B-12 Town Talk, Aloxandria-Pinevillp, Thursday. January 18, 1979 Expert Suggests Firms Let Workers New 'Clue' Reported Found In D.B. Cooper Skyjacking fern Exercise Any Time exuert on "health behavior change at the work place." In an interview he told of benefits of even casual exercises at work especially for the desk-bound. "Just stretching is better than nothing," he said. nui.mn iil' nf 'J 1 1 1 1 Vl'llt'lt'.

place exercise cited: walking around. liL'htlv sprinting in a corri cords, that he would have landed. The FBI had earlier said the Lake Mcrwin area appeared to be the prime area for the landing. The placard finding site, however, would put it possibly six minutes earlier in the flight when he jumped. FBI spokesman Kay Mathis in Seattle put a word of caution on the finding of the placard by admitting that it was possible the plastic piece, 8 by 11 inches in size, may have been knocked off after the Cooper flight rather than during it.

He said also it was possible it was knocked off after Cooper opened the door over about Olympia and several minutes before he actually jumped. "We took the Cooper plane up after the hijacking and simulated a drop by a parachutist." he said. "We noticed the decal was missing after that but not before." However, Malhis said they were not certain if the placard, or decal, was on the plane before they made the simulated runs. Both Nix and the FBI said the placard finding did not justify any new search of the area, but were hopeful the report would lead to further evidence being discovered in the case, the first unsolved airliner hijacking. KELSO, Wash.

(UPI) The first new "clue" on skyjacker D.B. Cooper in seven years is a report on the finding of an airliner's door placard in a remote heavily forested area about 20 miles north of the previous prime search area. Cowlitz County Sheriff's Deputy Bob Nix was optimistic the finding of the partially broken placard by an elk hunter would lead to further evidence on what happened to Cooper. The hunter, Carroll Hicks of Kelso found the placard northeast of Kelso in the Toutle Lake area last November but the find was not disclosed until Wednesday. Cooper, the name used by the skyjacker on the passenger roster, commandeered a Northwest Airlines Boeing 727 enroute from Portland to Seattle on Nov.

24, 1971, Thanksgiving Eve. Threatening to blow up the passengers and plane with dynamite in his brief case. Cooper demanded $200,000 in ransom, four parachutes and a trip to Reno after the passengers were let off in Seattle. Cooper disappeared by parachuting on a rainy night from the rear door of the 727. None of the money or any other sign of Cooper has been found despite intensive searches in a large area, generally east of Kelso where it was computed, based on inflight re dor, or jogging in place.

By Patricia McCormack WASHINGTON (UPI) A California health expert says workers should be permitted to exercise on company property any time of the work day for their health's sake. Dr. Joseph II Chadwick of SRI International in Menlo Park, Wednesday said an exception would be if the "good health habit" interfered drastically with company busi-ness. Chadwick is participating in the first U.S. Department of Health, Education' and Welfare conference on "Health Promotion in the Occupational Setting." Representatives from top levels of industry, labor and the scientific community are running "health simulation exercises" aimed at helping workers adopt healthy life styles.

rettes easier to obtain The agency also repeated from previous reports suggestions for the wording of the package warning. It suggested the statement be revised to say either "Warning: Cigarette smoking is dangerous to health and may cause death from cancer, cornary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema and other diseases" or "Warning: Cigarette smoking is major health hazard and may result in your death." It also said Dr. Rudolf Flesch, a readability expert! and FTC consultant, had suggested a simpler ap-: proach that would state "Danger! Tests prove cigaret-; tes can kill you." on cigarette packs to include the word "death." William Dwyer, vice president of the Tobacco Institute, said HEW Secretary Joseph Califann, in his comments on last week's surgeon general's smoking report, "oversimplified what is a serious public health issue." He said the trade group intends to start speaking out on the issue more than it has in the past. The FTC report said the industry spent $779 million on advertising and promotion in 1977, the last year for which figures were available. The amount is $288 million more than was spent in 1975.

In addition the FTC said cigarette companies are stepping up their give-away campaigns on street corners and elsewhere, saying this caused concern "that such free promotions may encourage minors to begin the carbon monoxide figures will be an offshnot of that testing. In other developments on the smoking front: President Carter told a news conference he will continue to back the government's current $282 mil-lion-a-year tobacco price support program, even though health warnings about cigarette smoking are piling up. He said he considers it proper for the govenment both to warn Americans about health problems and give economic help to tobacco farmers. The FTC released its annual report to Congress on smoking, showing the industry spent a record $779 million on advertising and promotion to get Americans to smoke more. It also told the lawmakers they should beef up the language of the warning statement WASHINGTON (UPI) In a few months the beleaguered smoker will have something new to worry about a test result showing how much carbon monoxide gas his or her brand of cigarette is putting out.

And when the figures are made available, smokers may be in for even more confusion because cigarettes with the lowest tar and nicotine content may not necessarily be the ones with the lowest carbon monoxide content. The Federal Trade Commission said it will begin publishing the new figures in June, because of strong evidence that carbon monoxide increases the chances of a smoker having a fatal heart attack. The FTC has been testing cigarettes for tar and nicotine, and releasing the results, since 1967. It said HF YOU DIDN'T BUY IT FROM TONY'S. YOU PAID TOO li So 1 TONY'S GIGANTIC RCA SUPER BOWL REBATE!
