Spanish Jet Crashes; 155 Persons Die
SANTA CRUZ DT ENTERIFIER, Canary islands (AP) - A chartered Spanish jetliner carrying a group of German tourists crashed shortly after takeoff from this resort island Sunday killing all 155 persons on board.
It was the worst crash in Spanish civil aviation history and the seventh time this year that more than 100 persons died in a single-plane crash.
The four-engine Convair 990A Coronado belonged to the Spanish charter airline Spantax and had 148 passengers and a crew of seven.
All the passengers were German, 73 men and 75 women, and the crew was Spanish, 82 men.
The plane took off normally from Los Rodeses airport on its way to Munich, but when it reached 1,000 feet, one engine burst into flames. airport officials said.
The plane plunged to the ground between the civilian and military airports on this island in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Africa.
Rescue squads quickly reached the burned plane but found only one survivor, a woman. She died shortly after being admitted to a hospital.
The passengers on the flight were part of a Bavarian bus operators' federation that had been vacationing on the Spanish island. They had arrived at Santa Cruz on Saturday after a cruise from Casablanca, Morocco, aboard a Greek ship.
The plane was plotted by Capt. Daniel Hanley had six years' service with Snantax.

The bodies of all the German victims were put in coffins to be flown to Munich.
The number of dead made the crash the fourth worst single crash in the world. The worst aviation disaster on record is the crash of a Soviet Ilyushin jet airliner in October near Moscow in which all 176 persons on board were killed.
BSU Blasts White Racism
Two University of Kansas black student leaders urged blacks at a rally Friday to stand together against "white oppression and racism."
Mickey Dean, Sandersville, Ga., junior and president of the Black Student Union (BSU), and Ron Washington, acting Director of the Supportive Educational Services (SES), spoke to the predominantly black crowd of 300 in front of Strong Hall.
The rally, a memorial for two black students killed at Southern University Nov. 17, followed a march from the Kansas City campus and the march were sponsored by the BSU.
Dean said the killings on the Baton Rouge campus were more than just isolated incidents. He said they were part of a political movement in Louisiana. States which is "racist and immoral."
The rally, which was called at the request of black student groups at Southern U., would let people of Lawrence know what blacks are thinking, Dean said.
"Too many people think blacks in Lawrence don't care anymore about what's going on," Dean said. "They think just because we haven't been out in the streets since 1970 that we don't care about our brothers and sisters, but they're wrong."
Dean pointed to the size of the crowd at the rally as an indication of the concern blacks have for their situation. He said that some people expected the rally than some people expected.
Both Dean and Washington stressed the importance of a strong BSU and SES on the KU campus. They accused the administration of not liking BSU and SES and wanted to crush them by varied means, including giving the organizations enough money.
Washington said BSU was the organization which had accomplished the most for blacks at KU and if it was eliminated, blacks would be in trouble.
Washington spoke to the crowd on the present situation of blacks in America and around the world. He charged that the president was white superiority and repression of blacks.
"America is red from its red neck down to its feet and so it's as big as it' s big white."
Washington told the group that blacks must adopt a new policy of solidarity.
“Our policy is that an injury to one is an injury to all,” he said.
"The rest of the country, as well as Lawrence, is big blue country cause we are all in love."
Dean urged that those present at the rally keep informing others about the black situation.
North Viets Demand Unity; Talks Resume
SAIGON (AP)—On the eve of resumed peace talks in Paris, North Vietnam issued a position statement asserting that all of the UN members had standing an end to U.S. influence in the South.
The statement was issued Sunday as an editorial in the official newspaper *Nanbian* Dan.
It accused the United States of disregarding a pledge to respect the Vietnamese people's right to self-determination and advanced its version of this right, which it likened to "the principal pillars of a house."
" only one of these pillars is pulled down, the entire house will collapse," the woman said.
It also called the Saigon government's insistence on North Vietnamese troop withdrawals insistent, and added: "To satisfy the demands of the war, I aminal the agreement, and prolong the war."
THE EDITORIAL asserted that the Washington-Hanoi draft agreement on a cease-fire announced last month was made public in a letter to the U.S. senate namingese people's sacred inviolable national rights and the South Vietnamese people's right to determination which the U.S. side had endorsed.
"The United States must end its military involvement and intervention in South Vietnam. We should declare and went on to say that to restore peace, the United States must adhere to the law."
"The South Vietnamese people shall decide their political future themselves democratically, general elections; the United States committed to any political tendency nor to any personality in South Vietnam, nor does it seek to impose a pro-American govern-
"OUR PEOPLE'S rights to democratic freedom will be ensured; an administrative structure called the National Council of National Reconciliation and Concord of three equal segments will be set up; the national army will be sent out step by step through peaceful recess."
The Vietnamese words expressing administrative structure impLIED a government. The concept of the council's role and the wording of that concept have been sticking points in negotiations since the Vietnam War. The Washington emissions not a government but a body whose powers would be limited to arranging elections.
Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixon's top
foreign affairs adviser, returned to Paris Sunday night to resume private negotiations with the North Vietnamese on a Vietnam cease-fire.
KISSINGER MADE no statement on the substance of the talks he will have with the Hanoi Pollinator member who has been his opposite in secret meetings during the talks.
Kissinger held his last meeting with Tho on Nov. 25 and at that time it was agreed they would meet today for their 22nd session.
Immediately before leaving Washington, Kissinger had two long telephone talks with
President Nixon, who was at the Florida White House at Key Biscayne. The President plans to maintain direct contact with Kissinger during the talks.
More than five weeks have passed since Kissinger said "peace is at land." During the past week pressure seemed to have weakened in South Korea, allowing of South Vietnam to accept a cease-fire.
Dispatches from Saigon have indicated that the South Vietnamese government may now be resigned to seeing a cease-fire agreement signed and that Premier Tran Phuong hold Cabinet members and high-level department heads to prepare for this eventuality.
Apollo Lift-Off Hinges On Aerospace Strike
BULLETIN
The Boeing Co. and 60 aircraft workers reached agreement on a contract Sunday night and erased the possibility of a strike by the pilots. The plane planned launch of Apollo 17 to the moon.
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP)-Sikh aerospace workers extended Sunday a bargaining deadline until midnight and a federal mediator expressed optimism as intense negotiations continued to avert a strike that delayed the Apollo 17 launch Wednesday.
"I still feel very optimistic that we will avert a stoppage," said mediator William A. Hose as negotiations recessed until the day. "My hop is that we can settle tonight."
Sunday morning, the nounion workers, who are represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees will set a p 4.9 m.CST deadline for a settlement.
At that time they said they would vote on the latest offer by the Boeing Co. If it were rejected, they said they would begin picketing.
BUT AFTER an hour-long bargaining session in the room, LATSE extended the offer to seven hours.
After a two-hour meeting Sunday night, the workers were summoned to a meeting to discuss a new Boeing offer, and another negotiating session was set for 11:30 p.m.

AFTER THE all-night session, mediator Rose said: "There was progress during the night, I'm anxious to get it wound up. I'm hopeful for an agreement."
The space agency said they executed high acceleration maneuvers to adapt to the gravity forces they would undergo when the Saturn 5 rocket lifts off.

council, but she said that the council had never backed a single candidate for a lawmaker.
The policy council of the Kansas Women's Political Caucus, meeting in Lawrence Saturday, strongly rejected the endorsement of a single candidate for the vacant seat on the Kansas Board of Regents.
Carol Cline, Shawnee, chairwoman of the council, said Graves would be among those charged with the case.
The Lawrence chapter of the statewide Caucus had endorsed Karen Graves, 36, of Salina, for the regent position in a letter to Docking Nov. 20. It had been speculated that the policy council might endorse Graves also.
The council voted instead to urge Gov. Docking to select any qualified woman for the post and then to submit a list of six to 10 candidates to the governor.
The council thought that they should not make any demands upon the governor,
It was at that time that IATSE announced the 4 p.m. deadline.
"We are blowing the whistle on the negotiations," said JATSE attorney Bernard Mamet. "We have been meeting all through the night, and no settlement has been reached yet. We will continue to meet, but not for long."
Cline said the council thought that to endorse a single candidate would hurt the chances of a woman being placed on the Board of Regents, since the governor might interpret the single endorsement as pressure to appoint a particular person.
"Anyone has the right to recommend a candidate," she said.
While the labor controversy continued, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Harrison H. Schmitt and Ronald E. Evans T38 jet planes for the second straight day.
"Our job is not to say. You must appoint a woman," said Ruth Rubb, a member of the council from Clay Center. "Our job is to supply a list of qualified candidates."
Cline stressed that the policy council was not critical of the action taken by the Lawmaker.
All of the members of the Lawrence chapter submitted names of possible candidates to recommend to the governor that Harper was chosen from that group, Harper said.
NANCY HARPER, 73 Mississippi St., a member of the Lawrence chapter of the Caucus, said Sunday she was not disap- pared. The council did not specifically erase Graves
The letter to Docking, which was drafted at the meeting, was signed by all 16 members of the policy council, representing the five legislative districts in the state.
If a settlement was not reached by 4 p.m., Mamet said, a strike vote would be taken and, if the decision is to strike, pickets could immediately at gates to Cape Kennedy.
Harper said the Lawrence group was concerned that Docking might appoint a successor to the Regent seat of the late Thomas Griffith of Manhattan soon, and wanted to make a recommendation immediately.
The documentation workers are not essential to the launching, but the space agency said the possibility of other unions honoring picket lines was the main concern:
MAMET REPORTED Saturday that agreement had been reached in such fringe areas as layoff notices, overtime, health and working conditions, but that disagreement remained on the major issue—wages.
The workers originally sought a discontinuance of 30 to 50 per cent pay cuts received when Boeing took over a space center support services contract last year, but they said they would compromise. Negotiations began last April.
Boeing and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have filed charged against IATSE with the National Labor Relations Board.
Boeing charged the union with bargaining in bad faith, and NASA requested a restraining order on grounds that a strike would be a secondary bovett.
The secondary boycott claim is based on a NASA charge that the Boeing workers have threatened to stop the launching of Apollo 17 mission. The government agreement would cost NASA $11.3 million.
Abortion Laws Still Plague Legislators, Counselors
For many pregnant women the decision to abort an unwanted pregnancy is a stressful and difficult one, and states across the world are finding legislation just as difficult.
Abortion legislation is still a subject of controversy around the nation, and different state abortion laws vary in degrees of strictness.
A change in the Kansas statute on abortion came about earlier this year. The abortion originally required a woman to obtain a prescription for an accredited mission was granted by an accredited hospital for abortion. This was changed by a district court decision. The change provided the consent of the attending physician and it was necessary for a therapeutic abortion.
According to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Administrator Charles Denston, the law in Lawrence Memorial has been changed to require a medical abortion therefore possible to obtain an abortion at
The average price range for hospital costs for this operation is $175 to $200 for a one day and one night, the average stay for a therapeutic abortion patient, said Deniston. This price does not, however, cover the doctor's fee for performing the operation or for this operation at Lawrence Memorial can be between $400 and $500.

SUSAN LOMISKA, an abortion counselor who works through the Women's Center at KU, said that New York had the highest rates of abortions in the States. She estimates that a woman referred to a New York clinic for a therapeutic abortion can expect to pay about $250 for the operation and plane fare and $25 for the pays a stand-by rate for the plane fare
Lominska said that she was doing research on the cost of going to Washington, but she doesn't want it.
immediately available legally, she said,
that the total cost might be about $225.
She added that in Wisconsin the abortion law was being contested, and that it now was possible to get an abortion immediately there.
California and Hawaii are two other
countries, Lominska, where it is possible to
catch a dolphin.
Some states allow abortions, Lominska said, after interviews with the hospital board. Lominska said she thought this procedure seidum was worthwhile, because it took time, was expensive and harassing for the woman.
IN THE PAST Lominska usually has referred women coming to her to a clinic in Kansas City. There they usually can get an aid immediately for about $15 if they are students.
She said, though, that as of last week she had stopped referring women to this clinic if they could afford to go elsewhere, because she had been dissatisfied with the services
being provided by this Kansas City clinic
almost always gives therapeutic
abortion.
Lominska said that in this Kansas City clinic, the doctor who performed surgery performed as many as 50 abortions a day on weekdays. She said that Saturday, assisted by two osteopaths, he performed approximately 80 abortions. He also said that she would be able to provide binary prizes for the abortion according to the patient's financial status.
"We have a good, clean clinic here and we supply good medical coverage." Patrick
THESE PRACTICES have influenced her to begin a boycott of this clinic when it closed.
Patrick said that the clinic tried to two doctors performing surgery on weekdays and had had as many as four on duty Saturdays. She said that the doctors performed an average of 30 abortions on weekdays and 50 to 60 on Saturns.
Janet Patrick, director of the abortion clinic referred to by Lominska, said that she was not aware of the boycott and could not understand the reasons for a boycott.
She also said that the average cost asked for abortions was $150 at the clinic.
IN LAWRENCE and the Kansas City area, as in other parts of the country, abortion referral agencies and counseling services have been established to aid women with problems that legislation cannot cover.
In Lawrence women who need abortion counseling can reach a counselor by calling Headquarters or the Information Center, and in Boston, the Information Center would call her on another line and connect her with the woman before she hung up. An appointment could then be made to meet at the Women's Center. If an appointment is needed, she tries to meet with women within a day.
Abortion counseling, both at a Kansas City clinic to which she refers for patients
abortions directly before the abortion and at the referral agencies attempts to heighten the woman's awareness of the abortion and her own emotional status concerning it.
THE COUNSELORS try to make sure the woman is aware of alternatives to abortion, such as marriage, having the baby and placing it up for adoption or rearing the child as a single parent. They attempt to discover the circumstances surrounding the woman's pregnancy in order to gauge and guide the counseling session.
Because of the emotional stress suffered by some women before and after abortions, the counselors say they think it is necessary for women to be open-minded and undergoing on abortion.
Has a woman been pressured into abortion by family, friends or the man involved; what is her relationship with the man involved how does she feel about this?
