Journal, Augusta, Feb. 18, 1976 Patty Hearst vividly describes captivity SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A tearful Patricia Hearst told her jury Tuesday that she was raped, threatened with death and forced to take part in a bank robbery by a band of terrorists who dreamed of world revolution. In her most vivid description yet of her captivity by the Symbionese Liberation Army, the young heiress testified federal bank robbery trial that she was sexually and psychologically tortured while blindfolded and imprisoned in cell-like closets. Finally, she said, she was given the choice of joining her abductors or being killed. It was the second day of Miss Hearst's testimony in her own defense.
She had given details of captivity in earlier testimony with the jury absent, but Tuesday was the first time the panel had heard her tell of sexual assault and the events just before the bank robbery with which she is charged. Miss Hearst painted a picture of relentless indoctrination by the revolutionary SLA and a blindfolded captivity where sounds were the only link with the world outside. She said she was an unwilling bank robber and had read "from a script" when she renounced her family and declared herself to be the revolutionary 'Tania." Her' voice breaking, Miss Hearst identified her attackers as William Wolfe for whom she once pro'claimed her love and later disavowed i it and Donald "Cinque" DeFreeze, leader of the SLA. Under questioning by attorney F. Lee Bailey, she said they accosted her at separate times in her closet prison and forced her "to have sexual intercourse." Miss Hearst said the first sexual attack occurred after one of the SLA women prepared her by telling her that she "was going to sleep with William She said Angela Atwood gave the explanation, "She said everyone else wanted me to know more of what it was like being in the cell with them and everyone else had to take care of the needs of other people and that sexual freedom was part of the function of the cell a sil.
though I was in the closet, I should know about it." That night, she said, Wolfe came into the closet. "I don't now what if anything he said he came into the closet and closed the door Then Miss Hearst's voice broke and she cried softly. "Did he make you lie down on the floor?" asked Bailey. "Yes," she said. "Then what did he make you "Have sexual Miss Hearst said almost in a whisper.
She was then asked if anyone else entered the closet, and she said, "Yes, it was "Did he do the same thing?" Bailey asked. "Yes," Miss Hearst replied. Then the attorney turned the questioning to another topic. In her earlier testimony Tuesday, Miss Hearst stammered as she recalled the words of Defreeze saying that "the war council was thinking of giving me a decision of well, he said, fight or die, that I would either have to stay with them and join up with them or I'd be killed and that I better start thinking about it." The 21-year-old newspaper heiress, wearing a navy blue pants suit and a softly bowed white blouse, took the Tax alliance (Continued from Page 1) ernor, given his philosophy, has probably gone as far as he can go and he deserves a pat on the for that. But we have do better.
Longley hoped to get the labor organizations to support his proposal. He plans to submit legislation on it despite their decision not to. His plan called for an $8.9 million pay increase ($3.75 million from the general fund) and is based on a recently completed compensation and classification study. His proposal would move all state employes to their proper classifications. Most would receive raises of between five and 10 per cent; a few would get raises of more than 10 per cent and a few, no raises.
Longley's bill a also called for administrative changes that would save the state about $1 million a year. Those include bi -weekly pay checks, limiting merit raises, cutting out expense accounts for most luncheon meals, and an attempt to tighten vacation and sick leave policies. Carnevale said the unions would work against those concessions Longley asked of state workers. Obituaries, Funerals Mrs. Barbara B.

She began her account Friday, On Monday, the jury was taken on a tour of two SLA "safe houses" where Miss Hearst was imprisoned. Her account of life as a kidnap victim was interspersed with recreations through tape recordings of the messages Miss Hearst first from the underground. With Bailey leading her along the path of her narrative, Miss Hearst told of her distorted perceptions while locked for weeks in a hot, stuffy closet.
Sounds became important, she said. "There was an ice cream truck, and I could hear it go by. Airplanes would go over I could hear a lot of clicking noises and it sounded like clips going in and out of guns and sometimes, when the closet door would be opened, sometimes they'd make noises like they were shooting, and I could tell like they were standing right in front of the closet and doing it at me." Miss Hearst said that some time after March when the SLA made a tape in which the captive heiress accused her parents of indifference to her plight, her captors put her into a garbage can, placed it inside the trunk of a car and took her on a drive that lasted about an hour. "I was just kind of hunched up in the garbage said Miss Hearst. "They dropped it a couple of times when they took it out of the She said she was placed in another closet but was allowed to come out and have her blindfold taken off around April 1.

Despite new surgical methods, radiation therapy, and previously used single-drug therapy, the survival rate after breast cancer has not changed in more than 30 years, said Dr. Philip Schein. "If the results with combined drug therapy hold up, this will be the first thing in four decades to improve survival." "This represents the first substantial evidence in years that something else can be done for breast cancer," said Schein, of Georgetown University Medical School.
"These are extremely important rer Cancer researchers and therapists were cautiously optimistic Tuesday in commenting on an Italian study being published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study, conducted by Dr. Gianni Bonadonna and associates at the National Cancer Institute of Italy, involved 386 women who had had radical mastectomies removal of the breast, lymph nodes and nearby muscles because of breast cancer. Using a drug treatment called CMF involving a combination of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil the researchers found that cancer eventually recurred in only 5 per cent of the women who had the chemical therapy. This compared with recurrence in 24 per cent of women who did not have CMF, the study said.

SLA a dangerous "foreign sought to establish the captors by asking about kinds of people they expected poor people, especially like aspects to this whole plan? A.
Yes Just that white people couldn't be trusted because they were sellouts historically and that the only way for black people to be able to trust white people was if they showed that they were willing to die." She said the white members of the SLA De Freeze was the only black in the tiny group "always talked about that, you know, 'we're willing to die' and that there was nothing better than to die for the people." It was in that context, she said, that they told her she might have to "fight or die" for the cause. Miss Hearst, giving her first account of the political motives of her captors, said they aligned themselves with such groups as the Black Liberation Army and the Black Guerrilla Family but had no use for the Weather Underground, the radical organization composed largely of whites. They didn't like the Weather Underground because all they did was bombings and they never actually killed anybody and they didn't like that at all. They thought that it was too symbolic," she said.

The Italian work is based on research conducted by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, (NCI) which found that the drug combination produced longer survival in women with advanced cancer than any one drug. "It was thought after our results with advanced cancer that it might be good to try the therapy on not so advanced breast cancer cases," said Dr.

Traditionally, chemotherapy had been used only after surgery and radiation have failed to arrest disease," Krakoff said.
"That attitude, regarding chemotherapy as the last resort, is changing and chemotherapy for early cancer treatment has great Krakoff said the larger implication is that chemotherapy can be used in a wide variety of early cancers. Researchers said a number of cancer centers are using 5 multidrug chemotherapy as postoperative breast cancer treatment. The Italian lab's results are in line with their preliminary findings, they said.
