SA May 26, IW3 Lincoln, Sunday Journal 1s Full Scale Cod Battle Coming LONDON (AP) Britain's Cod War with Iceland escalated into a direct confrontation on the high seas Saturday. Warships of the Royal Navy moved in to protect trawlers that were forced by Icelandic gunboats to abandon fishing grounds off the Atlantic island. Reports reaching London said three British naval frigates with sirens a i i a a cheering trawler crews for a mass return to Iceland's disputed 50-mile fishing limit. Prime Minister Edward Heath's Conservative government had finally bowed to pressure from trawlermen for naval support in their eight month struggle to catch cod inside self-proclaimed Icelandic waters. Agriculture Minister Joseph Godber said the navy took-over protection of the trawlers in midafternoon.

"Our frigates will not stand- idly by to see our trawlers chased by Icelandic gunboats from their traditional fishing grounds." Godber told a hastily "summoned news conference. He said the British trawlers and tugs off Iceland will operate under navy orders from now on. but he refused to say what the warships would do if the fishermen became involved in new clashes with Icelandic patrol boats. "The navy will take such action as is necessary to enable the trawlers to operate properly." he said. Better Abortion Clinics Lose Money by Not Competing Godber voiced disagreement with one newsman who said that sending in the navy might be just what the Icelanders want: portraying Britain as bullying a small country.

"I don't believe the Icelanders will be pleased to see the trawlers going back in as well." Godber declared. Jeannette Rankin Jeannette Rankin Dies CARMEL, Calif. A Jeannette Rankin. a pioneer suffragette and the nation's first woman in Congress, is dead at 92 after a long political career marked by an unswerving aversion to war and an outspoken advocacy of the rights of women. Miss Rankin was the only member of Congress to vote against American involvement in the nation's two world wars.

Late in life she was active in protesting the Vietnam war. Death came to the former social worker and Republican congresswoman Friday night at her retirement apartment in Calif. Friends said the been in failing health for the. past few months. The congresswoman from Missoula.

was one of the 56 members of Congress who voted against U.S. entry into World War I. In 1941 she" stood alone in opposing America's entry into World War JI. Miss Rankin was born on a ranch near Missoula before Montana became a state. She was- graduated from the University of Montana and was a "social worker in the early 1900s.

At 36. and as a freshman legislator, she told her congressional colleagues: "I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war." In her first House term. Miss Rankin helped push through the 19th A to the Constitution giving the vote to women for the first time. She previously had been a leader in the fight for similar legislation in her native state. Philadelphia Nearly four months after the Supreme Court struck down restrictive abortion laws, women in many areas of the country still find that terminating a pregnancy means leaving their home state, paying high prices or running the risk of exploitation by commercial referral services.

At the same time, greatly eased restrictions in many urban areas have meant that fewer women journey elsewhere for an abortion and clinics in New York are cutting back their operations and some reportedly may close down completely The pattern varies, but there are indications the "better" abortion clinics those providing the best care at the lowest cost are the ones facing the most serious financial problems because they generally decline to compete for abortion business. Depending on what part of the country she is in, a woman can pay from about $125 to $500 for an early term abortion. In many places, there is open competition among agencies a i i i to "problem pregnancies" and almost no regulation. In Philadelphia, for example, "abortions are being sold like soap or shoes," in the view of Susan Weiss, a feminist who is president of the board of directors of Women's Medical Services, an abortion and gynecological clinic with three doctors on its staff. Mrs.

Weiss, 31, says her clinic, regarded as one of the best run and least expensive in Pennsylvania, faces financial problems because it has refused to ally with commercial referral services or to advertise. "But now," she said, "we've hired an ad agency and we're trying to work out the best approach. Everyone is sick about it. Nobody likes doing it, but we're going to have to do it to stay in business." "It's frustrating," says Dr. Arnold Wechsler of the clinic staff.

"We knock our brains out to do things properly and then see the women go somewhere else because of the advertising. They're still leaving and going to New York or somewhere and getting ripped off. So we're going to the extreme of paying the expense in spreading the wrd." Similarly financially troubled, but to a more advanced degree, is the Philadelphia Family Planning Clinic (PFPC). which is also run along what is regarded by women activists as model lines providing, along with the abortion procedure itself, a wide range of counseling and free after-care, if necessary, for a single moderate fee Both clinics charge $160 for an Forget To Boil the Tap Water Atlanta (UPI) Travelers to Mexico should watch their diets carefully to avoid contracting typhoid fever, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) warned. The CDC said typhoid has reached epidemic proportions in Mexico.

Over 6,300 cases of typhoid more than double the 1971 figure were reported last year. Most of the strains are resistant to the normal typhoid vaccine, the CDC said. According to the center, the best defense against contracting the disease is choosing cooked, hot foods and avoiding salads, raw vegetables and unpeeled fruits. Tap water should be boiled." Fire Hazards At the Station Pembroke Pines. Fla.

(AP) -The state Safely Division says the fire station here is a fire hazard. A division inspector said a check revealed the firemen in the Fort Lauderdale suburb were storing gasoline in unapproved containers, keeping aerosol cans near a water heater and improperly storing paint in the fire chief's office. The inspector also said he found two electrical hazards that could electrocute someone or set the station afire. abortion for a woman through the first trimester of pregnancy. After that, the woman is referred to a hospital since a more elaborate procedure is required for later pregnancies.

All services attendant to the abortion are included in the fee, including counseling, after-care, and if needed, an injection of rho gam. required by about of women who get abortions because of negative RH blood factor. By contrast, an abortion arranged through a referral service might cost up to $275 for a first term, outpatient procedure, with an additional charge of $35 for rho gam, if needed, and possibly other charges for an anesthesia or other items. If the woman is referred out of the city, she must also pay her travel costs. The fees for a referral by a commercial agency vary.

In some cases, it might be but previous practice indicates that a referral to a New York clinic might net the service as much as $50 or in some instances even $100. Pennsylvania and most other states have no laws regulating the referral services. There is no legislation pending here to control them, nor could any stage agency be found that seemed interested in such regulation. The whole question of abortion in Pennsylvania which has a fairly large and generally conservative Catholic population "is a political hot potato (and) nobody wants to deal with it," according to a spokesman for the state's consumer protection agency. The position of the State Medical Society, moreover, remains unchanged by the Supreme Court decision.

According to John Rineman, executive vice president of the society, that position is "that the society does not condone abortion on demand." Across the country, feeling about abortion continues td run high, and opponents have been fighting loosening of restriction with renewed zeal and in many areas with telling effect.
