Police finger print experts have positively identified a mutilated body found in Lake Michigan as that of missing 15-year-old Judith Mae Andersen. The girl, who disappeared 10 days ago, had been shot in the head and her butchered corpse stuffed into two oil drums. Her torso and legs were found in a drum floating in a Lake Michi gan harbor last Thursday. Her head and arms were found float ing in another oil container Sat urday. The identification, from a fin gerprint taken from a religious picture in Judith Mae's home, shattered the family's hopes that the girl might still be alive. Deputy Chief of Detectives Howard Pierson informed the girl's father, Ralph Andersen of the identification Sunday night, climaxing seven hours of pain staking research by Oscar Benke, bureau of identification technician. Authorities continued a house-to-house search of the Ander sen's middle class West Side neighborhood, concentrating on workshops, garages and filling stations where oil drums are lo cated. Medical authorities estimated Judith Mae had been dead two to three days before her torso was found. That left a gap, of from one to three days between the time she disappeared Aug. 16 and the discovery of the body. Authorities speculated she may have been kidnaped and held prisoner for a time before being shot by a small caliber pis tol and her body dismembered.

Edward D. How ard, archbishop of Portland. The chancery office here said the new edict, which goes into force Sept. 1 when it will be read in masses in Catholic churches throughout the three states, will affect an estimated 322,000 church members.

The edict, officials said, was the result of a recent provincial council session earlier this sum mer in Portland.
