Businessman charged in 5 Hillside Stranglings By BILL GARDNER Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) Kenneth A. Bianchi, awaiting trial for two stranglings in the state of Washington, has been charged with five of the 13 Hillside Strangler murders that terrorized Los Angeles women in late 1977 and early 1978. District Attorney John Van de Kamp told a news conference Wednesday that he has not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty for Bianchi, who is now in a Bellingham, jail after pleading innocent by reason of insanity to strangling two university coeds there last January. The Strangler investigation zeroed in on Bianchi after he was arrested in Bellingham, where he moved in May 1978.
Until then, the case had led investigators down thousands of dead ends, with three men arrested in the case only to be released later. Investigators believe Bianchi had an accomplice in the murders, but they have not charged anyone else, although Van de Kamp said Bianchi's cousin, Angelo Buono, is a suspect. Buono's home in Glendale was searched last month by investigators, but they did not say what, if anything, was found. Mr. Buono remains a suspect and a very important one," Van de Kamp said.
Bianchi, 27, was charged with the stranglings of Yolanda Washington, Kristina Weckler, Jane Evelyn King, Kimberly Diane Martin and Cindy Hudspeth. He was also charged with one count of sodomy involving Miss Weckler and one count of conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping and rape. At an April 23 news conference, Police Chief Daryl Gates announced police would seek charges against Bianchi in 10 of the Strangler murders. Van de Kamp, however, said there was insufficient evidence in the other five cases. "I want to emphasize that our action today does not close the books on the Hillside Strangler killings," Van de Kamp said.
"More charges may be filed in the future." Each of the victims named Wednesday had previously been linked in some way with Bianchi. He worked at the same real estate title company as Miss Washington, lived in the same Glendale apartment building as Miss Weckler across street from Miss Hudspeth. He also briefly lived 1 in the Hollywood apartment building where Miss Martin was lured to her death. That building was less than a block from the Scientology Celebrity Center where Miss King was last seen alive. Van de Kamp said he hoped an agreement could be worked out with Washington authorities to bring Blanchi here soon for arraignment.
"We would like to get this prosecution going as soon as possible," he said. "We will do our level best to get him down here as soon as possible." He added that it might be nine months or longer before Bianchi goes to trial on the Los Angeles murders. Bomb threat a hoax RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A telephone bomb threat forced the evacuation of nonessential workers at a Surry nuclear power plant where authorities are investigating what some have termed sabotage of nuclear fuel elements. The plant was evacuated for a few hours Wednesday, but a search turned up nothing, plant officials said.
The bomb threat came two days after Virginia Electric Power Co. officials discovered that a white crystalline substance had been poured over 62 new fuel elements. Officials tentatively have Identified the chemical used to contaminate the fuel Transsexual teacher ordered reinstated PHILADELPHIA (AP) A transsexual junior high school teacher, reinstated by a federal court after being fired on grounds of immorality, says she is confident a school board hearing will prove she is "just a regular person." U.S. District Judge Donald Van Artsdalen on Wednesday ordered full back pay for Jenell Ashlie, saying she was not granted a due-process hearing before the Chester-Upland School Board fired her last year. But Van Artsdalen said Ms.
Ashlie could be suspended while the school board holds a hearing on her termination. "I'm just anxious to get back to the classroom," said Ms. Ashlie, who wore jewelry and makeup to work for a year prior to her August 1978 sex change as one way to prepare her students for her transformation. But the teacher's immediate return to work might have a "disruptive effect on students and faculty alike," Van Artsdalen wrote in his 10-page opinion. Hearings must be held before any teacher is fired, he said.
To deny Ms. Ashlie a hearing was unconstitutional, the judge ruled, even though she was not tenured and state law did not prevent the summary dismissal. There was no immediate indication whether the school district planned to schedule a termination hearing. Ms. Ashlie, 27, of Media, was fired from her job at Pulaski Middle' School in Chester three weeks after her sex change.
Formerly Keith Komarnicki, Ms. Ashlie legally changed her name after the operation. Van Artsdalen ruled the school board I violated her right to due process, although it offered to hold a hearing after the firing. Ms. Ashlie refused to participate in that hearing.
She expressed confidence that a new school board hearing would vindicate her. "I'm not immoral and I'm not incompetent, I'm just a regular person just like anybody else," she said. "I know it's all going to work out just TEACHER JENELL ASHLIE reinstated by judge Most Contac, Sine-off sprays ordered recalled WASHINGTON (AP) Nearly all bottles of Contac Nasal Mist and Sine-Off OnceA-Day Sinus Spray are being recalled from store shelves because of possible bacterial contamination, the government says.

The recall covers virtually all lots produced in 1978 and 1979. Jeremy Heymsfeld, a spokesman for SmithKline parent company of the maker of the products, said the products are being recalled "as a precaution." The bacteria involved pseudomona sepacia are unlikely to harm anyone, he said. The FDA agreed that the bacteria are "not a general health hazard," but said they might pose some risk to people with upper respiratory infections.

It also is kept on hand for use in the event of a radiation release in the reactor containment buildings. The substance is still being tested for positive identification. Vepco has labeled the incident sabotage, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is calling it "industrial sabotage."
