(UPI) Investigators hunting the killer of actor Bob Crane say the focus of the probe has turned from Crane's business and theatrical backgrounds to his social life and there are 15 to 20 persons police want to question. Of prime interest to detectives, said Lt.

Ron Dean of the Scottdale Police Department, are photographs of nude men and women found in the twobedroom apartment in Scotts- dale where Crane, 49, was found bludgeoned to death last Thursday. An autopsy revealed Crane, star of the old "Hogan's Heroes' television series, was struck twice on the head while he was sleeping. An electrical cord was wrapped around his neck. Dean said he and officer Bork Haggen flew to Los Angeles Sunday to interview friends and relatives of the actor, incluing Crane's longtime friend. John Carpenter.

Carpenter had been with Crane the day before the slaying. "This is the first time we had a chance to talk with Carpenter," Dean said. "We have held limited discussions on the phone. He's been quite cooperative with us. He has been able to put us in touch with family and friends who we can Dean said Carpenter returned with him to Scott- Girl Scout Slayings Teen-Ager Tells Of Meeting Hart PRYOR, Okla.

(UPI) Rewards offered for the capture of the killer of three Girl Scouts prompted a teen-ager to tell authorities he had met with Gene Leroy Hart at a cave near Camp Scott, the youth testified Monday. From the witness stand, Darin Creekmore, 17, admitted he really had not seen Hart since 1973. Hart is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the June 13, 1977, sexslayings of Lori Lee Farmer, 8, and Doris Denise Milner, 10, both of Tulsa, and Michele Guse, 9, of Broken Arrow on their first night at the camp near Locust Grove. Creekmore testified he falsely told Mayes County Sheriff Pete Weaver he met with Hart in hopes the suspect would be found and he could collect thousands of dollars in Dole Lashes Carter Concessions To Soviet Union As Weakness BOSTON (UPI) Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kansas, has attacked President Carter for making "a pattern of concessions" to the Soviet Union that has seriously weakened the United States' bargaining power.

Dole addressed Monday's gathering of the American Latvian Association, representing descendants from the Baltic nation occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. He told the group the U.S. stance on Latvia and the Baltic states was "designed to avoid annoying the Soviets." "What we see is a pattern of American concessions followed quickly by Soviet arrogance," Dole said in a prepared text delivered at the Boston Garden. "And all this occurs at the same time President Carter assures us the United States will not be pushed around. The United States is perceived as weak because we have been acting Dole cited the cancellation of the B-1 bomber production and postponement of development of the neutron bomb as signs of weakness in U.S REDUCE HIGH UTILITY BILLS Full wall or ceiling insulation equals fuel savings.

NAPA 253-0661 or 252-0106 Evenings 101 Death Row Inmates Saved By Court Decision WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court ended its 1977-78 term with a climactic ruling striking down the capital punishment law in Ohio, where 101 prisoners were under sentence of death. Chief Justice Warren Burger, writing the leading opinion for a splintered court, said the Ohio law fails to meet the Constitution's requirement for "individualized consideration" in each capital case.

Speaking for himself and three other justices, Burger said sentencing judges and juries must be allowed to consider "any aspect of a defendant's character or record" or circumstances of the crime raised by the defense that might preclude imposition of the death penalty. There was no majority for any one point of view on the court. But all the justices except William Rehnquist, who dissented, and William Brennan, who did not participate, joined in the ultimate to overturn the Ohio death sentences of Sandra Lockett and Willie Lee Bell, whose appeals were a at issue. Civil liberties lawyers say they now expect all those on Ohio's Death Row the second largest in the nation, behind Florida's to get reduced sentences of life in prison. The same fate was expected for those in Arizona, which has 24 awaiting execution under a somewhat similar law.

Together, they account for more than one-fifth of the total 487 persons in America now awaiting execution. Only a few hours after the Supreme Court handed down its death penalty decision, an Ohio state legislator Rep. Terry Tranter of Cincinnati introduced a bill to re-enact a capital punishment law conforming with the guidelines. The court also dealt a final blow to a similar law in Pennsylvania, where all those previously on Death Row have had their sentences commuted since lower courts ruled the statute unconstitutional. And it dashed final attempts to preserve portions of New York's 1974 capital punishment law, which has been ruled unconstitutional.

In another ruling the National Association of Broadcasters called "a harsh blow to the freedom of expression of every person in this country," the justices upheld 5-4 a ban against airing of seven "dirty words" during hours when children might be listening. Justice John Paul Stevens cited the unique characteristics of broadcasting, society's right to protect children from "inappropriate speech," and the interests of adults not to be assaulted with offensive speech in upholding the ban. Justices Potter Stewart, William Brennan, Byron White and Thurgood Marshall dissented. The court also took these major actions in a flurry of opinions and orders before recessing until Oct. 2: -Let stand orders by U.S.

Dr. Felix Velasco Alba of the psychiatric division of the La Raza General Hospital said Monday mental illness often strikes female adolescents and young women who have no other protest against "authoritive and hostile attitudes" of their parents. He said hysteria is less common among men as they "have the possiblity" of expressing their sexuality.

Velasco Alba said hysterical behavior usually is temporary but if left untreated over a long period of time, it can leave the patient paralyzed, deaf, blind, or dumb.

Cancer Check Urged On Fallout SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Thousands of people who were infants when atom bomb tests in Nevada sprinkled fallout across five Western states between 1951 and 1962 should be checked for cancer, a University of Utah radiological health expert said.

Limiting a study of the health effects of the fallout to those who lived in southern Utah "would be extremely foolish," Dr. Robert C. Pendelton, director of the university's Radiological Health department, said during the weekend. Significant quantities of radioactive particles from the tests were scatterd throughout Utah, eastern Nevada, southern Idaho and parts of Colorado and Wyoming, he said. Additionally, Dr.

Pendelton said, a study of sparsely populated southern Utah alone would not include enough people to draw statistically valid conclusions. The Washington Post reported Sunday the government is expected to reopen an investigation into the health effects of nuclear testing on civilians in southern Utah. Dr. Pendelton, a biology professor who specializes in radiological ecology, said he and other scientists, who collected data on the accumulation of radioactivity in southern Exposure Utah in the 1960s, may have been wrong when they concluded the radioactivity had little effect on the health of those exposed to the fallout. Recent reports that soldiers exposed to radiation during a test in Nevada have developed leukemia, possibly caused by that exposure, lead him to believe the health effects may be more widespread and more serious than previously believed.

He said the soldiers were exposed to about 1 rad (a measure of exposure to radiation) while children he studied in southern Utah were exposed to levels ranging from 1 to 75 rads. While people in northern Utah and areas in surrounding states would not have received exposures as high as those in southern Utah, Dr. Pendelton said, they certainly would have received exposures of 1 rad or more from some tests. And he said the fact that soldiers exposed to radiation and at the Nevada test, code named Smokey," began developing cancers possibly caused by that exposure about 20 years later, indicates it may take longer for the effects of radiation exposure to show up than was thought.

Cohan Saluted On Centennial Of Birth PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) Familiar music, nostalgic praise and a new 15-cent postage stamp marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of George M. Cohan, America's Yankee Doodle Dandy. He was born July 3, 1878, in a $6-a-month attic in the Fox Point neighborhood, near Brown University where Monday's "first day of issue" ceremonies were held. A parking lot has been built on the site of Cohan's birthplace.

Hart reward money. The youth said he had seen evidence of a fire and footprints around the cave area and had talked to Weaver and other officials at the Mayes County Jail in July 1977. He said he learned about the reward and "they told me if they found him there (in the cave area) it would belong to me." Weaver said he had doubts about the youth's statement concerning his alleged meeting with Hart.

"I took that at the time as a grain of salt," he said. He said authortiies searched the area and found the cave bearing a sign saying, "The killer was here," after receiving tips from other sources. Creekmore's testimony followed a recess that allowed him a chance to meet with a lawyer. It capped a day of legal maneuvering by chief defense attorney Garvin Isaacs, who earlier had filed a motion to dismiss the three first-degree murder charges against his client. while we were fighting," he said.
