COMMUNIST-LED FORCES have pushed farther south
into Laos than at any time since the 1962 Geneva agreements.
American air power, Central Intelligence Agency personnel and
military attaches are aiding the 70,000 army in their defensive at-
tempts.
Howver, nearly one-third of Laos' three million inhabitants are
refuges, many as a result of American bombing.
The Communist Pathet Lao insist that all American bombingr
in Laos stop before peace talks with Prince Souvanna Phouma can
begin. Souvanna has said that North Vietnam must remove its troops
-he says there are 67,000-before'U.S. bombing can cease.

A MAJOR EARTH TREMOR brought more destruction yester-
day to parts of Turkey already devastated by an earthquake
Saturday.
About 90,000 persons were left homeless by Saturday's earth-
quake, and7 the death count had reached 1,067 by last night. Officials
said yesterday's death toll would have been higher if most residents
of the area had not been 'sleeping in tents or makeshift shelters
since Saturday's quake.
Massive relief efforts continued, with blankets, food, tents and
medicine pouring in from the U.S., West Germany, Iran, Pakistan.
and the International Red Cross on behalf of many other nations.
A U.S. PHANTOM JET downed a MIG21 over North Vietnam
in the first reported "air kill" since the U.S. halted bombing raids
there17 moths-ago.
U.S. Command announced yesterday that the Phantom was
flying cover for an American reconnaissance plane, when it "took
protective action to an enemy threat . . ." and downed 'the MIG21
last Saturday, about 125 miles north of the demilitarized zone.
U.S. reconnaissance planes have continued to fly over North!
Vietnam despite the bombing halt that went into effect Nov. 1, 1968.
and several have been lost to enemy ground fire.

A HIGHJACKED JAPANESE JETLINER was ordered to take
off for North Korea early this morning.
Th order came from 4'group of leftist students, members of the
"Red Army", who are trying to take the jet with its 100 passengers to
Pyongyang, -North 'Korea's capitol.,
THE SUPREME COURT was asked yesterday to determine
whether it is illegal for a civilian to wear parts of an Army uni-
form while participating in a skit during an antiwar demonstra-
tion.
An attorney for Daniel Jan Schacht contended he was convicted
"because he dared engage in dissent to the war in Vietnam."
U.S. Solicitor General Erwin N. Griswold, on the other hand,
said a Houston, Tex., jury properly convicted Schaclt of illegally wear-
ing distinctive parts of an Army uniform during a protest demonstra-
tion Dec. 4, 1967, in front of the, Houston Induction Center. His
conviction was upheld by the 5th Circuit Court.+
Southfi1eld juge call state

Reid dismisses charges in
abortion conspiracy case
Michigan's abortion law was c a 11 e d unconstitutional
Monday by Southfield's District Judge Clarence A. Reid Jr.
Reid made the decision during a pretrial examination of
-Dr. Jesse Ketchum and his wife Judith, who had been charged
with conspiracy to perform abortions.
Reid dismissed the charges. In a ten-minute hearing, he
held that the state law "is vague and indefinite in its termi-
nology and possible applications as to constitute a denial of
due process as protected by the 14th Amendment of the Unit-
ed States Constitut on and the Michigan Constitution..."
"This court recognizes that issues raised in this matter
have far-reaching moral, theological and medical implica-

tions," Reid said. "B u t" his
court will deal only with legal
issues."
Ketchum, a Pleasant Ridge
physician, faces trial on a sim-
ilar charge in Detroit Recorder's
Court. However, his attorney said
he will now file a motion in Re-
corder's Court asking t h a t the
charge be dismissed on grounds
that the abortion law is uncon-
stitutional.
The Oakland County prosecu-
tor's office will appeal Reid's de-
cision, according to Arnold Shif-
man, chief assistant prosecutor.
The case will probably be review-
ed eventually by t h e Michigan
Supreme Court, unless there is
legislative action to nullify the
law.
Reid said due process requires
that a law use "clear, explicit and
unambiguous terminology so that
men of common intelligence may
not differ as to its meaning and
application."
But Reid held that a phrase in
the present abortion law which
permits abortion when it "shall
have been necessary to preserve
the life of such woman" can be
interpreted in a variety of/ways.
Taken individualjy the words
"necessary,""preserve" and "life"
can create uncertainty by both
judicial and dictionary definitions,
he said.
He also said the law "infringes
on the basic rights of privacy of
the woman (undergoing abor-
I tion), and the basic right of life
of the unborn person, and in-
fringes upon the right to privacy
between physician a n d patient,
without a sufficient state interest
in abridging the right of privacy
and the right of life."
In determining whether the
state law violates a woman's right
to privacy, Reid said that the issue
is whether the state has a "com-
pelling interest" relating to such
privacy."
The state's compelling interest
at the time the abortion law was
adopted, Reid said, was to protect
the woman's health. In light of
modern scientific and medical ad-
vancements, this interest Is no
longer evident, he said.
In addition to infringing on the
right of privacy in a physician-
patient relationship, the present
law "m a y violate the patient's
right to-safe and adequate medi-
cal advice and treatment," he
added.
Reid said he believes that the
unborn child "may be a person
under the Constitution, and there-
by shall not be deprived of life
without due process of law."
But the abortion, he added,
"does not provide for the taking
of life with due process."

Contract
debates to
continue
By The Associated Press
Nationwide labor problems
continued today as negotia-
tions continued on the Team-
sters Union contract, t a 1 k s
between the government and
the postal workers continued,
and airline controllers con-
tinued to stage a "sick-in."
Negotiations for 425,000 Team-
sters Union truck drivers were re-
cessed' last night without exten-
sion of their contract, which was '
due to expire at midnight.
But the union issued no Imme-
diate strike call and talks are to
resume today.
Earlier, the industry group ha;.
slightly narrowed its wage differ-
ences with the Teamsters by hik-
ing its wage offer to raises of 90
cents an hour plus other benefits
for a 3-year contract.
But the 15-cent increase in the
employers' original proposal was
still 80 cents short of the union's
demand for $1.70 an hour in wage
hikes over three years-plus in-
creased mileage pay, pensions,
health and welfare benefits and
vacations.
While the union refrained from
a formal strike threat, sources
warned that scattered walkouts
around the country culd break
out in the absence of a new con-
tract.
Meanwhile, the Nixon adminis-
tration made a "new and uncon-
ditional wage offer" to union
negotiators in a renewed effort to
achieve wage increase agree-
ment for the nation's 750,000 post-
al workers.
The announcement came after
government and union officials
'completed their fifth day ofin
tensive bargaining for a settle-
ment of postal issues, of which
pay has become the most impor-
tant topic. Another session was
set for this afternoon.
A joint statement noted that
after Postmaster General Winton
Blount laid the latest admninstra-
tion offer on the bargaining table,
union representatives countered
Iwith a three-point proposal of,
their own.
In the airports, the "sick-in" by
air controllers continued, despite
urging by union leaders for the
controllers to return to work \un-
less they actually were sick.
