Delmar Dunlap, Zanesville post commander. All marked patrol cars now display a "Buckle Up Ohio" bumper sticker to encourage all motorists to wear their safety belts. Dunlap noted that in 240 fatal accidents this year, 93 percent of the victims were not wearing their safety belts. Drinking and driving continues to be major factor in Ohio traffic deaths, Dunlap said, with 41 percent of all Hostages Give Sordid Account By The Associated Press Several former hostages gave a sordid account Tuesday of their captivity in Lebanon that included beatings, vermin-infested living quarters and political propaganda an account markedly different from the rosier picture conveyed during their ordeal.

In contrast to the sympathy a few hostages expressed for their captors' cause while in Beirut, some of the Americans savoring freedom for the first time in 17 days now had harsh words for their kidnappers. Peter Hill, 57, said in an interview in Wiesbaden, West Germany, that the Shiite militiamen had tried to indoctrinate the hostages. "There was an intense indoctrination, but I didn't buy any of it," said Hill, who characterized the Amal militiamen as "thieves, thugs and murderers." "They would arrive in the middle of the night, roust you out of bed and subject you to all this crap whatever you want to call it," he said. Arriving at Andrews Air Force Base Tuesday afternoon, Hill was asked what should be done about the hijackers. "Hunt them down, arrest them, try them and kill them, just that Hill said.

"Do it the legal way. What else do you do with murderers?" He said there was little difference between the hijackers and the Amal militia, calling them all "animals." Hill and others also took issue with hostage Allyn Conwell and others who expressed strong sympathy for the Amal cause during their captivity. "In most part I agreed with Allyn," said Jimmy Dell Palmer who was freed last week ahead of the others because of a heart ailment. "But towards the last I was beginning to get the feeling that he was slipping a little bit too much toward their side." "I'm being held captive by the people that are trying to indoctrinate me and tell me their cause and how right they are, and I cannot ignore the fact that I'm being held captive," Palmer said, speaking from his home in Little Rock, Ark. "You have to understand that most of those people, those hostages, couldn't find Lebanon on a map three weeks ago," said Hill, who had been to the Middle East more than 100 times and was leading a group of 34 tourists at the time of his capture.

"So the only thing they knew about this was the indoctrination to which they were subjected. So I don't blame them." "Some people were sucked in," said Hill. "I do not go along with all this crap about their religious ferver," he said, adding that the captors' crimes violated "every rule" in the Koran. Conwell said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show that "we were a pretty large group, highly individualized people. Let's face it, we Americans, we still are Americans, and as such we have very varied opinions on just about anything that gets thrown up to the Richard Herzberg, 33, of Norfolk, one of four men separated from the others because of his Jewishsounding surname, called the hijacking "a publicity stunt." He said his captors had "duped the American public into thinking this was fun and these are nice people." "It was hell," said Herzberg, who was on his honeymoon at the time of his capture.

"It is still hell right now. Local Boy Run Over By Pickup A Pine Street boy sustained minor injuries after he was struck and run over by a pickup truck at the intersection of Canal and Sixth Streets at about 2:50 p.m. Monday. James R. Woods, 4, of Pine St.

was treated and released from Good Samaritan Medical Center. According to the Zanesville Police Department, Terry Soller, 23, of 2500 Dietz Lane was driving on Canal Street and was attempting to make a left hand turn onto Sixth Street when he struck Woods with the right front of his pickup as Woods was crossing Canal Street in the crossing lanes with his mother and two other children. Woods went to the ground after he was struck and was run over by the right rear wheel of Soller's pickup. Soller was cited with failure to yield to a pedestrian at a crosswalk. Condition Improved The condition of a New Lexington boy whose leg was amputated Monday after being hit by a car was upgraded Tuesday to fair, according to a spokeswoman at Children's Hospital in Columbus.

Roger Bowling, 9, was taken to the hospital Monday after being hit by a vehicle driven by Lloyd Thompson, 64, of New. Lexington. Bowling also suffered a head injury. Bowling was struck while taking groceries from the family car parked in front of his home, according to the New Lexington Police Department. Thompson was cited with driving while intoxicated and failure to control.

Theft Reported Muskingum County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the reported theft of satellite equipment from a Philo residence. James P. Tracey of Philo reported to deputies that the receiver of a satellite dish valued at $411 was taken between 9 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday.

Twist Of Fate Treats Hopewell Girl Kindly If anybody thinks it was a party, they're sick." At first, he said, "I was held in a cell for eight days without a shower, without seeing light, without having a toilet." On the ninth day, Herzberg and the other three captives were moved to what they dubbed the "Beirut because it had bathrooms and other basic comforts. Thomas Cullins, 42, of Burlington, said on the "CBS Morning News" Tuesday that he now was embarrassed about telling reporters while in captivitv that he and his fellow 5 appreciated the Amal's hospitality. "In retrospect I always felt I made a mistake in that first press conference by using the word Cullins said. Arthur Toga, 33, of St. Louis, told reporters in Wiesbaden that the hostages were kept in small groups in rundown apartments crawling with cockroaches and rats.

The worst accounts involved the first days of the hijacking while the hostages were still aboard TWA flight 847. Clinton Suggs, a Navy diver stationed in Norfolk, said he was "next in line to be shot" and was only five feet from fellow Navy diver Robert Stethem who was first beaten then shot to death. Suggs said in an interview on the "Today" show that flight attendent Uli Derickson saved his life. "While they were beating Robert when we had landed in Beirut the second time, I could hear him screaming and yelling and he was just in sheer agony. And then I heard the gun go "And then I could hear them say, more.

Five And the hijacker came back where I was and he was kicking me and hitting me and calling me 'American And then the stewardess rushed over and she talked to him and said, 'No, please, By JOHN DEVLIN Staff Reporter Fate twisted and turned and then placed a crown upon the head of 18-year-old Dalene Graham. The Hopewell resident, who was second runner-up on April 20, will don the crown of Miss Southeastern Ohio beginning Thursday. Graham is assuming the duties of Suellen Cochran, who was crowned Miss Ohio on June 15. The first runner-up, Lynette VanReeth of Norwich, has married since the Miss SEO pageant. At first, the 1985 West Muskingum High School graduate said she thought "maybe I wasn't really" Miss SEO.

Worries about "coming in through the back door" continued to cross her mind. However, she said she realized "I won second runner and that's how it fell." Now Graham said she has every intention of handling the duties to the best of her ability. Her duties will begin shortly after being crowned at 2 p.m. Thursday at Muskingum County Fairgrounds as part of Zavi Shrine's Safe-A-Rama. In receiving the crown, Graham becomes ineligible to seek the Miss SEO title again.

Though she did not compete at the state pageant in 1985, she could not do so through the Miss SEO program. However, Graham could compete in another area's open pageant if she wanted to attempt to gain the state crown. Regardless, Graham, a daughter of Kathy Graham of Hopewell, said she has no plans to compete in another beauty, contest. "I had already decided I wasn't going to try again" after finishing DALENE GRAHAM as second runner-up, Graham said. "I had such a good experience and such a good time, I decided to quit while I was ahead and to just move on," Graham continued.

The Jaycees, which sponsors the Miss SEO pageant, "have really been good" about informing Graham of her duties and appearance dates, she said. At times, situations become "somewhat confusing." she continued, but "this is the first time" in the 24-year history of the pageant the crown has been given up. Despite catching Graham slightly off guard, she will be able to continue with her plans to attend David Lipscomb, a Christian college in Nashville, Tenn. At the college, she will major in speech and communications eventually leading to a job in broadcasting.
