Moff ett Favors Lebanese Buffer Zone The COURANT BUREAU WASHINGTON Rep. Toby Moffett, D-6th, Friday said he favors the establishment of a buffer zone "free from terrorist activity" along the border between northern Israel and southern Lebanon.

Moffett said he has sent letters containing his views to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and U.N. Ambassador William Scranton as well as to House and Senate foreign affairs committees. "Israel has the right to exist free from the constant threat of terrorism, with secure and guaranteed borders," said Moffett, who is of Lebanese descent. "The presence of roving bands of terrorists within gunshot of Israel's northern settlements is both unreasonable and unacceptable." The area that Moffett suggested be made into a buffer zone is largely barren countryside that was used by Palestinian terrorists prior to the civil war in Lebanon to train terrorists and launch raids against Israel.

After the transfer, Carr's case was sealed until the conclusion of grand jury proceedings. Wade argues that if his client were to be acquitted by the superior court, he would "resume his status as a A privilege of that status, he said, is protection from publicity which would irreparably damage his future. Wade contends that his client was transferred to the superior court only because juvenile detention facilities in the state cannot provide the education and training for someone of his intelli- gence and abilities. If Carr's case were handled in juvenile court, the maximum penalty would be two years in a juvenile detention facility. Because that is the sole reason for his transfer, Wade argues, his client should still be eligible for benefits of juvenile status, including anonymity.

There has been no finding he presents a danger to others, Wade says. Carr is free on bond and living with his family. No date has been set for a supreme court hearing on the appeal.

LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn (UPI) The whereabouts of "Missy," a little girl who asked for help at a rural home and then vanished, rer mained a mystery Friday despite a massive air and ground search. Helicopters, dogs, and hundreds of men continued to search a 10-square-mile area near the Tennessee-Alabama border, although officials were convinced she could not have survived in the freezing temperatures of the last two days.

The child, described as being between three and four feet tall with scratches on her face, was wearing only blue jeans and a white blouse when she appeared at the mobile home of Fred Leatherwood near sundown Wednesday. She ran into the woods a short time later after telling Leatherwood's family that a man had put her out of a car. Temperatures dipped into the teens Wednesday night and into the 20s Thursday night.

By PAUL FRISM AN WILLIMANTIC The attorney for a North Windham youth charged with murder has asked the state Supreme Court to allow his case to proceed in secret. Although his brief doesn't specifically ask that the trial be kept secret, Atty.

James Wade says his client is entitled to the cloak of anonymity with which the state public policy would clothe him in juvenile court." State Supreme Court Clerk Thomas Abraham said Friday he was not aware that any secret trial had ever been conducted in state superior courts. wade representing 16-year-old Andrew John Carr, has asked the court to rev-erst- Superior Court Judge Jay Rubinow's order to open the files in the case. Wade does not name Carr in his Nov. 24 brief, titled "State V. Anonymous." Carr, however, was charged in connection with the March slaying of 13-year-old Dawn Peterson, who is named in the brief.

Because his client was a juvenile at the time the crime was committed, Wade argues he is entitled to a "cloak of anonymity" to protect him from "adverse publicity." Rubinow ordered the files opened on Sept. 2, after Carr was indicted on a murder charge by a Windham County grand jury. Carr originally was referred to juvenile court in connection with the Mar. 26 bludgeoning death of the Peterson girl, bis next-door neighbor. He was transferred to Windham County Superior Court under a 1971 state law providing for the transfer of certain 14 to 16-year-olds charged with murder.

Such a transfer can take place only after a juvenile court hearing, finds that there is probably cause the youth committed the murder, that there is no juvenile court facility suitable for his treatment; that the safety of the community requires him to be confined beyond his 18th birthday; and that the superior court provides "a Deaths BOCYNESKY.
