United Press International
MEMPHIS, Term. — A quick
flip of the wrist or twist of an arm
and the tables can be turned on
any would-be attacker who picks
out a wheelchair victim as an
easy mark.
That’s the message preached
by Steve Reddish and his part
ner, Lt. Jim Bullard, who have
put together a program on
wheelchair self-defense for the
handicapped.
“How to Wheel and Deal with
Your Attacker” is the title of the
31-minute videotape the part
ners produced.
Now, they’re working on a
book and slide presentation
highlighting the same wheel
chair defense techniques used in
the film.
Bullard is a self-defense in
structor with the Memphis
Police Department. Reddish,
whose spine was severed in a
motorcycle accident, is a former
undercover policeman. He in
vestigated organized crime for
five years as a paraplegic con
fined to a wheelchair.
Together they took a self de
fense course that Bullard de
veloped for women and tailored
it to suit people in wheelchairs.
“It’s effective. It works,” Red
dish said in an interview.
The defense technique com
bines simple forms of karate, ju
jitsu, aikido and other martial
arts that focus on breaking an
attacker’s hold, throwing him
off balance and waging a coun
terattack — all from the sitting
position.
“Somebody in a wheelchair
presents an easy victim,” Red
dish said. “A mugger is going to
take the path of least resistance.
Say there’s a burly guy walking
down the street and a guy in a
wheelchair. Which one would he
pick?”
Reddish and Bullard began
collaborating on the wheelchair
program in 1976. Finding out
there was little information on
the subject in print or on film,
the two men decided to put the
self-defense video together.

9 San FranciStJrickens — breeder hens and

iipilers — died during a single
reekeiid last month, the Nation-
il|Broiler Council reported.
|“We kind of got caught in our
wn trap,” said Aubrey Cuzik,
lad of broiler production for
Ison Foods in Springdale,
ilk., one of the nation’s largest
■ocessors.
■ “We got the chickens a bit
latter each year," he said. “So
fiaturally conditions got a bit
mure crowded in the houses,
Bid they were more likely to be
|fiected by the heat.
■“We probably grow them up a
Barter-pound heavier than a
par ago,” he said, noting appe-
ti-te-dampening heat forced
Bson to hold birds off the mar
ket longer to help them gain
weight.
“Of course when we leave
them in the heat longer, more of
them would die,” he said. “We’d
obviously love to have a so-called
super chicken that could take
the heat.”
Tyson sells roughly four mil
lion processed broilers each
week. Heat destroys about 5 per
cent or about 200,000 chickens.
At one time, efforts were
made to cross a heat-toughened
Egyptian chicken with a white
Leghorn and create a breeder
hen able to resist high tempera
tures, said Lionel Barton, exten
sion poultryman with the Uni
versity of Arkansas.
“The Egyptian breed was very
toydise^ Jjtad-jieat.tbut
didn’t lay many eggs,” jhe,said„
“A Leghorn lays a good number
of eggs. Unfortunately, we en
ded up with a bird that looked
sort of like a white Leghorn, but
couldn’t lay many eggs.”
A chicken reacts much like a
dog to the heat, he said.
“They have no sweat glands
so they must pant to dissipate the
heat,” he said. “They ruffle their
feathers, hold their wings open.
Obviously they’re very tempera
ture sensitive.”
But he noted chickens have
less trouble with heat than chill,
which is why the poultry indus
try is centered largely in the
South.
Mechanical efforts to im
prove houses — using evapora
tive and mist cooling — would
save more chickens, he said.
“But this is a high volume, low
margin business, and farmers
don’t want to spend money mak
ing chickens comfortable.”
Indian River’s Conerly said it
took several generations before
researchers were able to find a
breeder hen able to withstand
the sizzling Texas summers.
“We got our breed stock from
Germany, where the chickens
had been used to the cool North
Sea,” he said. “The first year we
had severe losses, 60 percent or
so, due to the heat. We never
used cool-cell houses, but ex
posed them to the local climate.
“The next generation showed
a better survival rate, until now
our birds are .pretty much accli
mated. In fact, our day-old
chicks are marketed very heavily
in places like the Middle East."
