...with Poats, 44, when he was chief of AID for the Far East and overseer of the crash program to bolster South Viet Nam's chaotic economy during the herculean U.S. buildup in 1965-66. After Bayh learned that AID officials had bought galvanized steel from Korea for quick shipment to Viet Nam, he lambasted Poats and insisted that AID purchase primarily U.S. steel. Though the Senator comes up for re-election next year in a state that has a large steel industry, he claimed his opposition to Poats was based purely on his belief that Poats had bungled...

Regan's 34 points -- on 22 goals and 12 assists -- placed him second to Ince in team scoring. A quick, aggressive shooter, Ince -- starting out with 11 goals in his first two games -- ended up with 50 points on 30 goals and 20 assists.
