One bullet penetrated in the area of the left hip and exited near the right hip. Another bullet entered Wolfe's right chest and exited through the left chest and traveled downward to exit over the left buttock, Dr. Segard said. Dr. Segard said their were no powder burns on Wolfe's body.

Dr. Elmer Kobold told the jury he treated Cattnach for two bullet wounds he received in the shooting incident. One bullet entered Cattnach's chest just above the heart and lodged over the pelvic area near the right buttock. Dr. Kobold said he removed this bullet during surgery and gave.

it to police officers. THE OTHER wound was to the left and above the navel. This bullet passed completely though Cattnach, Dr. Kobold said. The wounds could have been fatal, he said.

In opening statement Tuesday morning, Adams promised to call about 30 witnesses in the case. He said he would introduce evidence showing that Radford was the driver the green 1954 Chevrolet and that Radford shot Wolfe and Cattnach. Adams said he would introduce evidence showing that Radford had borrowed the gun a day or two before the shooting. The jury was picked in an objection-ridden afternoon session. During voir dire (questioning of the jury by respective counsel), Radford's attorney C.

F. (Timer) Moses scrawled an 11- point formula on a large tablet in the front of the courtroom. On the tablet, he defined the questions raised in the Radford case from the point-of-view of the defense. Article eight was entitled "a senseless Chopper: Crash Kills 12 SAIGON (UPI)-An apparently overloaded U.S. helicopter exploded in flight over a shantytown near Da Nang today, killing all 12 Americans aboard.

There were no casualties in the crowded hamlet. Military spokesmen said the cause of the crash was not immediately determined. Official sources said the Huey 'copter may have been overloaded since it carried a full complement of four crewmen and eight passengers plus baggage. Regulations call for the model to carry only five passengers with baggage. Spokesmen said the crewmen were from the U.S.

Army's Americal Division. The passengers included two army men, one Marine and five sailors who were. believed about to go on rest and recreation leave. Their names were withheld pending notification of next of kin. Picking jurors randomly, Moses asked, "If something was done without reason and without sense.

Then would you say that the defendant didn't appreciate the criminality of conduct. "IF YOU find there was no motive--that the defendant didn't even know these peoplethen there can be no premeditation." County Attorney John L. Adams objected to Moses questioning. "'He (Moses) is trying to interject a layman's definition of premeditation and deliberative acts. "This is improper voir dire," Adams said.

Judge Charles Luedke overruled Adams' objections. ONE OF Moses' articles was entitled "fear." Moses asked prospective jurors, "Is it true that if a situation arises where people have flights of fancy that someone is going to get them, that this kind of apprehension wouldn't be normal? "Do you believe that if people are in fear, they try to bluff out the situation?" At this Adams again jumped to his feet. "I object to this line of questioning." Adams said, "bluff is not a defense." DURING the course of the questioning, Moses told the jury voir dire is "largely a learning "If a person doesn't know the law how can we determine his impartiality," Moses said. Adams said, "The purpose of the voir dire is not only to select the jurors but it is also to condition them for the big Jurors picked for the case are Conrad Miller, Diana BirgenMyra Breitling, Rodney Kirkness, John Carpenter, Betty Gran, David Peterson, Betty McKeen, Janet Wetch, Rachel Fossum, Ludwig Huck and Miles Aleson.

Guaranteed Income For All Proposed WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sen. Fred R. Harris, proposed Tuesday, a $20 billion plan to guarantee every American family an income. It would provide $3,600 a year to a family of four when fully effective. Under the Harris plan, cosponsored by seven other Senate Democrats, the federal government would foot the bill for all welfare, relieving states of a cost totaling $4.4 billion a year.

"This would let states keep more of their own money," Harris told a news conference. The plan would go into effect over a three-year period, with needy families receiving a minimum income of $2,520 in the fiscal year starting next July $3,060 the next year, and $3,600 the following year. Under President Nixon's welfare reform program, a minimum income of $1,600 would be guaranteed a family of four. Like Nixon's program, Harris's contains a requirement that able-bodied men and women- -except the mothers of young children-would be required to work or take job training. Cosponsoring the plan with Harris were Sens.

He said Lufthansa Airlines would fly her back to Kenya and try to get her a re-entry permit there.

"She can't make a home out of airports," he said. Although Miss Vaid was born in Kenya, she is not a citizen. After Kenya became independent in December 1963, Asians living in the country were permitted to become citizens, but thousands of them preferred to retain British citizenships and their British passports. When the Kenyan government began giving black citizens job preference over Asians, an exodus to Britain began. The British, alarmed at the flood began a policy in 1968 of accepting only 1,500 Kenyan Asians holding British passports each year.

Britain's Foreign Office said Saturday that it would not make an exception in Miss Vaid's case, even though her brother had said he would be financially responsible for her. British officials in London put Miss Vaid aboard a Lufthansa Rowe Services Requiem mass will be offered 10 a.m. Thursday at the Church of the Little Flower. Burial will be in Holy Cross Cemetery.
