Managing Editor One of the stories moving over the UPI wire this morning was interesting, but at the same time disturbing. The story was on statistics, released by the Population Reference Bureau, on the divorce rate in the United States. Figures compiled by the bureau show the U.S. still has the highest divorce rate in the world and for every 1,000 persons, five marriages will end in divorce.

This is far above any other country and a figure that should be of great concern. In addition, the rates of first marriage and remarriage have dropped sharply in the past five years, and 40 percent of all women in their late 20s will see their marriages end in divorce. Listed as the reasons for the drop in marriages and the increase in divorce were two factors: Vietnam removing many men from the marriage market and the of the women's movement" which put more young women into the labor market get a taste of an attractive option to marriage and preoccupation with child In the same report the bureau also said the number of unmarried persons living together has almost doubled to 2 million during the 1970s. This was an increase of 83 percent over 1970, and compared with only 9 percent increase from 1960 to 1970. One bright spot in the report was the fact that despite the increase in though unwed" was that couples living together without being being married make up only 2 percent of the 48 million "couple households." Living together without being married, is against the teachings of all religions, and most religions approve of divorce, and the startling increase in the statistics should be of concern to almost everyone.

Kenny said police have compiled a list of known sex offenders in the Morgan County area and are questioning them about their whereabouts Sept. 12 when Miss car stalled as she drove from her Cambridge City home to Bloomington. Retirement bills passed in Congress WASHINGTON (UPI) By overwhelming votes, the Senate and House have passed bills to allow millions of Americans who now must retire at 65 to work until 70 if they want to. Negotiators now will try to reconcile differences between the two bills. It appeared possible a compromise could be reached and signed into law by the end of the year.

An estimated one-third to one-half of American workers are governed by some mandatory retirement age, most commonly 65. A 1967 law already forbids employers from discriminating on the basis of age against persons 40 through 64. Both bills would extend this protection to an 70th birthday. In general this would mean an employe could work until 70 if he wanted to. But he still would have the option of retiring earlier.

Nothing in the bills would prevent an employer from keeping a worker on his payroll beyond 70. The Senate version passed 88-7 Wednesday would not apply to compensated management in business (defined as those with retirement pensions of more than $20,000 a year, not counting Social Security) or to tenured university professors Their employers could still require them to step down at 65. The House version passed 359-4 in September would treat businessmen and professors the same as everyone else. Business groups and university administrators lobbied for the Senate exceptions, arguing that if more people work longer there will be fewer jobs and promotion opportunities for younger employes, including women and members of minority groups. However, the American Association of University Professors and the National Organization for Women lobbied for the increased age limit.

NOW said women have more need than men to work into old age because they live longer, work for lower wages and retire with lower pensions. execution of the pilot aboard the hijacked Lufthansa jetliner. Waldheim invited Derry Pearce, head of the International Air Line Pilots Associations, to travel from Hong Kong to New York to discuss ways of curbing hijackings The pilots have demanded the U.N. take action against air piracy.

The 62-year-old president of the German Association had been shot in the head. He was kidnaped Sept. 5 in a machine gun attack in Cologne that left his four bodyguards dead. In the public protests, hundreds of demonstrators rampaged in the streets of Genoa, Italy, and smashed a glass door of the West German consulate building. Police fired their guns in the air to disperse the mob and arrested 19 persons.

In Rome, young rioters stormed down the elegant Via Veneto shooting out office windows. Police in armored cars pumped tear gas into the crowds to protect the West German Emxassy and the Lufthansa Airline building There were also disturbances in Milan and Como. In France, arsonists firebombed three West German tourist buses in downtown Paris and two in Nice. Passing motorcyclists doused the flames in the capital and damage was only slight, police said But in Nice, both buses were destroyed Italian authorities also reported bombings at German tomobile showrooms and businesses in Turin, Livorno, Bologna, Milan and Siena In Venice, attackers set fire to the door of the German consulate Telephone callers attributed the outbursts to leftists bent on avenging the deaths of Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe in their German prison cells. The Bonn government said the three made a suicide pact upon learning the hijacking plot to free them and eight other terrorists from West German jails had been smashed in Mogadishu.

The sheriff said it would be up to federal authorities whether to release Stewart to meet Hannon's demand.

Authorities originally thought two persons were involved in the hijacking. FBI officials said the confusion arose because of the apparent coincidence of the presence of a former high school friend of Lyle Wurtz, aboard the plane. Bill William, FBI special agent in Kansas City, said Wurtz helped with the negotiations with Hannon convinced him to release the women and children in Kansas William said tried to persuade him to give this thing up, but Hannon hear of Stewart is a native of Mobile, while Hannon is from Sioux Falls, but had been living in Grand Island.
