"'The Symbionese Liberation Army said it is holding Patricia Hearst as a 'prisoner of war.'"
-News Item

TED OWENS OF CAPE CHARLES, the round man who describes himself as one of the greatest psychics in the world, says he knows where Patricia Hearst is.

How does he know? "Impressions," said Owens.

Eleven days ago, Owens sent a long letter to Patricia Hearst's parents in San Francisco. He wrote, "Your daughter is being held on a boat south of San Francisco. However, the BGs (Bad Guys) have two other locations where they hide her. They move her from location to location every two days."

If the Hearsts invite him, Owens will drop everything, fly west and use his talents (PK Power, he calls it) to assist in the search for Miss Hearst. The Hearsts' 20-year-old daughter was kidnapped more than three weeks ago by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army.

### Letter and telegram

In that letter of Feb. 13 and a telegram, which he sent two days earlier, Owens urged the Hearsts to turn to people who are good at psychometry. That is the ability to touch things (toys, clothing, jewelry etc.) and divine facts about the people who own these things. (In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychometry).

Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions.

"And if these impressions and predictions..."

"I'm the greatest" he insists, puffing on a cigar.

"I have been picking up things from the Symbionese minds. When I read minds, distance and time are no barriers at all."

### Moving around

Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock. From there, she is moved to San Francisco. To Chinatown. To a basement-type place in a rundown area. They have been using a laundry truck to transport her.

"It's a triangular pattern of movement from boat to farm and then up to the San Francisco location. The main man holding her is a foreigner from the Mideast, I believe. In the past he has been connected with airports and murders. Plane hijackings."

Owens' vibrations tell him that the Hearst girl is in great danger. "The main man would like to murder her so that the next targets of his kidnaping would be genuinely terrified. But another man in the army has a plan to smuggle the girl out of the U.S. by boat, down the coast to Central America. Maybe Costa Rica.

"My impression of the Symbionese leader is that he is short, about 5-5, has a dusky complexion, has a moustache, has a high IQ, is fanatical, trained in guerrilla warfare, arms handling and assassination."

Owens said there is no connection between the Hearst kidnaping and the abduction of an editor in Atlanta last week.

Although he is 3,000 miles away from the kidnappers of Miss Hearst, Owens says he is receiving the thoughts of the Symbionese loud and clear. "They plan to hijack a half dozen airliners at once. They will use no weapons. Their plan is to kidnap the president of six major airlines and their families and order these men to turn over planes to the Symbionese Army."

### Bad vibrations

Owens did not say what the terrorists plan to do with the six airliners.

Is Patricia Hearst alive? Owens hesitated and said, "Even for a psychic like me, it is hard to tell now. She has been in great, great danger. I feel like, well, I feel like the cutthroats have the edge in that army. She is in poor shape."

RICHMOND (AP) - A Virginia House of Delegates Committee today approved and sent to the House for full debate a bill to raise the state's tax level from $70 to $87 a week.

The House Labor and Commerce Committee approved the bill after representatives of the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the Virginia AFL-CIO voiced their support.

The two organizations, often reflecting management and other labor, agree so seldom that Julian S. Carper, president of the Virginia AFL-CIO, told the committee, "this is the second time this session the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the AFL-CIO have been in wholehearted agreement."

Committee member Richard M. Bagley, D-Hampton, could not resist smiling as he said, "In that case, God save the Commonwealth."

The committee also approved a bill sponsored by Sen. Leroy S. Bendheim, D-Alexandria, that would ease the way for localities who find themselves taking over private transit companies to get federal funds.

Bendheim said the bill simply spells out rights of employees of the private company when a locality takes over operations.

This is necessary, Bendheim said, for the local governing bodies to qualify for funds available under the federal Urban Mass Transportation Act.

It does not bind localities to terms of labor contracts already in force, Bendheim responded when Del. Stanley A. Bryan, D-Chesapeake, asked.

### Three survive, 39 men missing in tug sinking

VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - Four bodies have been recovered and 39 men are missing following the sinking of a Mexican navy tug in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, officials said today.

Navy officials said only three survivors were pulled from the water miles off Veracruz.

(In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychometry).

Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of top psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions.

"And if these impressions and predictions were coordinated by the police and FBI, it would give the Hearsts information they would not get otherwise."

The Hearst family has not replied to Owens.

Owens claims to be half man, half space intelligence. According to Owens, his abilities in psychokinesis (mind over matter) and extrasensory perception are the blessings of creatures from the cosmos. He has a pretty good record in predicting storms, earthquakes, pro football upsets, collisions of ships at sea and, once in a while, an assassination.

Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock.

This is one time when Owens, who has been proclaimed a super psychic by Saga Magazines and other publications, hopes he is all wrong.

If the Hearsts want him, Owens is near his phone over there on Eastern Shore, puffing away on a cigar and practicing psychokinesis and other things.

## Three survive, 39 men missing in tug sinking

VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) -- Four bodies have been recovered and 39 men are missing following the sinking of a Mexican navy tug in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, officials said today.

Navy officials said only three survivors were pulled from the waters 60 miles off Veracruz. Boats, planes and helicopters were searching for survivors or bodies.

Authorities said many of the missing crewmen may have reached the coast on the tug's two liferafts and not been found because of the mountainous terrain.
