

The government, in a legal
brief filed Monday, identified
the nurses being investigated,
although not charged, as Mrs.
Leonara M. Perez, 30, a former
Ann Arbor resident now living
in Chicago, and Filipina B.
Narciso, 29, of Ypsilanti. Both
women were questioned last
November by the grand jury,

was looking forward to this,” he said. “I’ve seen several

An open secret of the annual International Pancake
Race competition between the women of Liberal and
Olney, England is that the pancakes used in the race are
rarely eaten.
This year, however, a selfstyled prospector from New
Mexico brought a 20-year-old sourdough starter to
southwest Kansas to make what he modestly said would
be the best pancakes “south of Bethel, Alaska or north of
the Lost Dutchman Mine in Arizona.”
Russell Benedict, sporting a moustache and a flat hat
pushed over curly gray hair, said he planned to make sure
the pancakes he cooks for today’s 27th annual race are
eaten.
“Something, not necessarily somebody, is gonna eat
which has not handed down any
indictments.
The action was the first
public acknowledgment that the
government was building a
case against anyone.
The FBI entered the case last
Aug. 15 after more than 40
cases of breathing failure, 11 of
them fatal, led hospital officials
to suspect mass murder and
attempted murder.
Authorities said at least six of
the deaths were suspicious
enough to arouse fears that
someone was injecting a drug,
based on curare, a powerful
muscle-paralyzing South Ameri
can poison used by Indians on
the tips of hunting spears, into
the patients.
Thomas O’Brien, an Ann
Arbor attorney who represents
the two nurses, said he will
oppose the government request
on grounds the women were not
indicted.
these pancakes,” said Benedict, 52, on the eve of the race.
Competitors in previous races have used ordinary
pancakes from batter provided by a brand-name flour
maker for the race over a 415-yard course. Benedict beard
about the competition while passing through Kansas a
month ago, and after meeting with race officials he was
invited to cook pancakes for the race.
A gallon of his special batter — which he said contained
whole wheat flour, white flour, soy flour and “good Indian
New Mexico blue com”—was flown to England to be used
in the Olney portion of the race.

Escapees sought
JESUP, Ga. (UP!) — Police were searching Monday
night for three men who escaped from the Wayne County
Jail.
Police identified the escapees as Willie Gibbs, 20, James
Lee Jenkins, 19, and Alvin Dobson, 19, all of Brunswick.
The three men were being held on armed robbery
charges in the Feb. 14 holdup of a service station in
Wayne, police said.
Ga. Power asks hike
ATLANTA (UPI) — Hie Georgia Power Co. has asked
the Federal Power Commission to approve a 125.9 millinn
wholesale rate increase for its 50 municipal customers.
Monday the utility said the rate hike would amount to
about 34 per cent.
The increase would not affect electrical cooperatives,
the company said, but only municipalities which buy elec
ticity at wholesale rates and resell it to residents.
A separate increase for the cooperatives will be sought
later this month, the company said.
Russell building
ATLANTA (UPI) — Legal setbacks have not caused a
group of minority contractors to abandon demands for
“equitable participation” in construction of the >77
million Richard B. Russell federal office building.
J. Herbert Williams, executive director of the Atlanta
Associated Contractors and Trade Council, Monday
invited Jack Eckerd, administrator of the General
Services Administration, to come to Atlanta to meet with
the group.

Guhl to run
DECATUR, Ga. (UPI) — DeKalb County Commission
Chairman Bob Guhl plans to run for reelection in
November and claims his administration has been
“clean” despite his indictment on invasion of privacy
charges.
Guhl Monday said he was “vindicated” by a court
ruling last week that a jury cannot hear 22 allegedly
illegal tape recordings seized from the commission
offices. The ruling is being appealed.
Guhl is still under indictment on charges related to the
alleged secret taping of private conversations.
“I put my administration up against any other in the
United States. There is no other as level and clean as we
are,” Guhl said.
