THOUGHT FOR TODAY“Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me. Then 1 would speak without fear of him, for I am not so in myself.” -Job 9:34, 35SOUTHEASTERN OHIO’S GREAT HOME NEWSPAPERTHE DAILY JEFFERSONIAN 149Rain likely tonight and Friday. Lows tonight in the 40s. Highs Friday in the 50s.ihVOL. 84 NO. 1 50CAMBRIDGE, OHIO 43725' THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 197410 COPYESTABLISHED 1824New Tape From Kidnapers Demands MillionHILLSBOROUGH, Calif. (UPI) — Another tape from the Symbionese Liberation Army has been delivered to the parents of kidnaped Patricia Hearst, reporters were told today at the Hearst Hillsborough home.Reporters outside the Hearst mansion were told of the new tape by a television newsman, John lister, who has been acting as go-between between the family and newsmen.Lester said the tape, which did not contain the voice of the 20-year-old kidnaped girl, was received Wednesday night by the Rev. Cecil Williams, who also received an earlier tape.Lester said Williams telephoned Miss Hearst’s father, newspaper publisher Randolph A. Hearst, and played the tape to him. Lester said it contained a demand for $4 million.He said the tape appeared to be from “Cinque, whose voice was on the earlier tape recording with Miss Hearst and who identified himself as the ••general field marshal of the Symbionese Liberation Army, which holds Miss Hearst captive.Receipt of the new letter was disclosed as hopes for a breakthrough were raised early today with a report of a major announcement” by FBI directorClarence Kelly and U.S. Attorney General William Saxbe.But later the FBI in Washington said the announcement, scheduled for 12:30 p.m. EDT, would not deal with the Hearst case.Early today reporters found a larger than usual number of FBI agents in the San Francisco headquarters.Meanwhile, the kidnaped girl’s 20th birthday passed Wednesday with no word from her kidnapers, the terrorist Symbionese Liberation Army. Hopes had been raised that some word, or possibly her release, would come on her birthday Wednesday. The FBIagent in charge of the case, Charles W. Bates, said he had a seat of the pants feeling Tuesday night that she would be released.The FBI in San Francisco said there was nothing new” in the case. An FBI spokesman said also he knew nothing about reports the family had received another tape recording.As the kidnaping of the 20-year-old daughter of newspaper publisher Randolph A. Hearst moved into its 18th day, word came from Atlanta of a possible second kidnaping with political overtones.Here in the plush San Francisco suburb of Hillsborough, there was no word from the grandiloquent “Symbionese Liberation Army” as to whether the $2 million free food program created by Randolph Hearst met their demands for release of the girl.Bates said he believed the kidnaped girl was safe and would be freed unharmed, but he gave no specific reason for his optimism.The scene outside the Hearst home was reminiscent of the hysteria surrounding the kidnaping of the son of Charles Lindbergh 40 years ago.Reporters In Trees A San Simeon in the style of the late William RandolphHearst, with turrets and pools and oil paintings, the childhood home of Patricia Hearst isn’t.But the news empire founder never had television cameras and microphones c 1 u s t e r e d before his front door or reporters in nests up in the tall pine trees.Meanwhile, the directors of the food program were finalizing the logistics for the grocery distribution. As food donations and offers from volunteers poured in, one official said there would probably be enough food “to fill 20,000 requests” by Friday.Food Pickup Points Secretary of State A. LudlowKramer of Washington State, tapped by Hearst to direct the program, said more than $100,000 in food had already been donated by concerned citizens.A total of 32 trucks and more than 70,000 square feet of warehouse space had been volunteered to handle the food.Kramer directed a free food program for the needy in the Seattle area more than three years ago. It was set up to help aerospace workers who had lost their jobs because of a decline in defense spending and in private aircraft production.Peggy Maze, an aide to Kramer, said more grocerieswere being ordered while other warehouse and distribution points were being selected. And, she said, she was trying to organize the volunteers.Mrs. Maze said four pickup points in the San Francisco Bay Area would open Friday.Help For AllWill there be qualifications for the poor to pick up the food?We don’t have time for standards ... we want to feed people, Kramer told reporters when the mechanics of the program were disclosed Tuesday in front of the Hearst mansion.
