Panel Given Testimoney On Abortions Urbana (AP) Current Illinois laws threaten the lives of frightened and hysterical young women who are forced to turn to unqualified and unlicensed individuals for an abortion, a state study commission was told Friday. Abortion laws also threaten the careers of respected doctors who feel abortions are thical, said Dr, Lonny Meyers, female representative of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws.

Dr. Meyers was a several doctors, lawyers, professors and students testified before the I i i Family Study Commission at an open hearing at the University of Illinois, The testimony begged for liberalization of Illinois abortion and divorce laws. Mrs. Jacqueline Flenner, a counselor at a co educational dormitory on the Illinois campus, said there is widespread student support for girls seeking abortions. She told of one student who raised $350 by "going from table to table in the dining halls soliciting contributions so that a friend of ibis could obtain an abortion." "He was very honest and made no pretenses about what the money was to be used for," Mrs.

Flenner said. She cited five cases in which girls she knew or had counseled sought and received i a She said women usually go to Chicago or Indianapolis, Ind, and pay a fee ot $850 for the illegal operation Present laws permit abortion in Illinois only in those cases in which the life of an expectant mother is dcmonslrably endangered if a pregnancy is allowed to continue "The only prerequisite for having an abortion performed should be obtaining the consent of the patient and doctor," Dr. Meyers said. The commission, composed of four state senators, four state house representatives and 10 citizens, hopes to schedule two more hearings. It is considering recommendations from three of its subcommittees advocating widespread changes in slate divorce and abortion a Friday's hearing was thhe third held by the commission.

Agnew Levels Jests at Press (c) 1968 New York Times Palm Springs, Calif. Vice President elect Spiro T. A i newspapers Friday to executioners and bird cage lining in some jesting off the cuff remarks at the Republican governors conference. The meeting at which the Maryland governor made the remarks was closed to the press and the participants a several slightly a i versions afterward. But most versions agreed that Agnew, smiling, described the New York Times and Newsweek as "executionary journals" a said there were other publications that were "fit only to line the bottom of bird cages." The gibes were apparently a reference to publications during the presidential campaign that raised questions about potential conflict of interest over Agnew's part in Maryland banking and land purchase deals.
