Sinatra awaits
word from
searchers
By MIKE GOODKIND
Associated Press Writer
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP)
— Frank Sinatra has returned
home to await word from rescue
teams inching their way up the
mountain where a plane
carrying the singer’s mother
was believed to have crashed.
San Bernardino County Sher
iff Frank Bland offered slim
hope that 82-year-old Natalie
“Dolly” Sinatra or any of the
three other persons aboard the
twin-engine Lear jet could have
survived.
Data projected from radar
tracking of the plane before it
disappeared Thursday
indicated the chartered craft
had slammed into the 9,000-foot
level of Southern California’s
highest peak at a speed of 345
miles per hour, Bland said.
Two teams totaling about 35
members of the sheriff’s Search
Stork Club
LITTLE MISS DUNN
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Dunn of
Barnesville announce the birth
of a daughter Jan. 4 at the
Griffin-Spalding Hospital.
Undivided attention
and Rescue Team set out from
both the north and south sides of
the mountain Friday.
The men spent a shivering
night on the slopes of 11,502-foot
Mt. San Gorgonio awaiting
dawn and the chance to resume
their search today, a spokes
man said.
Four helicopters from the
sheriff’s aero squadron were to
join the search, according to
Capt. Terry Jagerson, com
mander of the squadron.
He said the area where the
plane was believed to have gone
down was covered by up to six
feet of snow. Efforts to find the
plane were expected to be
hampered because its all white
color offers no contrast to the
surrounding terrain.
Besides Mrs. Sinatra, the
plane was carrying Mrs. Antho
ny Carboni, widow of a physi
cian and a friend of the enter
tainer’s mother, said Frank Si
natra Jr., who drove his motor
home from a singing engage
ment in El Centro, Calif., to the
Rialto Airport headquarters of
the search team.
The pilot was identified as
Donald Weier, 36, and the copi
lot w'as Jerold Foley, 43, both of
Las Vegas, said a spokesman
for Jet Avia, the company that
provided the airplane to carry
the singer’s mother to her son’s
opening night performance at
Caesars Palace.
After learning of his mother’s
disappearance Thursday, Si
natra went on stage anyway.
“Yeah, and he sounded great,”
said a spokesman.

Trio held
in death
of girl
NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) - A
teen-ager and the aunt and
uncle of a 16-year-old girl found
dead in their house have been
charged with beating the men
tally disturbed girl to death,
authorities said today.
Allen Crawford and his wife,
Mary Elizabeth Crawford, of
Palmetto, were charged with
murder along with a 16-year-old
juvenile, who was not identified.
The dead girl, Elaine Craw
ford, died of “a brutal beating,”
sheriff’s deputy Dennis
Lassitter quoted the county
coroner as ruling.
She had many bums and
bruises on her body, Lassitter
said.
He said representatives of the
state Department of Family
and Children’s Services dis
covered the girl’s body at her
house Friday after receiving a
complaint that the girl had been
abused and neglected.
The girl had been staying with
the Crawfords for the past 21
months, said sheriff’s inves
tigator Ronnie Thompson.
Lassitter said Elaine Craw
ford was “a badly mentally dis
turbed person, real serious,
catatonic.”
An investigation was contin
uing in the case, and more ar
rests were possible, he said.
Thompson said the uniden
tified juvenile would be tried as
an adult in Superior Court.
Juveniles normally are tried
as such, but Coweta Dist. Atty.
William Lee Jr. said that in
capital cases persons of any age
are subject to trial as adults in
Superior Court.

News of religion
They are studying together
ROME, Italy (AP) — For the first time in history,
Protestants and Roman Catholic students are studying
side-by-side at a center on missions to undeveloped
regions at Rome’s Pontifical University.
Under a grant from the Lilly Endowment of
Indianapolis, Ind., 10 students from the School of Theology
at Claremont, Calif., are taking courses on methods to
help provide food in areas of hunger.
The study program, “Agrimissio” (Agricultural Mis
sions), includes courses on food deficits, rural develop
ment, cooperatives, land reform, nutrition, health, crop
and livestock production and tropical environmental
management.

Church in Plains, Ga., the Rev. Bruce Edwards, is
scheduled to lead an ecumenical prayer service at the
Lincoln Memorial on Jan. 20, the day that a member of his

Lutherans total 70,508,327
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) - Lutherans in the world
now total 70,508,327, according to a survey by the
Lutheran World Federation. The count is about 100,000
less than that reported a year ago. The figures indicated
declines continued in Europe and North America, but in
creases were registered in Asian and African churches.
Jews obligated to help
NEW YORK (AP) — The Synagogue Council of
America, representing all three wings of American
Judaism, says that U.S. Jews are obligated to assist all
Jews emigrating from the Soviet Union, regardless of
their destination.
The stand, worked out by a task force on Soviet Jewry,
maintains that Jewish agencies have a duty to “en
courage and facilitate the migration of Jews in the Soviet
Union who seek to live in freedom,” whether they are
going to Israel or to other countries, such as the United
States.
New Baptist center starts
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) — North Phoenix Baptist Church
broke ground last week for a new $5.5 million worship and
Christian education facility which a church spokesman
says will be the nation’s largest worship center. It is to be
erected on a 40-acre plot, and is due for completion in
December, 1977.
Women’s work
Women heading families
are at the bottom of the
economic ladder, The
Conference Board reports. In
1975, they had a median in
come of $6,844, less than half
of that of a husband-wife
household, also, women are at
the head of 13 per cent of all
U.S. families.
Health aid
s4l-billion
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -
Hospitals and medical staffs
are to blame for part of the in
crease in medicaid and medi
care costs, U.S. Sen. Herman
Talmadge, D-Georgia, said Fri
day.
Talmadge said he will present
legislation in the next Congress
to provide a savings incentive
for hospitals to cut the costs.
He also said hospital adminis
trators and medical staffs must
learn to cooperate more on
economy measures, adding that
one of his proposals will help
achieve this.
Talmadge said he also would
introduce bills to eliminate
fraud and abuse in medicaid
and medicare programs.
He said the nationwide pro
grams will cost taxpayers about
s4l billion in fiscal 1977, an
increase of $8 billion over fiscal
1976.
Talmadge, chairman of the
Senate subcommittee on health,
said these costs are rising faster
than the cost of living and must
be stopped or service cut back.
