PAGE EIGHT THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL 13,,1975 Bucher Says U.S. Must Take Action SAN DIEGO (UPI) Lloyd Bucher, who commanded the U.S. Navy ship Pueblo when it was seized by North Korea, said that unless the United States takes strong military action against Cambodia immediately to free the captured merchant ship Mayaguez such incidents will multiply. "Unless we learn our lesson, there will be increasing tweaking of our tail around the world," said Bucher, now retired from the Navy. He said the United get the Mayaguez and its crew out of there by whatever means neccesary, action.

We have to react if we expect to have any leadership or credibility left in the world. "It is a Bucher said. Failure to take "immediate retaliatory action will only tempt others to pull bigger and more severe depredations," he said. Bucher, then a commander, was skipper of the electronic intelligence gathering ship Pueblo when it was surrounded by North Korean gunboats and boarded on Jan. 23, 1968.

He and the crew spent 11 months as prisoners. They said they were beaten and tortured. They were not released until the korea kept the ship. "The prestige of our country should not have suffered embarrassment from an outfit like North Korea, in its seizing the Pueblo on the high seas and then abstracting an apology from our government for haying the ship there," Bucher said. "I hope to heck there's no doubt in the mind of President Ford," that swift military relationship is needed; Bucher said.

"I would hope that it will all be over in a matter of days." The federal govrnment is obliged to protect U.S. flag carriers assaulted by foreign powers on the high seas, he said. "The responsibility is clear cut and historical." Bucher retired from the Navy in June, 1973 after 28 years service. Malpractice (Continued from page 1.) growing national problem'' that should keep large numbers of doctors from leaving the state. But the governor reiterated his call for speedy legislative action on other pending malpractice bills.

He singled out measures that would shorten the statute of limitations in malpractice cases and provide alternatives to litigation such as binding arbitration. "We need a rounded and comprehensive package," he said. The fund is unique in that it is self-supporting, paid for by premiums charged to those who use it, and that in the event premiums are insufficient to cover actual costs, assessments are made on a per-capita basis depending on risk category. The fund will be managed by a board of directors, appointed by the governor with Senate concurrence. The board will consist of a public member and two representatives for every group of physicians covered by the fund.

However, before "the' board can be appointed, Insurance Commissioner Daniel J. Dem- tow must hold a hearing io establish that commercial insurance is not available for a specific number of doctors. This hearing will be held within the next 10 days, an aide to Demlow said. The other bill sets up a monitoring system under which Demlow and the appropriate state licensing boards will be able to keep track of the number of malpractice claims filed and assess actions needed to remedy problems.

(Sentinel photo) Four Performances Slated For Dutch Heritage Show Kalamazoo Says Busing Fight Ends A A A (UPI) Kalamazoo officials have tactit- ly conceded there is no way they can continue their legal battle to block a school desegregation plan 'that includes widespread busing. The concession came late Monday, a few hours after the U.S.

Court had refused to hear appeals in the Kalamazoo busing case. Jack Hoekstra, president of the Kalamazoo school board, called the high court action "unbelievable." The only apparent way to halt busing, he said, is for voter's to "encourage" Congress to pass legislation that would wipe out busing on a national scale. Other officials said privately that the city's four-year legal fight was over. "I would think that just about ends the legalities of the case," one school official said. "But we've got to talk it over with our attorneys before we know for sure." Charles Warfield, one of six members of the Kalamazoo board, said he could see no further legal skirmishing in the case.

The reaction came after the court's refusal to hear appeals by the state of Michigan and by Kalamazoo of a court-ordered desegregation plan that began in late 1971.
