only with circumstances of a dire na
tional emergency, Schlesinger ex
plained.
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soon, should instead be withdrawn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.”

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.

burgers were sold from that one out
let, and actually business has been
improving,” said John Cole, assis
tant area manager.
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.

WASHINGTON — The number
of abortions worldwide is steadily
mounting even though complica
tions from illegal operations now
represent a leading cause of death
among women of childbearing age, a
private report says.
“Worldwide, about one in four
pregnancies ends in abortion,” the
study by the Population Crisis
Committee said.
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.”
