Heavy "Sighting, spearheaded by tanks, pushes a Cong force back across the Cambodian border. FRENCH ELECTIONS Voters in France pick a new National Assembly and early indications assure continued control by President DeGaulle. DeGaulle's campaign stressed stability at home before foreign politics. He thus remains undisputed master of France, through 1972. MADRID SERVICE For the first time in the history of Spain, Catholics and Jews pray together at the church of Santa Maria. The joint services mark the passage of a new law giving non-Catholic denominations religious freedom throughout the country. SHOW-A-RAMA In Kansas City, "Show-A-Rama," sponsored by the United Motion Picture Assoc., awards actor Don Knotts its "Family Favorite" citation, pointing out his performance in "The Reluctant Astronaut." The meeting forecasts fine films for Spring and Summer. BLACK BAG STUDENT At Oregon State College, an unidentified student attends class covered, head-to-toe, in a huge black bag. He says his idea is to test acceptance by fellow-students of something that is outside their daily "Basically structured lives."

He laps the entire field, winning in three minutes, fifty-eight and eight-tenths seconds, fastest indoor mile of the year!

Originally a Scottish Winter sport, these teams from the Canadian provinces, both ladies and men, prove they're expert at the tricky slide-and-sweep competition.
