Song written about Korean plane SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (AP) ? A song by an American Catholic priest asking the Soviet "big red bear" why it acted like "men from Mars" in shooting down a South Korean airliner is soon to be released in English and Korean. i ne song asKs: wno is caning an tne snots r i Know tones like me it's not. Probably just a few new czars, acting like they're men from Mars." The Rev. Raymond Sullivan, a missionary, said the song, "Big Red Bear," was recorded by a Philippine group called The Travellers Three at the Oaisis Record Co. in Seoul and will be released on tape cassettes. The Korean Air Lines 747 jumbo jet carrying 269 people was shot down Sept. 1 by Soviet fighters. All aboard are presumed lost. The chorus of the song says: "Hey, hey, big red bear. Do you really think it's fair? Shooting children in the air, shooting children in the air." "We think a great many people feel the same way we do about this tragedy," Sullivan said. "We hope some will like our song and join us in singing it." /\ spoicesman ror uasis saia ncnner aunivan nor i ne Travellers were being paid for "such voluntary work." The company plans to give away some of the initial 15,000 tapes to an international travel agents convention to be held in Seoul later this month, said the spokesman, who asked not to be named. Alligator meat good for diet BATON ROUGE, LA. (AP) ? A newly tested low-fat, high-protein meat could be the answer to a dieter's prayer. But don't look for it in your neighborhood supermarket. Instead, try your neighborhood swamp. Alligator meat contains only about 1 percent fat. Beef can run as high as 25 percent; pork, 20 percent; and chicken, 6 percent, according to Dr. Stanley Biede, professor of food science at Louisiana State University. "Alligator is also as high in protein as the more traditional meats such as beef and poultry, and higher in calcium and potassium," said Biede, who recently analyzed the meat from nine 'gators. However, it is not for all dieters, he said. "For some reason ? probably diet-related ? the meat is also higher in salt, which makes it less desirable for dieters with blood pressure problems," he said. Biede said the alligators, provided by the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, weighed 26 to 154 pounds, with 44 to 68 percent of that meat. He analyzed meat from the right hind leg, lower torso, tail and lower jaw. Alligator flesh looks like pork or chicken, he said, and "is a wholesome and non-gamey-tasting food that adapts to just about any meat recipe." fiathRrinn held at unusual lake WEBSTER, MASS. (AP) ? By the shores of Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagagochaubunagungamaugg.the Nipmucks gathered with the Nicmacs and the Naragansetts, to sing and give thanks for the harvest. I-ntertribal unity was the theme for the Nipmucks' third annual powwow attended over the weekend by more than 3,000 people, including representatives of more than 50 Indian tribes trom New England, Canada, the Dakotas and Arizona. The 49-letter lake name is the longest geographical name listed in U.S. atlases. It means "the boundary fishing places, the neutral meeting grounds," and, according to Indian lore, has served as a tribal gathering place for centuries before whites settled in central Massachusetts. cancer. 1 |n n n n-r not knowing hi ' ' RISKS YOUR :' cfUUFi GREATEST RISK.

Dick Riley said he would be willing to call the General Assembly back in special session to consider Senate reapportionment. But he said such a decision would hinge on how quickly the legislature could reach a compromise. And that, Riley added, :ould be "a very difficult thing to determine." The state NAACP has given the lawmakers six weeks to pass a Senate redistricting plan. Bill Gibson, the group's president, said Friday if the General Assembly failed to meet the deadline, the NAACP will file suit to have the federal courts take over the job. Riley told The State that if he knew the Senate and the r t *j __ ... - ? i . . riouse couia come 10 i^oiumoia ana agree on a reapportionment plan within a day or two, he probably wouldn't hesitate to call them to work. "I think you would have to start with a unanimous agreement on a plan from the conference committee," Riley said. "Then if the leadership would seem to think that a plan would Gromyko cancels trip to MOSCOW (AP) ? Soviet Foreign Americans, to theii Minister Andrei A.

The panel is to reconvene Wednesday to look at the plan again. Committee chairman Marion Gressette, D-Calhoun, has said the panel probably will not have a proposal ready for full General Assembly review before the scheduled January start of the 1984 legislative session. But to meet the NAACP deadline, action will have to come more swiftly. The way Gibson views it, "to wait until January would be the same thing as not doing anything at all." Riley said he is worried about the possibility of filibusters extending a special reapportionment session indefinitely. "I think the House, because of the rules change, might not be that much of a problem," he said. "But this could really drag out with filibusters in the Senate." U.N.
