"Only you didn't know whoee ashes you were getting. They just dug the ashes out of the pile with a Facing the urgent mission of feeding the thousands of Jews and other prisoners representing 28 nat ionalities, Birch said it was never explained to him why Army officials forbade the use of Army food stocks to feed the 40,000 Buchenwald survivors. "It was against regulations," he said. "The food was needed for the Army, I suppose. You see that was the hell of it.

We didn't know how to salvage these people." His medical team foraged through the countryside near Weimar for meat, pota-, toes and bread until the liberated prisoners were strong enough to leave for home. The immediate health problem for Birch's medical unit was the burial of an estimated 10,000 corpses that had not reached the camp incinerators. "The Germans ran out of coke about six weeks before we took the camp to they didnt cremate anyone." Rather, during those last weeks, the Germans heaped the bodies in the rock quarries where camp prisoners had been worked and starved since 1937. The eventual American solution, Birch said, was to use bulldozers to cut six-foot-deep Star of David and similiar Christian cross for common graves in adjoining fields. Birch said he found the TV re-enactment of life at Buchenwald "gives a pretty good picture of what went on." For non-Jews, he said, "I think we can understand better the pride with which they (Jews) came through." UnMad Praaa International 3 JACKSONVILLE The nude body of a savagely beaten young woman was found Wednesday floating face down in a dirt road drainage ditch near southeast Jacksonville area favored by motorcyclists.

Police information officer Mike Gould said police were trying to identify the woman, described as "beautiful" with shoulder-length dark hair, about 18-22, 5 feet 6 and weighing about 110 pounds. "She was savagely beaten with lacerations on the forehead and back of her head," Gould said. "She was beaten with a sharp instrument it could have been a broken-beer bottle or claw hammer. We just don't know at this time." Homicide detective Lester Parmenter said investigators found heel marks on the road indicating that the victim probably was dragged from a vehicle and thrown into the canal.

Meeting about this thing right now very much, and I vote we take the money out, period," he said. The organization, which received in state funds last year, asked for from the Legislature this year. Without the state funds, Legal Services Director Robert Travis said, the organization can still function but not as well on federal funds and other private grants it receives. One Legal Services attorney asked the subcommittee if it was attempting to retaliate against the group because it had criticized a 50-cent charge the state was requiring Medicaid recipients to pay for drugs. The subcommittee voted to erase the charge after two members said they hadn't realized it was in effect when they voted to give pharmacists a maximum 60-cent bonus for filling Medicaid prescriptions.

But Rish insisted the move was not an attempt to retaliate. Catalog Showrooms ST. PETERSBURG 1500 66ih Street N. 344-3921 Spring Flyer Specials good thru May 27th. TAMPA 3935 W.

"I'm upset Bodies from1-B STARING AND occasionally whispering, about 25 persons stood on the dock at the Commodores Harbor on Causeway Boulevard as a Coast Guard cutter brought the bodies, enclosed in plastic bags, to shore at 5:15 p.m, more than five hours after they were discovered. During those hours, Pinellas County sheriffs deputies and homicide detectives joined the Coast Guard and Dunedin police to comb the spoil bank in search of evidence and clues. Joe Ziegler, a member of the Dunedin Coast Guard Auxiliary, said it was a "miracle" that the bodies were not discovered sooner.

He said fishermen often stop on the spoil banks, formed by sand dredged from the intracoastal channels, to have lunch. He also said that shell hunters and picnickers visit the spoils. The bodies were found between 11 a.m. and noon by Budley Albury and Rubin Hart of Palm Harbor. Albury had called the Coast Guard Monday to report that three of his acquaintances Douberley, Ms.

Holmes and another man had left on a boating trip from his dock Sunday night and that Douberley and Ms. Holmes had not returned. Tuesday, the Coast Guard found the missing boat a 16-foot fiberglass craft submerged in deep waters between Honey-mxn Island and Grassy Key. Albury identi-t fied it as his friends' small craft and was on his way with Hart to pick up the boat Wednesday morning when he discovered the bodies. ON THEIR WAY back to shore, the two men noticed what appeared to be a box on the shore of a spoil bank.

Then they saw Shock from 1-B electric shock and could not let go of the telephone. Women standing nearby heard her screaming, "Get me off of this! I'm dying! I can't let go!" and one of them knocked her to the ground, getting slightly shocked herself, Levine said. He said evidence would show that the Colonnades rented an apartment, in which telephone hookup wires were exposed, to a woman with small children. One of the children, he said, plugged the phone wire into a nearby electrical outlet and sent current surging through the telephone system. An circuit breaker in the apartment and a ground wire for the telephone system neither of which was in compliance with electrical safety codes, he said failed to stop the current or divert it.

Ms. Johnson thus became the ground for the electrical current, Levine said, and the shock caused her physical and emotion Crime from 1-B Officials had no particuliar explanation for why simple assault is the second leading offense among the city's elderly. Simple assault is a relatively minor offense in which no weapon is used and no serious injuries result. Domestic quarrels often result in simple assaults, the report shows. The 11,000 crimes committed against elderly victims in the last four years "is not a startling figure overall, considering the high percentage of elderly within the city," the report states.

"In most crime categories they are not overvictimized," the reports states, "but in incidents such as robbery, purse snatch and pickpocket, their representation is excessively high." SIXTY-NINE per cent of all purse Weather from 1-B "It all happened so fast," said Capt. R. C. Johnson, "maybe four or five seconds. There was very little altitude loss." Passengers continued to Miami on another plane after an emergency landing in Orlando, where eight persons were treated and three were admitted to a hospital.

Officials blamed the incident on "clear-air turbulence," caused by invisible pockets of rough air. Over St. Petersburg, black clouds hinted at the storm to the north, but it failed to make a dent in the city's dry April.

Later, they saw what looked like a body floating in the water and called the Coast Guard. Albury did not identify the bodies, but he said he believes they are those of his missing friends. The third person on his friends' boat, who Albury identified as Glenn Consagra of Lutz, returned to shore and reported the other two as missing, Albury said. Reporters' efforts to contact Consagra failed.

Albury said he talked to the Consagra Monday morning. He said Consagra gave him this account: The three friends went in their boat to an island, where they built a fire and drank beer. When their beer ran out, Douberley and Ms. Holmes went to get more, leaving Consagra behind. Consagra saw a second boat come up to Douberley's boat, and the two boats went through the drawbridge together.

Albury said the man told him he waited for his friends, and when they didn't return, he floated to shore with the help of a styro-foam box he had found on the island. WHEN ASKED whether Albury's account was correct, sheriffs spokesman Merrill Stebbins said, "At this point in the investigation, officially the people are not identified, so we cannot say." Albury said he knows of nobody who disliked Douberley and Ms. Holmes. He also said he does not believe the deaths could have been suicide. "He loved living," said Albury.

Mrs. Albury looked out to the boat dock where the dead couple launched their boat Sunday night and sighed. "It's so tragic to have this happen in such a beautiful setting," she said. "The water is so beautiful, but it can be deadly, too." al injury that has required three operations and continuing psychological care. None of the attorneys for GenTel, the Colonnades or electrical subcontractor C.

L. Day denied that Ms. Johnson had received the shock, but each told the jury his client was not the one responsible. Day, who was being sued by GenTel and South Colonnades rather than Ms. Johnson, will pay no part of the settlement, Levine said.

Three other electrical contractors and an insurance company that were also being sued by the two big companies bought their way out of the case Tuesday for $27,500, which became part of the total settlement. Ms. Johnson never appeared in court, and Levine said this was part of his usual trial tactics. If his client in a damage suit has no demonstrable physical injury, he explained, he keeps the person out of the courtroom except when the client is testifying so that the jury doesn't see an apparently normal person sitting there while Levine argues that he or she should be compensated. snatchings reported in the four-year period were committed against elderly persons, the reports shows.

Elderly victims were involved in 39 per cent of all pickpocketings and 35 per cent of all robberies in those years. Elderly persons were victims in 21 per' cent of all the murders committed during the period. The report shows elderly persons were victims of other crimes in these proportions during the four-year period: Rape, 7 per cent. Aggravated assault, 4 per cent. Simple assault, 4 per cent.

Residential burglaries, 28 per cent. Car burglaries, 9 per cent. Car thefts, 8 per cent. The report does not suggest any solutions to reduce crime committed either against or by elderly residents. Petersburg streets, but no rain was recorded at Albert Whitted Airport downtown.
