FBI denies knowing of plotr) r
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The FBI says
it “has no knowledge” to back up a
newspaper report that two terrorist
cults have joined forces in a mission
to free Charles Manson and jailed
members of his “family” and the
Symbionese Liberation Army.
The Long Beach Independent
Press-Telegram said in a copyright
story Sunday that SLA and Manson
clan members are recruiting new
followers to carry out an ongoing
crime spree aimed at freeing their
imprisoned comrades.
“Our street sources tell us that
the group is planning something
that will make the Patty Hearst
thing look penny ante,” the news
paper quoted one intelligence agent
as saying.
Law enforcement officers repor
tedly told the newspaper the two
groups have merged to carry out a
series of recent crimes, including
bank robberies in Northern Califor
nia and an intricate credit card
scam.
The group to date has raised
nearly $2 million, intended to help
Manson, his followers and SLA
members escape from prison, in
formants reportedly told the FBI.
But Harry Brown, the duty agent
in charge of the Los Angeles FBI
office, said Sunday his office “has no
knowledge of any ongoing conspi
racy involving the SLA and the
Manson group in the Southern
California area.”
The Long Beach paper said three
of the suspects have become profi
cient helicopter pilots, and the
group has stockpiled weapons and
gold and purchased thousands of
dollars worth of freeze-dritij
and camping equipment.

NEW ORLEANS — The daugh
ter of supermarket magnate John
Schwegmann says her father pur
chased two homes and left $100,000
in his will to a woman who filed a
“palimony” suit against him.
“I think that should be enough,”
said Melba Margaret Schwegmann,
the only family member who has
commented on the suit thus far.
“I can’t understand why this
woman would do this,” Miss
Schwegmann said.
Mary Ann Blackledge, 37, who
also goes by the last name of
Schwegmann, filed the suit last
week. It asks for $30 million, half

Schwegmann, 68, a former state

member of the Louisiana Public

A hearing on the case may be de
