DAILY FACTS, Redlands, Calif. Monday, January 22, 1973-2 Gunmen surrender quietly NEW YORK (UPI) Four gunmen who held nine hostages for nearly two days in a sporting goods store stocked with ammunition surrendered quietly Sunday when police talked them out of dying in "a hail of bullets." The hostages had escaped in a daring break up a secret stairway. The gunmen who identified themselves with black Muslims and said they wanted to unite the world against "opressive infidels" were booked today on murder and robbery charges. One policeman was killed and two wounded in the 47-hour ordeal which began Friday night, apparently as an attempt to rob John and Al's Sporting Goods Store of guns and ammunition, as well as money. One of the gunmen was wounded in the exchange of gunfire with police.

The weary hostages escaped unharmed through the actions of Jerry Riccio, a co-owner of the Brooklyn store who knew of a stairway from the second floor to the roof. Riccio's problem was that the opening to the stairs was covered with plasterboard. After convincing the gunmen to let the hostages stay on the second floor, Riccio broke open the plasterboard when the gunmen rushed to another part of the floor believing police trying to tunnel into the building. on, we've got you covered," police on the roof yelled as the hostages scrambled up the stairs to safety. Riccio danced a jig with a fellow hostage when they had all made it.

When the hostages escaped about 1 p.m., the gunmen fired shots into the roof but none hit the hostages or their police rescuers. Then as the hours dragged by, the gunmen were convinced to give up by talking over a specially installed telephone with Deputy Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward. Dr. Thomas Matthew, a physician who had treated the wounded gunman during the long weekend, released a statement quoting the gunmen as saying earlier: "This is the end. This is glory.

We'll go out in a hail of bullets." "We used all our resources to reach their philosophy -die for paradise," said Ward, who is the civilian review board. He said he explained to them that if they had a story to tell "they had to come out alive." Police had cordoned off the area since Friday night, at times using up to 500 men. Three of the alleged gunmen, Shulab Abdul Raheem, 23, Dawd Abdullah Ar-rahm, 22, and Salih Ali Abdullah, 25, were booked on murder and robbery charges early today. A fourth suspect, Yusuef Abdullah Almussiq, 22, wounded in the shootout. with police, was booked at his hospital bed.

Graham made the suggestion Sunday at President Nixon's interfaith worship service. The initial reaction was not favorable.

"I believe that every Jew, Catholic and Protestant would agree that the Ten Commandments should be read every day in every classroom in America," Graham said in his sermon. "Our young people flounder because they are uncertain as to what is right and wrong. They wait desperately for someone to tell Speaking with a reporter later, Graham said he was making the proposal to see what the reaction would be. He said actor Charlton Heston, who starred in the movie, "The Ten Commandments," thought it was "a great idea."

"I would certainly agree with the main thesis that the Ten Commandments are as valid today as they ever were and that we have an obligation to teach them to our people and to relate them to our situation," the archbishop said. "But whether they ought to be taught in this way, that's matter, and I'm not prepared to Said the rabbi: "I know he means, that the gist of it is Ten Commandments should be taught.

But it would bring up in the minds of thousands of people the question of church and state. It would be controversial." "The Ten Commandments are the basis of moral law," Graham said.

Redlands Blvd. Redlands By United Press International Small craft warnings were posted for most of the weekend, during which heavy surf and deep swells were blamed for three boating accidents that claimed two lives and left one man in critical condition in La Jolla. The bodies of two lobster fishermen were recovered off Santa Catalina Island after their 28-foot cabin cruiser overturned in 20-foot: swells north of Avalon.

Witnesses said the victims Frank. Loehrer, 24, and Ken Thompson, 30, both of Los Angeles-were en route to San Clemente Island Saturday when the incident occurred. San Diego men were spilled into the sea off La Jolla when their 14-foot boat capsized in 6-foot surf. The craft righted itself and the propeller gashed Richard Cromer, 37, in the foot, then dragged his companion John Silvey, 26, underwater by the shirt. Cromer was released after treatment, but Silvey, who was given resuscitation ashore and whose heart and lung action was later stopped, remained in critical condition.

Two miles off the Oxnard coast, in the wind-whipped Santa Barbara channel, a sailboat with seven persons aboard, including four children, capsized Saturday. A passing sailboat rescued the group, all from Camarillo.

Chicken prices to drop; food still 'bargain' WASHINGTON (UPI) Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz foresees lower chicken prices by spring and reduced pork prices next fall but is not certain about a drop in beef prices.

Butz also said in a UPI Washington Window interview Sunday that Americans still are "getting a bargain on the whole" for food and this year will spend less than 16 per cent of their take home pay for food. He said government price controls on farm products would produce black markets and shortages rather than bumper crops. Butz said he believed several steps taken recently to increase food supplies would result in some lower prices in coming months. "I think we're going to see some changes next fall and winter in hog prices for example, and in the price of pork," he said. "We expect there to be a very substantial increase in the production of hogs in the latter part of 1973.

Cattle prices we're not quite so sure about." Butz said he expected a drop in chicken prices in eight to 12 weeks. Butz also made these points. -Food prices are not expected to rise as fast this year as last, taking the year as a whole, and will not prevent attaining President Nixon's goal of bringing annual inflation down to 2.5 per cent. -There should be a continued market for U.S. grains in the Soviet Union.

"It is much the same as the difference between jumping on a rubber foam pad and a cement floor," said SRI. "In one case the foam rubber absorbs the energy, and in the other, it is transmitted to the feet." Besides providing several workable designs that meet the safety requirements, the project demonstrated that testing scaled-down models can save firms time and money, SRI said.
