Youth receives eye injections MOSCOW (AP) Todd Cantrell, the 12-year-old Georgia boy being treated here for a rare eye disease, may have to return to Moscow for additional treatments late next year, his mother said today.

The boy, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, can see only during daylight hours and may face total blindness. Doctors in the United States say they cannot treat the disease, and some U.S. doctors say the Soviet treatment which involves injecting ground-up fungi into the retina is without medical value. Betty Cantrell, who accompanied her son here last weekend, said doctors at the Hemholtz Institute are going 'to try to stabilize his vision" during the current round of treatment, now expected to end Dec. 4.

Also surviving are five nieces and a nephew. stressed that "other democratic countries" should also contribute if they wanted to see a "non-Khmer Rouge government" replace the current regime in Phnom Penh. Rajaratnam's remarks and a press statement issued by Singapore's embassy here marked the first time that a member of the noncommunist Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has publicly expressed willingness to aid Cambodian resistance groups militarily. Up to now, the only significant military aid has come from China, and it has benefited mostly the Khmer Rouge, whose brutal, 3V2-year rule of Cambodia from 1975 to 1978 caused most countries to shun contact with it.

The noncommunist nations of ASEAN would like to see the Vietnamese out of Cambodia, but have been reluctant to provide weapons to the Khmer Rouge. Rajaratnam indicated that ASEAN would solicit military aid for the noncommunist Cambodian groups from Western countries, including the United States. (A U.S. source in Washington said there are no plans to provide any such assistance.) A Western diplomat here said Rajaratnam's remarks signaled "an obvious turning point," but that it was not yet clear whether Singapore's position was endorsed by the other four members of ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Explaining his written statement, which calls for a coalition to exert "military pressure" on Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia, Rajaratnam said the other ASEAN countries have given Singapore "a mandate to pursue a coalition government." Sin NASHVILLE (AP) Clara Webb Butcher, the mother of country music stars Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle, has died in Park View Hospital of heart failure.

police blotter Clyde W. E. Whitmore told police three guns were stolen from his unlocked pickup truck on Royal Street at Highland Avenue overnight. Taken" were a blue steel pistol with a six-inch barrel, a blue steel pistol with a four-inch barrel and a 12-gauge double-barrel Stevenson shotgun. A 17-year-old boy was arrested about 2 a.m.

today after he allegedly tried to break into Powell's Auto Sales at 774 Airways police said. A man told officers he heard a noise at the rear of the business and upon investigating saw two persons run from the business, get into a car and speed away. He described the two he saw running and the car. Police said they located a car matching the description given by the witness and stopped the auto on Emmet Street. The car was driven by the juvenile, who matched the description of one of the two persons the witness saw run, police added.

Officers said a tire tool which contained fresh scratch marks and paint specks was found in the front seat of the auto. Ricky Carter said two wire-rim wheel covers valued at $100 each were stolen off his car at the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital Tuesday. James Crowe of Jackson said his 1978 brown Ford pickup truck with a Jackson man hurt when trucks collide Thomas Eugene Hanks, 29, of 60 Chester Levee Road, was listed in good condition this morning at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital following a traffic accident Tuesday. Jackson police said Hanks was southbound in a pickup truck on the U.S. 45 bypass about 11 a.m.

and collided with a tractor-trailer truck driven by William D. Western of 31 Primrose Drive. Western was eastbound on Old Hickory Boulevard and turning left to go north on the bypass, police said. Western was not reported injured. The Washington Post BANGKOK, Thailand A top Singaporean official Tuesday announced plans to form a unified Cambodian resistance movement and said Singapore would provide arms to the movement if its three factions can form a coalition government-in-exile.

Sinnathamby Rajaratnam, Singapore's deputy prime minister in charge of foreign affairs, said at a news conference here that leaders of the communist Khmer Rouge, and two noncom- Students helped cover up rder of 1 4-yea r-old gapore is currently chairman of ASEAN. The Singaporean's statements coincided with preparations by the leader of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front, former Cambodian Prime Minister Son Sann, for a fund-raising tour of Western countries. Adding to the flurry of activity, Sihanouk has summoned his representative in Bangkok, In Tam, to France for consultations. Although his Moulinaka guerrilla group is the smallest of the three resistance factions, Sihanouk is considered the one indispensible figure in any coalition because of his international standing and his relative popularity in Cambodia. Press reports from France, where Sihanouk now lives, quoted him as saying last week he would not participate in a communist-dominated exile government, but that he had asked his advisers to examine the proposal for a three-way coalition, including Son Sarin's group and the Khmer Rouge.

Western diplomats have been puzzled about why Thailand and Singapore have been pushing a coalition so hard lately. One said they may have decided that now is the time to apply more military pressure on Vietnam. Certainly, Rajaratnam stressed in his airport news conference Tuesday before leaving Bangkok that since Son Sann and Sihanouk were "not members of any government," it was difficult to aid them "legally." He added, "but once they are in a government, we can give aid. We can give arms as we do to any Asked if Singapore itself would give arms aid, Rajaratnam said, "We'll have to." munist groups the Khmer People's National Liberation Front and a group led by former Cambodian head of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk had accepted a Singaporean unity proposal stating that each faction would retain its identity in an exile government. Rajaratnam said Singapore would be willing to provide arms aid to the noncommunist elements in the coalition, which would try to overthrow the Vietnamese-backed government that has ruled Cambodia since 1978.

He messed up. I just couldn't believe it." Police finally were notified of the partially clad body in a ravine near a reservoir by an 18-year-old auto worker who had gone to the site with friends from the school. Anthony J. Broussard, 16, ex-boyfriend of Miss Conrad, was arrested for investigation of murder Nov. 5, nearly 48 hours after police say the girl died.

The county coroner's office said she was and an autopsy was; being performed to determine if she had been sexually assault-ed. i Sheriffs Sgt. Gary Meeker said several students told police Broussard had bragged about the slaying and offered to show friends the girl's body. 1 According to Icely; one student co-; vered the corpse with leaves so it could not be seen from the road, and others threw rocks at it. MILPITAS, Calif.

(AP) Officials and some of the students at Milpitas High School reacted with shock and revulsion to reports that more than a dozen of their classmates were shown the body of a murdered girl but failed to report it to police. "It kind of makes me feel ashamed to go to Milpitas High," said senior Maria King. "We were disgusted that nobody reported it." "This is causing our campus a tre- -mendous amount of grief," said Principal Charles Perotti. "An awful lot of kids are upset. And teachers are upset, too." Milpitas Police Sgt.

Ron Icely said 13 students who saw the body of 14-year-old Marcy Renee Conrad were cold and callous about the incident "Their prime objective was to cover up for their friend," said Icely; "They showed no remorse at all for the girl. These kids got their priorities.
