31 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Thursday, July 31, 1980 3 Killers Captured After Escape From Georgia Prison's Death Row lmmmmi CCiiN'S E1GCEST DISCOUNTER CF PAINT AND WALLPAPER "You'll Always Do Better At Paint Products" xmw apgr mm WALL CCVERIXG FTC Claims Fraud In Pizza Franchises WASHINGTON (UPI) A frozen pizza franchise scheme that promised investors a 200 percent profit may have defrauded scores of people of $2 million, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday. The agency said H.N. Singer Inc. of Chicago sold franchises for its "Hot Box Pizza" for from $25,000 to $100,000 but failed to make good on promises to recruit customers or provide other assistance to the budding pizza barons who took up its offer. The FTC said it had obtained a court order freezing the assets of the firm in an attempt to make sure money is still availale for restitution it is seeking for affected franchise holders.

The system involved exclusive territorial franchises for frozen pizzas and ovens that the franchisee was supposed to place in bars, bowling alleys and other retail outlets. But, the FTC said in its complaint, the company fell down on its promise to line up customers for the franchise holders. In addition, those who did come up with customers found the ovens were sometimes too big to be placed in the stores, and that the customers didn't have the freezer space to keep the pizzas. Ads for the franchises claimed, "Your profits will average as high as 200 percent over your cost" and "Let's talk big money $100,000 per year and more." CHARLOTTE, N.C. (UPI) Three killers who escaped from Georgia's death row were driven from a lake house hideaway by tear gas Wednesday and crawled on their bellies to their police captors in a bizarre drama "right out of a Spencer Tracy movie." The badly beaten body of a fourth escapee was found by swimmers at Mountain Island dam, about 10 miles away.

Police would not say whether they believe the man died at the hands of his companions. William "Chains" Flamount, 33-year-old member of the Outlaws motorcyle gang who had rented the hideaway, was arrested and charged with three counts of harboring fugitives from justice. Timothy McCorquodale, 27, of Alma, Johnny L. Johnson, 26, of Logan, Utah; David Jarrell, 25, of Greensboro, N.C, and Troy Leon Gregg, 32, of York, S.C., escaped from Georgia's maximum-security prison at Reidsville Monday. Gregg's body was found at Mountain Island dam.

The four convicted killers made good their escape by sawing their way through three sets of bars and then boldly walking out the front door of the Reidsville prison in fake guards uniforms they had fashioned from pajamas. Once on the loose they telephoned a newspaper editor in Albany, to say they were free and were in Florida. Authorities never believed the call came from Florida, but they would not disclose how they picked up the fugitives' trail in North Carolina. About 7 p.m. Tuesday about 20 officers surrounded the ramshackle hideaway on Lake Wylie, about 20 miles southwest of Charlotte, while a police helicopter hovered a few feet above the roof.

Nearby residents were told to stay in their homes and lock the doors. Police Capt C.L. Owens, his voice echoing through" the darkness, told the men to surrender. "Come on out of the house, we have you surrounded," Owens yelled. "Come on out with your hands up" Television newsman Rick Willis said the scene like a cops-and-robbers thriller.

"He called them by name," Willis said. "It was right out of a Spencer Tracy movie." "They were told to go belly down on the ground and crawl to the police officers," Willis said. The fugitives, who it later was discovered were not armed, initially refused to budge. Police withheld all fire for more than six hours until finally at 1:20 a.m., they opened up with tear gas cannisters. One canister bounced off a wall and started a fire in the yard of the house next door, and the other exploded in the hideaway.

After about 10 minutes, the back door flew open and the choking men crawled out on their bellies.

Director- STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) Stanford University researchers said Wednesday they may be able to mass produce experimental antibodies against certain kinds of cancer in six months.

Antibodies are substances made by the body to fight viruses, bacteria and other substances foreign to the body. Five years ago a method was pioneered in England to produce antibodies in mice, but mouse antibodies are resisted by humans. Last week a method for producing human antibodies was announced in Paris by Dr. Henry Kaplan, 62, a radiologist and director of Stanford's cancer biology laboratory, and Lennart Olsson, a Danish research fellow at Stanford. Their announcement was a huge step in a race CABOT'S SEMI-SOLID STAIN LIST 18.95 SAVE 6.00 ETwo-Veek Bargain uropean Holiday under the leadership of Father William A.

among scientists and drug companies to produce a "magic bullet" that will carry out search-and-de-stroy missions against a wide spectrum of diseases. Antibodies made by the human body are molecules designed specifically to fit into foreign substances, like keys into locks, and neutralize them. These foreign substances are called antigens. Laboratory-made antibodies could beef up the body's natural defense system by killing substantial numbers of antigens directly. But in cancer eradication, 99 per cent success is not enough, because the remaining 1 percent will continue to spread the disease.

In that case, the antibodies could also be attached to toxic chemicals that ride piggy-back to infections sought out by the antibodies honing in on their targets like radar-guided missiles. Kaplan and Olsson succeeded in developing human antibodies by fusing cells from the spleen with a line of bone marrow cancer cells. The new cells were called hybridomas. From the cancer cells the hybrids inherit the trait of endless reproduction and from the spleen cells the machinery for producing antibodies. Musicians' Union Threatens To Join Strike in Hollywood HOLLYWOOD (UPI) About 5,000 members of the American Federation of Musicians union threatened Wednesday to join 60,000 striking actors and actresses a walkout that would further cripple the motion picture and television industries.

A strike by musicians, who provide music for almost all movies and television shows, would halt post-production work on films and shows completed before members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists walked off the job. "It wouldn't surprise me if there is a strike," Joan Brenner, a spokeswoman for the AFM said. Union official Dick Gabriel said only three "touch-and-go" meetings had taken place with producers, who have been preoccupied with negotiating with striking actors. "I think AFM is taking its cue from what's going on with the actors unions," Oscar-winning composer and conductor Henry Mancini said. "Everything that affects the actors as far as pay TV and video markets comes down and affects all the other unions too." Federal mediators have called a meeting next Monday between negotiators representing AFTRA and SAG and producers in an effort to resolve the strike.

WftartaaLaat WWur, Ceaa. Strving Conn. Sinn 1946 95 Gallon Outside Influence Claimed In Youth Seeking Asylum CHICAGO (AP) The mother of a 12-year-old boy who doesn't want to return with his parents to the Soviet Union said Wednesday her son was influenced by someone who promised him "golden mountains." An attorney for the parents of Walter Polov-chak, who is seeking asylum in the United States, said the youth's decision may not have been voluntary. Richard Mandel, attorney for Anna and Michael Polovchak, tried to establish at a custody hearing that Walter had been influenced to stay in this country by persons "prejudiced against the Soviet Union." But a 24-year-old cousin of Walter's testified the boy ran away from home of his own free will. Mrs.

Polovchak made an emotional plea to U.S. Circuit Judge Joseph C. Mooney. In referring to Mooneye earlier order that Walter be placed in temporary custody of the state, Mrs. Polovchak asked why her family was being split up and why she and her husband had lost their rights as parents.

She charged that Walter was trying to manipulate his parents because he'd been influenced by another, unnamed, person. "My son was promised golden mountains and he was brought closer to them and now he wants to conduct the lives of his parents," she said through an interpreter. "I would like to know who tells the child what to do." Mr. and Mrs. Polovchak have been living in Chicago since coming to this country six months ago, but they recently decided to return to the Ukraine.
