AILDIT10NS rap TESS T--xty fat WmtaM Church to open own school for Kingman kids By STEVE DANIELS KINGMAN In a typical month, a recent survey by the National Institute of reports, more than 5,000 secondary schoolteachers in the United States are attacked In school In the same period, say the authors of the $2.4 million study: 2.4 million students, 11 percent of the nation's secondary school enrollment, and 12 percent of the nation's 1 million teachers are robbed; About 232,000 junior and high school students, or 1.3 percent, report being attacked at school. The report notes that although teenagers spend at most 25 percent of their waking hours in school, "40 percent of the robberies and 36 percent of the assaults on urban teen-agers occurred in school." Moreover, some observers view the increasing availability of drugs and alcohol in public schools as further evidence of a widespread moral decay. If that were not enough, they say, at the end of 12 years of school Johnny still can't read. These concerns have prompted the 300-member congregation of the Manza-nita Baptist Church here to begin its own fj school. In September, the church will open classrooms for about SO students in grades 1 through 12 whose parents will pay $50 per month per child to send their chil1-dren to a Christian school.

"There is a need to put education back into the churches where schools originated," said Billy Burchfield, assistant director of the extension department for Accelerated Christian Education, a Texas-based education corporation that has provided the curriculum to 2,000 new Christian schools since 1970. Burchfield calculated that ACE has opened new schools across the country Continued on Page B-2 What began as a beautiful day for a mara- the Bonne Bell 10,000 meter run Sunday.

The study, financed with a federal grant, had high praise for the Counly Public Defender's Office, but said major changes should be made in the counsel appointment program, which supplements the public defender operation.

The county spent $644,000 last year for private lawyers to represent indigents who could not be represented by the public defender's staff.

"The Orientals pav $1,400 per pound for cattle gallstones they say have Energy idea meant ruin for inventor By GRANT E. SMITH As a teen-ager, T. Henry Moray built a gadget similar to a crystal radio set, and when it made a small light bulb flicker, he thought he'd tapped a huge undercover reservoir of "radiant energy." Until his death in 1974, Moray pursued "radiant energy" with a passion felt by few men.

The pursuit was not a rewarding one. It exhausted his fortune, endangered his life and his family's, perhaps resulted in his being excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and surrounded him and "radiant energy" with a veil of mystery. Shortly before this death, The Arizona Republic interviewed Moray in his Salt Lake City home. He was 81 at the time and suffered from Parkinson's disease, which made it difficult for him to complete sentences when speaking. "I just can't think what the next word should be, and while I'm trying to remember it I often forget what I started out to say," he explained.

His son, John Moray, who has been working with him since 1948 and picked up the pursuit where his father left off, did most of the talking. The elder Moray would stop his son occasionally the correct a statement or interject further explanation. Continued on Page B-2 seconds ahead ot second-place win Cook, 13, of Northridge, Calif. He said a second committee of from the Maricopa County Bar Association, the State Bar of Arizona, the court administrators office, the public defender's office, and the County Board of Supervisors might also be formed to study the proposal. "We're told we might be able to improve the quality and reduce the cost, which is a good.

The study group recommended that the list of attorneys signed up to accept cases be reduced sharply and that the system of rotating assignments be eliminated.

In addition, the study group said- ah administrator of the program should be hired, two full-time investigators should be available to the attorneys and a law student intern program should be developed for support services.

GLENDALE Annette Smith had everything going for her until a highspeed automobile accident seven years ago robbed her of 95 percent of her sight. Mrs. Smith had been a fashion editor for the now-defunct New York Herald Tribune, and the job had given her access to luminaries of the theater and fashion words.

Songwriter Burt Bacharach, she recalled, was an up-and-coming fashion writer who frequently wrote articles for her paper. Later, she married a successful engineer for U.S. Steel and they had four daughters. But things were beginning to crumble even before the accident. Her husband quit his job, and the Smiths came to Arizona to find their fortune.

a great help, or a run-derance, to police investigators. "We'd like citizens to help, but if they don't use some common sense they can really make matters worse," Phoenix police traffic investigator Jim Middleton said. Middleton suggests the first thing a witness who is not involved in an accident should do is to avoid becoming a part of the accident. "Obviously, if an accident happens right in front of. your car, steer out of the way as carefully as you can.

There's no future in getting involved that way," Middleton said. Some of the things witnesses can do to help are: -Call police or ask someone else to go to a phone and call. -Find out if anyone is seriously injured and apply first aid if you're qualified. Help direct traffic around or away from the accident. -Turn off the ignition of the cars involved if they are still running.
