McDonald’s devilish rumor ‘false’
United Press International
OAK BROOK, Ill. — Officials of
McDonald’s Corp., admitting they
look “a little ridiculous,” said this
week they are trying to quell a base
less rumor that company profits
have been turned over to a devil-
worshiping cult.
The rumor has hamburger mag
nate Ray Kroc, who founded and
runs McDonald’s, handing over
money to the San Francisco-based
Church of Satan. The story has been
circulating for about a year, chiefly
in the Bible Belt, McDonald’s
•spokeswoman Stephanie Skurdy
said, and has appeared in print in at
least one church bulletin.
"At first we didn’t want to dignify
it, she said. “But now it’s just red-
hot. ”
Timberlake said the firm also con
sidered a national advertising cam
paign to combat the rumor but de
cided that approach would only
spread the story to millions of
people who had not already heard
it.
Miss Skurdy said there may have
been some attempts to boycott
McDonald’s franchises because of
the rumor. But overall, she said, the
chain has seen no impact on sales.

Gray seal slaughter
temporarily delayed
United Press International
KIRKWALL, Scotland — A hired Norwegian seal hunting ship
returned unexpectedly to Kirkwall Wednesday, delaying Britain’s
controversial plan to kill about 5,000 gray seals to protect the Orkney
Islands fishing industry.
The Norwegian vessel, Nvitungen, was followed into port by the
Rainbow Warrior, a converted trawler chartered by the Greenpeace
ecological organization in an attempt to halt the seal slaughter.
The Norwegian ship, which Tuesday scouted the small group of
islands where the seals are located, returned to Kirkwall for discus
sions with two representatives of the Scottish Department ol Agricul
ture and Fisheries.
The hunt for 5,000 seals, including 4,000 pups, was scheduled to
start Wednesday. There was no indication of the nature of the talks on
land.
Pete Wilkinson, a spokesman for Greenpeace at Kirkwall said the
meeting appeared to be “slightly unusual since communications
between the government and the sealing operation are usually hand
led by radio.
But he was not optimistic that the hunt would be stopped and said
Greenpeace members were ready to take action, including placing
themselves between the seals and the hunters.
tection under the law.
“I really think we re going to get
together (with the credit union),”
she said. “I owe about $7,000 and
the house needs about $3,000 in re
pairs. I think that as long as I pay the
bills I will be able to keep the
house. ”
Mrs. Martin said the riding rein
forced the feeling that women in
Louisiana still “are treated like ani
mals.”
“Tm very disgusted,” she said.
“It’s an unreal situation in our coun
try and in this world where women
are really treated like animals. I feel
like going to the veterinarian.”
The head and master provision al
lows the husband to manage the
couple’s community property in
whatever way he wishes, even if the
wife is the primary breadwinner, as
Mrs. Martin contends she was.
Mrs. Martin claimed her es
tranged husband insisted on placing
a second mortgage on their house to
help his mother pay off debts. She
said she told her husband she could
not meet the payments, and the
credit union sued when it received
only $50 in payments.
Mrs. Martin failed to file a con
sent declaration with the mortgage
papers that would have prevented
her husband’s unilateral action.
