Tuesday, February 18, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Meany MIAMI BEACH /P) -- AFL- ; of our CIO President George Meany sincet called yesterday for a $30 bil- going lion tax cut, saying the $20 bil- Meany lion program swiftly gaining "TH ground in Congress will not be by the enough to turn the economy have t around. S to giv A month ago, a '22 billion get t tax cut "looked like a pretty around good tax program, but the size A $ of the problem and the enormity approv calls dilemma has increased then and I think we're to need much more," said. INGS ARE getting worse day. I think it might o go as high as $30 billion e the incentive that will he economy t u r n e d d," he said. 20.1 billion tax package ved earlier by the House for tax cut Ways and Means Committee - $4 billion more than proposed by President Ford-is expected to go to the full House this week when it returns from its Lincoln Day recess. At a news conference, Meany reiterated his prediction of a' week ago that the unemploy- ment rate will hit 10 per cent by July and said this is inevit- able no matter what action Con- Ethiopian leaders ask U.S. for additional military aid ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (M) - Ethiopia's military leaders have asked the United States for up to $30 million in ammu- nition to fight secessionist guer- rillas in Eritrea province, relia- ble Ethiopian sources said yes- terday. Theemergency airlift sought by the leaders would replace rifledand machine-gun bullets already used in combating the Arab - backed guerrillas, the sources said. THE DOLLAR value of the re- quest is a third greater than all U. S. military aid and sales to Ethiopia in 1974. The U. S. government put its aid program under review and, in effect, suspended it last No- vember after the military coun- cil shot 60 former government leaders without trial. Those killed included the military chairman, Gen. Aman Andom. The sources said the United States faced a difficult choice: supply. the ammunition and be- come involved against Arab states with whom it seeks a Middle East settlement, or not supply the ammunition and riskI a break in relations with Ethio- pia. THE SOURCES said the United States has not replied to the request, which was made last week. Both U. S. and Ethiopian officials in Addis Ababa declined to comment, and there was no immediate reaction from the Pentagon. On the fighting front, uncon- firmed reports said government troops killed 700 out of 1,000 prisoners Friday shortly after they staged successful, guer- rilla - aided breakouts at two Eritrean jails. The reports said paratroop- ers caught up with the fleeing prisoners north of Asmara, the Eritrean capital. Another ver- sion said Eritreans among the escapees gunned down non-Eri- treans in the group, and were in turn shot by government forces. ETHIOPIAN SOURCES. said the secessionist guerrillas are being reinforced with men and artillery before an expected resumption of their assault on Asmara, 450 miles north of Ad- dis Ababa. The sources said the guerril- las were obtaining for the first time through a clandestine sup- ply route from Sudan artillery to counter heavy guns of the 2nd Army Division in Asmara. They said the guerrillas camped around the city were being in- creased to 7,500 men from 6,000. gress takes. THE JOBLESS RATE hit a post-World War II peak of 8.2 per cent in January, with 7.5 million workers unable to find jobs. "I'm very pessimistic about the whole situation," Meany said. He added: "We're get- ting into the vicious cycle we had during the days of the Great Depression." Workers are beginning to ex- haust their unemployment in- surance benefits and once that hap pens, he warned, they no longer will able to make con- sumer purchases or pay off their mortgages. "WE NEED JOBS," the head1 of the 13 million - member la- bor federation said. He urged the Ford administration to re- lease impounded funds and provide for government - fund- ed housing with a return to 6 per cent mortgage interest rates. Meany said this would revive the housing industry. He also said a moratorium may be needed on mortgage payments to help the unem- ployed, noting that in Califor- nia alone foreclosures are pend- ing against 3,000 homeowners. Meany's news conference fol- lowed the start of the winter meeting of the AFL-CIO's poli- cy - making executive council. AMONG A NUMBER of reso- lutions adopted by the council was one calling for reform of the unemployment compensa- tion system.

Convicted obstetrician advocates abortions BOSTON (P) - Dr. Kenneth Edelin, the Boston obstetrician convicted of manslaughter dur- ing a legal abortion, said yes- terday he will continue to per- form abortions if permitted to do so. "I have not done anything which was illegal," Edelin said. 'I will continue to do abortions. They are a woman's right and it is better if they are done in a hospital setting by someone who is trained." ONE OF EDELIN'S attor- neys, Frank Susman of St. Louis, said meanwhile the doc- tor's appeal to the Massachu- setts Supreme Court will ar- gue that evidence did not sup- port the verdict. Susman said racism and the alleged use of racial slurs by jurors also will be part of the appeal. He said the fact that Edelin is black may have been a major factor in the verdict by the all-white jury. Edelin was convicted Satur- day in Suffolk Superior Court after a six-week trial. He was accused of killing a 20-to-24- week-old fetus during a legal abortion at a Boston City hos- pital.

SUSMAN S A I D. testimony showed Edelin was acting with- in guidelines set by the U. S. Supreme Court two years ago when it permitted abortion in the first six months of preg- nancy. An alternate juror, Michael Ciano, 32, of East Boston, said in interviews that racial slurs, such as "the nigger is guilty as sin," were made through- out the trial by members of the jury in the privacy of the jury room. John Kelly, who said he was the lone holdout juror against convicting Edelin at the be- ginning of deliberations, said t h e r e was "some small amount" of racial epithets heard among the jurors. "BUT NOT IN any way con- nected with Dr. Edelin or any of the issues of the trial," Kelly said. "I cannot answer for them unconsciously, but consciously I do not believe that race played a part." Edelin said his medical fu- ture is up to the state Board of Registration in Medicine and officials at his hospital. Dr. Bancroft Wheeler, the reg- istration board chairman, said' it is too early to say when the - - - - - - -- --A ~A~ ~ I board will consider the Edelin case. "THE BOARD MAY wait un- til the appeal is carried out," he said. Francis Guiney, exec- utive director of the city Health a n d Hospitals Department which runs the hospital in which the abortion was per- formed, said trustees would re- view the Edelinscase "in the immediate future" to decide the doctor's position at the hospital. Physicians and other leaders in, the medical field argued, weanwhile,dthe verdict may have been guided by emotion and said it should not scare doc- tors away from performing abortions in the future. But right-to-life groups de- clared it a victory for those who respect "the dignity of human life" and said doctors must be more careful in the future.
