(AP) Medical specialists have recreated the face of an unidentified murder victim whose skeleton was found under a collapsed shed last September. The face, made of modeling clay, will allow the search to resume for the young victim's killer, who shot her in the head as long ago as 1975. Law enforcement officials spent months in an unsuccessful effort to identify her by the bones, the traces of skin and hair and a few remnants of clothing found on the skeleton. knew she was someone's daughter, maybe someone wife, and that maybe someone, somewhere was looking for her.

Now Jane Doe has a face, fashioned by specialists at the Federal Aviation Aeromedical Institute in Oklahoma City. The technique was developed by Dr.

The institute has recreated 25 faces during the past 10 years and the reconstructions have contributed to identifications in 20 cases.

Sometimes we're closer than he said. Betty Gatliff, a medical illustrator in Snow's office, used about three pounds of modeling clay for the reconstruction of Jane Doe. work is a little like putting a puzzle said Miss Gatliff.

Snow said his office recreated the face of a woman found shot to death in Oklahoma last year. The recreation led to her identification and ultimately to the arrest and conviction of a man on murder charges.

Toth said he received a telephone call summoning him to an interrogation office at Lefortovo Prison later today. The correspondent, who planned to leave Moscow on Friday at the end of a three year assignment to the Soviet Union, was interrogated for three hours last Saturday after meeting with a Soviet scientist to get material for a story. The scientist was Valery G. Petyukhov, who described himself as a specialist in parapsychology, mental telepathy and extrasensory perception.

Eight circuits were affected in the Pomona area and at least 22 in the Ontario area, interrupting power to thousands of homes and businesses for brief periods. The shorting of the circuits caused a number of lines to fall. Edison Co. crews were working all night to repair these lines. According to Lloyd Smith, district manager in Ontario, a few customer were without power for up to four hours while the crews replaced lines.

Most customers were without electricity from one-half to one minute, Smith said. McDaniel said that the cause might be interesting. contacted the Los Angeles and San Bernardino county departments and the Ontario International Airport for help in our McDaniel added. He said that a previous circuit interruption a few years ago was traced to a deliberate radar interruption while military activities were taking place. we are unable to trace this incident to any such radar activity at this added the Pomona manager, at about the time of the circuit interruption by both Montclair and West End law enforcement agencies.

The report shows that while the eastern portion of Los Angeles County pays a basic rate of $505 a West End motorists are charged $607 for the same insurance on the same car. Car owners in Central Los Angeles, including the Watts Willowbrook area are charged for the same insurance. Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, whose office compiled the report to show the inconsistency of the rate structure, said he was a loss to understand what basis the insurance industry was using to set the He said the only conclusion he could draw was that the rating system was out of date and needed to be replaced. Hahn said the county Board of Supervisors has instructed the county counsel to file a class action suit against the insurance industry to abandon its present practice of redlining and to adopt a uniform statewide structure based on individual driving records.

He claims the insurance industry is still working on a actuary table that was used shortly after the Watts riots in 1964. Under that chart, the California Insurance Service Office, which represents about 200 companies throughout the state, reportedly has set up risk and arbitrarily high rates for motorists who live there whether they are good drivers or His investigation of the rates was based on the use of a 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo sedan, with a $200 deductible clause for collision and $50 deductible for comprehensive claims. The rate structure also showed that while the valley was paying much less than the Los Angeles area, it was being charged considerably more than other parts of the state, regardless of the number of accidents. According to the report, Pomona was paying 9 per cent more than Bakersfield, a city with approximately the same population, even though Pomona had 15 per cent fewer injury accidents last year than Bakersfield. The comparison also showed that Claremont motorists were paying 23 per cent more than those in Eureka in Humboldt County, even though Claremont had 64 per cent fewer injury accidents than Eureka.

La Verne was paying 31 per cent more than Coronado in San Diego County, although La Verne had 32 per cent fewer crashes; and Walnut was paying 9 per cent more than Wasco, in Kern County, and had 32 per cent fewer injury claims. just make any sense to Hahn declared. certainly hope that the class action suit will bring out not only what the rates are based on, but also how fat the insurance industry has been growing at the expense of the taxpayers. Coffee production up WASHINGTON (AP) World coffee production is expected to increase sharply this season but still will be below the levels of two or three years ago before frost damaged the large Brazilian crop, the Agriculture Department said to- dav. Officials did not estimate the impact of the larger crop on consumer coffee prices.

But wholesale prices have recently eased back from their rapid upward spiral of the past year. The Foreign Agricultural Service, in its first estimate of 1977-78 world coffee production, said that output is expected to be 70,4 million bags, up 14 per cent from 61.5 million in 1976-77. Even so, the crop will be well below production in the two previous years included 81.1 million bags in 1974-75 and 73.6 milion in 1975-76. A bag of green, unroasted coffee is about 132.2 pounds.

Residents demanded that the death Rudy Raul Garcia be investigated jy the U.S. Department of Justice and the council agreed to seek such an investigation. Garcia died Sunday night after collapsing at the Pomona police station following his arrest in south Pomona.

The police said Garcia became during a narcotics investigation and officers had to physically subdue him. Residents told a different story Monday night, however, claiming the car Garcia was riding in was stopped by police only because he and the other occupants were Latin and that police used excessive force.

In its decision, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Port Authority has the power to set noise regulations at its airports and can However, the appeals court said the local ban on operations of the Concorde may have been unreasonable because the Port Authority has failed for 13 months to decide whether the plane would meet its regulations. The appeals court therefore ordered a U.S. District Court to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine if the Port ban has been unreasonable.
