The Michigan Daily-Wednesday; February 13, 1980-Page 7 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 Do a Tree a Favor: Recycle Your Daily" 'The court has recognized the const it utionially protected rights to marry and to use contracep- tives, but existence of those rights does not require public funding to aid their exercise. -U.S. Solicitor General Wade McCree People's Republic Of Chine summer Language et Nankai Unversity in Tianjie PRC.

From AP and UPI 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.
