SUPREME COUR T INTER VENTION POSSIBLE:
U.S. may fund abortions
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The federal
government will be required to finance
abortions for the poor beginning Friday
unless the Supreme Court steps in
before then.
U.S. Solicitor General Wade McCree
- who represents the government in
appeals courts - asked the high court
Monday to act promptly on the matter.
AT ISSUE is a Jan. 15 ruling by U.S.
District Judge John Dooling of New
York, who said the government must
give states money that could be used to
fund abortions under the Medicaid
program.
Since 1976, the number of federally-
funded abortions for the poor has been
reduced dramatically by a rider
Congress attached to the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare ap-
propriation bill each year.
The rider - known as the Hyde
amendment after Rep. Henry Hyde (R-
Ill.) - forbids federal funding of abor-
tions except to save a woman's life and
for some victims of rape and incest.
DOOLING'S ORDER overturns the,
Hyde amendment and says the gover-
nmentmust start financing abortions
on Feb. 15.
McCree said Dooling's order not only
would disrupt the entire Medicaid
system, it also raised the possibility
states would seek federal reimbur-
sement for abortions funded with state
money in previous years.
"The ruling of a single district judge
should not be permitted to nullify
Congress' Medicaid funding decision,
But in its appeal, the government
maintained:
"The First Amendment protects the
freedom of speech and freedom of the
press, as well as the free 'exercise of
religion, yet it would be foolish to
suggest the constitutionally guaranteed
rights to speak and publish entail A
corresponding entitlement to federal

ROME - A young woman and a
bearded male comfpanion shot and
killed one of Italy's leading Roman
Catholic lay activists yesterday as he
walked out .of his law class into a
hallway at the University of Rome,
police reported.
Callers to two newspapers several
hours after the attack claimed it was
the work of the Red Brigades, Italy's
most feared terrorist gang.
VITTORIO BACHELET, 54, a top
Italian judge, was the 11th person killed
by terrorists in Italy this year and the
seventh magistrate slain since 1976. He
presumably was chosen for
assassination because of high ranking
in the governing body of Italy's judicial
system. The Red Brigades have vowed
to strike at governmental agencies.
Bachelet had served as a consultant'
to the Vatican and was a long-time
acquaintance of Pope John Paul II, who
condemned the attack as the latest in a
series of "abominable crimes to stain
the beloved city of Rome with blood."
One of the anonymous callers to
newspapers said, "Listen to me
carefully, we are the Red Brigades, we
have executed Bachelet. A com-
munique will follow." js
BACHELET HAD just finished
teaching a law class in the Aldo Moro
Auditorium, named after the former
premier kidnapped and killed by the
Red Brigades in 1978. Moro also had
taught at the university.
As Bachelet headed toward a stair-
case, a young woman put her hand on
his left shoglder, witnesses said. When
he turned, she fired three or four bullets
into him. Bachelet fell to the floor.. Both
terrorists then stood over him and kept
firing, including once into the back of
his head.
The judge died almost instantly from
seven 32-caliber bullet wounds.
TO COVER their getaway, the
terrorists screamed "There's a bomb,
there's a bomb," emptying the law
class of students. They reached a cam-
pus gate and fled in a waiting car
driven by an accomplice.
Bachelet, a member of the Christian
Democratic Party, was a colleague of
Moro and vice president of the nation's
Superior Council of Magistrates. He
succeeded Moro as president of the
Catholic Act-ion church service
organization and was a member of the
Vatican's Pontifical Council for the
Laity.
As a member of the council, Bachelet
met the former Cardinal Karol Wojtyla
and maintained his contacts when he
later became Pope John Paul II.
On hearing of Bachelet's
assassination, the pope sent his family
a message of condolence and described
the killing as "an inhuman, savage
crime."
Investigators said they, believed
Bachelet's two killers, described as
between 20 and 25 years old, had an ac-
complice who attended the judge's lec-
ture and gave them the signal to attack.
