CALLAHAN FUNFRAL. HOME 1602 Main St. East Hartford 289-0209 Still Unidentified Springfield police are still seeking the identity of the of a man who was found last Dec. 18 at the Hotel Charles in Springfield. Police say the man, who registered as Bruce Peck of 21 Orange Storrs, killed himself at the hotel with an overdose of barbiturates.

Because of the Storrs address, which doesn't exist, the Springfield police assume that the man had a family or contacts in Connecticut. He is identified as having been about 20 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair having a reddish tint, hazel eyes and a muscular build. The Connecticut State Police Bureau of Identification has checked through its more than 485 000 fingerprints on record without identifying the man, who was found dressed in work jeans and work shoes by a hotel employe.

VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) Enemy forces overran some government positions on a key ridge overlooking Long Cheng and hand-to-hand fighting was reported Friday for control of the former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency base.

American military informants said. Laotian troops, who had pushed an enemy regiment off most of the ridge top three days ago, were forced to abandon a helicopter landing pad in the counterattack. It began Thursday night with a heavy bombardment by North Vietnamese mortars and artillery followed by an infantry assault against the government-held bunker complex. "Several positions were taken by the enemy," said one U.S. officer.

"Fighting is continuing, some of it hand to hand." He said American jets were experiencing difficulty in knocking out the North Vietnamese long range artillery, which fires on Long Cheng from the southern edge of the Plain of Jars. So far they have been able to destroy only five of the estimated 20 guns. "They keep moving all the time," said the officer. "They (North Vietnamese) are draggthem around with tanks and five ton trucks. A plane can make a bomb run only to discover the gun isn't there any more." Battle Involves The battle for Long Cheng, 78 miles north of Vientiane, is said to involve North Vietnamese regulars and 3,000 government defenders.

Two weeks of fighting has cost each side more than 500 dead. Farther north, four battalions of North Vietnamese regulars and Pathet Lao guerrillas attacked four government positions guarding a road junction midway between Vientiane, the administrative capital, and the royal capital of Luang Prabang. U.S. sources said one position was overrun Thursday night and another was abandoned Friday morning. It was not clear who controlled the tion of Routes 13 and 7 known as Sala Phou Khoun: "American gunships and Laotian T28 bombers supported the government troops all night," reported one officer.

"Early this morning, friendly forces heard three North Vietnamese tanks rumbli.g down Route 7." In South Vietnam, B52 bombers hammered the western reaches of the central highlands, where the enemy is reported bringing in sophisticated antiaircraft equipment before launching an offensive. The Command reported the eight- Stratofortresses flew four more missions in the fifth straight day of bombing suspected troop concentrations and supply dumps there. It is the largest bombing campaign in the central highlands in more than two years. Trails Sighted Informed sources said the North Vietnamese are concentrating both tanks and artillery in the area. They reported sighting of new tank trails and what appear to be signs of sophisticated antiaircraft guns and equipment.

The U.S. Command said a troop of American air cavalrymen and part of an artillery battery have been moved to Pleiku, another major highlands city, but emphasized it represented no major change in strength there. The 250 men involved replace part of a withdrawing U.S. infantry battalion that had been on security duty. The only change is that the cavalrymen are equipped with helicopters.

The enemy shot down a U.S. helicopter and maintained its series of attacks on allied positions across South Vietnam. The U.S. Command said a light observation helicopter was shot down 29 miles southwest of the northern city of Hue and its two crewmen were wounded. In the heaviest of the enemy attacks, Saigon headquarters reported a barrage of 20 mortar shells was laid down on a South Vietnamese armored cavalry position just south of the demilitarized zone between the two Vietnams.

Tobacco Growers In Valley Favor Price Supports WINDSOR LOCKS Broadleaf and Havana seed tobacco growers of the Connecticut Valley have voted to continue the marketing quota and price support program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture for another three years. The action was reported Friday by Harold D. Ellsworth, chairman of the Hartford County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Cigar binder tobacco growers in the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts voted in a mail referendum earlier in the month and the ballots were tabulated by the respective county ASC committees on Jan.

19. Preliminary tabulating showed approval by 92 per cent of the 282 growers voting in both states, Of these growers voting, County, one in Middlesex County and 81 in the tobacco growing counties of Massachusetts. A favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes was necessary to make the quotas effective. As a result of the referendum, price support will be available to growers who stay within their cigar binder tobacco acreage allotments and marketing quota penalties will apply to the excess marketings of farmers who produce in excess of their farm allotments.
