(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. ELECTROLUX World Famous Electrolux Vaccums & Floor Polishers.

(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.

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.
