Treasure hunt
At least for a short time, the streets -of Ann Arbor may
indeed be paved with gold. The gold, which in this case comes
in the form of bills and coins, was thrown from a speeding
car by robbers who were being hotly pursued by the police
yesterday. The crooks were apprehended but approximately
$1500 of the stolen money was said to have blown off the road
just south of the city on I-94. Treasure hunters may have
competition, however, as a dozen policemen were also out look-
ing for the stray loot.

Typically British
The British have always been known as a particularly re-
served people, but at times that reserve becomes a bit ex-
cessive. The City Council of Luton, England, yesterday banned
a tiddlywink marathon that was to be held in town to raise
money for hospitals. "We don't like disappointing these young-
sters," said councilor James Carlten, "but we eckon that
tiddlywinking could cause nasty accidents along crowded pave-
ments."
Newsmen nixed
The United States is apparently not the only country where
things are getting tough for newsmen. In Egypt yesterday Pres-
ident Anwar Sadat cracked down on dissident members of his
Arab Socialist Union who he accused of stirring up trouble
among students. Of the 89 people purged halt were journalists.
The rest were writers, actors and several party officials. For
the newsmen the move meant an automatic loss of jobs.
Stars part
Another Hollywood romance looks like its on the proverbial
rocks. British television personality David Frost and actress
Diahann Carroll called off their engagement yesterday after a
two-year relationship. The two parted on a cordial note, how-
ever, and plan to continue work on a film called "Fever Grass"
that Frost is producing and Carroll is starring in.
Dixie blues
Northerners who long to head down South to escape the
misery of winter might want to change their plans as the worst
snowstorm of the century hit the heart of Dixie yesterday. Over
a foot of snow fell in cities from Georgia to Alabama and state
troopers reported that traffic on 1-75 was backed up for over
50 miles.

By DAN BIDDLE
It was too cold to spend much time outside yesterday, but that
didn't discourage the Ann Arbor Lettuce Boycott from picketing the
A&P store at Division and Huron.
Between 25 and 50 boycott supporters marched, sang, and distrib-
uted leaflets at the supermarket's entrance for nearly eight hours,
demanding that A&P sell only union-grown lettuce, and encouraging
customers to shop elsewhere.
The picketing effort is part of a nationwide drive to boycott non-
union iceberg lettuce, led by the United Farm Workers (UFW/AFL-
CIO) and UFW President Cesar Chavez.
The bc!cott is aimed at forcing West Coast produce firms to sign
UFW contracts requiring wage and work standards for some three
million farm laborers, whose average annual income now stands at

Sometime late tonight, 142 American POWs
are scheduled to be released by their Communist
captors in North and South Vietnam.
From Hanoi and An Loc, 60 miles north of Sai-
gon, the prisoners will be flown to Clark Air Force
Base in the Philippines and their first limited
contact with American life. They will be the
first Americans to be released under the terms
of last month's cease-fire agreement.
Included on the list of those to be released are
eight civilians and the first American airman to
be captured by the North Vietnamese. Lieut.
Comm. Everett Alvarez of Santa Clara, Calif. will
be coming home after 8% years in captivity.
As preparations for the release continued yes-
terday, Presidential envoy and world. traveler
Henry Kissinger was conferring with North Viet-
namege leaders in Hanoi.
Kissinger met for 4 hours to discuss possible
American aid programs and Hanoi's future rela-
tions with the United States.
President Nixon has mentioned the possibility
of $2.5 billion in aid being given to the North
Vietnamese, though that sum was not included in
the Presidential budget before Congress.
Kissinger and his party were guests of honor
later at a dinner given by Le Duc Tho, with
whom he negotiated the Vietnamese cearefire ac-
cords.
The Presidential security advisor is to remain
in Hanoi until Tuesday, when he will fly to Pe-
king to confer with Chinese leaders.
While the talks were underway in Hanoi, fight-
ing raged in Laos, still without a ceasefire agree-
ment. However, rumors are circulating that a
cease in hostilities is imminent, and Hanoi radio
claimed yesterday that talks between Laotian
factions would begin Tuesday.
Government officials in Vientiane were report-

MED CENTER MEETING:
Forum held to discuss

regulation c
By MARILYN RILEY
The recent Supreme Court ruling that allowed
women to have an abortion without hindrance
in the first three months of pregnancy has left
many legal, medical, and public health officials
in a quandary.
Serious questions remain about what can be
done legally to protect the health of women who
seek abortions.

He pointed out that although the state has
control over the conditions in hospitals and the
licensing of doctors, "I don't think the department
has the muscle to license a "free standing
abortion facility not connected with the hos-
pital."
The only other possibility of control is through
a civil suit on the part of a patient who suffers
physical or emotional damage due to a doctor's
actions.
Thus conditions in the free standing clinic-the
type of anesthesia used, the availability of coun-
seling, the use of laboratory testing-are left to
those who run the clinnic.
Joan Mulligan, of the Michigan Nurses Asso-
ciation, said that while barbers and swimming
pool facilities must be licensed, "the state finds

discussed with Kissinger the question
sof a guarantee that the estimated
65,000 North Vietnamese troops in
Laos would be withdrawn after a
ceasefire.
In advance of a possible peace,
North Vietnamese-led troops of the
Pathet Lao were renorted trying
to seize the town of Thakhet, about
150 miles southeast of Vientiane,
in hopes of severing Highway 23,
the main north-south road- artery.
This would effectively cut Las in
half.
Thakhet has been rocketed sev-
eral times in the past two weeks.
While Kissinger was off to yet
another world capital, Vice-presi-
dent Spiro Agnew returned from
his own eight-nation Asian sojourn.
Agnew told President Nixon that
on his trip, he found "a desire on
the part of all to help make the
peace a lasting one" in Indochina.
Nixon said that the Vice-presi-
dent's mission played a "very im-
portant purpose at this point in
terms of building a structure of
peace in Indochina and all of
Southeast Asia."
While the two were meeting,
Presidential Press Secretary Ron-
ald Zeigler told newsmen that Ag-
new was briefing Nixon on "his
conversations with leaders of the
capitals he visited."

By LOIS EITZEN
In 1900, about one in every 100 American mothers
died during childbirth. Most of the blame fell on the
shoulder of American midwives, described at the time
as "hopelessly dirty, ignorant, and incompetent."
Now midwifery is coining back - but with a differ-

The first nurse-midwife in Michigan, Margaret Craig,
R. N., will soon be delivering babies at 'U' Hospital.
A Certified Nurse-Midwife, Craig deals only with nor-
mal cases, and is trained to identify problem pregnan-
cies and refer them to an obstetrician.
Unlike "granny midwives", she says, nurse-mid-
wives are "professionally trained, backed by an or-
ganization, and legally sanctioned."
As a nurse-midwife, Craig says, she spends a great

"The advantage of being a nurse-midwife," she says,
"is that I can relate woman to woman with the pa-
tient. I pay a lot of attention to communication, mak-
ing sure that we understand each other."
Many doctors at 'U' Hospital allow the mother to be
awake during the entire delivery, with as little medica-
tion as possible, Craig says, adding that she often sees
the father in the labor room as well.
Craig says she would like to see more research done
on the possibility of childbirth in an upright position.
"Primitive females squat when they give birth," she
explains. "Here women deliver flat on their backs, so
they have little use of their abdominal muscles."
She adds that many women have a natural urge to
sit up during labor.
