Son receives probation
United Press International
HOUSTON — With hugs
from jurors and handshakes
from prosecutors, a son, 26,
was sentenced to three years
of probation for shooting his
comatose father in an attemp
ted mercy killing.
The jurors Monday still
made it clear they did not con
done euthanasia and sent
enced Billy Ray Clore to one
year of probation more than
the minimum sentence for his
attempted murder conviction.
“I’m relieved,” said Clore,
who had testified he shot his
father in the head to fulfill a
promise not to let him suffer.
“I’m pleased with the verdict.”
Even before he was con
victed Friday, sympathetic
prosecutors R.K. Hansen and
Dick Bax had said they would
not try to send Clore to prison.
After he was sentenced they
shook his hand and wished
him well. Juror Phyllis Massie
said that extra year of proba
tion was important. “We
didn’t want it to appear that
we were condoning mercy
killing,” she said. “Mercy kill
ing cannot be condoned.”
Billy Ray’s brother, Bob,
31, when asked what his
father’s reaction would have
been to the sentence, said,
“He (Robert Clore) loved all
of us but never would have
wanted this (trial) for Billy.”
He said the case should
never have been prosecuted.
“Billy is not a criminal,” he
said.
Billy Clore said he just
wanted to go back to the fami
ly tire dealership in nearby
Spring, which he and his
father, Robert Clore, 63, ran
for years before the elder
Clore fell deathly ill in
November 1982.
The son shot his father on
March 21 after the elder Clore
remained comatose for four
months following kidney fai
lure and two heart seizures.
Robert Clore died 2V2 weeks
after the shooting.
The charge against Billy
Ray was reduced Friday from
murder to attempted murder
when prosecutors got infor
mation the shooting may not
have killed him. The elder
Clore’s attending physician
said death was caused by con
gestive heart failure.
Two disappear during
survival training trip
United Press International
ROCHFORD, S.D. — Deputy
sheriffs searched the Black Hills
for two Massachusetts boys mis
sing on what the local sheriff cal
led an “irresponsible” overnight
survival trip.
Civil defense workers halted
their search at dusk Monday and
planned to rejoin the deputies
Tuesday.
Christopher Estas, 13, and
Erik Laub, 11, both of West
Newton, Mass., last were seen
Friday night at the Black Fox
campground near Rochford.
The boys were equipped only
with one-day food packs, sleep
ing bags and blankets.
Pennington County Sheriff
Don Holloway criticized the sur
vival group leader, Daniel
Senecal, for the trip.
“I think he was irresponsible
to turn those kids loose in the
Black Hills in the first place,”
Holloway said. “I don’t know
what he was trying to accom
plish. He had 31 kids and he did
that with all of them.”
Holloway said the boys had
no maps or compasses in an area
that is heavily forested, with
thick underbrush and large
creeks.
“I feel horrible and devas
tated by the whole thing,” Senec
al said. But he denied “absolute
ly” he had acted irresponsibly.
Senecal is a sixth grade
teacher of life sciences at Fessen
den School, a private schobl in
Newton, Mass. He said he has
been leading trips to the area
around Rapid City for 14 years.
Erik’s father, Albert Laub,
said he was surprised Erik
joined the optional survival
training part of the trip.
The survival exercise began
Friday night.
White collar training supported

us' supers® a ru * e> he said, investment

i HeTj®,. th “" ! "
.inuandil “ There really are only three
investment
ways a company can expand its
business: through new products
and processes, by advertising
and promotion and by im
proved productivity through
training,” he said. The first two
of these cost a fortune compared
to the cost of training.
“White collar training is the
new frontier,” Sandy told Un
ited Press International. “Blue
collar training in America al
ways has been good. The unions’
apprentice system and the disci
pline imposed by the assembly
line assured that, but much
white collar training has been
neglected or hit-or-miss.”
He said the video display ter
minal and other electronic office
machines are imposing some of
the discipline on office workers
that the apprentice system and
the assembly line imposed on
blue collar workers.
“But there’s still a lot to be
done,” he added. “Many of our
businesses have no history of
efficient white collar training.
Industries that only recently
have been subjected to severe
competition are likely to have
neglected training of white col
lar workers. Their manage
ments tend to panic when they
are first confronted with the
problem. They look for short
cuts but finally have to face up to
the need for intensive worker
training.”
Sandy organized his training
firm, Sandy Corp., in 1971. He
had come to Detroit 20 years
earlier from Baltimore to join
the Jam Handy Organization
which makes commercial and in
dustrial films, many of them
training films.
When he left Handy he took
58 people with him, but Jamison
Handy, founder of Jam Handy,
was not dismayed. He even put
some money into Sandy’s busi
ness because he thought Sandy’s
ideas about better training
methods would satisfy a great
need.
“Our business is 98 percent
professional skill, wide know
ledge of the technological needs
of various businesses and of how
to train workers to fulfill them,”
he said. “The other 2 percent is
inspiration; perhaps you could
call it magic.”
Most of the activity of Sandy
Corp. boils down to communica
tion in one form or another —
brochures, lectures, slides, film
strips or what have you. But San
dy says he has discovered in the
videodisc the most comprehen
sive and flexible of all training
tools.
He says his firm has produced
about 150 videodisc programs.
He also has helped General
Motors set up 3,000 videodisc
training centers around the
country.
“The videodisc and a videod
isc player give you a two-way au
dio-visual training system with
stop-and-go retrieval and dia
logue between teacher and
worker that no other medium
can provide,” he said.

in movies, on album covers and
on other objects which appeal to
children and teenagers.
In Washington, the FTC de
clined comment on the com
plaint.
“We discovered that Marl
boro cigarettes are seen at least
22 times in Superman II, often
during times of intense action,
but always with a well-planned
direction and detail,” Reinbold
said.
He said this is only one inst
ance of tobacco companies’
efforts to encourage young peo
ple to smoke and to establish
brand-name identification
among children.
The Reinbolds, who operate
the Damon & Grace anti
smoking program, displayed
nearly two dozen examples of
tobacco company promotion
aimed at children.
The Reinbolds said they hope
the FTC will establish youth
marketing guidelines for tobac
co companies and other promo
ters of cigarettes.
Reinbold said he believes his
complaint is the first filed with
the FTC by a commercial stop
smoking program.
The complaint alleges that:
•Time-Life, promoted smok
ing in a children’s program cal
led “Braingames” by showing a
full-size Marlboro billboard
“just long enough to implant the
brand name firmly in the sub
conscious of children who
watched this popular program.”
•Warner Communications,
through Warner Brothers Re
cords, produced an Eric Clapton
album entitled “Money &
Cigarettes.” Clapton is shown
with cigarettes on the album cov
er. His concert tour is being sup
ported financially by the maker
of Camel cigarettes.

“Because of the significant
elevations in systemic and cen
tral retinal arterial blood press
ures, pulse rate, and intraocular
pressure reported in these ex
periments, it is our recommen
dation that caution should be
observed in the prescription of
the use of inversion boots,” the
report said.
“Our findings cause us to spe
culate that this fad could be
potentially dangerous for any
one with glaucoma, hyperten
sion, a weakness in a blood vessel
wall (and) individuals on anti
coagulants or aspirin therapy, or
people with spinal instability.”

About 1 million Americans
use gravity inversion therapy
and pay from $80 to $1,500 for
inversion systems that utilize
gravity to decompress spine
disks and stretch back muscles.
