Quakes scare Californians
United Press International
PLEASANTON, Calif. — For
many Livermore Valley residents,
the terror of the recent earthquake
and aftershocks continued long after
the ground stopped trembling.
Two weeks after the first earth
quake of Jan. 24, women were still
unable to sleep soundly, suffered
crying spells, headaches and weight
loss, had bad dreams and were con
tinually fearful and anxious.
Children suffered nightmares and
had to sleep with their parents.
Some were still too afraid, two weeks
later, to go to school. The men, what
ever they felt, kept silent.

Responding to a barrage of tele
phone calls following the initial
Thursday quake and a weekend of
two strong aftershocks, the Alameda
County Mental Health Services cli
nic in Pleasanton quickly organized
two-hour seminars in which dis
traught citizens could express their
fears and anxieties. The first session
Jan. 31 drew 38 people.
Late last week, a UPI reporter was
invited to sit in on a session attended
by nine women, all still badly upset
by the quake and the much-
publicized promise by seismologists
of “The Big One” — the major earth
quake expected to hit California in
this decade.
“TV and the newspapers scared
the pants off me,” said one older
woman, who was seconded by every
member of the group.
Two days later, on a Saturday
evening, an aftershock actually lar
ger than the original quake struck
again.
Several of the women said they
had been unable to take showers for
fear of being caught naked. One
woman with two children said she
now carries a flashlight at all times
after dark, in case the lights go out.
“The common theme that
emerges in the sessions is that an
earthquake is unpredictable. You are
out of control. There is a fear of the
unknown, ” says Diane Hall, a county
psychiatric social worker who orga
nized the seminars.
Baker gets time equal

ary airing of “Hell Cats of the Navy "
starring Ronald Reagan, would come
under FCC’s “equal time” clause.
Supporters of Republican hopeful
Howard Baker did, however.
Following a showing of the 1948
film on WGTU-TV’s “$2.98 Movie”
program, Baker’s Michigan field
coordinator Julie Weeks asked Win
ters to grant the Tennssee senator
equal time.
“When I first heard about it, I
thought we should grant equal time
to any candidate who had appeared
in a 1948 movie,” Winters said. “But
they (the FCC) didn’t see the humor
in it.”
Winters was told to give the Baker
campaign air time equal to the
amount Reagan spent on the screen.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Despite a
mother’s repeated anguished
appeals, leftist guerrillas have failed
to produce any word on the fate of
Richard Starr, a Peace Corps volun
teer kidnapped three years ago Feb.
14.
Starr, a botanist from Edmonds,
Wash., was working for a Colombian
government agency when he was
seized Feb. 14, 1977, in the town of
La Macarena in the sparsely settled
Meta Territory in Southeastern Col
ombia.
Seven months after the kidnap
ping, the Colombian Revolutionary
Armed Forces — a guerrilla group
known by its Spanish initials FARC
— delivered a statement to a national
radio network offering to negotiate
for Starr’s release through the U.S.
embassy in Bogota.
“Richard Starr in in good health
and since his capture by the forces of
FARC, he has been well taken care
of,” the guerrilla statement said.
That statement 2-1/2 years ago was
the last public word on Starr’s fate,
but people close to the case are

known to have received word that he
was alive three months later.
Periodic unsubstantiated reports
in the Colombian press have said
both that Starr is still alive or dead,
but it has been impossible to confirm
either version.
The kidnapping is approaching the
grim record of American business
man William Niehous, who was held
by guerrillas in Venezuela more than
three years and four months before
being rescued by authorities last
June.
Starr’s mother, Charlotte Starr
Jensen, also of Edmonds, has made
repeated appeals to the guerrillas to
release her son or at least provide
proof that he is alive.
