(AP) — The world’s fourth heart transplant patient, Miss Kasperak, was able to sit up and dangle her legs over the edge of her bed at Stanford Medical Centre today, doctors said. They outlined the extensive treatment she received. The 20-year-old student’s condition had been considered satisfactory until Monday, when internal bleeding developed. Physicians said no piece of blood were transfused. Kasperak, who has been described as having been a heavy smoker, suffered from liver and lung troubles as well as the heart trouble.

The highway plowing started shortly before midnight when a pickup truck slid off a sharp curve five miles east of Hope and ended up in a snowbank. The driver of a car following the pickup stopped to see if he could help, and also slid off the road. The car driver, Robert Alexander, 16, of Burnaby, flipped down the windshield to help, but when the huge truck tried to stop it jackknifed across the highway, pinning the two stalled vehicles together. Behind them, a bus tried to avoid the collision and came to a stop right across the road. The bus was stopped on the highway, and the bus passengers had to spend the night in the snow, and passengers from two other buses which were turned back by the barrier also had to stay overnight. --- Sixteen Escape Gallows OTTAWA (CP) — Sixteen escaped murderers have escaped the gallows as a result of a cabinet decision to commute all remaining death sentences in Canada in the imprisonment.

(CP) — The lunar exploration program today appeared to have taken a major step forward thanks to the successful moon-bullseye landing of the Surveyor VII on the moon. Normally meaning a dangerous rock, the spacecraft settled down gently on the moon Tuesday night and televised the wild, red scene not found by U.S. lunar probes. Surveys of the 3rd French lunar landing were planned that the last of the scheduled, automated American lunar probes landed in terrain “far different” from areas in which the previous successful Surveyors landed. Surveyor program manager Benjamin M. Sacks of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said: “It is very clearly a different terrain. I think we’ll be a major step up in our understanding of the moon from the information gathered by Surveyor VII.” Previous Surveyors landed in relatively smooth lunar “seas” with little difference in terrain. The three-legged craft had of a $200,000,000 series, which has already certified four equatorial sites at sites for subsequent landings, was on a purely scientific mission to the 13,000-foot crater Tycho, near the north-central edge of it, lunar disc. Surveyor VII made an almost perfect landing on a cratered plain, but the lander’s “teeth” were not sharp enough to penetrate the lunar soil. Between the craft and the moon was a definite stone, reminiscent of the crater. Underwater photographs earlier by lunar orbiters.

(CP) — A recorded account of the shooting of nine members of one family was heard Tuesday as the Crown completed its evidence in the murder trial of 21-year-old Hoffman. The recorded voice was that of the 21-year-old Hoffman, charged with intentional murder in the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. James Peterson of Shell Lake, Sask., found dead last Aug. 11. Seven of their children were also slain but no charges were laid in their deaths. Capt. F. A. Garroway of the RCMP said Hoffman made the recording voluntarily. It was made in the RCMP North Battleford jurisdiction, headquarters the night of Aug. 11, shortly after Hoffman was picked up at the family farm 20 miles southeast of the Peterson farm. The recording, similar to the statement admissible at evidence, was not admissible
