Dr, Hannah, chairman of the obstetrics and gynecology de- partment of the hospital, said) Monday however that '"'common interpretation of the law by responsible physicians empha- sizes the health and life of the mother." | Under a rigid interpretation of the code, abortion is permit- ted only when the mother's life! is in danger. | One of 36 annual reports| released by the hospital says that 12 abortions were per-| formed in 1966. | The report said six women| had their pregnancies ended because their psychiatric condi- tions were serious. Psychiatrists believed the women risked wor- sening their condition if they went through with the births, RISK DEFORMITY | Three abortions were carried out because the mothers had caught German measles early in pregnancy and there was a high risk their babies would be born severely deformed. Rape was the reason for term- inating one pregnancy. Another was ended because the infant stood a more than 50-per-cent chance of being born with a hereditary disease similar to muscular dystrophy. The other abortion at the hospital was because the woman suffered from a liver disease. Dr. Hannah said the abortions were performed after a decision by a five-member standing com- mittee of doctors from the hos- pital. In each case, the judge-} ment included an opinion by a| psychiatrist about the mental health of the mother. SAFEGUARD PATIENT Safeguards in the hospital's system included a requirement for laboratory evidence showing that mothers had suffered Ger- man measles in the first three months of pregnancy before an abortion could be performed on those grounds.

Powell Favored To Win Today's Special Election NEW YORK (AP) -- Adam Clayton Powell, 58, is the over- whelming favorite in today's special election to fill his old seat in the House of Representa- tives. His toughest battle is ex- pected to be against voter com- placency. The primary measure of the Harlem Negro Democrat's suc-| cess will be the size of the voter turnout and the plurality he re- ceives. Polls in the 18th congressional district are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. But Harlem-area voters, virtually assured Powell will win the House seat for the 13th consecutive time, may stay away. Powell's opponents are a 50- year-old grandmother, Mrs. Lu- cille Pickett Williams, who re- placed James Meredith when he withdrew as the Republican can- didate, and Rev. Ervin F. Year- ling, 38, a Baptist minister like Powell and the Conservative party candidate. Both are Ne- groes. LIGHT TURNOUT? Powell's campaign manager, L. Joseph Overton, said 'if we get 50 per cent of the turnout last November, I think we'll be doing very good." Last November, when Powell made a few appearances in the district, he got 45,308 of some 60,000 votes cast for Congress. | He beat the closest of his three} rivals by better than a 4-to-1) |margin. | Powell, who now spends most} of his time on his Bimini island "It would be unwise and the government does not intend to permit these allegations, with the inferences that may be drawn from them, to remain uninvestigated or unanswered. "If we are to havé a gov- ernment and a civil service in which the general public have confidence, then it is necessary that accusations such as these should be either proven or com- pletely discounted." Mr. Robarts said Dr. Shul- man could lay his allegations before the inquiry. HINTED AT COVER-UP Among other things, Dr. Shul- man had said that Dr. Cot- nam's order against holding an inquest in the hospital fire "carries the unpleasant impli- cation that the government does not want all the facts brought out.'"' He had also hinted that the government had| covered up on other matters. In other developments: 1. Speaker Donald Morrow ruled out of order opposition at tempts to stage an emergency debate on the controversy in the legislature. 2. Liberal members bombarded the government with questions but obtained little new informa-) tion, Wishart said it had been found Dr. Shulman had removed "'a number of public files'? from his office after his dismissal. 4.
