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, Mrs. 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 Mrs. Scott that she was speaking to Dorothy's kidnapper.

"She was my love," a man said shortly after--ward 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 Miss Scott's killer. "For four years, (the caller) has tortured us," her mother said.

The couple didn't change their telephone number because they hoped that if the man had Dorothy, he would allow her to speak to them. The calls stopped about three months ago, when Jacob Scott answered the phone for the Please see CALLER, A-5 fr 1 1 SANTA ANA, Calif.

Republicans nail platform to Reagan conservatism Tm f'f- By Larry Lipman OF THE SENTINEL STAFF JUDY BAYERLSENTINEL The nation is facing a teacher shortage so critical that the least-qualified instructors could take over the classrooms unless more is done to boost the profession's status and pay, says a Rand Corp. study, released Sunday. "The search for excellence, as it is being conducted in most states, will not solve the problem," concludes the 19-page study, titled Beyond the Commission Reports: The Coming Crisis in Teaching. The report warns that the nation faces severe teacher shortages by 1988 unless expensive steps are taken to "professionalize" teaching. The report, by Rand researcher Linda Darling-Hammond, proposes that teacher salaries start at $20,000 and reach $50,000, compared with starting salaries now averaging $13,000, lower than almost any other career requiring a bachelor's degree.

Teacher salaries, in real terms, have declined 15 percent from 1971 to 1981, the report shows. The Rand report is the latest in a growing library of education reform proposals issued since President Reagan's National Commission on Excellence in Education warned 16 months ago of a "rising tide of mediocrity" in public schools. While advocating steps to make teaching more attractive, the report does not consider the ques- Off the airplane but still flying: Players show how it feels to be world champions.

Altamonte Springs Mayor Ray Ambrose and city DALLAS The "New Right" took no prisoners in drafting the Republican Party platform that will be presented Tuesday at the party's 33rd national convention, which opens today and concludes Thursday after handing President Ronald Reagan the nomination for a second term.

The platform, adopted over objections from the party's moderate wing, offers different visions of the family, defense, the economy and the role of government than the Democratic Party platform adopted last month in San Francisco. At the center of the differences is a clash between the conservative philosophy of Reagan and a mix of Christian and political leaders from the New Right against the liberal views of Walter Mondale, backed by ethnic groups, women, labor and the poor. The GOP platform promotes a view that the "spiritual and intellectual genius of the American people will create a better nation."
