They can stirtchildren's imagi
nations, arouse parental concerns
or create a demand for child pro
tection programs, one thing
is certain, according to a Lincoln
Police Department detective, the
recent child abductions in Midw
est towns have affected Lincoln.
Detective Linda Steinman said
abduction reports raise parental
awareness, "at least for a while
anyway" Parents want to know
where their children are going,
who they're with and when they'll
be home, she said. Reports of the
recent abduction of Eugene Mar
tin, a Des Moines, Iowa, news
paper carrier, also spur parents
to be involved in and to demand
more child-protection programs.
To answer those demands, the
Lincoln police offer hundreds of
programs for elementary schoob.
The programs begin with the kindcr-

garten "stranger danger" puppet
show. Through Officer OIHe and a
song, Steinman said, the children
learn how to identify a stranger,
what to do if a stranger ap
proaches and where to go for
help. The show is easy to under
stand and holds the children's
interest, she said.
The programs and messages
change as children grow older,
Steinman said. For instance, se
cond grade students learn what
to do in case of a fire and how to
protect themselves. By the sev
enth grade, children have learned
the dangers of hitchhiking and
how they can be victimized, she
said.
Children do use the programs'
hints. Soon after Martin's abduc
tion, Steinman said, a Lincoln
newspaper carrier reported being
followed on his newspaper route.
Trouble was avoided because the
carrier knew what to do and
where to go, she said.
Gene Retzlaff, circulation direc
tor at the Lincoln Journal-Star,
said carriers' reports of being fol
lowed often result from their ima
ginations, "especially with all the
abduction reports." The paper
has not received a report from
any of carriers concerning the
incident, he said.
If carriers do find themselves
in trouble, Retzlaff said, the paper
has trained the carriers to pro
tect themselves.
"I dont think we can really pro
tect our carriers, but we can train
them in ways to protect them
selves," he said.
All Journal-Star carriers more
than 1,500 throughout the state
receive periodic newsletters,
he said. The Lincoln carriers attend
child protection classes given bv
the LPD, Retzlaff said.
Both the class and newsletters
advise carriers to carry small
amounts of money when they are
collecting money, to avoid rolling
their newspapers on street corners
and to find a home on their route
that they can run to if they are in
danger.

Jackson, MbqIi leaders
to meet witli Elondlsle
WASHINGTON The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sunday said differ
ences with Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale
may soon be resolved, enabling him to fully support the ticket.
Jackson said Mondale will meet with him Tuesday and then
with other black leaders to shore up support from this minor
ity group, which is seen as crucial for the Democre-ts to win the
November election. Jackson had expressed concern over the
lack of blacks, Hispanics and women named to policy and
administrative pos hi the Mondala campaign and by the need
to develop a public jobs program.
Jackson also expressed hops that various coalitions within
the Democratic Party, including blacks, Hisp&nics, Jews, women,
progressive whites and youth, will be together by the Sept. 3
Labor Day Holiday. The Tuesday meeting should ease his con
cern about the appointment of minorities to the campaign, he
said and added that work has been done to develop a demo
cratic jobs program. Political strategists believe Jackson may
play a crucial role in deciding the outcome of the election
especially if he can register enough blacks to allow the Demo
crats to regain the South.
Capote aiitopoy, etacly to continue
LOS ANGELES An autopsy Sunday failed to pinpoint the
cause of death of Truman Capote, jet set author of "In Cold
Blood," who died hours after working on the last chapter of
what he said would be his final book In a preliminary report,
Los Angeles Medical Examiner Ronald Kornblum said a three
hour probe found evidence of epilepsy in Capote's brain and
signs of infection in his legs. But Bill Gold, a spokesman for the
medical examiner's of3ce, said another week to 10 days of tests
and a study of Capote's medical background would be needed
to determine the exact cause of death. Capote died Saturday in
the mansion of hb longtime friend, Joanne Carson, the former
wife of television talk show host Johnny Carson. Detectives
said bottles of medication were found in his bedroom and there
were no signs of foul play. The author, who had described in
interviews his bouts of drinking, collapsed from & convulsive
seizure in 1030 and spent time in the hospital last year for what
doctors said was a bad reaction to drugs he took to control his
seizures.
Nuclear cargo presents no danger
PARIS A French cargo ship that sank off the Belgian coast
Saturday night was carrying 450 tons of nuclear material, but
no immediate danger of pollution exists, the vessel's owners
said Sunday. The 4,210-ton freighter Mont Louis went down
after a collision with a ferry carrying nearly 1,000 holidaymak
ers. Its crew were taken aboard the ferry and there were no
casualties aboard either vessel. Compagnie Generals Maritime
issued a statement from its Paris headquarters Sunday saying
the Mont Louis had been carrying 30 containers of uranium
hexafluoride to the Soviet Union port of Riga. The ship's offic
ers had confirmed that the containers had not been damaged
m the collision, CGM said. The statement cited the Atomic
Energy Commission as saying there was no danger of the con
tainers leaking for at least a year. In the event of any leakage,
ml nt acid would be immediately diluted in the sea, it
said. The company said it already had begun studying ways of
recovering the cargo from the shipwhich lies in 50 feet of
water.
