Plane crash victims found DENVER (AP) The bodies of two Ohioans have been recovered from the wreckage of a light plane that crashed Sunday night about seven miles south of the Arapahoe County Airport in Colorado. Douglas County coroner John Andrews said the victims were James L. of Mount Vernon, and Janet E. Robinson, 28, of Columbus.

The plane apparently was en route from Texas to Colorado when it crashed, Andrews said. He said a package containing three ounces of what was believed to be cocaine had been found in the plane and turned over to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The twin- engine Cessna 310, which crashed in an isolated pasture, disappeared from radar screens as air controllers attempted to guide it to a landing at the Arapahoe County field in rough weather. The wreckage was located Monday by a helicopter belonging to KBTV-TV, Channel 9 in Denver, which had joined in the search.

According to the report, exact time of the theft has not been determined. The insulation was delivered at the construction site at Circleville Plastics in November 1978, and when workmen started to install it Tuesday, it was discovered missing. The I Supply Company, U.S.

Route 22 West, owned the insulation, according to the report. The 16 rolls of insulation were valued at $907. Deputy Sgt. R.L. Phillips of the PCSO filed the report.

Metzenbaum requests utility rate probe COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) An immediate investigation into possible electric utility overcharges in Ohio, outlined in a federal report released Tuesday, has been requested by Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio. In a news release from his Washington office, Metzenbaum said he will urge the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to probe contentions in a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission report that some customers may have been improperly billed for purchased power through the fuel adjustment clause. The report resulted from an investigation started last year regarding alleged overcharges during the national coal strike. Arrests transfusion each year.

Gose to half of that supply is collected by 57 regional Red Cross blood services that test, process and distribute the blood to over 4,000 hospitals for patient treatment. In Central Ohio, Red Cross collects almost 100,000 units of blood annually and distributes whole blood and its components to 51 hospitals. Component production, the separation of blood into portions in laboratories of Red Cross and other blood centers, has greatly improved utilization of the blood supply in the past 15 years. Because of component production, donors know that one unit of their blood can benefit as many as four or five patients. To meet the blood needs of our region, the total volunteer blood donor population must increase as well as the number of donations from each donor.

Currently, approximately five percent of the population contributed 100 percent of the blood needs. Red Cross and other organizations have made significant progress in attracting new donors and retaining current donors. However, while this has occurred, new and increased uses for blood have come about. New knowledge about use as a medicine has been gained. Improved strategies for saving, sustaining and maintaining lives have been made.

To illustrate how needs have grown, platelets, cell fragments necessary for normal blood clotting, are used extensively today in treatment of aplastic anemia, leukemia and thrombocytopenia. In 1973, Red Cross produced 349,000 units of platelets concentrate. In 1977, the demand for this component, which is used as a primary medicine or in combination with chemotherapy, had risen to 1.1 million units. In the mid 1960s, open heart surgeries began slowly but steadily increasing in frequency. Now about 100,000 open heart surgeries, each requiring about 8 to 10 units of blood, are performed each year.

This includes 240 in Central Ohio. In 1972, the process for storing red cells in frozen form was introduced into the Red Cross system. Preservation of rare blood types was a goal that had been reached. Over half the frozen red cell units, after being thawed, are provided for patients undergoing kidney dialysis.
