Abortion law passes
HONOLULU (UPI) — Hawaii Wednesday became the first state in the United States to legalize unrestricted abortion.
A new law permits doctors to perform abortions in hospitals as part of their regular medical practices. It went into effect at midnight without the signature of Gov. John A. Burns, a member of the Roman Catholic Church which opposes abortion.
The law makes abortion a decision between a woman and her doctor. The operation will be permitted:
- By a licensed physician.
- In a hospital licensed by the state of Hawaii or federal government.
- On women who have lived in Hawaii at least 90 days. They must sign an affidavit saying they meet the residency requirement.
Israel discussing U.S. war aid delay
By United Press International
The Israeli cabinet called a special session today to discuss the delay in President Nixon's reply to Tel Aviv's request for additional jet warplanes and arms.
Diplomatic sources said the cabinet, concerned by the latest apparent change of mood in Washington, may decide to recall its ambassador to the United States, Yitzhak Rabin, for consultations.
President Nixon said on Jan. 30 he would have a decision on the Israeli request in 30 days. Israel is said to have asked for a total of 110 new F4 Phantoms and A4 Skyhawks.
No reason has been given for the delay but informants in Washington have said the President is holding off the decision for fear of provoking the Soviets into sending more arms to the Arab world.
Diplomatic sources in London said the Soviets, too, were holding off on sending more arms to Egypt pending the outcome of the latest Big Four efforts to find a basis for settlement in the Middle East.
One Arab leader, King Hussein of Jordan, told a Swedish interviewer Monday that he was prepared to go to the Soviet Union for more weaponry if the need arises.
"The United States has knocked down what it really could do to create a just and lasting peace in our area," Hussein said. "Instead of working with the other big powers for a political solution, the United States has been delivering new arms to Israel."

Increase reported in number of births in'69
The oldest yacht club is the Royal Yacht Club, established in Ireland in 1720.
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The number of births increased in the United States last year, breaking a downward trend that began in the early 1960s, the government reported Wednesday.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare said the 2 per cent rise in the number of births was mostly due to the increase in the number of women in the childbearing ages.
The department said the birth rate rose to 17.7 births per 1,000 population in 1969, the first annual increase since 1957. But the fertility rate — births among women 15 to 44 years old—remained virtually unchanged. It was 88.5 per 1,000 women in 1968, compared to 85.7 in 1969.
Women in this age group, HEW said, are increasing rapidly as a result of the high birth rate during the late 1940s and in the decade of the 1950s.
HEW also reported the number of marriages last year continued a 10-year rise, totalling 2,146,000—the second highest annual total on record and 4 per cent higher than in 1968.
