Wilma Tenant of Stillwater,- mother of the girl who said she was awakened by nearby screams hours after the campers began a weeklong outing, said her daughter told her that adult leaders discounted the disturbance and remained in their tents. The three girls, Lori Lee Farmer, , of Tulsa; Doris Denise Milner, 10, of Tulsa and Michele Guse, 9, of Broken Arrow, were beaten to death in their sleeping bags in a platform tent at Camp Scott, just south of Locust Grove in northeast Oklahoma’s recreational lake coun try, between 2 a.m. and 4 a. m. Monday. Investigators said two of them had been sexually attacked. Camp administrator Barbara Day said their bodies were found at 6 a.m. about 150 yards from their tent, zipped in their sleeping bags. Everybody had been accounted for at an 11 p.m. bedcheck. “Some of these girls heard what was going on,” Mrs. Tenant said yesterday. “They were told it was not worth investigating at the time it was happening, not until three or four hours. “My daughter, for one, heard some screaming. She talked to her leader. Her leader told her to lie back down and go to sleep, that there was nothing worth checking out. The leaders remained in their tents. They should have an adult leader in each tent.” Mayes County Sheriff Pete Weaver said camp leaders, minutes after the bodies were discovered, Jury investigates use of bank funds DM United Press International WASHINGTON — A federal grand jury today charged John S. Gleason Jr., former national Ameri can Legion commander and former head of the Veterans Administra tion, with misapplying more than $500,000 in hank funds for his per sonal use. The Justice Department said a three-count indictment returned in U S. District Court in Chicago charged Gleason, former board chairman of the Mercantile National Bank of Chicago, with converting $528,745 of bank funds to his own use. Gleason, 62, of Winnetka, was national American Legion comman der in the 1950s and was head of the Veterans Administration from 1961 to 1965. The grand jury charged the mis applications of funds began on Nov. 1974. The first count charged Gleason caused loans to be made to Earthu Watchers Inc., a Wisconsin corpo ration in which he held 60 per cent ownership but reported he was only a 2 per cent shareholder. A second count charged Gleason misapplied approximately $60,000 of the bank’s funds through a loan to to loan that Gleason’s I. Irving Davidson — was later converted personal use. The third count charged Gleason with making false statements in a proxy statement for Chicago Helicopter Industries Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commis sion on June 1, 1975. The indictment said the state ment failed to disclose that Gleason converted the proceeds of the loan to his own use. The Justice Department said the charge of misapplying funds by a bank officer carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine and making false and misleading statements on a proxy, five years and $10,000. began moving from tent to tent awakening the 100 campers and 40 staff members for an immediate trip by bus back to their homes. The children were not told about the murders until much later. “It makes me pretty bitter, very bitter,” Weaver said. “I feel like the investigation will bring results. I just don’t think we have that many nuts in this area. U.N. Mission stormed by terrorists United Press International NEW YORK — Croatian ter rorists stormed the Yugoslav Mis sion to the U.N. on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue Tuesday, shot one person and seized an unknown number of hostages on the fourth floor, police reported. The wounded man was identified as Radomir Medic, 58, a U.N. chauffeur. Police said Medic was shot at least once in the abdomen and was listed in serious condition at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was rushed for emergency treat ment. Police said the terrorists stormed the mission at Fifth Avenue and 67th Street shortly before 2:30 p.m., shooting Medic and seizing hostages on the fourth floor. The terrorists then threw leaflets into the street demanding indepen dence for Croatia. It was not known how many of the Creation nationalists were bar ricaded inside the mission, but police said at least two terrorists were known to be with the group of hostages. Police quickly surrounded the building, and the department’s hos tage negotiating team was sum moned to the scene. “I don’t think he (the murderer) was being selective of the girls. I think he was being selective of the tent. It was an end tent and the closest one was 50 to 75 feet away.” A spokesman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation provided only the barest informa tion: “Apparently, from viewing the .scene and the bodies, the little girls were beaten to death. There is some evidence of sexual molestation on at least two of them. a- ■ r. ■M hf-l PRINTING & OFFICE SUPPLIES 707 TEXAS AVE., COLLEGE STATION OPEN B-30-5-30 MON.-SAT. 846-5794 WE DO COPY WORK Sun Theatres 333 University 846-9808 Super-Grody Movies Double-Feature Every Week Special Midnight Shows Friday & Saturday $3 per person No one under 18 Ladies Free $3 With This Ad BOOK STORE & 25c PEEP SHOWS iRf a.l “ WELCOME AGGIES!
