But sources said the murder victims were Fred Douberley and Mary Lou Holmes. They had been reported missing after they left Ozona for a moonlight boat ride and cookout Sunday night and failed to return.

Tom 7 TV sets stolen, she'll ORLANDO (AP) Not even persistent thievery will deprive Alice Marie Brewster of her favorite television shows she says she'll buy yet another TV set to replace the seven sets stolen from her in the past year. But this time she won't leave it at home. "It'll be a little one I can carry around with me," she says.

"I'll put it in the trunk of my car if I go out." Intruders have broken into Mrs. Brewster's home six times in less than a year. And they have stolen a total of seven TV sets. In fact, she's still paying installments on the last two sets that have been stolen. She was paying on one when it was stolen several months ago, so she continued to pay on it and bought another set on the installment plan.

Someone broke into her house earlier this week and made off with that one. Vandals deface synagogue, condos FORT LAUDERDALE (UPI) -Vandals defaced a synagogue and a nearby condominium apartment complex with swastikas in a Fort Lauderdale suburb a few hours after the broadcast of the final episode of the televised novel "Holocaust," police reported Thursday. At Temple Ohel B'nai Raphael, huge swastikas and the words "Heil Hitler" were scrawled in black paint on the white concrete block walls of the building, converted from a house three years ago. At the Lauderdale Oaks Condominium, about three blocks away, vandals defaced outside walls and street signs with black painted swastikas and the word "Auschwitz" with an arrow pointing toward the complex. The reference apparently was to the infamous Nazi death camp of that name.

Temple Treasurer Herman Wer-fel discovered the vandalism when he came to the synagogue Thursday morning. He said it occurred sometime after worshipers left following evening prayers Wednesday. Werfel said it was the first such incident since the home had been converted to temple. "I don't know how to figure out these things anymore," he said. Condominium residents said it was the second such incident of vandalism in a month.

Last month on a Saturday night, vandals wrote in red letters, "Old Jews live here' on an outside wall of the complex. I KB CANVAS CASUALS CmVAL. TO $13.95 PR.
