In Jefferson City yesterday, Gov. Christopher S. Bord, signed a bill exempting physicians, nurses, hospitals and their personnel from liability for refusal to perform abortions.

"I don't see why we should be in such a hurry to push legislation through in which there is substantial disagreement," Mrs. Stolar told the committee.

She suggested that the city alioiv Wochner to handle the matter through departmental rules and regulations. Meanwhile, the aldermanic Ways and Means Committee reported out a bill authorizing a half-cent sales tax for the Bi-State Transit System. The committee's action set the stage for a vote Friday on the meas-use by the 29-memlber Board of fith Ward, in urging the committee to put of fading on the bills.

But even if the bills were reported out, there appeared little likelihood they would be voted on by the full Board of Aldermen before its summer vacation. The board will meet Friday and then adjourn for the summer. In order for the bills to be taken up Friday, Svetanics and Komorek wil lhave to win approval of a motion to suspend the rules. This would require a two-thirds majority, 20 voes. AT SPECIAL PRICES Avorag Thr Roonu Up to 300 q.
