In nearby Waterford Mott
High School, one-half of the
normal attendance of about 700
students showed up. Waterford
Township High reported about 35
per cent absenteeism and Water-
ford Kettering about 45 per cent
absenteeism.
In other sections of the s t a t e,
however, reports from scattered
school districts indicated that the
boycott was being ignored.
School officials in Kalamazoo
and Flint reported that classroom
attendance was normal for a Mon-
day.
The Pontiac police report issued
last week showed that since bus-
ing began in the school system
this year, incidents involving black
and white students that h a v e
caused police to be called in have
risen.
McCabe called for the boycott
for an "indefinite" period of time

Dacca, Pakistan ( - The
Pakistan military claimed
yesterday that 147 persons
were killed in fighting in East
Pakistan, where informed
unofficial sources said both
India and Pakistan were us-
ing airplanes to protect bor-
der positions.
According to official sources,
the Pakistani army killed 73 in-
truders, some of whom were de-
scribed as Indian soldiers, in
fighting off two battalion-sized at-
tempts to cross the border in the
Mymensingh district, north of
here.. The Pakistanis gave no in-
dication of their own casualties.
During the fighting, India's
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi de-
nounced the leadership, of Paki-
stan as "military hoodlums" and
said actions will be taken to -pro-
tect India's own security and sta-
bility.
Gandhi warned that her coun-
try could no longer cope with the
millions of refugees crossing into
India, "jeopardizing my country's
stability and integrity."
She urged the Pakistan govern-
ment to let the refugees return,
to give meaning to elections in the
eastern province.
the Pakistan army reported in
addition to troops suspected of
being members of the Mukhti Ba-
hini - the Bangla Desh rebel
army - some bodies were found
with Indian military identity
discs.
The Pakistanis also claimed 67
civilians, many of them women
and children, were killed in what
the military said was shelling on
four border locations from India.
The Pakistanis claimed 2,200
rounds were fired yesterday.
The casualties bring the total
reported since fighting erupted
last March to about 2,000 - most
of them in September and Octo-
ber.
Informed sources said the Paki-
stanis and Indians both were us-
ing planes near the border area
around Comilla, east of here.
A military source said the
troop assault'was accompanied by
an artillery bombardment.
He added that several Indian
soldiers and a large quantity of
arms and ammunition were cap-
tured by Pakistani forces.
Another source claimed that
Indian attempts to capture Kasba,
a small township on the Comilla-
Tripura border east of Dacca,
were foiled yesterday: Indian ag-
ents, border forces and artillery
units were said to have suffered
438 dead and at least 10 wound-
ed.
The source said the captured
arms included machineguns, rifles,
mortars and hand grenades.
In Rawalpindi, President Agha
Mohammed Yahya Khan of Paki-
stan was reported to have asked
United Nations Secretary-General
U Thant to visit India and Paki-
stan in the hopes of arranging a
mutual withdrawal of forces from
the frontiers. Yahya Khan, who
apparently was replying to a let-
ter from Thant, suggested that
U.N. observers oversee the with-
drawals.

LANSING (P) - State legis-
lators reconvene at the Capitol
today after a bitterly protract-
ed summer-long session that
ended Sept. 10.
Principal chores include final
action on the $500 million plus
welfare bill to fill the last hole
in the year's $2.05 billion total
budget, plus consideration of
the House-passed drug bill.
Marijuana possession, under
the new drug bill, would be re-
duced from a felony to a mis-
demeanor. The present 20-year
sentence for use and sale of

marijuana would be eliminated
and, under the House version,
the first offense would call for
90 days in jail and a possible
$500 fine.
A controversial bill to update
and revise the state's entire
criminal law code may also get
its first floor test when the Leg-
islature reconvenes.
Little opposition is expected
to these provisions weeding out
of criminal law some archaic
statutes, some of which date
back to 1846, on which the pre-
sent criminal code was built.

But a large amount of debate
is expected over a provision
that would introduce indetermi-
nate sentencing and would take
away from judges their present
power to set both minimum and
maximum terms, except in the
possibility of first and second
degree murder convictions.
Measures contained in the
criminal law bill includes:
-Retaining the judge's power
to fix a minimum and maxi-
mum term in first-degree and
second-degree murder convic-
tions of 20 years to life in the
first instance and 10 years to
life in the second;
-Permit homosexual activity
between consenting adults in
private;

-Delete adultery from the
crime list;
-Revise statutory treatment
of crimes dealing with rape,
pornography, and certain types
of theft; and
-Redefine the power of a
police officer to use deadly
force in felony arrests.
Another bill would allow any
woman, pregnant no more than
three months, to have an abor-
tion in the state if she were a
resident of the state at least
that long.
Other issues include mass
transportation, new construc-
tion codes, snowmobile ordi-
nances, and Detroit stadium
funding proposals.
