(AP) An estimated 125 people turned out Tuesday to help Marshalltown authorities search for 20-year-old Thomas Ersland, who has been missing since March 5.

Their efforts failed, however. Police organized eight teams, which set out from the Marshalltown National Guard Armory. They combed the Iowa River area on horseback using dogs looking for any sign of the missing man, who is mentally retarded. Volunteers said they joined in the effort either because they knew the man and his family, or because they felt it was their community duty. Illinois psychic Greta Alexander had told authorities to search the northwestern part of the city, feeling Ersland may have fallen into a pit or well while walking.

Chief of Detectives Ron Galloway on Monday asked residents of northwest Marshalltown to check yards, cisterns and wells. Galloway said the effort would be continued today.

By JONATHAN ROOS UMliltr Staff Writer A state agency has recommended the teaching certificate of Paul Hawkins, a former Anamosa junior high school instructor convicted of a sex offense involving two elementary school-age boys, be suspended indefinitely.

The Iowa Professional Teaching Practices Commission also proposed that Hawkins be required to meet a set of conditions before he could try to regain his teaching certificate. They include furnishing assurances from psychiatrists or other experts that he likely would not repeat the offense. Also, the commission suggested limiting any future teaching by Hawkins to only the upper grades. The agency's recommendations will be forwarded to the state Board of Educational Examiners for final action. Hawkins taught in the Anamosa schools three years before resigning last spring.

He was charged last summer with two counts of lascivious acts in connection with his association with two boys through scouting activities. The boys were pupils in the Anamosa School District but were not enrolled in Hawkins' classes. He was convicted of the charges last November, given a pair of five-year suspended sentences and placed on probation with a major condition that he continue psychotherapy. The actions of the Professional Teaching Practices Commission were based on a complaint filed against Hawkins by Anamosa Junior High School Principal Walter Fortney.
