In the feather style of singing, her voice would rise at the end of each verse. Her repertoire was primarily English and Scottish folk songs.

Two Federal Fugitives Are Sought After Bank Holdup HAZEL DELL, Wash. (AP) Two escaped federal prisoners, one of whom is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List, are being sought after a bank employee and his family were taken hostage here and held overnight before the bank was robbed, the FBI said Tuesday. FBI Agent Joe Smith in Seattle said authorities are looking for Joseph William Dougherty, 36, of Philadelphia, who is on the agency's most-wanted list, and Terry Lee Conner, 42, of Evansville, Ill. The two also are wanted for robberies similar to the Hazel Dell case. Clark County sheriff's deputies said two men took as hostages Monday night the assistant manager of the First Independent Hazel Dell bank, his wife and teen-age son.

The family was held at gunpoint by two men dressed in business suits. The men entered and robbed the bank Tuesday morning, said police Lt. Larry Byler. He said none of the family members were injured. The names of the family members weren't immediately released.

Officials didn't reveal how much money was taken in the robbery. Smith said the suspects were last seen driving van that belonged to the man who was abducted. The van was found a short distance from the bank. The bank was temporarily closed while FBI agents and sheriff's detectives investigated the case. Smith said Dougherty and Connor escaped together in Oklahoma City in June 1985 while being transported by federal officials, and both were wanted for bank robberies in St.

Louis, and Milwaukee, Wis. The robberies were last year, and were similar in the abduction method used, said Smith. Smith said the two robbers apparently used automatic or semiautomatic weapons Monday night. Fire Calls County firefighters were called to a pickup truck fire at 12:58 this morning on Highway B.

(AP) A bulletproof vest and a passing nurse who administered emergency care saved the life of a policeman who was struck by lightning as he drove his motorcycle during a thunderstorm, authorities said. Daniel Fisher, 33, of Palm Bay, was listed Tuesday in serious but stable condition at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne.

The nurse gave Fisher cardiopulmonary resuscitation just minutes after she saw the lightning bolt strike him Tuesday afternoon, as the off-duty officer drove along Interstate 95, said Brevard County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Joan Heller. The nurse slipped away without giving her name, Ms. Heller said. The bulletproof vest also apparently saved Fisher from a lethal dose of electricity, as doctors found neither entry or exit burn wounds which are normally present in such cases, the spokeswoman said. Pentagon Wants Large Supply of Frozen Blood By 1992 By NORMAN BLACK AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon, thanks to pioneering research work by a Navy laboratory, has launched an unusual program to produce what would be the world's largest stockpile of frozen blood for use in emergencies.

The effort, known as the "Military Blood Program-2004," is designed to ensure that doctors will have sufficient blood supplies overseas to treat combat casualties during the early days of a war. It calls for stockpiling 300,000 units of frozen blood by 1992. The key to the program is research that has convinced military medical leaders that red blood cells, platelets and plasma can be stored safely through new freezing techniques for much longer periods than had been thought possible. Indeed, work at the Naval Blood Research Laboratory in Boston indicates frozen red blood cells can be stored safely up to 20 years, Lt. Col.

Anthony J. Polk, the director of the Military Blood Program Office, said recently. That contrasts with the current method approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which allows storage of frozen red blood cells for only three years. "Our goal is to build a stockpile and to bring selected (military) blood banks to the point where they can use some of these new technologies," said Cmdr. Jerry Baker, the deputy director of the blood office.

"The military blood system really hasn't been overhauled since World War II," added Polk. "The problem with the current; system i is that it calls for an extremely quick response with fresh blood drawn in the United States in the event of war. And that would be difficult at best, particularly if we don't have air superiority," Polk said. The idea of building such a large stockpile of frozen blood grew out of a special study conducted in 1984, Polk said. Military and civilian medical experts were given the task of assessing "battlefield.

requirements" for blood over the next 20 years; hence the name, Military Blood Program 2004. In the process, the panel reviewed the work of Dr. Robert Valeri, a Navy captain who retired last fall but who still works at the Navy laboratory, which is affiliated with the Boston University School of Medicine. The panel concluded Valeri's cumulative research over the past two decades offered a means of assuring a safe stockpile of frozen blood. The concept was approved last year by Dr.

William Mayer, the assistant defense secretary for health affairs, and advanced planning has now been completed, Polk said..
