those chosen by Branigin

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Gov. ernor Branigin said that he has established 14 planning and development regions for Indiana to improve coordination of state plans and programs with those at the federal, regional and local levels. The regions are delineated on the basis of physical contiguity, commuting dependence, trade areas and economic and popu. lation data. The 14 regions, where possible, will provide uniform boundaries for coordinated federal, state and local planning and development programs. The regions also will provide a means for Indiana communities to obtain federal planning and development assistance programs which require regional coordination, Branigin said. The Division of Planning of the Department of Commerce has been designated as the state agency responsible for the administration of the regions. A breakdown of the 14 regions, by county: Region 1—Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski and Starke. Region 2—St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, and Kosciusko.

By ALVIN B. WEBB JR. SAIGON (UPI)-Ground fire today shot down a U.S. reconnaissance plane shooting pictures of North Vietnam’s southern panhandle, American headquarters said. It was the fourth American plane shot down over North Vietnam since the northern bombing stopped Nov. 1. Three were reconnaissance planes, the fourth an escort plane guarding picture.taking pilots. The pilot and his backseat radar man turned the crippled plane out to the South China Sea today, bailed out and were rescued off the North Vietnarnese port of Dong Hoi. While trying to rescue the crewmen of planes shot down previously, American headquarters said, U.S. warplanes bombed North Vietnam gun positions firing at them. There were no reports today of the need for bombing to protect the downed fliers. In the ground war, U.S. Marines drove a wedge into a Communist bastion threatening Da Nang and, with South Vietnamese troops, killed 91 guerrillas. An American official called Sunday’s fight one of the fiercest since the bombing of Norjh Vietnam stopped 39 days ago and said Marines sweeping the battlefield today “are finding bodies faster than they can count them.” The Leathernecks lost 16 men killed and 37 wounded, including

“heavy” casualties to one 45man platoon, battlefield reports said. South Vietnamese losses were described as “light” with no fatalities. Marines closing a massive noose around what they call “Dodge City,” 13 miles south of the allied stronghold at Da Nang on South Vietnam’s northern coast, said the fighting erupted near where they had found 47 guerrilla bodies, 12 bunkers and 30 covered foxholes from an earlier battle. Da Nang is South Vietnam’s second largest city, 360 miles North of Saigon.

From hideouts in a treeline, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese opened up with mortars, machineguns and rifles while the Marines dove for cover and hurriedly called for divebombers and artillery barrages. A column of South Vietnamese troops and armor moved into help. The battle raged until nightfall when the Communists broke it off and vanished into the darkness. Marines said the Reds left some of the sturdiest bunker dugouts they had seen in

Supports abortion passage

ALBUQUERQUE. N.M.(UPI) — A Roman Catholic priest said today he supported passage of a state abortion law, which his church condemns, but has been promoted by the New Mexico Council of Churches. The Rev. Albert Schneider is president of the state council of churches, but that was not what prompted him to take the stand in opposition to his own church’s views. His support for legislation permitting abortion in certain circumstances stemmed from two basic convictions; First, he said, one person’s conscience should not be binding on another. Recalling the Volstead act, he said, “when it

prohibited drinking, it denied people the freedom of conscience to make the choice for themselves.” Second, he said, scientists and theologians have been unable to pinpoint at what stage in its development a fetus becomes an integral human being. “My point is, can we define instances when because of circumslances the fetus actually does become a threat to the life of others,” said Schneider. “The Catholic Church has said you have the right to your own conscience. However, if you exercise this right concerning termination of a pregnancy, you can now do so only by going outside the law.

the war. In two other operations, allied troops reported turning up Sunday two major guerrilla caches within 60 miles of Saigon. Communist mortarmen slammed 10 rounds into the U.S. airfield at Nha Trang, causing light damage. Bodies of missionaries found KINSHASA, Congo (UPI)The bodies of three American missionaries missing since Oct. 13 have been found in the burned out shell of their light plane deep in the Congo Rain Forest, searchers said today. Dr. Gene Johnson, chief physician of the hospital in Boende, 475 miles northeast of here,said he found the wreckage of the missionaries’ Cessna 185 Nov.29 along the Boende • Mbandaka Road west of Boende. Inside the fuselage, which had been completely burned, were the bodies of Mrs. Harrison Goodall of Birmingham, Ala., Mrs. Mary Hoyt of Detroit and the pilot, Capt. Max Myers of Indianapolis, Ind., all still strapped in their seats. The doctor said the bodies had burned so badly identification had to be made using personal metallic objects. All three missionaries were buried Sunday in Boende.

LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: When I w:i.s first married, both Tom and I were very fond of waffles and I looked forward to using my new waffle iron. Well, my first waffle was actually not black . . . but it was so dark, hard and inedible that we both got quite a kick out of it. I was surprised later that morning to walk into the kitchen and find a new decoration hanging over the door. You guessed it! Tom had nailed the waffle on the wall. It was quite a conversation piece for awhile. Mrs. Thomas Casey

DEAR HELOISE: Yesterday I was wrapping a gift for my boss. When he noticed my way of folding the cellophane roll tape together so that it was sticky on both sides, he suggested I tell you about it.

I simply cut off as much tape as needed and stick one end over the other. The result is a circle with the adhesive side outward. When this circle is flattened, both sides of the flattened tape are adhesive.

It’s a marvelous means for attaching bows and ornaments on packages. Also foi attaching gift tags without leaving any tell-tale sign of cellophane tape showing. Marion Mango Ever tried wrapping the tape wrongside out around a pencil? Makes tiny, easy-to-remove circles for your project. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I had a few biscuits leftover from breakfast and wanted to warm them for supper. But didn't want to heat up the oven for just those few. So I wrapped them tightly in a piece of foil, turned the lid upside down on the boiling potato pot (use a large pot so potatoes won't boil oven and put the biscuits in the upside down lid. Then put another lid over them to cover them completely. Result ? Hot tender biscuits just like out of tlie oven. Faithful Reader
