A major modification included a hydrogen peroxide "bath" applied to the paper. The peroxide is heated to 80 degrees centigrade, applied under pressure to the packaging material for two or three seconds, then removed with an "air knife." This process kills all bacteria the cause of souring in contrast to pasteurization, which kills only some of the bacteria. Another modification enabled the machine to form perfectly rectangular cartons instead of the original tetrahedral shape.

The advantages are overwhelming. The rectangular carton is easier to package and move than the Cuius Dlilf News Service Tomorrow's mill; carton will never have to see the inside of a refrigerator if the nation's dairy industry adopts a revolutionary packaging process from Europe. The process incorporates two major components to produce what the Europeans call "long-life Tetra standard aseptic, a system for killing all bacteria in milk by a relatively simple heating process. Tetra brik, a rectangular carton made from a roll of plasticized paper and filled without any air space. The result is a carton of milk that can be kept at room temperature several weeks without refrigeration.

Even after storage of more than two or three months, the milk does not sour, although the taste does change. Pyramid-Shaped Cartons Developed Export Milk To Tropics, Underdeveloped Nations normal "peaked room" carton used in the United States. The long-life milk has led to a new business-exportation of milk from dairy countries to non-dairy areas. This is particularly important in underdeveloped nations and isolated tropical areas, where regular milk cannot be stored. Other natural applications include use in far-flung mining and lumber camps and on long-tour Navy ships.

The major drawback to adoption by American companies is the tremendous cost of changing over from present systems of pasteurization and packaging. Since virtually every American family has a refrigerator, the need is not so great as in other areas.

99th YEAR lfcrt Air, Artillery Fire Kill 178 North Viets SAIGON (AP) U.S. Marine scouts sighted more than 400 North Vietnamese troops moving through jungled foothills southwest of Da Nang. The Marines called in artillery and air strikes that wiped out nearly half of the enemy force, military spokesmen reported today. in 1 garni PHiiiPil Diplomats See Good Chance Of Success LONDON (UPI) The Soviet Union has intervened in Hanoi at American urging in seeking an early breakthrough in the stalled Vietnam talks, diplomatic sources said today. The sources, in direct contact with the regime of President Ho Chi Minn, said: "Hanoi means They rated the chances of success as hopeful.

But. in Paris, U.S. and North Vietnamese negotiators today failed to reach agreement on conditions for a bombing pause. The next meeting of the Paris peace talks was scheduled for next Wednesday apparently meaning a week's delay in the Hanoi reply to Washington peace efforts. At the 27th session of the talks today, U.S.

Ambassador W. Averell Harriman told the Hanoi representatives that Washington was ready to move toward peace quickly. The Soviets have passed to Hanoi, at the request of the United States, "certain proposals" designed to get concrete talks for a Vietnam settlement going as quickly as possible, the sources said. PROPOSALS CENTER ON BOMB HALT The U.S. command said that the Marines sighted four col umns of North Vietnamese totaling about 400 soldiers on the move during the 24 hours before noon today, Vietnamese time.

Four artillery attacks and air strikes killed 178 of the enemy troops, a spokesman said The enemy soldiers, wearing various uniforms and carrying different types of weapons including rockets and mortars, were spotted in one of the valleys about 35 miles southwest of Da Nang. They were only 5 miles below the embattled Thuong Due Spe- cial Forces camp. REDS' FIRE KILLS FOUR CIVILIANS They were generally headed in a north-northeaster- ly direction, perhaps toward Thuong Due or even Da Nang, South Vietnam's second largest city. During the same period, enemy gunners fired 18 mortar rounas miu me district headquarters and a hamlet a mile away. A govern- ment spokesman said at least four civilians were killed and 13 others wounded.

Thuong Due was attacked by strong North Vietnamese forces on Sept. 28, and heavy fighting raged for two days.

(UPI) Rain, sleet, hail, snow and all that might not stop the postoffice, but a big, yellow tomcat sure slowed it.

Mrs. Lois Mall, Louisville postmaster, found the cat along with 75 letters and postcards in one of the city's mailboxes. "Oh, you never saw such a mess," she said. "There have been pop-sickles and chocolate-ice cream bars, but never a cat." 1968 3-17 Like most other spacemen on the 16 previous American flights, the Apollo 7 trio walked stiffly after the long confinement. But Carpentier said he was "very pleased with their total ability.

"No doubt about it, they are tired," he said. Eisele showed more weariness than the others because he had stood the last night watch and normally would have been preparing for sleep at the time of splashdown at 11 minutes, 57 seconds after 7 a.m. Visibility was the poorest for any recovery to date. Under normal clear conditions rescue helicopters would easily have spotted the orange and white chutes as they gent-lowered the spacecraft into the water miles from the carrier. But under leaden, gray skies, the descent was not seen from the ship, which disappointed television viewers hoping to see the recovery in color for the first time.

On landing, the chutes disengaged and the capsule tipped upside down in the water. It took 20 tense minutes before the world could be told that the men were safe. Chris Kraft, director of flight operations at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, said the splashdown was only one-third mile from the aiming point. "The carrier was in the wrong place," he said with a smile. So 10c 50c Per Week Carrier Delivered Hanoi will not, however, concede any reciprocal gesture of restraint on its part, as part of its faee-saving strategy.

The informants suggested that, in the Soviet view, there have in effect already been signs of Communist restraint in the fighting in Vietnam. The Americans have disputed this. The package involves, however, restraining measures in the demilitarized zone after a bombing halt. The exact scope of the measures has not been disclosed, but they are be- leveri to lPi'lim a era linn down of North Vietnamese in filtration. The informants made it clear that there are "several other (undisclosed) conditions" included in the plan.

According to the informants, the main problem in the delicate soundings is the aues- made. Hanoi insists on getting the National Liberation Front to the conference table. Saigon opposes this and American hands are tied to some degree. The effort, therefore, is directed toward devising some compromise formula, the sources said.

The decision on whether the Apollo 8 flight will be another earth orbit or circumlunar is expected in November. For Navy Capt. Walter M.

Schirra Air Force Maj. Donn F. Eisele and civilian Walter Cunningham, the next few weeks will be a continuous round of medical examinations, debriefings and reports. The Apollo 7 crew splashed down at 7:12 a.m. EDT yesterday in the Atlantic southeast at Bermuda.

Officials called the Apollo 7 flight "a perfect mission." After the three men were brought aboard the Essex, Dr. William Carpentier, the recovery team chief physician, said a medical examination showed all three men "essentially normal no problems." He said the men showed no sign of mental strain, no irritation. "Quite the opposite," Carpentier said. Eisele had some residual infection, but otherwise there was no evidence of the colds that plagued all three astronauts during the flight and caused so much worry for their re-entry. The men came out of orbit without their helmets to permit them to hold their noses, blow and equalize the atmospheric pressure on their ears.

(AP) Miss Priscilla Faye Ford of Crawfordsville, walked into the city detective bureau yesterday to talk to an officer and found herself behind bars. Detective Carl Bunch was talking via tele-phone with Montgomery County Sheriff C. R. Demoret of Crawfordsville, when Miss Ford, about 22, entered the room.

"Hello, Priscilla," said Bunch. "Priscilla who?" asked Demoret at the other end. "Priscilla Faye Ford. She's a friend of Ernest Lewis Carr, the man we arrested for you on those bad check charges," replied Bunch. "We have a warrant for her, too," Demoret said.

Bunch put down the phone, turned to Miss Ford, and said, "You're under arrest; please have a seat." Demoret said Carr, 38, Crawfordsville, and Miss Ford are wanted in connection with the passing cf 21 forged checks taken in a burglary of a Ladoga meat locker plant.
