Judge blasts Cabell Trial Technicality in habeas case
Huntington AP A Cabell County circuit judge criticized a defendant pleading guilty to kidnapping and then seeking release on a technicality. Randall Pyles, 18, argues his 10 to 20 year sentence is improper and should be void, with judge Dunbar granting time to consider reindictment or a new sentence while saying he will follow the law.

East Pakistan crisis drives U S display of force and talks
The United States learned after India launched a full scale attack in East Pakistan that the Soviet Union warned regional powers against intervention. President Nixon ordered elements of the 7th Fleet to sail toward the Bay of Bengal to show resolve while India refused assurances. If Soviets hadn’t restrained India the president would have canceled Moscow talks. Separately, WWVA Jamboree plans a special holiday broadcast from the West Virginia Penitentiary, a first from the century old prison.
