Authorities in Monteomerv Coun PHILADELPHIA (AP) A convicted murderer described as "a real American Jack the Ripper" and investigated by authorities in 10 killings on the East Coast and in Canada was charged Saturday in the death of a go-go girl who was stabbed 30 times. William Dean Christensen, 40, serving time for another slaying at Holmesburg Prison near here, was named in a warrant in the 1982 death of Michelle Angiers, 23, of Dixon City. After appearing at the Philadelphia Police Administration Building, Christensen, of Bethesda, was ushered to a waiting car and began a trip to Lackawanna County where the killing occurred and where arraignment was set later in the day. In an affadavit supporting the arrest warrant, police quoted an alert published by the Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network as saying, "Investigators in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Canada believe Chris-tenson traveled between Maryland and Canada from 1980 to 1983, committing as many as 10 homicides." State police Constable Bill McAn-drew characterized the suspect as "a real American Jack the Ripper." Philadelphia police Detective Joseph Brignola said Christensen was being investigated in connection with at least 10 cases.

Police said Christensen usually preyed on go-go dancers or women he met in bars. The body of Ms. Angiers was found Sept. 23, 1982, with 30 stab wounds, Lackawanna County District Attorney Ernest Preate said. He said an investigation showed Christensen had met Ms.

Angiers in a bar the previous night. Last July, Christensen was convicted of first-degree murder in the ty, charged Christensen in a 1980 rape and Canadian detectives named him as a suspect in two 1982 killings in which the victims were cut up with a hacksaw. When police searched his Philadelphia home, they found a hacksaw with blood and hair on it, according to Brignola. Philadelphia homicide detectives say they have been unable to find a go-go dancer who lived with Christensen briefly in 1983. A bloody mattress was taken from his home after he moved, police said.

Christensen told the Philadelphia Inquirer last November that he had "extreme mental and alcohol probf lems" and feared he would be charged with many unsolved CHICAGO (AP) Reports of child sexual abuse soared nationwide in 1984, according to a new study, but a leader of efforts to stop child abuse said the numbers probably represent only "the tip of the iceberg." "Sexual abuse reports increased an average of 35 percent across the country during the past 12 months," said Anne H. Conn, executive director of the Chicago-based National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse. "This translates into more than 123,000 reports of sexual molestation of children. "And we are probably still only seeing the tip of the iceberg," she said in a statement accompanying the study being issued by the committee Sunday. Child-abuse reports in general, including sexual and non-sexual abuse, rose significantly 19-percent bringing the total num-' ber of reports in 1984 to a projected 1.273,000, the committee said.

"The findings reflect the unprecedented public exposure through the media to the problem of sexual abuse in 1984, and, in response, the public's willingness finally to do something about the abused as a child and urges other victims to report such abuse. Three weeks ago, the comic appeared in the Houston Chronicle. Since then, child-welfare officials in Texas have said reports of sexual child abuse in the Houston area have skyrocketed. "There's been a tremendous response," said Gene Daniel, who heads the state Children's Protective Services agency in Houston. Daniel said 135 reports of sexual child abuse were recorded in surrounding Harris County in January.

He said the number was at least one-third higher than the average. "One of my supervisors told me just the other day that half the calls he was getting were related to the comic book," Daniel said. A typical case, he said, occurred when a child and his parents were reading the comic and the child mentioned that a relative had done to him what had been done to Spider-Man. The sheriff's office in neighboring Montgomery County, Texas, said the comic prompted reports that led to the arrests of four men and a woman on sexual child-abuse charges. problem," said Linden Wheeler, the committee's president.

The estimates were drawn from data gathered by agencies in about 30 states that compile child-abuse statistics. The greatest increase in re-; ported sexual-abuse cases was in Mississippi, with 126 percent. Other states with increases of more than 50 percent were Nebraska, 121 percent; Missouri, 100 percent; Oregon, 83 percent; and Wisconsin, 82 percent. "It seems clear that the more we work to uncover the problem of child abuse, the more we are able to find," the committee said, urging parents, professionals and others not to be "disheartened by the continual rise in rates" but to be "encouraged further to take action." Many abuse-prevention workers have said they believe the number of children being sexually abused may not have increased, but only that more cases are coming to light. The report was issued simultaneously with the publication of a special Spider-Man comic supplement in eight major U.S.

newspapers. In the comic, Spider-Man acknowledges he was sexuallv: For Diabetics and Family A Six-Session Diabetes Class Feb. 26-27-28 and March 5-6-7 5:30 9:30 p.m. Hospital Cafeteria Annex destroys substation $43 fee Includes all six sessions and meals for the diabetic and one family member.

The blast at the unoccupied substation knocked out power to about 1,300 customers for several minutes before electricity was rerouted, Ledwell said. "I don't think I would call the bomb crude," Johnson said.

"It did a lot of damage. It's difficult to say, though, how much of the damage was done by the bomb and how much by the fire. There was oil all around." The fire burned out by itself within about two hours. About an hour later, workers inspected the second substation and found another explosive device, Johnson said. Ledwell described the device as "a plastic bag with wires." It was "just a quirk" that the second bomb didn't go off."
