Japan Delays
Plane Changes
TOKYO (UPI) - Japan’s
defense agency has decided on
a one-year postponement of the
introduction of U.S.-made F15
fighters scheduled for 1981 due
to fiscal problems, agency
sources reported today.
The agency had planned to
deploy 123 F15 fighters
beginning in April, 1981, as its
next mainstay aircraft,
replacing F4 Phantom jets now
in service.
The sources said the agency’s
plan to seek budgetary ap-
propriations starting in 1977
met objection from other
ministries on grounds it is too
late to incorporate the finan-
cing for the F15 fighters in the
next fiscal budget.
The agency has chosen the
F15 eagle of Mcdonnell-
Douglas Aircraft Corp. over
two other American com-
petitors as the next mainstay
fighter for Japan’s air defense.
The F15 is said to cost $26
million each.

At Wit's End
By Erma Bombeck
I went shopping for dolls yesterday with my
neighbor, Lorraine, and was I in for a shock. The
toy industry has never heard of the Pill. There were
dolls isitting around talking, laughing, crawling,
walking, crying, burping, slobbering and filling their
diapers.
“I cannot believe this," I gasped. “I used to
get choked up when my doll’s eyes closed.”
"It’s a whole new ballgame,” she said tiredly.
“See this one? It has a battery-operated mouth.”
“Don’t all children?”
“It also comes with packets of food that you
mix and feed with a spoon. An hour or so later, you
have to change the diaper.”
“If you know this, why would you feed it in
the first place?”
"Did you catch the brother doll that is anatomi-
cally correct in every detail?”
We both squinted for a closer look and started
at one another numbly. Finally, I said, “That’s
pathetic.”
“Well,” she snapped, "what did you expect for
$5.95?”
“Do you know what I think?” I observed. “I
don’t think there’s any need for women to go through
all the business of having babies anymore. In fact,
I’d think twice before I even took on the responsi-
bility of a doll.”
"I know what you’re saying,” she nodded.
“Last year, we took on two baby dolls, three teen-
age dolls and a bionic woman. We’re in hock up to
our eyeballs. The diaper service runs us $22 a
month, the special food $32, and the batteries $18.
One of our teenage dolls split. Got her own apart-
ment and . . .”
“She got married?” I asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” she mumbled.
“Then the bionic woman was desperate for a bionic
beauty salon.” Seeing my disbelief, she added, “She
can’t go to an ordinary shop, you know. She has
to have read-outs and tests on her bionic ears.”
I never had a doll with ears until after I was
married.”
“We’ve been plagued by trouble,” she sniffed.
“G. I. Joe became a civilian and and needed an en-
tire new wardrobe, Cher became pregnant, and the
Sunshine Family went through an ugly divorce. And
I hate to tell you what happened to Stretch Arm-
strong. He’s the muscle doll made of rubber who
stretches to four feet. His arm got sucked up in the
sweeper t.nd now it looks like a tow rope. Frankly,
I’m worried about myself. Yesterday, I did a bad
thing. I took the batteries out of Little Bubbles.”
“What’s a mother for?” I said softly.
