men who picked up two of Atlan
ta’s 25 young black murder vic
tims, but they said no “common
denominator” has been estab-
lished linking the victims.
Public Safety Commissioner
Lee P. Brown acknowledged that
a composite drawing exists of a
black man who a witness says gave
a ride to Eddie “Bubba” Duncan,
the 22nd victim, on the last day
the youth was seen.
That composite was the second
one developed from witness
accounts of black men who picked
up victims.
Two weeks ago, police released
a composite drawing of a light
skinned black man with a heavy
mustache and horn-rimmed glas
ses who a witness said picked up
21-year-old Larry Rogers, the
23rd victim.
Brown told a news conference,
however, the composite involving
Duncan’s case is not being re
leased.
“We don’t feel it serves any pur
pose to the investigation to release
(the composite),” he said. “There
are reasons that we are not releas
ing it now. It would not be in the
best interests of the investiga
tion.”
Brown would not say whether
the composites might depict the
same man.
Despite the existence of compo
site drawings. Brown said investi
gators “have been unable to find a
common denominator meaningful
to the investigation.”
He said investigators still do not
have crucial evidence to solve any
of the cases — such as eyewitness
accounts of a slaying, a confession
or a crime scene.
“But I believe somebody some
where out there knows something
that could help us put this puzzle
together,” Brown said.
Meanwhile, a source close to
the investigation said the killer
stalking Atlanta’s black neighbor
hoods has not switched to adult
quarry although the last three vic
tims were over 21.
Until March 30, the oldest vic
tims had been 16. Then two re
tarded 21-year-olds were killed,
and the latest victim, Michael
Cameron McIntosh, 23, was slow-
witted. All were quite small —
McIntosh was 5-feet-5 and 120
pounds.
“They’re about the same size (as
the children),” the source said
Tuesday. “The only thing is that
they’re a little older. They’ve just
been at the wrong place at the
right time.”
McIntosh, whose name was
added Tuesday to the official
police task force list of 25 mur
dered young blacks, was never re
ported missing. Darron Glass, 10,
is still missing.
Police said McIntosh lived be
hind the seafood restaurant that
employed Joseph Bell, 15, and the
two regularly played basketball
together. Bell’s partially-clad
body was discovered Sunday in
the South River, one day before
McIntosh’s body was found nude
in another suburban river, the
Chattahoochee.
Five of the last six victims have
been dumped in rivers, a proce
dure the killer or killers adopted
after news reports of fibrous evi
dence being found on bodies, the
source said.
He said the killers may be des
troying the clothes and throwing
the bodies in rivers “so there
won’t be any trace evidence on
them.”
Another recent pattern, strip
ping victims to undershorts or
nudity, points more strongly than
ever to a sexual motive in the mur
ders, said Dr. John Feegel of the
Fulton County Medical Examin
er’s office.
“We have found no evidence of
sexual mutilation,” Feegal said,

murder. I think that proh

Some fear a blacklist reminiscent
of the McCarthy era.
“We are tired of people always
starting their investigations with
Hollywood just because it is prom
inent and will generate publicity,”
said Kim Fellner, spokeswoman
for the Screen Actors Guild.
“We know alcohol and drug
abuse exist in our industry,” she
said, “but in no greater proportion
than in the rest of society.”
The House Committee on Nar
cotics Abuse and Control sche
duled hearings today and Thurs
day — the first in a series examin
ing drug abuse in the entertain
ment industry.
Two celebrities scheduled to

testify — Cathy Lee Crosby and
yL Grant Tinker — backed out this
week, saying they feared the hear-
ings would lead to a blacklist simi-
■«»A lar to the one that evolved after
1950s.
Crosby said through a spokes
woman she decided not to join the
hearings because she feared the
probe would be an investigation of
“who’s taking drugs in Holly
wood.”
“The perception is the industry
has closed ranks and said, ‘We’re
not going to testify,” said Phil
Leshin, an aide to committee
chairman Rep. Leo C. Zeferetti,
D-N.Y. “Everybody’s clamming
up.”
Some witnesses were lined up
for the hearing, however, includ

McKeon, who plays Tommy on
the “Alice” television series, Los
Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and
California Attorney General
George Deukmejian.

WASHINGTON — Domestic
corporations were assessed a 48
percent federal income tax rate in
1978, but the Energy Department
has calculated that the top 26 inte
grated oil firms actually paid only
11.9 percent.
The agency’s Office of the
Financial Reporting System,
which made the 1978 effective tax
calculation, is working on its 1979
report — the only uniform data
available to the public on the in
dustry’s profits, costs and taxes.
But the 1979 “Performance
Profiles of Major Energy Produc
ers,” slated for publication in
June, may be the last of its kind.
The Reagan administration has
dropped the report from its
budget and is expected to seek re
peal of the legislation requiring
the firms to provide the financial
data on grounds it is a burden to
the industry.
