The implications of the ruling are still unclear, according to legal experts and local medical officials interviewed yesterday by The Daily. Attorney Jean King, active in abortion reform organizations, was "delighted" by the decision, though she said the states can still pass forms of abortion leg- islation. According to King, the state could require the father's con- sent or may be able to draft legislation to protect the fetus. i"We'll have to sit 'and study. the opinion for quite awhile. Even if a state adds a provision for the father's consent is added, there's a good chance that it could be overturned as a re- quirement for abortions during the first three months of preg- nancy," she said. Though a woman must have her doctor's consent, the deci- sion, however, virtually legalizes abortions on demand. "It'll be very easy to find doctors that'll approve it," King said. According to King, anti-abor- tion groups are planning to press for a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortions. John Steele, a member of the campus anti-abortion Students in Defense of Life, said, "It threw us for a loop at first. But it's just another thing we'll have to work with. Supreme Court de- cisions have been reversed. If people know the risks involved in abortion and the fact that it's a human life, we believe a lot of people will come around." The organization is affiliated with the National Youth Pro-Life Coalition. Though the group has "no plan High Court ruling favors liberalized abortion law (Continued from Page 1) Rehnquist said he felt the court was stretching the right of priv- acy to an impermissible extent. White wrote, "The court appar- ently values the convenience of the pregnant mother more than the continued existence and de- velopment of the life or potential life which she carries." The court did not deal with the question of the father's consent for an abortion. Reaction to the decision was predictable. Abortion supporters were pleased and abortion foes were angered . The Women's National Abor- tion Action Coalition called the de- cision a significant victory for the abortion rights movement through- out the world.' In Philadelphia, Cardinal John Fuel crisis may hit 'U' (Continued from Page 1) -Rescheduling evening classes to close the otherwise unused buildings; and. -Possibly closing some struc- tures completely. However, Jack Weidenbach, di- rector of physical properties and plant extensions, cautions that "if the suppliers who supply us oil deliver it, then the crisis is not going to have any effect." Weidenbach said that interested parties were meeting this week to discuss the problem. Meanwhile, students are urged to lower their room temperatures and keep windows closed, and to use less hot water and lights. But if worse comes to worst, there may be a few frigid weeks ahead. As one person asked The Daily yesterday, "Can you guys type with your mittens on?" Krol, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement the decision "is an unspeakable tragedy for the nation." The ruling touched off a dispute among legislators in Arizona. Rep. D. Lee Jones said, "Like everything else, people's ideas change." "People's ideas change, but God's don't," countered Rep. James Cooper. Meanwhile in Michigan State House Speaker William Ryan said the legislature will have to work on new abortion laws to regulate abortions after the three-month period. "I really don't know how far we'll go with it," Ryan said. "We're going to have to have dis- cussions with both sides on this. It may be that the pro-side is con- tent enough with this ruling and will agree to restrictions after three months." Ryan has consistently opposed abortion liberalization in the leg- islature. Maurice Reizen, the state's Pub- lic Health Director, said the De- partment of Public Health may ask the governor for emergency power to promulgate abortion reg- ulations.. He said he feels the public must be protected from a possible "pro- liferation of abortion mills." The department already has a comprehensive set of guidelines covering legalized abortion which was set to go. into effect if the abortion referendum passed at the polls last Nov. 7. When the refer- endum was defeated, the rules were shelved. of attack right now, we'll con- tinue with our problem pregnan- cy counseling and wait to see the national organization's plan," said Steele. According to a University Hos- pital spokesman, the ruling "is not expected to have any signifi- cant immediate influence" on hospital policy. "Routine abortions would bet- ter be referred to an independent not-yet-operational community family planning agency which would act as a referral service. The hospital does not have suf- ficient facilities at the present time to divert to the demand for routine abortions," according to J. Robert Willson, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynocology. The hospital would continue to limit abortions to complicated problem cases (including dia- betic mothers or women who are apt to have complications result- ing from an abortion). When asked if the hospital would refuse a request from a staff physician to perform a routine abortion, a hospital spokesman said he did not think a routine abortion would be re- fused, but hospital policy would be limited, for the most part, to complicated cases. The Regents rejected at their December meeting a motion to buy the University Motel and lease it to a family planning or- ganization. Before the abortion referendum failed in November, the organization planned to set up a community abortion service. According to Allan Smith, vice president for academic affairs, the Regents' refusal "was not related to the failure of the ref- erendum, but to the question of whether the University is in the landlord business or the educa- tion business. I doubt that the question will be revitalized now." John Comiskey, administrator of St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital, said, "We'll have to see the de- cision and have our attorney go over it." St. Joseph's is run by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church has opposed abortion re- form and worked for the defeat of the state abortion referendum last November. Health Service Director Rob- ert Anderson said, "We would find it impossible to handle abortions with the facilities we have. I would like to see the stu- dent needs handled in a com- munity service." The Health Service operates a problem pregnancy referral service. Spokespersons for other local referral agencies, includ- ing the Women's Crisis Center and the Office of Religious Af- fairs (ORA) said yesterday they will revise their abortion referral policies. Though both groups in the past referred women to other states for abortions, spokesper- sons said they will, in wake of the ruling, investigate state clinics as they open. U1 1Cd1 1 AI.L .

Meanwhile, Vice President Spiro Agnew led the initial national mourning from the nation's cap- ital following the stunning news of Johnson's death, talling him a man of courage and integrity. "President Johnson's death . comes as a severe shock. His strength and vitality, his liveliness Johnson dead at age 64 (Continued from Page 1) 37-year political career in a dra- matic but abortive attempt to halt the war. "I shall not seek-and will not accept - the nomination of my party for anotherterm as your President," he said on March 31, 1968 in a statement that sent shock-waves through the nation. At the same time, he an- nounced a halt in the bombing of most of North Vietnam and ask- ed for a peace-making response from Hanoi. His unexpected statement led to Vietnam peace talks in Paris. It also exposed the Democratic Party to a fierce fight for a new presidential candidate, a fight which ended with the election of Republican Richard Nixon as President. Johnson said he endured the "horrors of hell" as President. Order Your Subscription Today 764-0558 He said he was always vulner- able as President to "make the mistake of involving the world in war." In fact, he said the happiest political job he ever had was as Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. Many Americans regarded the ex-President as a tragic figure even though his landslide victory over Arizona Senator Barry Gold- water in 1964 gave him a ma- jority of 15 million popular votes, largest in American history.

Of all the Pres- idents, he has done the most do- mestically. I am saddened by his loss." House Speaker Carl Albert, an- other longtime congressional asso- ciate of the 36th President, was described by aides as "very, very upset" at the news. "The country has lost a great political leader, a dedicated Ameri- can and I have lost a friend, the memory of whose friendship I will forever hold close." In spite of the statements of sorrow from political foes, former Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortasa said he could not avoid feeling "deep and bitter resentment" atI the hostile critics of Johnson. Fortas, one of Johnson's closest friends and the man Johnson tried unsuccessfully to name as chief justice, said "This is a man who contributed more to his country than any living person . "I cannot avoid at this moment feeling deep and bitter resentment of those who were so hostile and sharp in their criticism of him." The thought that Johnson'shrepu- tation will be praised by history ran through other reactions, in- cluding that from the Senate's sen- ior Republican, George Aiken of Vermont. "History will be very good to him," Aiken said. "That's true be- cause of the work he did here in the United States and even though the war in Vietnam went tempo- rarily against him."
