Feminist Leader Warns of Rift Over Carter Cabinet Picks
Washington AP A national feminist leader says the romance between the women’s movement and President elect Carter is cooling. Karen DeCrow of NOW warns that Dunlop’s possible labor secretary post could trigger open conflict with the new administration, citing his opposition to affirmative action and past labor tensions. DeCrow recounts Carter’s 1974 San Jose talk and says Cabinet posts for women or sympathetic figures are top priorities, while she doubts Carter’s lists.

Gilmore Extends Hunger Strike Over Call Refusal
Gilmore continues the hunger strike begun November 19 after being denied a telephone call to Mrs Barrett who was involuntarily committed to Utah State Hospital after regaining consciousness from a drug overdose. The appeal backed by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund challenges the state's handling of Gilmore's competence and cites his previous attempt on death as evidence of mental illness.

Rhodesian Gunman Kills Three Missionaries in Ambush
Rebels and militants continue attacks as a gunman in camouflage killed a 71-year-old retired bishop Adolph Schmitt, Father Possenti Weggarten, and Sister Maria Francis near Lupani. A nun survived after describing the robber’s demand for money before firing. Meanwhile a Southern Railway train derailed near Culpeper, injuring about 25 passengers. The Rhodesian church condemned the violence as bishops urged Geneva negotiators to prioritize welfare over party interests. The death toll for white civilians reached 61 in four years, with black civilians totaling 611 dead.
