FUNDS FOR AID TO POOR WOMEN:
House r
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House
rejected yesterday a Senate-proposed
compromise on guidelines governing
when the government should pay for
poor women's abortions.
Instead, the members moved toward
adopting a temporary funding
resolution that would insure that the
3%-month dispute would not lead to
payless pay days for thousands of
federal employees.
THE ABORTION disagreement has
delayed passage of a $60.2 billion ap-
propriations bill which is supposed to
provide funds for the departments of
Labor and Health, Education and
Welfare along with some smaller,
related agencies.
The Senate developed the proposal
after conferees from both sides failed to
agree on, what abortion policy
guidelines to recommend to Congress.
BULLETIN
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A circuit
court jury last night acquitted Fran-
cine Hughes by reason of insanity on
charges that she killed the ex-husband
who had beaten her.
The jury of 10 women and two men
returned the verdict in the first-degree
murder trial after 61/ hours of
deliberation.
Hughes testified during the trial that
she suffered years of beatings until one
night last March when she poured
gasoline around the bed where her ex-
husband slept and set the area afire.

Cuba blames the CIA for the
bombing attack on an Air Cubana jet
that crashed off Barbados on Oct. 6
last year, killing all 73 persons
aboard.
"They, were not millionaires, not
rich tourists," Alarcon Quesada said.
"They were working people .. as-
sassinated in cold blood."
THREE international treaties
against hijacking have been drawn
up during the past 14 years, but only
about half of the 149 U.N. members
have signed and ratified those con-
ventions.
The resolution also called upon the
International Civil Aviation Organ-
ization, which sponsored the meet-
ings in the Hague, Tokyo and
Montreal in 1963, 1970 and 1971, to
"undertake urgently further efforts"
to improve enforcement of those
treaties.

In an unusual move, the senators
used two separate roll call votes to
come up with a proposal they thought
the House would accept. The second
time, only one word was changed.
THE HOUSE rejected it, 193 to 172.
Earlier, House Speaker Thomas
O'Neill told reporters that should the
Senate proposal be rejected, the
leadership would offer a continuing
resolution which would insure funding
temporarily for the agencies.
Funding for the agencies covered by
the bill first ran out on Sept. 30, when
fiscal 1977 ended. Congress passed a
continuing resolution on Oct. 13, sup-
plying operating money until Oct. 31.

BUT THAT RESOLUTION also has
expired, leaving the agencies
technically without funds. They. have
curbed administrative spending for
supplies, travel and overtime because
of the problem, although the gover-
nment continues to make benefits
payments for the poor, the unemployed
and others.
The controversy is over guidelines for
the use of federal funds from Medicaid
and social services programs to pay for
abortions.
The Senate took the position that the
government should pay for abortions in
instances where a woman would suffer
" evere or long-lasting physical health
ro osal
damage," where a woman's life would
be endangered by a full-term pregnan-
cy and in cases of rape or incest.
THIS PROPOSAL would also permit
abortion payments for drugs or devices
used to prevent pregnancy and for
procedures used in ending an ectopic
pregnancy, one in which the fetus
grows outside the uterus.
It was adopted 59-29.
