Two teen-agers were found dead in a parked car Saturday night, apparently victims of carbon monoxide poisoning. Steven Johnson, 19, and Karen I Vinson, 17, both of Stewartville, were found in a car parked on a little-used road on the south shore of Lake Florence. The Olmsted County sheriff's office said the teenagers were last seen at about midnight Friday.

When found they had been dead about 19 hours, deputies said. Theater Ten Little Indians' Mike Steele Rail unions set new Canadian walkouts today United Press International Montreal, Canada Despite a joint meeting scheduled today between representatives of Canada's railways and their non-operating workers, the unions Sunday announced 48-hour walkouts in the maritime provinces and the prairies to open their "third round" of rotating strikes. About 27,000 striking members of the Associated Non-operating Railway Unions in British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, the Yu for murder at Stillwater Prison escaped from a work-release program in Minneapolis and was arrested by Hastings police Saturday night, officials reported Sunday. Police said they apprehended Guy P. Wenberg, 21, formerly of St.

The active search for a small boy believed lost somewhere in New Mexico was ended Sunday.

The boy's voice had been heard pleading for help over citizens-band radios for five days, but police said the calls may have been a hoax. State Police Chief Martin Vigil said the decision was made to cancel the search because air and ground searchers had not "come up with any real definite information to establish that the situation is valid. Vigil said there was no way to prove that the calls for help were a hoax unless authorities found the person responsible. The boy's calls for help were first reported Tuesday by a California citizens-band operator. Since then operators across the nation and in Canada reported picking up the distress calls.

The signals said the boy's name was Larry and that he and his father had been in an accident. The boy said his father was dead or injured in their pickup truck. He said he didn't know where he was. Deaths elsewhere "1 Home LOBSTER (BATTERIES NOT Over the weekend, at Theatre in the Round, a dire deed was done as Agatha Christie's mystery melodrama "Ten Little Indians" was bludgeoned to within an inch of its life. the victim was a slight, but charming, little whodunit with everything mystery fans enjoy oozing from its pores.

It takes place in a creaky mansion on an isolated British island. It has 10 invited visitors, nine of them potential victims, one a mad murderer. It has clues everywhere. We know the victims will die in the same way the 10 little Indian boys of the nursery rhyme died, to underscore that, there are 10 china Indian boys on the mantle and one disappears each time murder is about to be committed. We have then an appropriately Gothic setting, a tense and suspenseful situation, hints everywhere as to the murderer's identity and a grotesquely logical denouement.

TRP, however, has done it in. Two large things have defeated George Bogusch's production the theater's roundness and the play's Britishness. Bogusch was never quite sure where to place his actors on the round stage and make no mistake, it's a difficult stage to attack for the first time. His sets beams and hard wood block the stage and screen the action. Whatever kind of dynamism comes out of stage activity and design is lost.

But the more serious problem is the second. This is a highly verbal play depending greatly on crackling dialogue, rapid wit, sparkling interplay of minds, ideas and fears. The cast gets into serious trouble here, partially because the pace is so languid, partially because they're Includes salad, potatoes and a loaf of bread MUTCMMOII i 6 Spalding Pin Flight Golf Ball Top quality, tough to cut Triple S4H Green Stamps Maximum: 2,000 stamps for deposits under $5,000, 4,000 stamps for $5,000 or more kon and southern Ontario kept half the nation's rail service paralyzed yesterday with a 24-hour extension of their two- and three-day strikes.

Paul. 13 to tab fighting a tough, and losing, battle to maKe their Midwestern speech sound British. We get Eton out of Eden Prairie and lose the style and suspense which comes from sparkling verbal interplay. Bogusch has done a couple of things very wisely, however. He's dumped the rather Victorian ending of the play in favor of the original novel's ending.

His new one is more powerful. And he's made a few good cast choices. Nancy Marvy as Vera, the play's voice of logic and reason, is skillful, understated with just a touch of Bette Davis for interest. Ron Pitzerell as the heady and youthful Marston brings the needed crackle to his speaking but, woe, he's done away with early on. And Susan Osborne's prudish Emily Brent is a nicely honed shrew, a woman capable of scaring hell out of the devil himself.

Mel Edman as Wargrave is effective enough and John Haldeman's eccentric version of General Mackenzie works in a smallish way. But mostly the acting is forced, tentative and dull. The play dies slowly. The case is closed. 1 i I I i 1 Arizona Fly as our guests, both husband and wife, to a wonderful small world Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

WLOL-FM drops classical music By Irv Letof sky Staff Writer After 15 years of what once was characterized as "longhair" music, WLOL-FM put its classical records and tapes back into the' archives Sunday in favor of a new, automated, 24-hour, generally short-hair format.

It will be "beautiful" music that will be "totally familiar," including even some classical numbers if they are considered popular. WLOL general manager Wayne (Red) Williams and Larry Bentson, president of BFR Broadcasting, which owns the station, said the classical format has never made money and the change is an attempt to broaden WLOL's appeal. The format was fashioned by Graham Richards, a radio-program consultant who had been preparing "the sound" for more than six months. Williams and Bentson called the format brighter "foreground" music rather than Muzak-y "background" or "elevator" music, labels that sometimes are used disparagingly to identify middle-of-the-road music stations. Williams said the typical hour would include these numbers: "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "The Good Life," "Besame Mucho," "Cabaret," "Serenade in Blue," "The Loveliest Night of the Year," "Moon River," "Sunrise, Sunset," "Funny Girl," "Tenderly," "Moonlight Serenade," "Deep Purple, Laura," "Stardust" and "Rhapsody in Blue." When news of the impending change in music leaked out, some sponsors indicated their displeasure and intention to drop their advertising.

As of about 9 p.m. yesterday, a WLOL spokesman said, the station had received 27 calls, of which 7 were in favor of the new format and 20 were opposed. The spokesman said the response was "very light," but "about what we expected" in the proportion of those for and against the change. He said he didn't know why so few people called, but that a bigger response was expected today. The officials said that 3 to 5 percent of radio audiences like classical music, according to national surveys, but that WLOL-FM's share of the Twin Cities listening market has never exceeding 1 percent and that profits from WLOL-AM have been used to pay the FM expenses.

Anticipating that a format change would excite the wrath of the traditionally loyal clasical listeners, officials took a survey in the spring of the classical fare available here. They found that KSJN-FM, KUOM and other noncommercial stations played 175 hours of classical music in the survey week. An lately, Bentson said, "a lot" of WLOL sponsors have been diverting their funds to underwrite those stations. In addition, WLOL learned that KSJN-FM may expand its classical programming. William Kling, president of Minnesota Educational Radio, which operates KSJN and FM stations in Col lege ville and Moorhead, acknowledged that the possibility is being explored.

Kling said he would like to increase KSJN'sairtimeto 24 hours, including classical music from 1:30 to 6 a.m. daily. But it would cost about $22,000 a year and depends on underwriting from corporations and business firms. LONDON BRIDGE is now completed at Lake Havasu City, A rizona.
