NOTES:
1.  WELL DONE TO RICH
        The following message from CINCPACFLT is quoted below:
    "YOUR SHARP SHOOTING, IN SUPPORT OF THE 24TH AND 26TH POPULAR
    FORCE PLATOONS NEAR MY LAI ON THE NIGHT OF 27 NOVEMBER IS
    NOTED WITH PLEASURE.
    YOU HAVE MY ADMIRATION FOR YOUR OBVIOUSLY HIGH DEGREE OF TRAINING
    AND PROFESSIONELISM.  WELL DONE.  ADMIRAL B.A. CLAREY USN,
    COMMANDER IN CHIEF U.S. PACIFIC FLEET"

2.  RE- ARM TODAY
        The ship expects to replenish ammunition sometime today.  It
won't be as big a job as the last time, but it will take all hands.
in order to do the job properly and quickly.
        Everyone pitch in, do their part, and get the job finished.

3.  STATE INCOME TAXES
        Members of the Armed Forces, like all U.S. citizens, are
subject to state income taxes unless the state laws specifically exempt them
from all or part of the tax liabilities while in the service.  Failure
to pay taxes in the state in which you have a domicile or legal
residence can result in a fine and or imprisonment.

        Your situation is unique in that a serviceman can, by meeting
certain state requirements, use any one state as a domicile.  However,
once established a legal residence or domicile continues even if you
live elsewhere legally changed.  The standard rule for setting up a
new legal residence is physical presence, abandonment of the old domicile
and intent to stay in the new domicile, all being met concurrently.

        Remember, you have a right to pay taxes in one state alone.

Cape Kennedy,  is their water on the moon?  Scientists doubt it.
but if there is, the Apollo 17 astronauts may find it.
    The pilots of the final Apollo expedition are carrying two new
instruments that will map the subsurface structure on the moon and
detect water or ice layers if they are there.
    "Now, nobody expects that we will see water as a distinct
horizon or ice or something like that." said Apollo 17 astronaut-
geologist Harrison H. "JAOK" Schmidt.  "To say that we won't find
water in some other form by other means would be premature also.
    All evidence returned from the previous five Apollo landing
missions shows that the moon is and apparently always has been
unusualy dry, both on the surface and beneath the crust.
    The two new scientific instruments aboard Apollo 17 were not
designed specifically to spot underground water, but if it is
there, it should show up.
    One experiment is a radar sounder aboard the Apollo 17 command
ship.  As it orbits the moon, the sounder will beam radar waves
that will penetrate to as much as three-quarters of a mile into
the moon to produce a map of subsurface layers.  Water, ice or
mineral deposita would show up clearly.
    The other instrument is a surface experiment that will use
radio waves to probe the upper mile or so of the moon.  The
instrument has never been used before and is is designed to look
for layering in rocks and solis at the Apollo landing site.  If
subsurface water exists there, it should be detected.

SEX:

    An inmate at Grateriord State Prison won the right today to
take into court his complaint that seven years is prision without
sexual relations with a womat was crule and unusual punishment.
    U.S. District Judge John Morgan Davis approved the petition
of Mackey R. Choice, 44, to have a public defender to have handle
the case in federal court.
    Choice said he has been deprived uf his "Human Right of
Conjugal relations with a woman", since a 1965 conviction for
aggravated robbery and burglary.  He is serving a 10 to 20
year sentence at the Montgomery County Prison.
    Choice said that he has been reduced to the "Animal" Level
of envisaging committing and act of carnal knowledge with  a
Homosexual"

HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA:

    The State Legislature Wednesday called on the wives of
servicement missing in action in Vietnam to be faithful.
    The legislature passed and sent to the governor a bill
providing that a wife be disinherited if she remarries before
her husband is found or declared dead.  The final vote in the
Senate was 45-0.
    The bill also disinherits any child born more than nine months
after the women's husbnad is declared missing.
    In either case, the estate would be handed over to the
soldiers relatives

BELFAST, NORTHERN ISLAND:

    Two men shot and killed a your going home in a taxi and shot
the driver in the arm and leg today.
    Police said the two men has asked the youth at a taxi office
if they could share his cab and the youth agreed.  On the journey
the two men asked the driver to stop using the pretence one was
going to be sick.  They got out and then shot the youth in head
and wounded the driver.
    The death brought the northern Ireland and three-year old fatality
roll to 645.
    Army source said today collaborators in Algeria or Lebanon
probably supplied the Soviet-made anti-tak rockets used by the Irish
Republican Army in recent attacke in Northern Irleland.
