19, 1976 8 MS I Laetrile Breakthrough i SHAKE, RATTLE AND TOLL: If reports that 655,000 persons perished during earthquakes in China last summer are accurate, 1976 had the highest earthquake toll in modern times, the U.S. Geological Survey reports. The world toll was placed at 725,000. The record toll was due to more quakes in highly populated areas, the experts said. I RED PLANET RUMBLINGS: Seismic activity isn't limited to Earth: The Viking II Mars probe, it was revealed Friday, recorded two quakes on the Red Planet last November.

Scientists don't know enough yet to determine what caused the tremors. LAETRILE LEGALITIES: A 75-year-old San Diego man suffering from inoperable pancreatic cancer got a federal court order Friday allowing him to import laetrile, the controversial J(nti-cancer drug, from Mexico. The drug, derived from apricot pits, is used in 22 nations for treating cancer but is banned in the U.S. Lawyers will return to court Monday, seeking a waiver of responsibility for the MD who will treat the man.

He said it looked to him as if the snow had been thrown over the body in an effort to hide it. Two police helicopters were called to the scene to make an aerial surveillance and take photographs. Sgt. Dave Piche of the Berkley Police Department said nothing else was found near the body. He said there was no visible sign of how the girl was slain.

Police speculated that the body may have been dumped in the ditch sometime after Monday because the footprints were made in plowed snow. Monday was the last time the road was plowed. STEVE HANDEL, 17, who lives in a home in the cul-de-sac at the foot of Bruce Lane, said he regularly walks along the road in the morning and afternoon to and from the school bus. Except for the homes at the dead end, Bruce Lane in flanked on each side by woods and fields. Handel said the only unusual thing he noticed this week was a pickup truck parked Thursday near where the body was found.

He said the driver of the truck appeared to be sleeping. L. BROOKS Patterson, Oakland County prosecutor, said SALE Miss Fall and Winter Coats $44 to $68 dence to tie Kristine's death with the other four deaths of youngsters in southern Oakland County. Besides Miss Cadieux, Jill Robinson, 12, was found slain last Dec. 26, four days after she ran away from her Royal Oak home.

Sheila Strock, 14, was murdered while baby-sitting for her niece in Birmingham Jan. 19, 1976. A month later, the body of Mark Stebbins, 12, of Fern-dale, was discovered near a Southfield shopping center at TenMle and Greenfield. Both Kristine and the Robinson girl were fully clothed. The bodies of the others were in various states of undress.

KRISTINE was reported What a Grind As coffee prices soar, the penny-pinching public has searched for viable alternatives. Apparently one of the most viable is an exotic blend of barley, chicory and corn. It's a remnant of the Great Depression and is popularly known as "Hoover Coffee," after President Herbert Hoover. The exact recipe: one pound of barley, one-fourth pound of chicory and a half-pound of corn. Mix and roast in an oven until brown, then grind and brew like the real thing.

Laadb home about 3 p.m. to go to a nearby store to buy a teen magazine. Kristine arrived at the store, bought her magazine and left. The store clerk, Kathy Carson, was the last person to see her. Kristine's mother, who is divorced, remained secluded in her home Friday.

A friend said she was being kept informed of developments by police. AT PATTENGILL Elemen-tary School where Kristine was in the fifth grade, her teacher, Mrs. Sarah Bishop, said she was "shocked." "I can't get used to it yet," Mrs. Bishop said. She described Kristine as a kind and considerate child.

"I was looking through my records yesterday (Thursday) and I found a note Kris wrote me thanking me for a Christmas present," Mrs. Bishop said. "She was the only one in the class who was thoughtful enough to write me a thank-you note. That's the kind of sweet girl she was."

UNHOLLY ALLIANCE: Consumer activist Ralph Nader joined forces Friday with two congressman to urge that nuclear power plants be shut down unless there is absolute proof they can be safely operated. Among the group's demands: location of all reactors underground, and assignment of federal guards to monitor reactors with authority to shut them down at any time. SST BIRTHDAY: British Airways marked the first year of its commercial supersonic transport service Friday with dec-arations that the future is rosy for SST travel.

ACCIDENTLY ON PORPOISE: West Coast tunamen got a court order in San Diego Friday to block enforcemnt of a new law effectively prohibiting them from going after whitefin tuna, a common species. The law prohibited even the accidental killing of porpoises, who often travel with the whitefin. The judge set the limit on accidentaly killed porpoises to 10,000, however. Surveying the Scene The great American migration is slowing down, but the central cities are still the biggest losers. The Census Bureau says 35.6 million Americans moved during the year that ended last March, down two percent from the previous year.

Central city areas lost two millions folks, three out of four to the suburbs The adage that a women's work is never done is taking a beating. A McCall's magazine survey shows that four out of five housewives spend less than 30 minutes a day straightening up the house With housework apparently out of the way, more women are going to school. The Census Bureau reports a 75 percent jump in the number of women pursuing an education beyond a bachelor's degree last year As usual, newcomers to the job market will find a mixed situation. College grads in engineering or accounting are in demand. Non-grads willing to take special preparatory courses in technical fields will be in the money too.

Things look dimmest for communications and education grads. Jobs in those fields are particularly tight Tradition is making a comeback on college campuses. A survey backed by the Carnegie Foundation shows that in six years student interest in abolishing grades and required courses 'has dropped dramatically. Another thing making a comeback is religion 10 percent more disciples during that period Those petrodollars landing in Arab pockets have something attached to them American diseases. Cancer, heart disease and mental illness are growing in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran where such afflictions once were rare.
