6 Page 2-Wednesday December 10, 1980-The Michigan Daily Legislature fails IN BRIEF to ban abortions LANSING (UPI) - The state legislature failed yesterday in its bid to ban welfare abortions over Gov. William Milliken's veto. Although the attempted override suc- ceeded in the Senate on the second try, it fell nine votes short of the two-thirds majority needed in the House. MILLIKEN LAST week vetoed for the eighth time since 1978 legislation barring state funding of abortions for poor women. The governor said poor women should not be denied the procedures solely because they cannot afford them. - Michigan, one of the few states which funds abortions, spends about $4 million of its $1.6 billion welfare budget for an estimated 14,000 Medicaid abortions. A successful override in the House would have marked only the second time in three decades the legislature has overturned a Michigan governor's veto. ANTI-ABORTION forces blamed the absence of three representatives who would have voted with them plus last- minute decisions by six others for the defeat. Another override try is expec- ted later in the week. Four Republicans who originally voted for the abortion ban - Rep. William Bryant (R-Grosse Pointe), Rep. William Jowett (R-Port Huron), Rep. Jack Kirksey (R-Livonia), and Rep. Sylvia Skrel (R-Livonia) voted with the Republican governor and against an override. The Senate twice attempted to over- turn Milliken's veto of the bill banning Medicaid abortions except in cases where the prospective mother's life is in danger. ON THE second attempt, senators voted 26-12 to defy the governor - exac- tly the two-thirds vote needed. An initial try fell short when Sen. Bill Huf- fman (D-Madison Heights), failed to vote. Senators were shocked when Huf- fman failed to vote on the first veto override attempt. Following closed- door meetings with legislative leaders, the suburban Detroit legislator sided with anti-abortion lawmakers. Huffman denied he had been per- suaded by Senate leaders or promised favors to vote in favor of the override. THE SENATE vote came as chan- ting, sign-waving members of Right-to- Life of Michigan rallied at the Capitol in an attempt to boost House support for the veto override. Jane Muldoon, president of the group, said she was "delighted" with the Senate vote. "It was a tremendous thing we were asking them to do, especially the Republicans. I know it (the vote) is no disrespect to the governor." Ironically, Muldoon said before the House vote that she preferred a delay in the House to insure the necessary votes were available. Job outlook good for graduates, study says EAST LANSING (UPI)-A college degree does not mean what it used to ' i i but it's still a pretty effective antidote " o Peace Without Development" to recession, according to Michigan State University's annual nationwide FREE PUBLIC LECTURE job survey released yesterday. Rackham Audiorium,3:30 Sunday, Dec. 14 MSU Placement Director Jack Shingleton, who surveyed 562 public and private sector employers, said the so Workshop/Discussion with Clergy and inter- job market for this year's graduating class will be largely unchanged despite ted Laypeople on Saturday, Dec. 13,3:00-5:00 at theeconomicdownturn. rst Presbyterian Church, 1432 Washtenaw. About 90 percent of the seniors will have jobs waiting for them when they (REGISTRATION R EQ UESTEDgraduate and the remaining 10 percent R OUNCIREQUESTED, will find work within three or four mon- INTERFAITH COUNCIL 6631870) ths, although perhaps not exactly what they were looking for, he said. ENGINEERS, AND others with technical training continue to be most in demand and claim the highest star- ting salaries, the survey showed, while those graduating with social science, liberal arts, and, education degrees have to wait for jobs and accept lower salaries when they get them. Shingleton said starting salaries will average just over $15,000-an increase of about 6 percent from those offered last spring. They range from a low of, $12,970 for social science grads to $20,650 for chemical engineers. About the same number of jobs will be available as last year, but since they will be visiting morecampuses recruiters are likely to be a bit more selective, Singleton said. Also, there are a few more graduates this year, he noted. THE IMPACT of the recession has been "minimal as far as college graduates are concerned," Shingleton said of his 10th annual survey. The market "will be about the same as last year, and last year was really not a bad year," he said. With the tightening of the job market for those in liberal arts, he said, in- creasing emphasis is being placed on teaching students how to find jobs and making sure they get practical ex- perience in college. WHILE HOLDING a degree "still makes a difference as far as em- ployment is concerned," it is "not as valuable a credential to have as it once was," Shingleton said.

The 5-4 ruling said the government's power under a federal statute to ask for review of a sentence it considers too lenient does not infringe on, the protection against multiple trials or multiple punishment. The government has asked the high court to overturn an appeals court dismissal of the request for review of a man's federal racketeering sentence. The decision may bolster attempts to give the government broader powers to appeal light sentences for all criminal offenses-a contested provision in the revised U.S. Criminal Code pending before Congress. Senate votes to let fililbuster continue WASHINGTON-The Senate refused yesterday to break a conservative Republican-led filibuster against "fair housing" backed by Democratic liberals. Immediately after the Senate voted not to choke off the debate, Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd fulfilled his pledge to withdraw the measure from Senate consideration, which doomed the bill for the current session of Congress. The bill was designed to improve enforcement of a 1968 civil rights law that banned discrimination in housing. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) the floor sponsor of the bill said the out- come represented "A major retreat by the Republican Party in its commit- ment to civil rights." Senate Republican leader Howard Baker, who takes over as majority leader when the GOP-Senate convenes next year, pledged he would try to "move a fair housing bill early in the next session. And a good bill, not just a bill in name only." FBI set up Abscam defendent Kelly, attorney says WASHINGTON-Rep. Richard Kelly took $25,000 from undercover agents, not to sell his services, but as part of his own investigation of suspicious characters with whom he was dealing, his lawyer said yesterday. In a statement at the start of the Florida Republican's Abscam trial, defense lawyer Anthony Battaglia said the congressman is innocent of any wrongdoing. Kelly, he said, was set up and targeted by undercover FBI agents posing as representatives of fictitious Arab sheiks willing to pay bribes to politicians in exchange for special favors. Kelly and two co-defendents, Eugene Ciuzio of Longwood, Fla., and Stanley Weisz of Smithtown, N.Y., are on trial for bribery, conspiracy and racketeering charges arising from the FBI's Abscam investigation. The indictment said the three agreed to accept a total of $250,000 in return for Kelly's promise to introduce private immigration bills for fictitious Arabs. Interest rates keep rising NEW 'VORK-Interest rates continued to climb toward record levels yesterday, and the surge is not over, Henry Kaufman, da leading Wall Street economist, predicted. A small New York bank raised its prime lending rate to 19.75 percent from 19 percent, closing in on the record 20 percent rate of last spring. No major banks matched the increase. The latest leap in the lending rate for the most creditworthy corporate customers came from UMB Bank and Trust Co., a U.S. subdidiary of United' Mizrahi Bank of Israel, which has often moved in advance of major banks. Kaufman said inflation is likely to average 10 percent at an annual rate, perhaps rising toward 11 percent by the end of 1981. Soviet troops still needed in Afghanistan, Brezhnev says NEW DELHI-Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev told Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi yesterday that Moscow has noted "a certain nor- malization" in Afghanistan, according to Brezhnev's spokesman. But the justification for keeping Soviet troops there is stronger than ever because of alleged American escalation of tension, the spokesman said. Brezhnev and Gandhi met for two hours yesterday, the second day of Brezhnev's state visit to India. India's traditionally good relations with Moscow have been strained recently by Soviet military presence in nearby Afghanistan. The United States has denied providing any substantial aid to anti-com- munist Moslem guerrillas fighting Afghan government forces and the estimated 85,000 Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan. Soviet spokesman Leonid Zamyatin said, "We are not planning to in- troduce any new troops into Afghanistan-if reason prevails among those organizing intervention and they decide to seek a political settlement."
