national Statesman-Journal, Salem, Monday, August 20, 1984, 5A Daughter's killer terrorizes parents "She was my love," a man said shortly afterward in a telephone call to The Register, an Orange County newspaper. "I caught her cheating with another man. She denied having someone else. I killed her." Police who investigated that message agreed that the caller was Dorothy Scott's killer. "For four years, (the caller) has tortured us," her mother said.

The couple didn't change their number because they hoped that if the man had Dorothy, he would allow her to speak to them. For months before she vanished, Vera Scott said Dorothy was terrorized by the daily telephone calls she received at the Anaheim psychedelic paraphernalia shop just a few blocks from her parents' home where she worked as a secretary: "One day he called and said to go outside because he had something for her. She went out and there was a single dead red rose on the windshield of her car." SANTA ANA. Calif. (AP) For four years, the parents of Dorothy Scott were "tortured" by phone calls from a man who claimed to have killed their daughter.

Now, after her remains were finally found, the calls have begun again. Vera and Jacob Scott say they believe the anonymous caller is the same one who repeatedly harassed their daughter, Dorothy, 32, before she vanished in May 1980. "Dorothy got one call just before she disappeared that upset her horribly," Vera Scott said in an interview published Sunday in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. "The voice said, 'OK, now, you are going to come my way and when I get you alone, I will cut you up into bits so no one will ever find Last week, a set of bones unearthed Aug. 6 at a remote construction site were identified as those of Dorothy Scott.

Two weeks after her daughter disappeared, Vera Scott received the first of the chilling calls from a man who said, "Are you related to Dorothy Scott? Well, I've got her." The caller's knowledge "of things no one else could have known, like what color her scarf was and where she was and what she was doing," convinced Vera Scott that she was speaking to Dorothy's kidnapper. tTIHI FAN CALF fM BT with purchase of Stihl Pro Kit DRAINS UNBLOCKED 011 AVEQwith16" bar chain Reg Pnce $234 95 SALE PRICE Kitchen Sink Bathroom Sink Bath Tub Shower Washer Drain Floor Drain 2250 $199.95 stihw 31 Sewer Line WE INSTALL 028 WBEQ with 20" bar chain Price Includes Service Call Labor State Certified, Bonded, Insured ACTION DRAIN ROOTER SERVICE 370-7321 CLIP an SAVE Reg Price $354.95 SALE PRICE REPAIR: I Sewer Lines Septic Tank Drain Fields barrels of oil left underground in U.S. fields after normal pumping nearly triple the amount of oil used in this country last year, petroleum industry experts say. Normally, oil flows from wells under its own pressure or is pumped to the surface. However, much remains trapped in rock formations, often released by flooding underground reservoirs with water.

According to a petroleum council study, about 55 billion barrels of oil could be recovered by pumping a gas down the shaft to force oil to the top. Another 6.5 billion barrels could be recovered using steam and 25 billion barrels with chemicals. Storms flood East, SW The Associated Press Thunderstorms produced heavy rain Sunday over the Southwest, with some flooding reported in Nevada, and showers and thunderstorms also extended along parts of the East Coast. A flash-flood watch was posted for the southeastern half of Nevada, and in southern California a flash-flood watch was issued for the Death Valley area of Inyo County and parts of the Mojave Desert in northeastern San Bernardino County. In the East, showers and thunderstorms were numerous across Florida and also extended along the middle Atlantic Coast.

Rain showers dampened Pennsylvania and southern New York state. Postal workers talk strike Gannett News Service Union officials representing 605,000 postal workers begin meeting in Las Vegas, today, and the topic of discussion will be strike. "The mood is a serious one," said Vince Sombrotto, head of the National Association of Letter Carriers. "The members are angry, they're angry at the threats he (Postmaster General William F. Bolger) has been making in the media." Postal officials want the new pact to include a three-year wage freeze, decreases in health-care benefits and a proposed pay scale that would give new hires 23 percent less than current employees.

New study warns of teacher quality The Associated Press Education reform efforts under way in many states will fail as the "least academically able" become teachers unless far more is done to boost the profession's status and pay, a new report by the Rand a Californi-based think tank, warned Sunday. The report recommended that teacher salaries start at $20,000 and reach $50,000, compared with current starting salaries averaging about $13,000 lower than almost any other career requiring a bachelor's degree. It also calls for: Establishing a career ladder allowing experienced teachers to assume responsibility for supervising new teachers and developing programs. Offering recruitment incentives such as scholarships and forgivable loans for talented college students to enter teaching. Making teacher-education programs more challenging.

Requiring teacher internships before tenure is granted. Improving working conditions by allowing paraprofessionals to assume non-teaching duties. Mine can't be traced ABOARD USS SHREVEPORT, Gulf of Suez (AP) Forces seeking to find and identify a mine similar to those that have damaged at least 18 ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez probably will not be able to determine who placed the mines, the commander of the American force said Sunday. "I think it will probably be impossible to lay the blame," said Commodore Alvin S. Newman.

"Every maritime nation has mines in its arsenal." But he added, "If we find one, we will know what we are up against. That is the Egyptian goal, too." Newman commands the crew of 650, and the U.S. ships and helicopters that have joined Egyptian, British and French forces searching for mines in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez. So far, no one has turned up any mines. Experts say oil recoverable JACKSON, Miss.
