1 Richards9 Car Found Near Dedham Copter Pad The auto of Thomas R. Richards, long-missing Plymouth mail robbery defendant, was found at 2:30 this morning beside the helicopter pad outside the Holiday Inn in Dedham. It was the first clue police have had in their search for the 41-year-old North, Weymouth man, who vanished on Nov. 1, six days before he was to have gone on trial for the $1.5 million heist. Officers spotted the 1967 aqua-colored sedan parked at the inn, which is on Rte.

1 near the junction of Rte. 128. The car was close to the landing place used by helicopters in providing regular service between the hotel and Logan Airport. There were four inches of snow on the roof, indicating the car had been there at least since the storm New Year's Eve. A search of the vehicle disclosed an automatic shotgun, burglar tools and some clothing.

Fingerprint experts and FBI agents were called in to examine the car. A preliminary check showed no bloodstains or other evidence that Richards may have met with violence. Sgt. Nicholas DeFalco and Officer Aldo Savi of the Dedham police discovered the car during a routine check. Helicoperter service is provided every 15 minutes between the Holiday Inn, Hotel 123 in Dedham, and Logan Airport by Air General on a reservation basis.

MICCICHE Gov. Volpe told the Legislature today "we must dig in together" in 1968 to balance the commonwealth's account to the people. Volpe addressed the opening of the new legislative year 12 hours after the 1967 sitting expired with 250 bills left to die unacted upon. Among this unfinished, business were several key bills of the Volpe administration. Volpe told the lawmakers he will re-submit them this year, together with a broad program of new legislative ideas.

Combined, they form the biggest package of legislation Volpe has filed in an annual message since first becoming governor in 1960. The Republican governor opened his noontime address by hailing the work of the Democratic-dominated Legislature in its non-stop 1967 session as "creative and effective by any yardstick." Cambodia Peril Seen By Vatican Vnllfd rrrni International VATICAN CITY The Vatican City weekly L'Osservatore Delia Do-menica today called for the end of bombing over North Vietnam and warned of the dangers of extending the war into Laos and Cambodia. The editorial said it would be a mistake to think "the eventual extension of the war to Laos and Cambodia an eventuality that troubled the last days of 1967 and the first days of 1968 might offer the way out. Indeed it is to be feared it. would complicate things and provoke unpredictable e-quences, ominous for all.

The Vatican weekly said the United States was "in a blind alley" in the Vietnam war arid the bombing, "if it sorely tries North Vietnam, also noticeably damages the very ones who started it." CAMBODIA Page 18 But Volpe gently admonished that "in too many other areas, the job simply was not done." These areas of failure he specified as Civil Service reform, automobile insurance, the Greater Boston stadium, low-income housing assistance, protection of the state's inland wetlands resources, the repeal of fixed liquor prices, and immunity to witnesses who testify against organized crime. "We enter the new session," Volpe told the legislators, "with our account to the people not fully in balance. Our job, starting today is to dig in and set the scales in balance and we must dig in together." VOLPE Page 15 GUIDING CHANGES is Boston School Supt. William Ohrenberger. Educators outside the system, and within, credit him for creating climate for change and welcoming innovation.

Tornrose, superintendent of water distribution of the M.D.C., said the pressure was not up to the standard but that the danger was past. "We are thankful there was no serious fire," Tornrose said. Trio to Head U.F. Competent educational authorities with an outside view of the Boston school realm warn it's time to stop kicking the victim. Boston needs a boost rather than a blast, a recognition of its areas of excellence, and of its promise.

They contend the brush painting Boston a dark gray has been too wide. Many good things are happening exciting school ventures with potential for a real upward swing. One voice rising from the vantage point of Harvard's School of Education belongs to George Thomas, director of field activities. Notes Thomas: "The Boston schools have been pilloried, without any recognition of the excellent things that are happening. "There, are hundreds of capable teachers who never get credit, and their morale is far lower than anyone realizes.

"The climate for change is obvious under Supt. William Ohrenberger. But change won't occur until there is less of a stereotyped criticism." Dean Theodore Sizer of the Harvard School of Education agrees and, like Thomas, he stresses that Boston must develop a greater sense of urgency.

Prime Minister Balthazar J. Vorster said: "I am very glad to hear that the operation was successful."

Barnard reported that the operation on Blaiberg went tic calls, an M.D.C.

"We have crews shutting off valves in the territory to control the flow of water." The official said excavators had not yet reached the site of the break, at Middlesex av. at the Malden-Medford line. Two huge mains, one of 42-inch diameter and the other 48-inch, come together at that point.

WATER MAIN Page 16 Lonborg Seen Out For Sox Opener By CLIF KEANE Jim Lonborg possibly will not be able to open the 1968 Red Sox season and may not be ready to pitch until May, said Sox trainer Buddy Le-Roux today. "It would have been better if it was a cartilage." said LeRoux of Lonborg's ski injury of Dec. 23 out on the West Coast. "Torn ligaments are murder to mend." The Sox trainer said that Lonborg would "have to stay put" for a while, maybe at LeRoux' house. It was also learned that it is planned to put a stiffer cast on the left knee, one that would be tighter around the injury.

After the operation here, it was announced that there were no complications, and that Lonborg would be able to pitch the Sox opener in April. Today's verdict by LeRoux apparently upsets the Red Sox timetable in their campaign to repeat the impossible dream of 1967.

There has been no reason given why police are guard-ing all entrances to Blaiberg's room. Two reasons apparently have dictated the move. The first is to keep newsmen away from the patient and the second to enforce a more improved system of sterilization than was carried out on Washkansky.
