I asked him what he did that put him in such jlfood condition for a man his age.” f§ “I told him I exercised every day and had since 1906,” said Lientz. I “I learned these exercises then in the physical education class at Occidental Academy, a preparatory school for Occidental College. These are simple exercises that don’t take much room or any special equip ment, easy to do anywhere.’’ The doctor suggested Lientz put his regimen in writing to help others stay fit into old age. Between the chores on his fruit ranch in Fillmore, Calif., Lientz turned out a 16-page booklet. It was not his first writing. He was a reporter for the Los Angeles Even ing Express from 1911 to 1917. “Lremember going out in a horse and buggy to interview Frank Chance, the ballplayer,” of Tinker- to-Evers-to-Chance fame, he recal led, “and I interviewed Clarence Darrow during the Los Angeles Times’ bombing trial.” In World War I, he and a brother went into the business of converting coal-powered industry to burning oil (“the antithesis of today’s situation ”) and during the Depression of the 1930s switched to the pharmaceutic al business. “Medical research al ways fascinated me. “My family moved to California for my health in 1905. When I was 8 years old, I lost the sight in my right eye when I hit a dynamite cap and it exploded sand into my face. “I just wasn’t very strong, but at the academy, we had to take these exercises, and they made me feel good and were easy to take any where. They are not strenuous and maintain good circulation through out the body. “I’ve never had a headache and I don’t take any pills.” “Oliver’s exercises” are simple mobility and stretching movements, much like the warmup exercises athletes go through before workouts. He does each of the 22 movements 12 times, which takes him 15 mi nutes or less. Schrock calls them “a good exam ple of useful exercises for older people.” 2 Jonestown defectors found shot todeath in home ed ■ i,x NRC reviews reactor failure ix cuts for indivi as during the iki ould start as at i the 1981 fisd- ;et $8.6 billion: ■iety of energy tt es, while indivi n in tax creditsl United Press International I CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission be gan a review Wednesday of a Crystal 1 revenues arty River nuclear power plant control percent tax raltt system that “went haywire” and spil- major oil cob led up to 60,000 gallons of radioac- td a 30 percenttsi tiye water in a sealed containment ;covered oil,: building. rd to recoverThe accident at the Florida Power ed out by espe Corp. plant Tuesday did not release radiation into the environment and there was no damage to the reactor core. ^ (( Within six hours of the incident — iy(^l the most serious since the Three Mile Island nuclear crisis — FPC -•1 ^.-IjBicials began a “cold shutdown” of A. 13011' the 825-megawatt reactor.

FPC and NRC officials \ said they had determined there was no equipment damage, the reactor ) core and its coolant system had re turned to normal and radiation levels inside the building had dropped to . 5 rem, “which is entirely normal.” Robert M.

En gineers, however had no immediate explanation for the failure of the ori ginal equipment. Johnson said there are “all kinds of backup systems,” for the reactor monitors and controls, but he could not explain why it took so long for them to activate. “That’s one of the things we don’t know and we ll be looking into,’ he said. One of FPC’s two 375-megawatt coal-fired generators at Crystal River was also recently shut down for re pairs. Johnson declined to speculate when the Crystal River plant would be restored to normal operation, but other officials said it will be a matter of “weeks, not days.” United Press International BERKELEY, Calif. — A couple who defected from the People’s Temple cult and said they were on the Rev. Jim Jones’ “death list” were shot to death Tuesday night in their home which once served as a haven for cult defectors, police said Wednesday. The bodies of Al Joseph Mills, 52, and his wife, Jeannie, 40, were found late Tuesday. Their daughter. Daph ne, 16, was critically wounded in the shooting. A son, Eddie, 17, was un hurt. Police Capt. Thomas Johnson said Eddie was in the house at the time, but could not give any information about the shootings. Police were alerted to the killings when a neighbor, reported hearing the Mills dog barking about 9:30 p. m. But neighbors said they had not heard shots. The Mills, members of Peoples Temple from 1969 to 1975, founded the Human Freedom Center in Ber keley in 1978 as a refuge for defectors from People’s Temple and other cults. Following the mass murder- suicide ritual of Jones and 900 of his followers in Guyana, members of the Berkeley center feared for their lives. They said they believed Jones had established “hit squads” to execute defectors and the Mills, who be lieved they were on a “death list,” requested police protection at the time. One of their daughters, Diana, told police she had received threats and seen armed men in their yards. United Press International CHICAGO — The city’s striking firefighters offered to return to work and give up the right to live outside the city in exchange for 100 percent amnesty, a spokesman for Local 2 of the Fire Fighters Union said Wednesday. Thomas O’Donnell said a prop osed contract worked out with the help of a federal mediator was sent to City Hall late Tuesday. The union’s rank and file was expected to vote on the pact late Wednesday at a meet- ing at the International Amphitheatre. “Speaking as an individual, I’m optimistic,” O’Donnel said. “I think it will be ratified.” The agreement came after Mayor Jane M. Byrne told the Chicago Building Congress some 950 fully trained firefighters — not hastily ORDER NOW 16 9 !tax/doz/ 10+TAX/lDOZ.

City Personnel Director Charles Pounian said 667 recruits have been hired since the strike began. Union attorney J. Dale Berry cal led the proposal “a definite change in our position.” Berry said under the plan, 15 points of dispute would be submitted to arbitration. But, he noted, the proposal still retains the union’s position against a “no strike” clause in the final contract.
