THE LAWTON CONSTITUTION, Tuesday, July 16, 1974 3 Summit Trips ur Decides Henley Guilty Of Six Mass Murder Slayings Hijack Effort Buoyed Nixon, Newsmen Told SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Alexander M. Haig Jr, President Nixon's top White House aide, says a month of overseas summitry has reinforced Nixon's determination lo stay on the job and continue "the leadership of the past five years." Interviewed by three reporters Monday at the Western White House, Haig said Nixon returned from trips to the Middle Eas and the Soviet Union "intellectually and spiritually reinvigorated" despite a taxing schedule that left only three to four hours a day for sleep. Haig i Nixon as ready to focus his energies on the business of government -fighting inflation at home and seeking peace abroad while delegating day-to-day responsibility for his Watergate defense to his legal team. He said Nixon is "well on the mend" from a June attack of phlebitis and that there is little danger of complications the blood clot that developed in a vein in Nixon's left leg.

He isaid swelling of the leg, in thii area a the ankle, has lessened. Haig would not respond to questions about Watergate. But Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler insisted Monday that Nixon "is not devoting much of his time to the matter at all." Haig i i as being able to devote more time to reflection at his seaside estate here than back in Washington. "There is less i by minute operational pressure," he said.

He added that Nixon has taken advantage of the more relaxed environment for "stock-taking at critical junctures." He said he expected Nixon to take advantage of his current stay to block out plans for the months ahead in Ihe area of foreign and economic policy. Haig said Nixon views his two summit trips as having been "highly successful" and meeting "all the objectives he set for himself." Suit Lodged In Colorado Piane Crash OKLAHOMA CITY (AP! The 1970 airplane crash in Colorado that killed members of the Wichita State University football team, coaches and supporters has generated another in a series of lawsuits. The latest was filed Monday in a a i a court and asks S26.4 million. It was filed on behalf of 22 survivors or relatives of the crash victims. The suit names the Martin- Marietta a Maryland firm that designed and manufactured the airplane in the crash, and Ozark Airlines, a Missouri corporation that owned it.

The petition says Martin- Marietta failed to design a "crashworthy" airplane and that it did not include special sea; attachment assemblies and interior safety devices. The petition also alleges the crash occurred because of downgraded power plants in the engines due to improper pistons, rings, plugs, cylinder walls and carburetor gaskets. SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) The jury which Found Elmer Wayne Henley guilty of killing six of the 27 young males slain in the Houston mass murders case meets today to consider the sentence. His mother says the conviction will be appealed.

Defense attorney Will Gray said the prosecution and defense had agreed to submit no new evidence and let the jury decide sentence on the basis of five days of testimony last week by state witnesses. Gray rested the defense i calling a single witness. The prosecution is not seeking the death penalty, but has asked the jurors to send Henley to prison for life. The jury o( six men and six women issued its guilty verdict against the 18-year-old high school dropout just under an hour getting the case on Monday. Henley showed no emotion as Court Clerk Mildred Voelkel read each of the six verdicts which declared Henley guilty of murdering Charles C.

Cobble, 17; a Ray Jones, 18; Frank Anthony Augire, 18; Johnny Delone, 16; William Ray Lawrence, 15; and Homer Garcia, 15. Henley's mother, Mary Henley, 35, broke into sobs. Later she told newsmen, "It's what I expected. Do you think it was fair? No it wasn't fair. We'll wait here for the sentencing and then we'll start our appeals." Gray had already indicated he plans an appeal regardless of the sentence given Henley.

Gray filed 59 objections to the charge read to the jury by District Court Judge Preston Dial, and he voiced more than 100 objections during the trial itself. Beltyc Shirley, mother of Marty Ray Jones, said she was happy with the verdict, "I am very relieved. I'm just so thankful it turned out this way," said Mrs. Shirley, who had run screaming and sobbing from the courtroom during the final arguments of Don Lambright, an assistant district attorney. Lambright recalled a statement which Henley gave police and which was read to the jury in which Henley said Jones was strapped to a board and watched while a friend, Charles Cobble, was tortured and lulled.

"What about the boy who lay there and watched the oth-. er little boy be raped and tortured. What do you think he thought about when it was his turn?" Lambright asked. Police said Henley, one of two defendants in the case, had procured young boys -some his friends and neighbors lor Dean A. Corll, 33, who homosexually raped and tortured them.

They said Henley and the second defendant in the case, David Owen Brooks. 19, then helped Corll kill and bury the victims. Brooks is charged with four counts of murder. No trial date has been set. Henley shot Corll last Aug.

8 during a sex and torture party at Corll's apartment in the Houston suburb of Pasadena. Tlie slaying was ruled self-defense. In his statement, Henley said he first got $200 for each youth he brought to Corll, but later received only $5 or (10 apiece. "If you take a friend's life for five or 10 dollars, you've got to get a little more out of it," Lambright said. "The only thing I can think about is that it was fun to watch him lay and scream and squirm." In his summation.

Gray told jurors tbat police officers who testified during the legal proceedings against Henley kept remembering more statements of guilt by Henley, and he suggested that they might have wanted to strengthen their case against Henley because Corll was dead, "The monster is dead," Gray said. "If you don't have a live defendant, you don't have the case. You don't have all the publicity That would make a case, we had a live defendant." scandidates Scientist Discovers Mosquito Killer Withdraw From Races OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Five legislative candidates withdrew their names Monday.

(AP) A scientist says he has discovered a type of bacteria that can kill infant mosquitoes by the billions, has no apparent effect on the ecology and could save millions of lives. The bacteria could be a potent weapon in fighting malaria, said Dr. Samuel Singer, associate professor of biological sciences at Western Illinois University. Malaria is transmitted by the anopheles mosquito and kills about 10 million persons worldwide each year, Singer said in an interview Monday. The racket-shaped bacteria attack tiny tadpole-like mosquito larvae growing near the surface of ponds, lakes and other water bodies.

The bacteria, known as bacillus sphaericus, are cultivated in a pale broth, and one cupful would be enough to control mosquitoes in the average farm pond or lake, said Singer. The approach would also help control yellow fever and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, Singer said. He said it is likely that other bacteria could be used to kill black biting flies and the tiny water snails a transmit parasitic worms. "It's not as important that we've found something to kill mosquitoes as it is that we are starting a kind of approach," said Singer. "That approach is to use a disease a found in nature to fight the insect." In the past several decades, mosquitoes have commonly been controlled by use of chemicals such as DDT.

But research in California shows that mosquitoes have developed a resistance to such chemicals, Singer said. Singer said the chemicals also pose a threat because they accumulate in the creatures that feed on the mosquito larvae, eventually working their way up the food chain to man. "That's the reason there's such a a he said. "That's a very potent poison." Singer said he first isolated the bacteria in 1972. He said he has since improved their potency by selective breeding and hopes for commercial production within five years, Tests on the bacteria's effectiveness which began in Nigeria last year will be continued Liis year, he said.

No results have been announced. The research is being conducted with the assistance o( the World Health Organization and grants from the National Science Foundation and West- em Illinois's University Research Council. House Panel Jo Move Ahead With Inquiry WASHINGTON (AP) The House Judiciary Committee plans to complete its impeachment inquiry' without waiting for the Supreme Court decision on whether President Nixon must provide White House tape recordings to the Special Watergate Prosecutor. The court heard arguments in the case last week and a ruling is expected any day, but Peter Rodino, the committee chairman, is holding to a schedule that should produce 'a Judiciary Committee decision on impeachment by July 30. "THE COMMITTEE has an obligation to move forward," Rodino said Monday.

(AP) -Television talk show host Chris wrote her own death script and then carried it out by putting a gun to her temple and pulling the trigger as television viewers watched. The attractive WXLT-TV anchor-woman, 29, died in a hos- pitaJ 14 hours later. Her handwritten, blood-spattered newscripl read, "Today Chris Chubbuck shot herself during a live broadcast." The story she had scrawled in longhand was found on the desk where she sat Monday i a a a nounced to viewers what she said was a television first: "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color you are going to see another first attempted suicide."

"It took less than a second to get the gun to her head and pull the trigger," news director Mike Simmons said. Spokesmen at the Sarasota sheriff's office and WXLT said both were swamped with calls following the incident.

They said many of the calls came from viewers who could not believe the shooting had been real and asked if it were some sort of prank. Last week. Miss Chubbuck jokingly hinted to colleagues that she was contemplating suicide. No one took her seriously. Coworker Rob Smith said she told him, "Wouldn't it be neat if I were to take the gun, pull it out on the air, live and in living color, and blow myself away." "I THOUGHT at the time it a a a a changed the subject," Smith said.

Her Mrs. M.D. Chubbuck, said Miss Chubbuck, recently named public affairs director for the ABC affiliate, was "terribly, terribly depressed. "She said that constantly. She had no close friends.

She'd say, 'Hi, how are you, won't you have some They'd say, Mrs. Chubbuck said her daughter, a native of Hudson, Ohio, had been under psychiatric care. quiry is completely independent of the Special Prosecutor's case." Rodino, Special Counsel John Doar and most Judiciary Committee members regard the impeachment power of the House as paramount and do not intend to seek court help in getting evidence.

The committee has issued eight subpoenas for 147 taped conversations, including most of the 64 involved in Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski's suit, but has not received any. Nixon released edited transcripts in response to the first subpoena but refused to provide anything more. In a letter to Rodino last June 10, Nixon said he already- had' given the committee the "full story of Watergate" and that nothing of substance would be added by turning over more tapes. i a i formed Nixon it will consider his failure to comply with its subpoenas when drawing up articles of impeachment, and will feel free to infer that the evidence he is withholding tends to incriminate him. BEFORE CUTTING off evidence to the committee Nixon agreed to give it everything he had turned over to the special prosecutor's office, which included 19 tapes.

aworski has no authority to deliver evidence to the com- mittee on his own, even if he should win the Supreme Court case and get the 64 tapes. The committee would have to go after them itself. Most members would like to have additional evidence, but there is general agreement the committee cannot wait for the court to rule and for Nixon to decide whether to release the tapes. Some estimates say it would take at least two months for the White House to process the tapes. Then, they would go to U.S.

District Judge John J. Sirica for screening of irrelevant material. JAMES ST. Clair, Nixon's impeachment defense lawyer, has predicted the Watergate coverup trial set for Sept. 9 would have to be postponed to await delivery of the tapes.

The Judiciary Committee has been under the impeachment gun since last October. Congressional leaders and House members are pressuring the committee for its recommendation so the question of impeachment can be settled. When the presentation of evidence now being made public by the committee was completed three weeks ago, Rodino said it was sufficient for the committee to make a judgment, It has since received additional testimony from seven witnesses. Audit Shows Bonds Gone In New York NEW A i Comptroller Harrison J. Goldin says, a 1972 audit shows that nearly $4 million worth of highly negotiable bonds were missing when Mayor Abraham D.

Bcame held the job. Goldin, Beame'r successor, made the audit public for the first time Monday, one day after he disclosed that his own contracted audit revealed a total of 15.4 million in securities were not in the steellined, time-locked city although they were still on the ledgers. The securities could have been.stolen, the audit reported, or the whole mystery could simply be the result of a massive bookkeeping error. i i a Beame, a fellow Democrat, of any impropriety. "These audits speak to the status of the records, assets and procedures which I inherited Jan.

1," Goldin said. A spokesman for Mayor Beame confirmed the 1972 audit showing that $3.95 million of securities could not be accounted for, but he said "a reconciliation of these figures had been made." The same assertion was made on Sunday when Goldin revealed the results of his audit. Beame's spokesman said at least one employe "was transferred as a result" of discrepancies. Pakistan Studies Talks With India KARACHI. Pakistan (AP) Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto said that Pakistan would resume reconciliation talks with India if the Indian government gives assurances against a threat of nuclear attack.

The Indo-Pakistani talks were postponed after India detonated its first nuclear device May 18. India claims the nuclear underground testing is for peaceful purposes. Addressing- newsmen in Parachinar near the Afghanistan border, Bhutto said that before talks with India can resume "we must test the sincerity of the other side." Fails; Police Seize Suspect TOKYO (AP) An American businessman says he suggested the plan by which 85 persons escaped from a hijacked Japanese Air Lines plane at Nagoya, 170 miles southwest of Tokyo here. Police seized the hijacker, a young Japanese construction worker, after the 81 passengers and four of the eight crew members got safely off the plane Monday. The hijacker stabbed himself in the neck and chest but was reported out of danger after the doctors sewed him up with 26 stitches.

Milton M. Richmond, 48, of Chicago, one of two American passengers aboard, said he persuaded the stewardesses to open the rear emergency exits while the hijacker, 26-year-old Akira Iwakoshi, was in the cockpit talking to Nagoya airport officials by radio. "The captain kept saying i a i a serious," said Richmond, "while the hijacker screamed hysterically in the background. We could all hear it. "The stewardesses were very reluctant to open the doors, very reluctant.

In fact, they didn't want to open them a a a i aboard. "The stewardesses finally opened a door and then got some blankets which we tied together and let down to the ground. A policeman onto it and Bob Allen my buddy and I pulled him in. We were the only big guys there." Then the passengers and cabin crew slid down the emergency chute and walked ankle deep in mud across the field. "It feels fine, doesn't it." said Richmond to his companion, Robert Allen, 48, of Glendale, Calif.

The two men are with an American smelling company. Meanwhile, 11 plainclothesmen stormed into the plane and overpowered the hijacker. Iwakoshi put his knife to the neck of a stewardess and took over the plane on a from Osaka to Tokyo. He demanded the release of a jailed radical leader and transport to North Korea. After several hours at the Tokyo airport, the plane- took off for Osaka but landed at Nagoya when it began to run short of fuel, Police who questioned the hijacker said he had no connection with leftist groups but had a record of five arrests for minor crimes.

He told them he didn't know Takaya Shiomi, the radical leader whose release he sought.
