Hospital Notes Homllton Counfy LIVESTOCK WALL STREET NEW YORK (AP) Bolstered by bargain hunting, the stock market made a modest gain today.

Trading was moderate. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, which had been off fractionally earlier, was up 5.95 at 943.26 by noon. Advances on the New York Stock Exchange were narrowly ahead of declines. The gainers included drugs, motors, mail order-retail, aircrafts, electronics, and glamour issues. Farm implements were mixed.

Analysts said bargain hunting more than offset concern about the Communist offensive in South Vietnam and recent price rollbacks ordered by the Price Commission. Both factors were cited as major reasons behind the market's decline in the first three sessions this week, when the Dow industrial average skidded some 20 points. The market steadied Thursday.

Seven women arrested in police raids on the alleged clinic and abortion referral service were freed on $2,500 bond each Thursday.

Police said the clinic was profe.ssionally equipped, and that the seven women arrested Wednesday night appeared to have been professionally trained by physicians. Police said the clinic may have been part of a nationwide system. According to police, seven women were in the waiting room of the apartment building clinic and three others were in a post-operative room after apparent abortions, which are illegal in Illinois. Another apartment apparently served as a referral service for the clinic, police said. The women's coalition claimed the abortion law under which the women were charged is unconstitutional.

"It denies women the basic right to control their own reproductive lives and it should and must be repealed," the group said in a statement. "We see the Chicago arrests as part of a nationwide offensive by anti-abortion forces attempting to hold back the growing movement demanding the woman's right to choose," the statement said.

Louis has been put on a one- year probation by the Illinois High School Association, it was announced Thursday. The action stems from an investigation into the violence during and after a March 10 sectional basketball game between Lincoln and Collinsvills High School. The game was played at Edwardsville. The association said it documented a number ol instances in which Lincoln High players Nixon ran away with the Republican primary, which was even more sparse in votes than the Democratic race because of crossover voting. He won all 26 delegates.

Woolworth Sales Up In March Anolyxe Wolloce What Makes George Run? MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) George C. Wallace as the Democratic vice presidential nominee? Forget It, says one of his lop campaign directors. "The governor told me just two days ago that under no circumstances at this time would he accept the vice presidential nomination," the aide said Thursday.

"And I don't think he would." Then what makes George run? If the Alabama governor can force a first-ballot deadlock at the Democratic National Convention, he could try to pry loose from other difficult If not impossible task. More tlian likely, he will seek concessions from the other presidential hopefuls. The governor has spoken of trying to influence the drafting of the party platform. Or, he might seek commitments from the other candidates to soften the Impact of school busing for racial integration, if not oppose it altogether. Wallace would have to offer in return, of course, like tumhig his delegates over to another contender willing to bargain wilh him.

And that's where the whole thing could collapse. Wallace could discover that he couldn't deliver. He may have difficulty, in fact, in keeping some of his delegates from turning against him on the first ballot. Wallace has said he expects to go to the convention in Miami Beach with 40O pledged delegates. He has' shown surprising strength outside the South in the primaries, running second in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Indiana following a first-place showing in Florida.

And on Thursday he ran away with the primary in Tennessee, polling about 70 per cent of the total vote cast. The victory also captured the questionable conunitment of all 49 Tennessee delegates, which he may have trouble holding. But the campaign aide who brushed aside the talks of a vice presidential spot said he feels that if Wallace is treated respectfully at Miami Beach, the convention will "wind it up" as far as the governor's role in the presidential campaign goes. "Otherwise," he adled, "heU yes, he'll run as a thu-d party candidate. NEW YORK, F.
