11 victims Killer lurks in shadows of gay bars B Y MARY NEISWENDER AND BRAD ALTAIAN SUIT Writers Eleven unsolved, sadistic sex m urders in Southern California-all to p priority on the books of nine police investigative agencies-have been linked to a single killer or toiier-team operating ou t of Long Beach since lUlZ, And, despite five months in which there have been n o related murders-or, a t least, n o bodies found-police expect there are more to come. "Maybe he left th e area or is in jail for something else. O r maybe," Long Beach Detective J. J. Hurlbirt m charge of the investigation, says, "he's able to control himself because of the intensive search going on. "Of course, maybe h e hasn't stopped', a n d there a r e m urd ers we haven't connected or bodies thai haven't been found yet." I n any event, the sergeant says, police believe t h e killer will never change. "He'll kill again," H urlbirt says. The tie to Long B each com es in a terse statem ent in a special confidential brochure on the case put out by the California Department of Justice and distributed to a ll police departme nts inv olved: " In each case, there appears to be a connection between the victim and the City of Long Beach." - - slat'" ° Ullilling cach ease ' thc dctails back « P th e A ll the victims lived in or were frequent visitors to the city; they were picked up in the city or their bodies were brought back to be dumped.

Take Mae Russell, 77, who lives in a w alk-up apartment on Fifth Street above a hearing-aid center, tw o jewelry stores and a Polish delicatessen. Thai's not her real name. She's embarrassed to let people know things aren't like they once were, back when sh e used to go dancing at the old Majestic Ballroom. Because o f a recent stroke, h er life now is almost totally confined to h e r crackerbox apartment with it s kitchen that's scarcely larger than a closet and a closet that holds a foldaway b e d when the bed isn't swallowing up m ost of the front room. Th e $55-a-month rent s h e pays fo r h e r small, unit, up two flights of stairs in a 50-year-old building, is a ll h e r Social Security check will allow, a nd M rs. Russell isn't sure wh at she would do if she had to move. That's why it struck terror in h e r heart last week when she re- ceived a letter implying—vaguely— that she might have to do just that. It was from th e Long Beach Agency terse terms: "Dear Property Owner: This is to advise you that the property which you own...is located in the area of the city's proposed Downtow n Redevelop- ment Project." Also: "All real property within this Project Area...is subject to acquisi- tion by the agency b y purchase o r condemnation." M rs. Russell doesn't own the building, of course; she isn't sure w h o does. B ut, according to the redevelopment agency, th e letter was sen t to residents and busi- nesses, a s well a s property owners, to apprise all persons in the area o f th e first public hearing on the pro- posed plan.

(Turn to Back Pg., Col. 2) U.S. fighter By CARL HARTMAN BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) _ Belgium decided Saturday to buy the American YF16 jet fighter rath- er than th e French Mirage, paving the way for a multibillion-dollar "deal of the century" — the biggest series of sales in the history of aviation. Belgium joins Holland, Den- mark a nd Norway to take 306 planes, nearly $1.9 billion worth, at $6.1 million each. Beginning in 1979 they will replace th e F104 Starfight- er . Additional orders are expected later both from these four countries a nd from other West European allies. Th e U.S. A ir Force wants at least 650. With th e psychological boost from the European purchase, representatives of General Dynam- ics Corp. are expected to push even harder for sales around the globe from Japan to Chile. They hope to sell as many as 3,000, which would be more than $1 8 billion worth. In Paris, General Dynamics Board Chairman David F. Lewis, attending the international air show, said it was "a great day" no t only for the company and the United States but also for the West- er n alliance. B ut French Premier Jacques Chirac, in a speech to 4,000 guests at the air show, said, " W e were very disappointed by this decision and the government will no w take whatever action is neces- sary to support the mom entu m of ' the French aeronautics industry." In F t. Worth, Tex., where the YF16 is built, city leaders, politicians an d others called the Belgian deci- sion "great news ... tremendous ... a coup." A General Dynamics spokesman a t corporate headquar- ters in St. Louis, Mo., said th e company felt th e NATO consortium "couldn't have made a better choice." It was fierce competition in Belgium. Both President Ford an d Valery Giscard d'Estaing o f France sa w Belgian Premier L eo Tindemans last month and talked about the deal. Earlier there h ad been repeated charges of bribery a n d undue political pressure. Belgium h a s strong ties with France, sentimental as well as eco- nomic. Tindemans trjed to use thc prospect of a big order for the M irage to win Giscard's support fo r a united European aircraft industry to compete with b ig American firms like General Dynamics.

L/S12-15 2-hour-old baby dumped in street A two-hour-old baby boy, cover- ed with mud and stuffed nude in a paper grocery bag, w a s discovered abandoned alongside a residential street in Downey by three teen- agers, police reported Saturday. Officials said the seven-pound boy, discovered at about 10:30 p.m., was the second abandoned child found in the county in a 13- hour period Friday. Both babies were later reported in good condi- tion at area hospitals. , "We were just driving by the place where I used to live when w e saw a paper bag lying near this palm tree a t 10273 Ratliffe S t. " said Patrick Howard, 17. "The b ag looked kind of funny, so we decided to investigate." Howard said he and his com- panions, Mike Curtis, 16, and his brother Dave, 15, of Norwa lk, got out of the car to take a look in the bag. "Dave reached h is hand in there a nd said it felt kind of warm, so we thought maybe it was a cat or something," Howard said. "Then (he bag tipped over a nd this baby fell out and started crying. " It didn't have an y clothes on , a nd there wasn't even a blanket around it; it was just there in the bag. It looked like it was covered with mud and it may have ha d some axle grease on it, too." Howard, a junior at Downey High School who lives at 10836 Ben- field St., Downey, said he and the Curtis brothers rushed the baby to Kaiser Hospital in Bellflower, where doctors said it appeared to be about two hours old. Th e infant w as later transferred to County- US C Medical Center. Investigators said they had no clues as to the identity of the moth- e r. Police in Pasadena, m eanwhile, said they still had no information concerning the identity of the moth- er of a seven-pound baby girl aban- doned in that city at about 9:30 a.m. Friday. Investigators said the baby was discovered in a trash can by city refuse collector Archie Edwards. Edwards told police he was about to dump a full trash c a n into (Turn to Back Pg., Col. 5) 'Patient protection' eyed $2,000 reward offered in killing James Hamilton MacGcnn, 50-year-old employe a t King's t o th c arrest a nd murder con- viction of MacGcnn's killer.
