Kansas to Examine Abortion Law
10PEKA (AP)—Kansas officials generally agreed Monday that the state's abortion law was in basic conformity with a U.S. Supreme Court decision, but that a closer reading of the opinion might reveal the necessity of technical amendments.
"The Kansas law basically conforms, based on our superficial knowledge of what the Supreme Court ruled," said Aty. Gen. McCormick, who only seen news accounts of the opinion.
"As to what regulatory procedures we can require, that will probably depend on our interpretation of the opinion once we see it." Miller said. "Certainly, the state will have some authority to control that type of activity, as we do now."
Vincent De Course, lobbyist for the Kansas Catholic Conference, withheld comment until he could study the opinion. He later admitted that he would support Kansas might have to modify its law. De Course also said he felt there should be provision in the law to exempt those professional people who object to abortions on religious grounds from performance of the law.
Senate and the House have bills before them to either modify or repeal the Kansas abortion law, which was liberalized when the president's present criminal code took effect in 1970.
"The KANSS LAW appears to be in compliance." Sen. Robert F. Bennett, R-Overland Park, president pro tem, said, "but if the legislature wanted to, it probably could impose some additional restrictions on abortions. It is conceivable that some of these restrictions in our law are first three months of pregnancy in unreasonable."
Tillotson said he had no specific plans yet on how the committee would handle those bills, but commented, "I don't think we can get away without a bearing on it."
LAST SESSION the Senate Judiciary
Committee held an emotionally-charged hearing on making possible changes in the abortion law, but no bill came to a vote on the floor of the Senate to actually change it.
Persons representing the Kansas "right to life" organization, appeared and a few were highly critical of former Sen. Steadman Ball regarding his conduct of the hearing. Ball would not tolerate any outbursts, and made witnesses confide discussion to possible modifications of the law not its repeal.
Rep. John Peterson, R-Topeka, chairman of the House Public Health and Welfare Committee, which has the abortion bills in the House, said he would delay any hearings until he had received and studied the Supreme Court decision.
"My intention in drafting a bill was to write a law that was constitutional, and that it would be an instrument for the state."
SEN. DAN BROMLEY, D-Achison, who has introduced a bill to repeal the abortion law, said he still expected his proposal to be aired by the legislature.
Asked if he was disappointed by the Supreme Court ruling, Bromley replied, "Nothing shocks me nowadays. No ruling of the Supreme Court surprises me any more. I think it indicates an inability to see the thing clearly."
Sen. Bob Talkington, R-Iola, vice chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, noted that the Supreme Court ruling referred to three month intervals at which different requirements might be imposed, while other cases may be restricted, the first six months but in final three stringent regulations in the final three months of pregnancy.
"THERE IS NO such timetable in Kansas

or physical health of the mother or child, or pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
The K-maa law originally required three physicians to concur in an opinion that an individual with a medical condition
Also, the abortions had to be performed in "accredited hospitals."
However, a 1972 federal district court decision held that only one doctor need approve the abortion and they could be performed in any state-licensed hospital. Sen. Jack Steinberg, D-Kansas City, said the abortion was much more than a moral issue.
"It another significant step, it seems to me, toward centralization of government—pre-empting another area traditionally reserved for the states," Steiner said.
"I guess what the court is saying is you can't regulate abortions on the basis of public policy, but you can on the basis of privacy," the court is saying it is not a moral question.
Charter Jet Crashes In Nigeria; Kills 180
"It's a very broad, new extension of constitutional rights, which should be very clear."
KANO, Nigeria (AP)—A chartered jetliner carrying 202慕斯 home from a pilgrimage to Mecca crashed and burned on the runaway of Kano's airport Monday while coming in for a landing in a fog. Officials think they thought 180 persons had been killed.
The crash here was the 11th in little over a year in which 100 or more persons were killed in various parts of the world. The one previous to this was the crash of an Eastern Air Lines jet in the Florida Everglades on Dec. 30, which cost 101 lives.
They reported 30 survived but all of them are severely burned. The plane had a crew of 14.

Airlines burst into flames as it touched
the runway on Friday.
THIS WOULD make the crash the world's deadliest air disaster involving a single aircraft. Oc= hundred seventy-six persons V= aircraft Aeroflot jet近N Moscow last Oct. 13.
The pilot was identified by a Royal Jordanian spokesman in Arman as Capt. John Waterman, an American whose wife and children live in Beirut, Lebanon. The spokesman said the airline had been informed that he and the seven other crewmembers were among the survivors.
THE FOUR-ENGINE plane had flown about 2,100 miles from Jidda, near Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. Mecca is the Moslems' highest place.
Kano airport officials said visibility was about 1,500 feet when the Jordanian plane crashed.
OFFICIALS SAID the aircraft had been scheduled to fly to Lagos, Nigeria's capital about 730 miles to the southwest, but was diverted to Kano because of foul weather.
Thousands of Nigerians also "packed to the airport and many wailed and shouted with grief for the dead, most of whom were believed to be Nigerians.

South Viet Forces Suffer Big Losses on Plantation
SAIGON (AP)-North Vietnamese troops have inflicted heavy losses on South Vietnamese forces in the Micheln rubber plantation northwest of Saigon.
Fighting has raged there for several days despite talk of an early cease-fire in the war.
A senior military official called the fighting the biggest single battle in the Saigon region since An Loc was attacked last spring.
Military sources reported government casualties in the operation between Jan. 13 and Jan. 20 as 80 killed, 245 wounded and at least 40 missing.
As reports from the battle area were put together Monday, there were strong indications that two South Vietnamese battalions were decimated and relief forces were systematically ambushed as they moved forward.
A SOUTH VIETNAMESE battalion normally has 200-250 men. The size of the relief forces was not reported, but the total of 365 casualties was severe for the units
Allied sources said South Vietnamese forward headquarters lost radio contact with the two battalions trapped in the rubber groves Thursday, the day before some of the worst fighting against the enemy division.
The battle took place in what was once the biggest rubber plantation in South Vietnam. It has been the scene of many big battles involving South Vietnamese and American forces.
For years, the French-owned plantation

travelers.
SOUTH VIETNAMESE commanders, after a series of hastily called meetings, rejected a Viet Cong offer made Sunday to send unarmed ambulance helicopters to pick up 150 of the South Vietnamese wounded during a battle to have air strikes in the area called off, giving the enemy time to withdraw or regroup.
Rep. Glover Drafts Marijuana Bill
The bills were among 23 introduced in the House.
TOPEKA (AP)-Bills to legalize marijuana and to impose a 2 per cent severance tax on natural gas were in support of the lawsuit by Ben. Michael Glover, D-Lawrence.
The severance bill will exempt the first 1.50 million cubic feet of gas produced in any one month from any one well. With this exemption, it is estimated the tax would produce about $2.20 million a year in revenue.
The marijuana bill carries out Glover's long announced intention to introduce a measure to make the possession and use of marijuana legal.
They said they expected that deadline to be enforced, and indicated there would be a delay.
BOTH PRESIDENT pro tem Robert Bennett and House Speaker Peter McCill reminded their bodies to a 5 p.m. Monday deadline for individual legislators to get their requested bills to the bill-drafting department to have them drawn up.
The legislature pursued its leadership's announced goal of making it a state history. The House and the Senate gave preliminary approval to 11 bills and received 31 new ones.
They said they expected that deadline to be extended and allocated there would be no extension.
Committees still will be able to have bills drafted for introduction. In addition to Glover's bills, the House received a bill to enact a system of no-fault automobile insurance as proposed by Fletcher Bell, state insurance commissioner.
The House Insurance Committee introduced the no-fault proposal as a committee bill. The plan strikes a "middle ground" between a plan offered by an interim legislative study committee and a full-blown no-fault plan introduced by Ser.
REP. EARL WARD, R-Mission Hills, chairman of the insurance committee, said a subcommittee would study the plans offered by Bell and the interim committee and make a comparison before his committee makes a decision.
The new Senate bills included ones to make Topeka the permanent site of state inaugurations, establish a new corridor in the state freeway system running northward through the U.S. 11 route, and establish a unified school district for Pawnee Rock, Kan.
The Senate passed a House bill repealing the authorization for the city of Emporia and Lyons County to consolidate their law enforcement agencies. Voters of the area had resoundingly defeated a referendum on the matter last November.
Four other bills given tentative Senate approval were all minor.
THE REPEALER, if given final Senate approval Tuesday as expected, should be the first bill to reach Gov. Robert Docking's committee session. The House had already passed it.
The House gave tentative approval to six bills, including one to increase the amount of money a candidate for the legislature can spend out of his own pocket. The limit would become $1,500 for a S-net candidate and $1,000 for a House candidate, compared with the present limit of $500 for candidates f., both bodies.
Also approved in the House were bills to keep poll agents from getting within three feet of an election machine, voting booth or county table; bar use of titles by candidates or other party officials; set minimum vote standards for the election of precinct committeemen and women.

Carriers would have gained $77,000 by eliminating youth reservation discounts and $2,028,000 by removing family fares in 1971. The overall impact of removal of promotional fares would have been a loss of $48,269,000 by the carriers.
RUSSELL LEHRMAN, president of Continental Marketing Corporation, said that CRADF's purpose was to inform travelers that they could lose fare reductions of between 25 and 33 per cent and to provide a means for those opposed to the elimination of discounts to express themselves.
Huntington said Congress exercised this power several years ago, reversing a CAB ruling that parents, brothers and sisters were not part of the immediate family of a carrier employee and therefore were not entitled to free transportation. Congress could also specify that parents, brothers and sisters were part of the immediate family.
Advertisements containing tear-out letters to be signed by readers and sent to CRADF are being placed in college newspapers. Later plans call for members of the National Student Lobby to contact the Commission to try to recruit one Democrat and one Republican from each committee to sponsor legislation to block the CAB action.
--would proclaim 1974 as the year for celebrating the centennial of the introduction of Turkey Red hard winter wheat into Kansas. Rep. Walter W. Grabber, D-Pretty Prairie, the sponsor, said the variety was the first prairie to receive the breadbasket of the world."
HUNTINGTON SAID that legislative action could block CAB's effort to revamp air fares. By amending the 1958 Federal Aviation Act to say that discount fares are not discriminatory, Congress can remove from CAB's argument against the discounts.
CRADF member George Jonte said recently that the lobby had the support of three major airlines, TWA, United and Eastern. The airlines are helping by furnishing transportation to CRADF members, he said.
Paving Decision Expected
The Lawrence City Commission plans to finalize a proposal for a sidewalk installation project in West Lawrence. A decision on the placement of sidewalks on the Lawrence River will be commission to resolve before the scheduled public hearing on the project in February.

The project, which $o^{2-n}$ initiated last October during a series of city staff and community meetings, consists of an extensive sidewalk network in the area bounded by 19th Street, Louisiana Street, 23rd Street, and Iowa Street.
Visit Planned By Committee Of Legislators
Rep. Eugene Anderson, D-Wichita, introduced a bill to require a 90-day residency for women seeking abortions in Kansas, and to permit an abortion only if necessary to preserve the life of the mother or if the pregnancy occurs as a result of rape or incest.
The commission has scheduled a public hearing on the project for p.2.m., Feb. 15.
The members of the Ways and Means committees of both houses of the Kansas Legislature will visit the University of Kansas campus this afternoon.
According to John Conard, director of University Relations, the legislators will arrive at approximately 5:30 p.m., take a bus tour of the campus, have dinner at the Ramada Inn and attend the KU-K-State game.
Conard said that the new hospital building, Wesoe Hall and the completed geological survey building would be highlighted during the bus tour.

The Commissioners voted last week to place the sidewalk on the east side of Naismith Drive, but later rescinded the decision.
The agenda also includes:
The visit to the campus by the committee members is an annual event, but Conard said that the prosecute this year would offer from that used in the past.
"In the past, the members arrived earlier and were given a lengthy talk concerning the budget situation of the University." Conard said. "This year, because of time and the generosity of the governor in his budget recommendations, the chancellor will only give a brief speech at the Ramada Inn during dinner."

Intelligence reports have shown recently a large enemy buildup in the jungled regions northwest of Saigon, apparently in preparation for another offensive.
It was in an effort to beat such a drive that the South Vietnamese launched their campaign. Similar spoiling operations are common in other countries, but little information is available about them.
