Daily Journal, Ukiah, Calif. Monday, March 5, 1979 Denny. Jones welfare war Ocean yields boy's sue over body near Gualala (Cont'd from Pagel) Denny said the department makes promotion decisions through a "participative management" process. No single person maites the decision. A group of senior managers does.

Was promotion retarded by group decision? "At any given point in time, that's correct," said Denny. "Some of the (temple) people that were here for years surely did not grow in their profession as others around them did. I professional growth was retarded by our actions." Denny said the department's temple members could have damaged it even without promotion if they ever had succeeded in creating case files on nonexistent people. The practice, called "dummying," results in welfare checks going to someone not entitled to them. The department also would have been damaged if a temple member stole a confidential file that was the only evidence in a pending court case or if the person covered up complaints about things like child abuse or service in a residential care home.

Never Manipulated System Denny said temple members on his staff never to his knowledge manipulated the welfare system from within and never tried to influence him. However temple staffers were sometimes unproductive at their desks because they were suffering from lack of sleep, according to Denny. They were especially "tired" on certain Mondays, said Denny, after spending most of the night driving back to Ukiah from a temple meeting in Los Angeles. Did any ever look as if they'd been beaten at a temple meeting? "None," said Denny, they just looked "tired." He said "it was never so serious that we had to put a reprimand in a person's file," but he and his supervisors had to "kick tail, you know, to get that production out of those people." Denny said the sleepy staffers improved, but "then it would happen again," more lethargy on the job, Yet Denny stressed they were "average and above-average" workers. Social services only had one serious case, he said, a temple staffer reported "sleeping in a car" while on duty.

Denny wouldn't reveal the name on grounds of personnel confidentiality. The department transferred the staffer to Fort Bragg. Denny said Jones repeatedly called him in an effort to stop the transfer. The transfer of a clandestine sleeper to the Western Front is but a footnote to Denny's war effort. The name of his ultimate defense against temple guerrillas was "Internal Security" that had nothing to do with "kicking tail," as part three will attempt to show tomorrow.

Temple members sue to recover money Georgetown, Guyana (UFI) Eight surviving members of the Peoples Temple cult, including two jailed on murder charges, have filed a counter- suit trying to get the money the sect left in Guyana banks. The papers in the suit, made public Saturday, were filed by Rex McKay, the attorney who is defending Temple members Larry Layton and CJharles E. Beikman on murder charges. The suit mentioned no figures, but the cult is believed to have well over $2 million in Guyana banks. Two weeks ago, the Guyana government filed suit setting an order to restrain three Guyana banks and Temple survivors from disposing of any Temple funds left in the three accounts.

The government is trying to get its money back from the sect for the shot- up aircaft chartered by the late Rep. Leo Ryan, in his ill-fated investigative mission to the jungle commune, as well as the costs incurred for the cleanup of the 913 bodies after the mass murder-suicides last Nov. 18. sue over Patty film SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) ABC television's three-hour movie "The Ordeal of Patty Hearst" drew far from rave reviews from the family of the newspaper heiress, who said they are considering a lawsuit over the film. Vickie Hearst, sister of the kidnapped newspaper heiress, said that the movie shown Sunday night was full of errors and misrepresented the facts.

She said that the family took particular exception to a scene that showed Patricia Hearst smiling following the Hibernia bank robbery in San Francisco during which she held a gun as a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army. The family also protested the portrayal of chief investigator Charles Bates of the FBI as in intimate friend of the family. Vickie Hearst said the family also objected to the fact that Patricia Hearst was never contacted during the making of the film. She said that most of all, the family opposed the timing of the film because Miss Hearst is trying to get a full pardon from her bank robbery conviction. She is now out of prison on a commutation of her sentence by President Carter.

The events in the movie were "certainly not pardonable material," Vickie Hearst asserted. She said the family is considering legal action, which she said would be pursued through the attorney for Catherine Hearst, mother of Patricia and Vickie. Mendocino County sheriff's deputies dealt with an unidentified torso, two arrests, and a theft during the weekend. Deputies are trying to identify a badly decomposed torso found Saturday on a Gualala beach and possibly all that remains of 10-year-old Paul Jeffory Patrick of Antioch (Contra Costa who was reported missing and presumed drowned Jan. 28 off Gualala Point Regional Park (Sonoma the sheriff's office said.

Bruce Davenport of Gualala reportedly found the headless, armless torso, with no lower legs, at Smuggler's Cove, two miles north of the Gualala River. Deputies say the torso looks like a young t)oy, perhaps the son Stanley Patrick of Santa Rosa reported missing last January. The remains are at the OrmsJDee- Ayres funeral home in Point Arena. Javier Garcia Pelayo, 23, no known address, was in county jail this morning after his Saturday evening arrest for allegedly pulling a switchblade on Rinky Dink Skate Center manager Mickey Rickle, 23, a sheriff's spokesman said. Booked for assault with a deadly weapon and illegal possession of a switchblade, Pelayo reportedly had broken skate rink rules by smoking.

When Rickle tried to throw Pelayo out, say deputies, a struggle erupted, with Pelayo allegedly pulling the knife and cutting Rickle slightly on the hand. A 13-year-old Hopland boy was in juvenile hall this morning after deputies arrested him for allegedly firing a rifle into an occupied Hopland house Saturday at 3 a.m., according to reports. The youth was arrested a few hours after the incident, in which he allegedly threatened a resident of the Center Street house but injured no one, said deputies, who suspect a domestic dispute may have sparked the boy's alleged behavior. Benjamin Lewis of Ukiah told deputies $525 worth of plywood and particle board were stolen early Friday evening from the carport of an unoccupied house he owns at the S. Dora Street and Crestview Drive intersection, reports said.
