Volume 74, Number 160 f &v House Approves Abortion Legislation RALEIGH The House Friday gave final approval to legislation which will liberalize North Carolina's 86-year-old abortion law, and the measure nnw re turns to the Senate for concurrence in seven amendments. Rep. Arthur H. Jones, D-Mecklenburg, House v floor manager of the Senate-passed proposal, called it "one of the best pieces of social legislation of our time" and predicted quick Senate approval of the amendments. The measure appeared to run into trouble Friday when House members introduced amendment after amendment which Jones said would "gut the bill," but each of the proposed changes and an attempt to send the bill to a judiciary committee were defeated. Marines Win Last Of Three Hills SAIGON U. S. Marines won their final objec tive Friday in the Battle of the Hilltops, a bloody, 12-day campaign that officers said foiled a Commun ist plan to wipe out the forward American command post at Khe Sanh. Leathernecks secured the last of three key peaks Hill 881 North where North Vietnamese regulars had massed menacingly above Khe Sanh, seven miles from the Laotian border and 12 miles South of the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam. Resistance by battered regiments of North Viet nam's 325th Division ebbed to a flurry of shots which wounded seven Marines. The Marines killed seven of the enemy in this final firefight. The occupation was completed at 2:35 p.m. Oswald Claimed To Be CIA-Linked NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans States - Item said in a copyrighted story Friday that Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison will seek to show that Lee Harvey Os wald was an undercover agent who aided the cause of anti - Castro Cubans here. ' i . "Garrison's investigation is said to have taken a definite trend toward what are believed to be indi cations that persons employed by the CIA were re sponsible for Kennedy's death," the newspaper said. Garrison's Kennedy assassination investigation, the States -Item said, "will show that ... Oswald was not a Communist." The Warren Commission decid ed that Oswald was a confused, Communist - oriented young man who was driven to kill Kennedy by a deep need for public recogniation. Romney Says LBJ Distorting War Reports WASHINGTON Michigan Gov. George Romney accused the Johnson Administration Friday of mis leading Americans with manipulated, inflated and dis torted reports on the Vietnam war. Romney, a prospective candidate for the 1968 GOP Presidential nomination, predicted his party will win the Presidency and control of the House next year. Then, he said, the country will get "a government that forth-rightly tells us what's really going on." Romnev made his remarks in a sneech prepared for the convention of the National Federation of Re publican Women. "The people don't want a government that stum bles into international commitments that grow like Topsy," he said. "There's a better way a foreign policy based on a consistent realistic long range concept of Amer ica's world role. World Journal Tribune: R. I. P. NEW YORK The fledgling World Journal Tri bune ceased publication Friday after only eight months of existence, attributing its death to union har assment and a new and higher wage pattern in the industry. "The thing that has brought us to this day is the intransigence of the unions," declared the afternoon and Sunday newspaper's president, Matt Meyer. The World Journal Tribune was losing money at the rate of $8.4 million a year, he said,' and no one had shown any interest in buying it. First published after a 140-day strike last year, the World Journal Tribune closed in the midst of a new round of New York newspaper wage negotiations in which a pattern of a 21 per cent wage increase over three years already has been set.

That indication was given Friday by Sharon Rose, chair man of the Women's Residence Council. Miss Rose, commenting on the purpose of the referendum, said that there has never been a serious attempt to determine a consensus among coeds con- Jail Sentence Proposed For Drunk Drivers RALEIGH (AP) Manda tory jail sentences for second and third offenses of drunken driving were proposed in leg islation filed Friday in the House. The bill, introduced by Rep. Thomas Strickland of Wayne, would include a three-day jail sentence for a second of fense and a seven-day sen tence for third offenses. Strickland sponsored a sim ilar measure earlier in the session, but no legislative ac tion has been taken on the proposal. The bill would insert other new features into the law, which new makes drunken driving a general misdemea nor. Major provisions of the bill are: For a first offense, revoca tion of driver's license for one year and a $100 fine or up to 30 days in prison or both. In the discretion of the court, though, revocation of the li cense "may be reduced to the extent of allowing limited ope ration of a motor vehicle if necessary to prevent loss of employment. . ." For a second offense with in a iO year period, three days in jail and a fine of not less than $200 or not less than 90 days in prison. Third offense within a 10 year period, seven days in jail and a $500 fine or not less than six months in prison. At the discretion of the court, though, such persons "volum tarily may be committed to any alcoholic Rehabilitation Center for a period of not less than 33 days nor more than 0 dys, in lieu of im prisonment. . Will Inf In f r I tf It I AlDBFOYe; JL For Viet' War By WAYNE HURDER DTH Staff Writer . The Student Legislature agreed on the wording of the Vietnam referendum and changed the date of the vote to May 16 in a heated, lengthy debate Thursday night. The legislature changed only two words in the refer endum that had been drawn up by a special committee con sulting with political scientists and a psychometrician before passing it 24-1. The ballot lists four alterna tive policies, one of which the voter is to check. According to Dave Kiel, member of the committee that composed the alternatives, two of the alter natives are of escalation and the other two of de-escalation. Much of th3 debate center ed on whether one of the supposedly escalatory alterna tives was really escalatory. Critics of the wording said that the alternative in ques tion, Policy B on the ballot, was not gradual escalation, as Kiel said, but maintenance of the status quo. This the critics argued, left only one escalatory policy for the hawks, thus biasing the referendum in tha dove's fa vor. The four alternatives are: "Policy A. The United States should defeat the power of North Vietnam by widespread bombing of -its industries, voting ence. Not Change cerning their rules. The referendum, she said, is designed to give the members Brown Bagging Legal Today RALEIGH (AP) "Brown bagging" will become legal in a number of restaurants and clubs throughout North Caro lina starting today. The State Board of Alcoho lic Control reported Friday that bagging permits authoriz ed by a new liquor law will be handed out to various appli cants around the state. Temporary permits, good for 90 days, were mailed out Friday to ABC officers in va rious communities and will be personally taken to those who have applied fcr them. Liquor-drinking was legal on ly in the home under a State Supreme Court ruling late last year, until the Gen eral Assembly enacted the bagging law two weeks ago. tv-V ' ' ' ' J - ? . -IS - ,i"t He nifc?.;'. a e-n.-h:t1er, which included ten ia.

The United States should de - escalate its military activity, stop bomb ing North Vietnam, and inten sify its efforts to begin nego tiations. "Policy D. The United States should withdraw its mil itary forces from Vietnam im mediately." The only amendment to the committee's referendum that passed was offered by George Isherwood. In policy A he moved that "defeat" replce "crush," and "widespread" replace "whole sale.' George Krichbaum, who ar gued that the referendum of fered only one alternative for those who espoused escalation, proposed an amendment that would add another escalatory policy and make the present policy B, Policy C, to serve as a middle ground. Kiel, in arguing against the amendment, said that inter pretation of policy B "depends on your view on the war." A hawk would see the present policy as one of maintaining the status quo while a dove . would see it as one of gradu ual escalation. He added that the referen dum was set up with only four RLesults Of the WRC and the administra tion a representative view of how the women feel. But, she emphasized, even a 100 per cent vote for one of the proposed changes would not mean that change will be effected. "The referendum results will in no way commit the WRC to make any changes, but it will certainly affect its recommen dations to the adminstration," she said. Referendum questions will concern senior coeds and 21-year-olds living in off-campus housing, extension of late min utes, resident administration approval for overnight leave and extension of closing hours. Dean of Women Catherine Carmichael, who has been meeting with present and past executives of the WRC, said that the results of the referen dum will definitely receive se rious consideration by her. Although the results of the voting will be tabulated next week, Miss Rose said no action can be taken before next fall. At that time, the 40 WRC will review the ballot results and draw up recommendations on them. - v f s e - , ill-- - """ ' rrrm ....

It was recommended to the committee by psychometrician .lames Kahan that a referen dum with five questions would be statistically less valid than one with four. Krichbaum's amendment was defeated 20-18. Tom Benton said he didn't think "anything could be more frustrating to the students than to look over this thing and try to figure out what it means." Kiel admitted that the ques tions might be a bit ambigu ous but he said this couldn't be help if the ballot was to be limited to four alternatives. And, he added, it was ne cesary to have only a small number of questions for the referendum to have any signi ficance. The date for the Vietnam re ferendum had been scheduled for May 11. However, it and the women's rules referendum had to be moved to May 16 because the ballots couldn't be printed up in time. Terry Fowler, Larry Rich ter and David Kiel were the members of the committee that drew up the referendum. They were advised by Wil liam Fleming, Lewis Lipsitz, and Robert Lineberry of the political science department, and by James Kahan, a psy chometrics graduate student. The referendum, which is intended for students and fa culty, requests the voter's sex, status at the University, and major, if a student.
