Saturday, May 4, 1974.....TO MY SCIENTISTS

Weeks ago...my psychic brain picked up the knowledge that the SLA Patricia Hearst Kidnapper group...was crossing the United States, leaving their numerous San Francisco hideouts because of the FBI "heat"...and were in fact leaving the area until things cooled down. Before receiving this psychic impression...I had gone to a lot of trouble and expense to offer my services as a psychic, both to the authorities, and to the Hearsts. But I received no answer from either...so I sat on this latest information until it could come out over some radio show or other. (I'll tell you this now...I am tired of offering my tremendous psychic ability...to persons, and authorities...who simply ignore it. From now on...they'll have to come to me.)

On Friday, April 19, 1974, I was going into the Virginia National Bank here in Cape Charles...and to my astonishment two negros emerged through the front door...leaving the bank as I went in...and one of the negros was the absolute, accurate image and description of the "Zebra Killer" composite drawing (from San Francisco witnesses) that had appeared in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that very day. I hurried home and telephoned the Cape Charles police. Charlie Powell answered the call...I gave him this information and he said "okay". Today (date above) an article appeared in the Virginian-Pilot to the effect that the FBI yesterday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst.

So I called the Norfolk FBI today...and told them of my notifying the police here at Cape Charles of having seen the "Zebra Killer" here in Cape Charles, on April 19.

So here, speaking as a master psychic...is my information to you:

(1) The Symbionese Liberation Army and the Zebra Killers are one and the same group. Killing innocent whites...is the SLA method of getting new "muscle" recruits...and in carrying out the torture and killing of a white...the SLA knows for sure that they are not getting an FBI undercover agent into their group. (Of course, the killings are closely watched and monitored by the SLA overseers.)

(2) The SLA/Zebra group has crossed the United States (or most of them) in camper trucks, and are indeed now on the East Coast...hiding out in their campers and with negro friends who will hide them, and supply them with East Coast guns which have been stolen on the East Coast. Some SLA girls will be dressed as male hippies...with shaved heads and wearing a man's wig and clothes. Patricia Hearst herself may well be disguised in this manner.

(3) (This prediction has nothing at all to do with the above...but will give it to you just the same)...President Nixon will collapse and go into hospital sometime this year for an operation...stomach area.

Saturday, May 4, 1974

Ted Owens, the psychic who lives here in Cape Charles, Virginia...telephoned the police here in Cape Charles on Friday, April 19, 1974...

He stated that as he had entered the Virginia National Bank, in Cape Charles, that morning...a negro had been leaving the bank...and Owens stated that he was positive that the negro was the very same one whose face was shown in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that morning as the San Francisco "Zebra Killer." (A composite drawing made up from the description of witnesses in San Francisco.) Owens stated that this negro's face was absolutely identical...to that of the "Zebra Killer" of San Francisco, and Owens stated also that he wondered why this killer would be so far away from San Francisco.
He said that the negro was accompanied by another, larger negro.
He also stated that he had never seen either of the two negros in Cape Charles before.

This is a true and accurate statement.

Massive Hunt for 'Zebra Killer'

Police composite drawings of the killer (UPI)

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-Police Thursday stopped, questioned, and searched hundreds of young blacks in a hunt for "Zebra" suspects in San Francisco's 18 random street shootings since November, 12 of them fatal.

One hundred and fifty officers, organized in special teams, were deployed in six zones of the city where the slayings occurred.

The officers carried composite drawings of the killer, or one of the killers, presenting him as a black between 5 feet 9 and 6 feet of slender medium build with a moustache and frequently wearing a watch cap.

Robert Brooks, 23, attired in a long black coat and a knit hat while waiting for a bus, said he was spotted by plainclothes men and interrogated in their car for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, traffic and other checks were conducted on him by radio.

"Wow," said Brooks, a private security guard, "one of the first things I'm going to do is get rid of this knit cap."

SLA Alert in South

COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI) – The FBI Friday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst.

Harold C. Swanson, special agent in charge of the South Carolina FBI office, said Marlboro County authorities had received an anonymous telephone tip that a black male, believed to be a member of the SLA, had attempted to purchase a gun in the small town of McColl. The town is located just south of the border with North Carolina.

Swanson emphasized that there was "nothing concrete at this time" but he said authorities were running a thorough investigation, which included an alert for a blue automobile in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida.

Swanson said the car was carrying three black males and two females, one of whom was white.

N.C. Alert
Issued for
'Hearst Car'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—A statewide alert was issued in North Carolina Saturday for a red late-model car with California license plates which police said may have carried a passenger who resembled Patricia Hearst.

Capt. R. E. Phillips, who issued the alert, said a woman told police that she saw the car, a Buick, going north from Charlotte Saturday. The woman said the car contained three black males and one white female who fit "the general description of Miss Hearst," Phillips said.

Phillips said he had no other indication that the 20-year-old daughter of newspaper executive Randolph A. Hearst or members of the Symbionese Liberation Army were in the state. The SLA has claimed responsibility for kidnapping Miss Hearst from her apartment in Berkeley, Calif., on Feb. 4.

"The reason I authorized this to be put out is that I don't want a police officer to approach this car if this is the SLA or members of it or anything like it," he said. "I don't want them walking up on this car without knowing what they were approaching and getting blown in two."

No More
On Car
Sighting

MONROE, N.C. (UPI) — North Carolina authorities Sunday said there had been no further reports on a car seen Saturday carrying three black men and a woman resembling kidnapped heiress Patricia Hearst.

An alert remained in effect for the red Buick with California license plates, but Charlotte Police Capt. R. E. Phillips said, "I haven't heard of anyone stooping the."

The car, according to a witness, was seen at an intersection here early Saturday carrying three black men and a white woman who fit "the general description of Patricia Hearst," said Phillips.

The FBI in Charlotte declined to comment on the reports.

"I had a decision to make," Phillips said. "There aren't that many red Buicks with California plates in this state. If some officer had approached such a car not knowing about this report and gotten killed, I could never have slept again."

He said the witness said he spotted the car about 6:45 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 74 and U.S. 601. Monroe is about 30 miles southeast of Charlotte.

Saturday's report was the second in as many days. South Carolina officials Friday said they received an anonymous tip that a man, who resembled a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army that claimed credit for the Hearst kidnapping, attempted to buy a gun in McColl, a small city near the South Carolina-North Carolina border about 80 miles from Charlotte.

The original alert, issued by the FBI in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, was for a blue car carrying three black men and two women, one white and one black.

"There's no telling where these people are at," Phillips said. "We're not taking it lightly. We're checking it out."

TO MY SCIENTISTS

(Today I read, with great amusement, The Daily Star, or National Star...some new weekly publication...that listed the "top psychics" -- . Extremely humorous. Now to business.)

I trust...that the enclosed signed, notarized affidavit will impress you sufficiently.

This "Texas Miracle" was not performed just for my 45 contacts...you scientists included...but for all of the thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands (?) of Texas listeners to Radio Station WFAA in Dallas, Texas...and especially for Mr. Ed Busch, a topflight (in my opinion) host for that radio show. on live radio,

I was challenged by Mr. Busch, an open-minded skeptic, but skeptical nonetheless...to produce "freak" weather over Texas...in connection with the UFO intelligences, and to prove my own powers. I accepted his challenge, both in writing, and on a telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia, to Dallas, Texas.

Following came earthquake, tornados, record cold, then hot winds that knocked out half the Texas wheat crop.

Mr. Busch is in no way responsible for the damage to Texas wheat...I am, solely. I regret it very much...because I sympathize with the plight of the hard-working farmers, fully. It is just...that the UFO's that I work with...saw fit to do it.

All right. It is rather obvious...to anyone other than an absolute idiot...that I did in fact, through my UFO contacts...control the weather over the State of Texas. Now...for an even larger demonstration.

See the enclosed newsclip, "Nations to Study Weather". Sixty-six (66) nations, in fact. This giant undertaking by 66 nations will encompass 20 million square miles...will begin June 15...and last 101 days. This...is the type of major demonstration which I enjoy...because it can demonstrate the enormous powers...invested in me by my UFO's (SI's).

Thus, I put it on record (as I did verbally on Mr. Busch's WFAA, Dallas, radio show last night) that the UFO's and I intend to harass and heckle this "unprecedented project"...GARP, Global Atmospheric Research Program...by using my powers ("My"...=UFO) to cause freak accidents in the exercise, power failures, weird mishaps of all kinds, freak weather for the exercise, magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances, storms, lightning attacks, and the total result...of a "Keystone Kops" operation straight out of a Mack Sennett comedy.

Probably no word...of the mishaps and freakish happenings...will be ALLOWED to leak out. But on that large scale of operation...SOMETHING should leak out...and I will then have The Garp Miracle.

# Nations to Study Weather

By AL ROSSITER JR.

May 10, 1974

## Summer Look at Tropics

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Scientists, ships, planes, buoys, and satellites from 66 nations will study the weather and seas of a third of earth's tropics this summer in the largest such international scientific expedition ever mounted.

Some of the world's most advanced environmental measuring instruments will gather information on a 20-million-square-mile band of land and sea from the eastern Pacific across the Atlantic to the western Indian Ocean.

The goal of the unprecedented project is to close a major gap in meteorology and build an understanding of the role the tropics play in shaping earth's global weather patterns. This knowledge is expected to help scientists devise ways to eventually predict weather a week or more in advance with reasonable accuracy.

The atmosphere's circulation is driven by heat from the sun. Half the sunshine that falls on earth goes to the tropics and that is the only area to receive more energy from the sun than it loses in radiation back into space.

Much of this surplus heat is stored in the tropical oceans and then is transferred to the air. It is carried upward in massive tropical cloud systems and transported around the world by high-level winds.

"This area is the boiler of the giant heat engine that runs our atmosphere," said Dr. Verner Suomi, chairman of the U.S. committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). "We want to better understand the parts of the global weather machine and how it runs."

The project is called GATE for GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. It is sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations, and by the International Council of Scientific Unions.

The 101-day study will draw on 4,000 scientists and other personnel, 38 ships, 65 buoys, 13 aircraft, and six kinds of American and Soviet satellites to observe conditions from the top of the atmosphere to 5,000 feet deep in the oceans.

The experiment has been in the planning stage for five years and is scheduled to begin June 15. American logistics aircraft already are flying to the project headquarters in Dakar, Senegal, and some of 12 Russian ships to participate have left port in Vladivostok.

For its part, the United States will supply nine ships operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Guard, the space agency, University of Miami, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Rhode Island, and Texas A&M University. Eight U.S. aircraft will take part along with several civilian and military weather satellites, including a new generation weather watcher scheduled for launch May 16 from Cape Canaveral.

Dr. Robert M. White, NOAA administrator, said at a news conference held by 18 officials that the project will cost $53 million. Russia and the United States are each contributing about $18 million.

network of land stations in Latin America, South America, and Africa.

About half of the participating ships will be stretched across the Atlantic at 300- to 600-mile intervals, and the other half will be concentrated within a 200,-000-square-mile area 600 miles west of Africa to study tropical cumulus clouds and cloud clusters in detail.

Editor - Dallas Times Herald
Mr. Bill Case - Dallas Times Herald

Recently I have appeared on your Dallas WFAA Ed Busch Radio Show several times...by telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia.
I work under the observation of four top scientists. Enclosed is a signed affidavit from one of the top scientists, which is self-explanatory. These scientists...do not expose their names and reputations to kooks or crackpots, you know. They all wrote to me, and requested to be allowed to observe my work carefully.
A bit of background is necessary now. In February I was challenged, by Ed Busch, over his radio show from Dallas (live on the air) to produce "freak" weather in Texas. I accepted his challenge...and some days thereafter Texas was struck with an earthquake; following this, on a later Ed Busch show over Dallas...there to produce "freak" weather over Texas. That very night...a huge storm center began OVER TEXAS...produced tornados and hurricane winds...and extended a thousand miles to Virginia, where I was talking from. (This is all documented thoroughly...Mr. Busch has the documentation on it.)
Next Texas was struck by the coldest weather in its history. After that came hot winds that blasted half the Texas wheat crop. After that...came your article...re the UFO being sighted, and photographed...in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport area. My...UFO...as I stated on the Ed Busch Show.
By the way...I will appear on the Ed Dubovitz (?) radio show next Monday afternoon from 1-3...believe it is WRR.
