itmi" ri. vis THE EL PASO TIMES, Monday, October 17, 1977 Pige7-A Thieves Took Her Independence SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Thieves took her money, her Social Security check, even the rings off her fingers. But even more cruel, they took what 84-year-old Mrs. Thomas Hughes cherished most her independence. "I've always been independent," said Mrs.

Hughes, a widow who lives alone. But after being burglarized and robbed three times in nine days, she says, "I'll never be able to live alone again." A week ago last Wednesday, Mrs. Hughes was raking apples in her front yard when a neighbor saw a man leave the back door of her home. The widow later discovered that $90 had been taken from her purse. The following Tuesday, while two strangers were Inquiring about buying one of her hand-made quilts, someone entered her home again through the back door, ransacked her bedroom and made off with her Social Security check, her purse and all her keys.

Early Saturday, Mrs. Hughes awoke to find a masked man standing over her bed. He had apparently broken a lock to get in. "I screamed, but he told me 'Lady, don't you dare do that Mrs. Hughes recalled.

She lay in bed while the intruder went through her home, removing her wedding band and diamond rings from her fingers before he left. "He asked me where the 'apple money' was," she said. "I told him my children ha' taken it with them early in the evening." Mrs. Hughes supplements her income by selling apples from her own trees and from a suburban farm. "That's the end of that, too," she said.

"There'll be no more apples sold from this house." A son-in-law said Mrs. Hughes' children will take turns staying with her. Police, who say they are working with a neighbor who might be able to identify one burglar, and they will being watching the house. "I've always believed I could handle any situation," Mrs. Hughes said.

"But I'm upset. I don't think I'll ever be alone again."

"Two days after Ann was reported missing, I called Mrs. Harmeier and asked if there was anything I could do," said David Weston, Dublin Elementary School principal.

"The government should name a few demands of its own," one man in the crowd said to another. "Shoot a jailed terrorist every hour until all hostages are released," he said. Four hijackers threatened to blow up a Lufthansa jet with 87 hostages aboard if 11 terrorists in-prisoned in West Germany and two Palestinians jailed in Turkey were not freed. The hijackers also demanded a $15.5 million ransom from the Bonn government.

Pardon Lost The Election, Says Former First Lady Next Stop For Hijackers NEW YORK (AP) Gerald Ford's pardon of former President Richard Nixon was largely responsible for Ford's loss in the 1976 presidential election, says former First Lady Betty Ford. But she says she doesn't think the pardon was a mistake. "Many people who definitely were for Jerry could not bring themselves to vote for him because he pardoned Nixon," Mrs. Ford is quoted as saying in the November issue of McCall's magazine. "I don't don't think they realized what a sick man Nixon was sick, which tended to affect decisions." Mrs.

Ford said the media was more critical of her husband than it is of President Carter, but she said she is not resentful of that. "Jerry was a Republican, and he was associated with Nixon and CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind. (AP) -Ann Louise Harmeier, 20, could be considered nothing more than a statistic one of thousands of person-s reported missing each year, in time destined to be erased from police computers and human memories. But Miss Harmeier, a lifelong resident of Cambridge City, is a symbol of the ability if the 4,000 people who live in this small eastern Indiana community and adjacent towns to counter frustration and despair with optimism and determination. The people are searching for Miss Harmeier.

And they won't give up until they find her. On the morning of Sept. 12, the Indiana University junior loaded her clothes and books into a car and headed for the campus in Bloomington, about 105 miles away. She stopped at service stations several times en route because she was having car trouble. She was last spotted standing outside her disabled car along Indiana 37, two miles north of Martinsville, less than 20 miles from campus.

The Rev. Rose Taul of Cambridge City Presbyterian Church, a family friend, became alarmed when Miss Harmeier failed to telephone her that night as planned. The next day, she and Miss Harmeier's mother, Mar-jorie, retraced the route Miss Harmeier had taken. They found the loaded car, emergency lights flashing, abandoned by the roadside. Where is Ann? That question, in bold, black type, is spread throughout the nation on bumper stickers, posters and El Paso metropolitan area will be partly cloudy through Tuesday with variable winds generally less than 10 mph.

The 82 passengers, including an American woman with a heart condition and her 5-year-old son, and five weary crewmen were reported safe following the shaky landing on the unpaveddirt strip. The jet, dark except for a faint illumination in the cockpit area where the hijackers are said to be, parked about two miles from the main terminal.

The Aden airport was closed until further notice. In recent years, this Marxist country at the tip of the Arabian peninsula has granted refuge to hijackers and other terrorists. But officials here insist the Lufthansa jet will not be allowed to stay. -Weather At A Glance- Happiness To Not Having Headache By The Associated Press Lo High Pr Abilene 00 Alice SAii 00 Alpine 3e 00 Amanllo 31 't 00 Austin 50 'l 00 Beaumont 50 '5 00 Brownsville AC 83 00 Childress 3 00 College Stai.on 46 74 00 Corpus Christ. 00 ColuHa 00 Dalharl IS TV 00 Oil las '1 00 Dei Rio S4 IS 00 (I Paso 00 Fori Worth 10 71 00 Oaivesion si to 00 Houston S3 7s 00 Junction 41 7 00 Lono.iew 40 77 00 Lubbock 00 lutkin 41 77 00 Maria 71 00 McAilen A3 14 00 Midland 47 77 00 Mineral Wells 40 73 00 Paiacios 7t 00 Presidio s7 00 San Anqelo 41 77 00 San Amonio SI 00 Shreveport 37 71 00 Siepbenville '3 00 Teiarkana 41 70 00 Tyler 45 73 00 Victoria 51 77 00 Waco 41 74 00 W.chi'a Falls 3S 74 00 W.nk 4J 7s 00 an execution deadline also was set by the kidnapers of West German industrialist Hanns Martin Schleyer if the imprisoned terrorists were not released.

Schleyer was seized six weeks ago in Cologne. But Schmidt and his advisers, meeting for round-the-clock sessions and seeking support from France and Britain, chose not to bend to the terrorists' demands. By mid-afternoon, government spokesman Hanns Boelling emerged from the chancellery and addressed the patient crowd standing behind a steel fence as troops armed with submachine guns stood guard. while the government would not comply with the hijackers' demands, Boelling said it was pursuing "all The Lufthansa jet had left Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates 40 minutes before the 8 a.m. EDT deadline set by the four hijackers for release of 11 anarchists imprisoned in West German jails and two Palestinians imprisoned in Turkey as well as $15 million ransom.

West Germany took no action to meet the demands as the deadline passed. The Bonn government continued round-the-clock crisis sessions into the night to decide what their next step would be. South Yemen was the fifth stop for the hijacked plane which was ordered to Rome, Nicosia, Bahrain and Dubai after the hijackers com-, mandeered the Majorca-to-Frankfurt flight over France on Thursday. An official spokesman in Bonn said the West German government was pursuing "all realistic possibilities" to free the hostages, who include a The emotional parasite flourishing in the body can be traced in large part to a socially created barrier between the conscious and subconscious worlds. The entire body is reacting, crying out warning signals to a consciousness that is listening only to the consciousness of another socially evolved human product.

So, if we are to relieve anxiety, tension and headache, we would do well to listen to the voices within. They are our survival signals. At last, medicine and psychology have discovered a new way to treat headaches that may well be the savior of many headache victims. The phenomenon of biofeedback can be used in many ways for the many kinds of headaches. Biofeedback is the process of learning how to control one's internal functions, whether it be activity of blood vessels, muscles or brain waves.

The learning is made possible by using instruments to tell the patient exactly how a particular body system is behaving. This sensory feedback to the mind amounts to intimate communication with the body as researchers have shown over and over again, we seem to be able to control any internal activity that we can monitor. We cannot, in fact, seem to resist exercising control. data collection will inevitably lead to imprecise extrapolations." At the Conyers subcommittee hearings, two leading statisticians, Dr. Marvin Wolfgang of the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Stephen E.

Feinberg of the University of Minnesota, testified that suspending data collection could destroy the continuity of the project. Feinberg said it would be difficult and time-consuming to arrange for a whole new set of 65,000 households in the polling sample if the project were revived after the nine-month suspension. Daniel Levine, an associate director of the Census Bureau, said it's doubtful that the bureau could revive the operation in late 1978 because officials would be gearing up for the 1980 national census. Gregg insisted that LEAA officials "had no intention at any point to realistic possibilities" to free the hijacked plane's hostages and ensure Schleyer's safety. The concerned citizzens appeared to agree with the government's decision but several openly worried about the fate of the captives.

"We've spent millions to fight terrorism. But it will keep going on until all nations decide to fight it together," said a white-haired man in the crowd. Two companions nodded their heads in agreement. "The government must stand firm against the extortionplot," declared a goateed young man. A middle-aged blonde woman asked: "Would you feel the same way if your family were aboard the plane?" There was no reply.

Unknown California woman said to be running short of medication for a heart condition, and her 5-year-old son. During 54 hours of negotiations here, the hijackers refused an offer by Dubai officials to exchange themselves for the 82 passengers. The hijackers, armed with pistols and plastic explosives, forced authorities to refuel the plane by threatening to execute the hostages one by one starting with the pilot. Before leaving here, the hijack leader, who identified himself as Capt. Shahid Mahmoud, radioed the control tower that he was "holding the West German government responsible for whatever happens to the hostages following its failure to meet our demands." Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and top German officials met throughout the weekend in Bonn.

In the tension headache, for instance, most people are not aware of tense muscles until the spasm knots appear. Suppose now that the doctor recommends biofeedback as treatment for a patient's headache. Most likely, the patient will be sent to a biofeedback clinic usually a group of psychologists working with a physician where biofeedback instruments are available and the complete biofeedback training program can be carried out with the patient himself learning how to control muscle tensions causing the headache. The treatment starts with the biofeedback therapist explaining what the patient needs to know in order to learn especially how muscle-tension headaches are caused by stress, how the muscles react to stress, and finally how to work with the biofeedback instrument. The instrument uses sensors placed on the skin over the muscles to be trained, and it detects the exact levels of tension in the muscles of the head area.

The tension data is displayed to the patient by a meter or lights or tones on the instrument, and these tell the patient how high or low the muscle tension is during the training sessions. Next: Skin talk. Unpopular terminate this effort." The brushfire of criticism may force LEAA to back down from a cutback. Gregg said his staff is examining alternatives and "we might decide to go with some data collection, or even all of it." But Gregg no longer has the final voice on the matter. "Flaherty will make the decision," said an aide to the deputy attorney general.

"We had the whole cast of characters over in Flaherty's office about a month ago, and determined that there were some serious questions which should be studied. That was the basis for Jim going back to study it some more. "Technically, it is an LEAA decision but it will be made here because of the broader policy implications," the Flaherty aide said. 50s in the south.

Human beings view social problems as threats to social well-being, particularly when having to perform, whether in front of an audience or at work or in a social club.

They worry themselves tense; and, after a time, the muscles tend to stay in a tensed state. Some people show their muscle tensions by leg or back aches or general feelings of exhaustion, but the most common muscle tension state is the tension headache. It is not an easy task for human beings to keep their top-heavy heads in an upright position. Having to keep the head tensed, ready to defend one's self, can result in the head and neck muscles literally becoming tied up in knots. The knots are muscle spasms; they press on both nerves and blood vessels, causing the pain of tension headache.

The fact is that conflict, anxiety, tension and headaches are so prevalent today that they envelop the individual like a black shroud. Aspirin and a host of other drugs along with physicians, psychiatrists, therapists and even ministers make up the largest conglomerate in the world all trying to relieve anxiety, tension and headache.
