MOTHER TERESA PLANS MISSION IN ROMANIA

Mother Teresa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her care of the derelict in India, said Thursday she will open a mission in Bucharest.

The house of the Sisters of Charity will be established in Bucharest under the supervision of Roman Catholic Archbishop Ioan Robu, Mother Teresa said.

The 79-year-old missionary said she felt much better after heart surgery last fall "because the whole world prayed for me." She said she planned to visit several orphanages during her stay.
