' ' '· ' • Patient Digging-· · It's· hard to believe, but a United Nations eo.ordinating ·committee recently report- ed that work is proceeding on schedule on the Mekong River Development Plan in the four countries of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and (South) Vietnam. In spite of civil war rag- ing in all four countries and international war in three of them, theN~ Ngum power plant and irrigation project in Laos is expected to be completed in December. In Cambodia (now known as the Khmer Republic) the Prek Thnot diversion dam is expected to be completed in July. The war has spread and intensified in Laos and Cam- bodia during the · last 12 months, creating hundreds of thousands of refugees and disrupting normal produc- tion and trade. American bombing from the air has been heavier and has ex- tended over more of Laos and Cambodia than before. Yet the patient digging and building of a co-ordin- ated group of dams and ir· rigation and flood control and power projects goes on, with international co-opera- tion and international financ- · ing. . . Americans hoped at one time to draw North Vietnam and the Communist factions in South Vietnam and Laos · into this great constructive project to make the whole Mekong valley bloom. That hasn't work, so far, but . Com1ilunist armies haven't interfered with the construc- tive work yet - and what is more astonishing, American bombs and rockets haven't, either. -Des Moines Register Amherst Abortion Mill Raided BUFFALO, N. Y. (UPI) - A doctor from Michigan was arrested Wednesday by suburb- an Amherst police and investi- gators from the Erie County dis- trict attorney's office on charg- es of operating an alleged abor- tion mill. Dr. Norman Sage, 31, who gave police addresses of South- field, Mich., and Amherst, is charged with a .violation of the pub~c health law for failing to file fetal death certificates fol- lowing performance of abor- tions. Police raided the alleged abor- tion mill in Amherst armed with a search warrant obtained from Erie County Judge Frank R. Bayger. Dist. Atty. Michael F. Dillon said he had substantial informa- tion \that these premises were being used for the performance of a large number of abortions on an interstate and internation- al scale.\ Dillon said the building at 225 Draden Lane was kept under surveillance after he received a complaint from a woman who required hospital treatment aft- er receiving an ai!lortion. Police said there were about 20 women on the ptemises when they arrested Sage. Sage faces arraignment in Amherst Town Court June 3.

Some govern- ment economissts admit pri- vately to nagging fears that unemployment will remain high. The jobless rate, probably the most politically sensitive of all economic figures, has been in the 6 per cent range since December, indicating the nation is experiencing its worst unemployment since 1961.

But, Whiteaker said, \we are certain he committed the murders.\ The graves were clustered along a half mile stretch on both sides of the Feather River, in California's Northern Central Valley. Corona, a native of Mexico who has lived in this area for more than a dozen years, has · been a licensed farm labor contractor since 1962 with a \clear\ record. He provided workers for farmers, drove to the jobs in a bus and, in return, collected 10 to 15 per cent of their salaries as a fee. 1.89 MILLION GALLONS PLANE FUEL GOES UP IN SMOKE AT -...--- .......
