Abducted
Americans not found offer 4V2 months in Mem
Associated Press
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — On
a quiet Sunday morning, two Ameri
can couples went into an affluent
neighborhood selling Bibles and
were never seen again. Nearly 2'A
months later, there still is no clue to
their whereabouts or fate.
The two couples, Dennis and Rose
Carlson,of Redding, Calif., and Ben
jamin and Patricia Mascarenas, of
Ely, Nev., were in the neighborhood
on Dec. 2 when they were taken cap
tive and put into two separate cars.
U.S. Consulate officials say there
has been an exhaustive investigation
by Mexican officials, but so far there
has been no clue as to what hap
pened to the Americans.
There has been no ransom note
or telephone contact from the ab
ductors, all but eliminating kidnap-

According to police and Foreign
Ministry accounts, the two couples
had been selling Bibles in the Chapa-
lita neighborhood when several cars
drove up. Witnesses said six or seven
men forcibly escorted the four into
the cars. They said there was no vio
lence and no indication anyone was
armed.
The embassy also said the abduc
tors “conversed in English” with the
Americans before putting them in
two cars.
The two couples are among seven
missing Americans in this city, in

37, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Ad
ministration agent abducted Feb. 7
by four gunmen within sight of the
consulate.

Rise in income,
spending seen
during January
Associated Pre$s
WASHINGTON — Personal in
come and consumer spending both
climbed a notch last month. A gain
that analysts said followed an emerg
ing pattern of steady economic
growth and low inflation.
The January statistics released
Tuesday did little to excite private
economists either toward new opti
mism or pessimism, partly because
they were anticipated.
On the income side, it was primar
ily a federal pay raise that accounted
for a 0.5 percent gain. On the spend
ing side, it was January’s unusually
cold weather, which showed up in
higher spending for utility bills and
gave impetus to a 0.6 percent rise.
“If Wall Street is looking for mod
erate growth with low inflation,
these numbers support that expecta
tion,” said Sandra Shaber, senior
economist at Chase Econometrics in
Bala Cynwyd, Pa. “On the other
hand, if they are looking for the
kind of rapid economic growth that
some say is going to let us grow out
of the deficit, we’re not seeing that.”
While the 0.5 percent December-
to-January rise in personal income
bettered the 0.4 percent increase re
corded a month ago, it was mostly
due to a 3.5 percent pay increase for
federal civilian employees and a 4
percent raise for military personnel.
Moreover, the Commerce Depart
ment said both the December and
January figures also were affected
by a variety of bookkeeping factors,
such as shifts in the timing of Social
Security and military retirement
benefits.

“This is a new study method called the ‘Absorption System
where I line the walls with my notes so they can be absorb
into my memory. ”
Police —
(continued from page 1)
of any recent burglaries involving a
safe except the burglary of the
Bryan Mr. Gatti’s where $8,000 was
stolen from the safe.
“In that particular case the safe
wasn’t stolen though,” Ricketson
said. “Just the money inside it was
taken.”
The two officers were waiting
when we got to the safe. Ricketson
told them to carefully pick it up, put
it in the back of their patrol car and
take it to the station.
“You can never tell what might be
inside that safe,” Ricketson said.
“There could be a bomb in there,
you never know.”
Having received no other instruc
tions from the dispatcher, we went
back on patrol through the Christo-
6 her Village housing project near
eck Street.
“A good police officer doesn’t pa
trol the same areas night after
night,” Ricketson said. “Even when
patrolling on the same night, he
doesn’t follow a particular pattern.
After passing up one location he
might go around the block and come
right back to the same spot.”
Ricketson said it’s also a good idea
for officers to stop at local night
clubs and just be seen. So we headed
toward some of Bryan’s night spots.
People in Bryan go to dubs in no
set pattern Ricketson said. One night
they will all gather at one spot and
then the next night that place will be
dead and everyone will be some
where else.
After passing a couple of clubs,
The Harlem Club on Logan Avenue
appeared to be a good choice. The
parking lot was full, but Ricketson
said it wasn’t really crowded.
“Let’s go in now and I’ll show you
what one of these clubs is like,” Rick
etson said. “We usually send two of
ficers into a place like this, but you
can be my partner tonight and we’ll
go in. This is a public place, so no
one should say anything about you
and me going in there.”
As Ricketson reached for his night
stick, he gave me plain instructions
about what to do:
“On the way in, I want you to fol
low me. Once we get inside the door,
I want you to put your back up
against tne wall and don’t let anyone
get behind you. I’m going to go talk
to the owner for a minute and just
make myself seen. On the way out
just follow me the same way as when
we go in.”
The club was about like I imag
ined it. The air was smoky and seve
ral people were playing billiards.
One man asked me what I was doing
in there and I had begun to wonder
the same thing.
After the night club experience,
we went down Texas Avenue toward
College Station.
As Ricketson stopped his car be-
,ide the bridge near the Manor East
Mall and shined his light into the
drainage ditch, he explain
during night hours in Br^'
“whole different set of ere#

We got out of the car anil'
