AP His mother says it's "a miracle by God" that 13- yearold Andrew Odom being pierced by a four-foot, barbed fishing spear. Odom was in fair and stable condition late Sunday at Bethesda Memorial Hospital after surgeons removed the spear from his in a fourhour operation. "God guided a a through him," said Malveretta Odom, Andrew's mother, who is a registered nurse. "It could have hit five major organs." Andrew and his family had gone for an outing Saturday evening on Beer Can Island, just south of Boynton Inlet on the Intercoastal Waterway in southeastern Florida. Andrew had gone into the water about 10 feet from shore, police say, when he spotted a fish, and asked a younger sister on shore to toss over his spear gun.

She picked up the weapon and stood atop a tree trunk extending into the water. But as she walked toward Andrew, the girl slipped and tossed the gun at the same time, police said. The heavy elastic trigger mechanism went off and the spear flew into Andrew's midsection, with the point running clear through his body, resting in an area just below the rib cage. Mrs. Odom, hearing cries of the terrified sister, found Andrew still in the water leaning against the log.

He cried: "Mother, the spear has gone clear through me," the mother relates. "He kept saying, 'Mommy, am I going to said the mother. "He wanted me to pull the spear out," she said, "but as a registered nurse I know it was the worst thing I could possibly have The youngster was rushed to Bethesda with the spear still in him. A surgical team carefully opened his entire midtection to remove the spear. A hospital spokesman said the spear had "missed the major arteries and stomach by a hair's breadth." Said the spokesman: "The good Lord was good to that boy." AUGUST HEATING SALE! i SPECIAL OFF TM ON ALL LP-GAS HEATING EQUIPMENT IN STOCK! Campaign Plans Finalized Col C.

The Family By The Associated Press Maryland is joining neighboring states in an effort to halt the flow of contraband cigarettes from the tobacco- growing South to the high cigarette tax statos of the Northeast. The state recently raised its tobacco tax from six cents a package to 10 cents, making Maryland "a little more vulnerable" to bootlegging, officials admitted. Neighboring Virginia has a tax of only 2.5 cents a pack. the profits are higher further north. But they fear that Maryland could be next on the list as an outlet for the cigarettes.

The problem has come about because of the disparity between cigarette taxes in the South and in the Northeast, where states have raised the taxes in an effort to raise badly needed revenue. RICHMOND (AP) Author ities tend to discount speculation there may have been a link between the seizure of 3Vfe tons of marijuana in Hanover County in March and the mass slaying of three men and two women in Richmond 11 days later. That speculation has made the rounds since the incidents occurred, but one investigator few said over the weekend that au- clgarettes thorities have "no proven link between the two." Hanover County Investigator Clyde FutrelJ said "there have been a lot of rumors, but we're not investigating (a connection)." Three men were arrested and the marijuana recovered March 22 at the county airport after a marijuana-laden DC4 landed there. The Richmond shootings remain unsolved and under investigation. A spokesman for the Richmond Police Bureau's detective division refused to confirm or deny a possible link.

"We won't reveal who we're investigating," the spokesman said. There were reports from unnamed sources that at least one of the five shooting victims might have been slain by professional killers because the victim had tipped off police the plane was to land in the area. "There was no tip on that plane coming In. I'd love to know who those sources were," said Senior Asst. U.
