The Kane Republican, Tuesday, February 20, ll-Yecr-Old Trudges flo SoGofly After Plane Crash in California County Rough Riders' Officers are Chosen The McKean County 4-H Rough Riders Inc. elected officers at their first Record Snowstorm Hits Portions of Pennsylvania the FBI to purge his personnel file of any improper material. An FBI agent who asked to remain anonymous said Ollestad was an agent in the 1960s for about one year and was stationed in Miami. On this date: In 1437, King James I of Scotland was stabbed to death by an assassin in the Scottish city of passenger was hospitalized. In Bucks County, a Pennsylvania Turnpike pileup near Quaker town sent six people to hospitals.

Three tractor-trailers and six cars were involved, authorities said. Southeastern Pennsylvania bore the brunt of the storm, with a record 14.3 inches of snow recorded over 24 hours. The northeastern sectors, normally hardest hit, escaped with a light slap of two inches. An exception was Wilkes-Barre's seven inches of white stuff. Throughout western counties, a similar pattern prevailed, as the northwest got one to five inches but Pittsburgh and the southwest took a four-to-eight inch bludgeoning.

The conditions hindered all kinds of activities. In Philadelphia, an observant type looking out the window of a center-city office building noted there were no prostitutes apparent on the street below. "You usually see them out there by noon," he mused. "They must be snowed in." QBy The Associated Press arkling sunshine and temperatures just above the freezing mark predicted for today may take the edge off lingering effects of a record snowstorm for Pennsylvanians, many of whom put off the task of shoveling out the family car. One secretary opted for skis as she trudged her way a long six miles to her downtown Philadelphia workplace.

"Damn," she muttered upon arriving Monday. The office building was closed. But if the knee-deep condition wrought scenes of black humor, it also brought tragedy and near-tragedy, early morning Allegheny County ic accident killed milk truck driver Mark Sanner, 26, of Friendsville, Md. Police said his vehicle crashed with a tractor-trailer on snow-covered Interstate 79 in Collier Township. And in Philadelphia, ten persons were treated at hospitals for minor injuries sustained when one elevated train rammed the rear of another.

One temperatures. Rescuers found the woman's body but still had not located the plane in the San Gabriel Mountains, 45 miles east of downtwon Los Angeles. The search was to resume today. The boy was in good condition after treatment, said nursing supervisor Joanne Tarbell at the San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland. "He has a broken hand and contusions and abrasions here, there and everywhere, but he's doing fine," she said.

"His mother is here, and he's not in shock not in medical terms, but maybe emotionally." A commercial airline pilot flying north of Palm Springs picked up emergency signals from the downed plane, said Col. Steward Hall of the Civil Air Patrol. He said the plane, which was equipped with a radar transponder, disappeared from radar screens at 7:40 a.m. The plane was bound for Big Bear 50 miles east of the crash site after taking off early Monday from Santa Monica. The Ollestads were reportedly on their way to a ski race there.

Norman Ollestad a student pilot, is a Santa Monica attorney and former FBI agent. Ollestad had contended the FBI mounted a campaign to discredit him after the 1967 publication of his book, "Inside the FBI." He settled a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the bureau last November and collected $10,000 in legal fees and a promise from LOS ANGELES (AP) An 11-year-old boy with a broken hand trudged two miles to safety through waist-deep snow and ice after surviving a plane crash in the rugged San Gabriel Mountains, authorities said. A female survivor who tried to make the trek but fell and was unable to continue later died, authorities said. The boy, Norman Ollestad Jr. of Malibu, walked into the Chapman Ranch Monday afternoon and said he believed his father, Norman was dead in the snowbound wreckage of a single-engine Cessna 172, along with flying instructor Bob Arnold, 27, of Mar Vista.

"He just walked in," said Mount Baldy Fire Department spokesman Dale Barwick. "The plane must be about 2,000 feet above and three-quarters of a mile away from the ranch the way the crow flies, but on foot it's at least two miles. Some of those rock faces are sheer cliffs." Young Ollestad told authorities that the woman, tentatively identified as Sandra Cressman, 30, of Los Angeles a friend of the Ollestads also survived the crash but slipped on an ice chute and was unable to continue. "He (the boy) said he had to abandon her, so he covered her with leaves and twigs in an attempt to keep her from freezing to death," said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Sgt. Pat Hootwyk.

Officials said she may have died of exposure in the 30-degree "i They're Always UNIQUE BR0YHILL Occasional LIVINGR00M TABLES We Just Received a New Line -Come In and See At Constable's Kane county-wide meeting of the year Saturday night at St. Luke Episcopal Church in Smethport.

Progress Noted In New Orleans Police Strike NEW ORLEANS (AP) A police strike still held Mardi Gras hostage today but a federal negotiator saw some progress toward a settlement that would let the good times roll. "On your first day back into negotiations you don't make 100 percent progress, but I am not disappointed," said mediator Ansel Garrett after a six-hour session that ended late Monday night. Talks aimed at ending the four-day walkout by some 1,100 of the department's 1,514 officers resume today. City officials remained apprehensive that the garbage collectors of Teamsters Local 270 might walk out in sympathy with the Police Association of Louisiana. Mitch state secretary treasurer of the Teamsters, maintained the suspense, sayirg only that a sanitation department walkout was "a good possibility." A substitute force of 650 National Guardsmen, 126 State Police troopers and nonstrikers patrolled the city.

Officials said the crime rate remained low. Garrett's carefully optimistic report on negotiations was the only one given. Both sides agreed in advance to stop in suiting each other in public announcements and let the mediator do the talking. Earlier, Mayor Ernest Modal took a glum view. Announcing the cancellation of tonight's elaborate Krewe of Pegasus parade, he said the realistic outlook was that Mardi Gras itself also will wind up canceled.
