An average of 18,414,000 feet

18,590,000 foot average was
posted 21 years ago. Last

"That means some rigs
which are gainfully employed
are not tallied," McGhee said.
"Examples are those moving
from one location to the next,
engaged in well completions,
cementing and similar oper-
ations."
Counted or not, McGhee said,
very nearly all rigs are work-

Contractors in California re-
port some units shut down be-
cause of the glut of heavy oil
there,” he said.
"A few mid-range rigs are

McGhee, executive vice presi-

The remainder, he added,

Secretary James Schlesinger.
"A year ago Schlesinger was
telling the Congress and the
U.S. public that it couldn't be
done," McGhee said,
"Until very recently, in fact,
he was using a purported short-
age of rigs as a pretext to hold
the lid on oil and gas prices.”
When the weekly rotary rig

He was assigned a full-time

delinquents and runaways mov-

neighborhoods.
"They don’t want trouble-

Ted Woodson’s home where

advocates meet once a week.
The program, which serves
York and three other areas in
the state, teams about 100
youths with 85 substitute par-
ents or "big brothers."
It has been hailed by judges
and other government officials

Woodson concedes there have

neighborhood haven’t stopped
to look at the issues. “It’s just
fear, prejudice and racism," he
says.
“The racial thing is not let-
ting them see the program as it
really is," says Woodson’s wife,
Anne. "These kids need a basic

their own with jobs and a new
outlook on life.

The city has responded with
an ordinance allowing no more
than one non-related person per
household. It also has charged
Woodson with operating a busi-

violation of another dty ordi-
nance.
The program’s emphasis on
family relationships has at-
tracted the attention of the Dis-
trict of Columbia Superior
Court.
"The enormously attractive
feature is that it provides an al-
ternative other than an in-
stitution," says D.C. Judge Gla-
dys Kessler, who has sent two
or three juveniles to the pro-
gram. “It provides a family
setting and to me that is cer-
tainly the most preferable al-
ternative.”
Residential advocates, some-
what like counselors or substi
tute parents, are paid $9 a day
by the program. The kids get
|20 a week allowance. The re-
ferring county welfare and pro-
bation agencies pay for their
clothing.
In addition, each youth has a
street advocate — someone to
pal around witlj, help with job
applications or give advice.
Street advocates are paid from much.
812.50 to 850 a week, depending
on the hours spent with the
kids.
Advocates report weekly to
one of 12 coordinators who in
return report to the central of-
fice. Each youth’s progress is
closely monitored and monthly
reports are issued to the refer-
ring agency, which contracts
with the program for its serv-
ices.
Recruiting is up to the coor-
dinators. They work with
churches, civic groups and col-
leges to find prospective advo-
cates.
"We’re not professionals,”
says Woodson. "We’re just or-
dinary people. We just like
kids."
"This agency is desperately
needed," says Katherine Bee-
cher, 24, a York College student
and one of the street advocates.
“It’s the greatest thing that
ever came along. The kids are
so appreciative of whatever you
do .... They love to help me
wash my car. It’s the little
things like this that mean so

A 20,000-man police hunt
was launched, and in the next
few months more than 4,000
possible suspects were
investigated. Finally, on Aug.
21 that year, Sadamichi
Hirasawa, 57, a well-known
painter, was arrested at his
Hokkaido home and charged
i the mass murderer.
Hirbsawa, it turned out,
had received a name card
from a Dr. Matsui which
turned up in another Tokyo
bank in October 1947 where
the same criminal had
unsuccessfully tried to make
bank attendants drink a drug
for dysentery.
During police questioning
Hirasawa three times tried to
kill himself. Once he cut his
wrist and with his own blood
wrote on the prison wall that
he was innocent.
But after 37 days of
grueling interrogation
Hirasawa finally broke down
and confessed.
He again asserted his
innocence in court, but was
convicted based on his
confession and
circumstantial evidence
putting him near the scene of
the crime. In April 1955 the
Supreme Court upheld the
conviction and sentenced him
to die.
It is now 30 years since the
Teigin Incident, and most
Japanese, many who were.
:rot even born at the time are
only vaguely familiar with
the crime. Few realize that
Sadamichi Hirasawa, now 87,
is still being held in a hospital
ward at Miyagi Penitentiary
in northern Japan, or that he
is still fighting to prove his
innocence. *
He is supported by a 2,000-
member “Save Hirasawa
The Save Hirasawa
Committee last January re-
enacted the crime to prove
that Hirasawa, who left his
son-in-law’s company in
central Tokyo at 2:25 p.m.
could not possibly have
reached the bank at the same
time as the actual criminal.
Even more intriguing is the
suggested involvement of a
bacteriological warfare team
which allegedly was under
the protection of GHQ. At
about the same time that
Hirasawa was arrested, i.
Police Inspector HideO
Naurchi had narrowed his
sights on a certain Lt. Suwa,
a member of the infamous
Manchu 731 company, better ’
known as the Ishii company,
which was conducting top- ;
secret research on toxic ’
materials for assassination. .
During the Japanese [
occupation of China, ,
experiments on live subjects
using methods similar to the
Teigin Incident were carried
out there. The medical
equipment used by the ,
criminal were items (
available only through
military drug specialists.
