Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt, said the plan, scheduled to be submitted for Senate approval soon, should instead be withdrawn and redrafted. I think we should have a plan on a standby basis, Schlesinger re plied. “If you examine the details of this plan you will discover the agricul ture sector has been well protected and difference among states will be met by adjustments, Schlesinger said. Under the plan, drivers would be issued coupons for each vehicle they own. They could sell coupons on a “white market” to those who need more. States having unusual condi tions could receive extra allotments. Leahy said he found the plan “highly simplistic, lacking in focus or depth and missing top priorities because it is highly biased against rural areas.” It does not meet needs of non farming rural residents who must drive greater distances to their jobs, and fails to consider the difficulty of buying extra coupons in thinly populated rural areas, Leahy said. I fear the lack of diversity (in rural areas) and the lack of outlets will inflate the price and allow for uncontrolled speculation,” Leahy said. Sen. Wendell Ford, R-Ky., tes tifying as a witness, said there be will less Riel for food production and this “would have a profound impact on the entire nation.” 'wo skeletons found ► My counti] dents of the Upper Midwest this time of year. Koscielski said tests would de termine the cause of Shaw’s death. She had b een missing for 19 months. He said identification of the decomposed body was made through dental records, clothing and jewelry found near the body. Authorities said Shaw was re ported missing Sept. 11, 1977, by her husband, Willard Shaw. Shaw said there was evidence his wife had been abducted from their home. Koscielski said he was not able to determine how Shaw died, but he said the case was being treated as a homicide. He said other experts would examine the skeleton to de termine if there was evidence of any puncture wound — a gunshot or stabbing. In the Illinois case, Randolph County coroner Gary McClure said foul play is “very definitely” sus pected. The remains of the skeleton — scattered over a 40-foot square area — indicated a massive brain concus sion, McClure said. The skull con tained a hole. Authorities said a tire tool was found near the skelton, along with work boots, pants, a belt and what appeared to be a T-shirt. Police said the apparel indicated the victim was “most probably a male.” “We have an idea who it might be, McClure said, but he added authorities would not immediately release a name until dental chart records can be checked. State police and crime lab officials were investigating.

He also estimated the 800 em ployees who worked there in the past 52 years served about 16 mil lion cups of coffee. "Quite a few in our Indianapolis operation started there,” Cole said. “The building is literally worn out and there is not enough space to build one of our newer units,” said Gail Turley, director of public rela tions at corporate headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. "And land in that area is too ex pensive for a 22-cent operation,” he said, referring to the current price of the basic hamburger smothered in onions White Castle has been selling for years. The chain, which has opened a bigger, more modern outlet about a mile away to serve the same clien tele, isn’t interested in repairing and reopening the stand, but histor ical interests may buy it as a land mark. The Indiana Historic Landmarks Foundation contacted White Castle last week and made a presentation. “It’s been passed on to our owners, but no firm asking price has been set for the property,” Turley said. The Indianapolis Historic Preser vation Commission in September 1977, recommended No. 3 be nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. It met the re quirements — 50 years old, unusual architecture and outstanding signifi cance. The stand still is eligible, but so far it hasn’t been listed in the reg ister. No. 3 is one of the few White Cas tle stands still left with the “castle” architecture ordered by E.W. In gram, who founded the chain in 1921 in Wichita, Kan. It now oper ates 149 outlets in nine metropolitan areas in the Midwest and East. jyvfnf&ttiir The Best Plxza in Town (Honest) Tho Answer yis to « **I .overs greyer v LIVE MUSIC — Fri., Sat., Sun. playing your songs by request.

Half of all those abortions are il legal, the study said. The number of abortions is grow ing despite a decline in some West ern European nations, and the trend is expected to continue due to a preference for smaller families, lack of family planning services in many nations and an increase in the number of women of childbearing age, the report said. It said abortions are increasing even though illegal operations now represent a leading cause of death among women of childbearing age. Because of this, it said, govern ments should make a “full range of family planning methods widely available.” Committee spokeswoman Cynthia Green said the figures, compiled through 1976, were “pre tty precise” and were checked out by “as many sources as we could find.” ifornia Dreamin IS BACK CUSTOM SWIMWEAR CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU!
