Horror movie made through classified section By DENNIS GEORGATOS Associated Press Writer SAN DIEGO A psychiatrist cast in the unfamiliar role of horror movie producer wanted some advice on what scares young people, so he went straight to the source with newspaper ads asking for help. The result is the movie "One Dark Night," a film . about a "school wimp" who takes a dare to spend the night in a mausoleuffi and ends up being kept company by living corpses with glittering eyes and coffins popping out of walls. About 100 young people between the ages of 12 and 25 responded to the ads in San Diego newspapers last September and helped in the film's production by offering their comments, criticisms and suggestions throughout the moviemaking process. "Basically, this is their film," said psychia trist Thomas P. Johnson, executive producer Police raids: By STEVEN R. HURST Associated Press Writer MOSCOW Police and Commu nist Pariy officials have started raiding bars, barber shops, restau rants and stores, searching for people who slip away from their jobs during working hours, Soviet sources said. The raids apparently are part of new party chief Yuri V. Andropov's campaign to strengthen the ailing Soviet economy by improving worker productivity. State newspapers acknowledge the high absenteeism. But they say one reason for it is that workers are forced to go shopping during office hours if they want to obtain nec essary but scarce consumer goods and services. One Soviet source reported see- Arafat to quickly "negotiate and come to conclusions" on the plan Reagan proposed last Sept. 1. It calls for Palestinian self-rule in association with Jordan for the Is raeli occupied territories of the West Bank of the Jordan River and Gaza Strip. "The Israelis are building at a very quick tempo so many set tlements in the West Bank and Gaza," Mubarak said in an office at the Uruba palace. "If we are going to lose another year with just delivering statements without any activity so as to put the Reagan initiative into action, it will be a big loss and the problem will be more difficult to solve." The Israelis oppose the Reagan plan, saying it would lead to a hostile Palestinian state and threat en Israeli security. They also reject a portion of the plan calling for an immediate freeze on Jewish set tlements in the territories Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East War. Most Arab states reject the plan because it calls for a Palestinian association with Jordan rather than an independent state.

Johnson said he solicited their thoughts because "I wanted their feedback, with the potential advantage being that we would be in closer touch with the grassroots ticket buyer. "Some people feel that people in Hollywood start making movies for each other and lose touch with the public and what the non-Holly wood people would like to see on the screen," he said. Having the young people help select the script, make plot changes and vote on ver sions they liked best had never been tried before on such a large scale, Johnson said, and the experience to the participants was likely a positive one. "They are at a very critical stage of devel opment," Johnson said. "Many of them feel that this is an adults' world and adults don't listen and this was a chance for them to find Soviets bring workers back to work from bars, stores, barber shops ing a squad of uniformed police enter a bar near his apartment recently and demand the docu ments of all the patrons. If a drinker's papers showed he should be at work, he was ordered out of the bar and told to go back to his job. His name was taken down and a letter was sent to his superior at work explaining the person was found drinking on state time. Other Soviet sources report simi lar raids by district Communist Party workers on barber shops, restaurants, stores and service es tablishments in Moscow, Lenin grad, Kiev and far-flung cities in the provinces. Soviet television's main evening news program sent a camera crew and a reporter to the gates of a Moscow factory last week to inter view workers leaving during their only Arab nation with relations with Israel, supports the plan as an out line subject to negotiation. Mubarak said "it will be very difficult for Reagan to implement his initiative" once the ,campaign for the 1984 U.S. presidential elec tion begins. "So I am urging those who are looking for a comprehensive set tlement, those who want peace in this area, the factions concerned, to make the best use of this specific period of time so as to negotiate and to come to conclusions maximum within six months or one year," he said. Hussein and Arafat met yester day in the Jordanian capital, Am man, to discuss a formula for joint Jordanian-PLO representation in possible peace talks with the Israe lis. Details of their discussions were not disclosed. Hussein met with Reagan in Washington last month but returned home without committing himself to Reagan's plan. Arafat's PLO has steadfastly rejected the plan, say ing it fails to provide for Palestinian statehood. "I am asking King.

In his first major speech after succeeding the late President Leo nid I. Brezhnev as party leader, Andropov vowed to reduce waste and corruption in the sprawling country. "Apparently the strength of iner tia and adherence to old ways are still at work. Moreover, some peo ple, perhaps, just do not know how to set about doing the job," Andro pov said Nov. 22. ' His crackdown on absenteeism has been joined by a simultaneous press campaign urging shops to give better service and to rear range their hours to make it easier for workers to run errands after work hours. finish the negotiations . . . so as to start the, negotiations for a compre hensive settlement of the (Middle East) problem," Mubarak said. • During the interview, 'Mubarak reaffirmed his commitment to peace with Israel despite its June 6 invasion of Lebanon to rout the PLO, the Israeli annexation of Arab east Jerusalem and Israeli refusal to grant autonomy to the 1.3 million Palestinians living on the West Bank and Gaza. "Peace, a comprehensive peace in this area, is very important," Mubarak said. "Not only to the Arabs alone but also to the Israelis than being in this situation, no war, no peace." Asked whether he believed Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin shared his commitment to peace, Mubarak replied: "I'm waiting to see what are the acts. The negotia tions (about the Reagan plan) will prove whether Begin wants peace or doesn't want peace."

The movie was shot in Hollywood, and was produced by Michael Schroeder and directed by Tom McLoughlin. McLoughlin co-wrote the script with Michael Hawes. It opened last week at 300 theaters in Los Angeles, San Diego and other Western cities. "I liked it, but I expected it to be more scary," said Julie Phillip, 22, a student at Mesa College who contributed suggestions to the movie. - "I would recommend it to my friends. It has good suspense," she said after seeing the finished product Friday. "It's pretty creative. And it was nice to be part of the moviemaking process, even if it was a small part."

It quoted textile worker L.

He said the movie is "100 percent better" because of the input from young people. The moviemakers didn't use all the sugges tions. While the young people came up with some pretty macabre situations, Johnson said he was surprised that the consensus was for a non-violent ending which the studio vetoed. "It just goes to show you that young people don't need to see a chainsaw hacking someone up or violent scenes with a lot of blood in a movie thriller," he said. The young people who participated in the novel arrangement were not compensated for their time, nor did they receive any screen credits.

With most all consumer goods in chronic short supply, they have developed a pri vate system for alerting friends when desirable items go on sale. When the news reaches a work place, one person is designated the shopper and rushes out with orders from his colleagues. Bosses look the other way, understanding that there is no other way to obtain needed goods. Moskovskaya Pravda, the organ of the capital's Communist Party organization, said yesterday it had sent a team of investigative report ers to the seven-story "house of services" on Moscow's northwest side long billed as a consumer's paradise. The paper said the team found that most stores could not provide services advertised. The Daily Collegian : • ''' ' • • ; Fla. man finds a 'hot piece' waiting in bed FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) When a big hunk of metal crashed through the roof and into his bed, Bill Peebles thought he might have his very own souvenir from a falling Soviet satellite. An investigation, however, es tablished that the unidentified fly ing object had not comp from a Sputnik or even from a fighter at nearby Eglin Air Force Base, but from a Chevy Camaro six doors down the street. Richard Hammerschmidt, an 18-year-old high school graduate, said he was preparing to take his just-tuned red car for a test drive Friday when the motor "just blew in a heartbeat." "I pushed or revved a couple of times," Hammerschmidt said. "It exploded. Went through the hood." 'Launched into the air was a 6- by-8-inch chunk of alloy weighing 5 to 10 pounds. It had been part of the car's flywheel. More than 250 yards away, the rocketing fragment smashed a 6- inch hole in Peebles' shingle roof. Peebles, who was out to dinner, said the first thing he noticed after returning home was a piece of ceiling tile on the bedroom floor. Then he found the metal, still warm, lying on the bed. Peebles said he thought it was a piece from a Soviet military satel lite that scientists say is falling to Earth. Then he saw an American style serial number and thought it had come from a plane. Eglin security officers went to the house and checked the hunk and said it didn't come from a military plane, police officer Skip Gatwood said. But on Saturday morning, Ham merschmidt telephoned pOlice. "My mother had seen the news paper and she told me what had happened," he said.
