Copycat tampering expected sale of their popular cookies in response to a rash1 of cookie-tampering incidents throughout the country. At least 12 such cases have been reported In the Chicago it" Continued from page A1 Officials of the New York-based ITT Continental Baking Company, which owns Hostess, also declined further comment. Dawn jVilliams, 17, reported the Hostess tampering case to police Tuesday night after X-rays revealed she had a staple in her stomach. "She bit into it (the Ho-Ho) and felt a scratching sensation a short time later," said review officer Clyde Kwiatkowski. Police who went to the food store where the teenager bought the Ho-Ho cakes found three Hostess fruit pies and two Hostess Twinkles also contained foreign objects, Kwiatkowski said.

"It's possible someone took the (Hostess products) out of the store and then brought them back," Kwiatkowski said. "I don't think they would have had enough time to do it In the store. The store's not that big." JU ANITA CROSS, 45, told police she chipped her front tooth on a straightened safety pin hidden in a Ho-Ho cake purchased from a drug store near her home. She told police she was eating the cake Wednesday night when she bit into the pin. The Hostess tampering reports surfaced after the Girl Scouts 0 of Chicago to halt this year's cookie drive.

Cookie sales were also postponed in parts of Indiana and Michigan while local and federal officials investigated more than 150 tampering cases in 24 states. Authorities believe the Incidents, which began three weeks ago in St. Louis, are the work of unrelated "copycats." "It's just like Tylenol. You've got some goofs out there," said a South Chicago review officer investigating the report of a woman who chipped a tooth on a straightened safety pin hidden in a Hostess Ho-Ho cake. Product tampering cases were reported nationwide in 1982 when seven Chicago area people died after taking cyanide-laced Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules.

No one has ever been charged in those deaths. iT HAS TO be a copycat type of thing," said a review officer in the Deering District, where police were investigating a report from another South Side woman who swallowed staples after biting into a Ho-Ho cake. Officials in northwest suburban Schiller Park where Hostess products are made said the tampering reports were under investigation and the FBI had been notified. There was no further comment. area.

The Chicago council, which represents all troops in the city, took the action after the councils of South Cook County, which has approximately 550 troops, and Moraine Valley, which represents troops in about a dozen northern suburbs, halted sales last week because of the tamperings. In south suburban Tinley Park, a girl scout who had purchased a box of mint cookies found sugarlike granules sprinkles over, the top of the cookies and pins sticking outside some of the cookies. Police Chief Robert J. Long said officials believe the sugar-like granules were actually grounded pieces of glass. The cookies were returned to their original distribution point, he said.

"I DONT KNOW if it was a copy cat, but it's a terrible thing," Long said. "It sure did ruin the Girl Scout's reputation." The organization normally sells about 130 million boxes of cookies a year across the nation. The Chicago council hoped to raise nearly $1 million through its cookie sale, said spokeswoman Linda Sar an. 1 i i i v. I i v.
