Critics Threaten
To Test Colorado
Abortion Measure
DENVER rUPI) — The most
liberal abortion bill in the
nation was signed Tuesday by
Colorado Gov. John A. Love,
touching off a cry from critics
who threatened to test the law
in the courts or before the
people.
Love said he made his
decision only after “thorough
soul searching.” He called it the
most difficult choice of his
political life.
“I realize full well that we
are dealing in legislation with a
matter of supreme importance
—that of the reproductive
process and with life itself,”
Love said.
“However, I believe that the
bill as written contains safe
guards and is designed to do
something about areas of
suffering and abuse which have
been of concern to a great
many people for a great period
of time.”
The legislation, which passed
both houses of the Colorado
legislature by wide margins, had
drawn threatening letters to
state lawmakers, hissing from
the galleries and picketing from
mothers, some carrying child
ren in their arm. 1 ?.
Attorney Leonard Carlin,
president of the Catholic
Lawyers Guild, said there was
talk about forcing the issue on
the ballot at the 1968 general
election or testing it in the
courts.
The bill would allow an
abortion in a case where a
three-doctor board in an accre
dited hospital agreed unani
mously one was Justified.
The justifiable grounds are:
—When the pregnancy would
result in the death of the
mother or serious, permanent
impairment of her physical or
mental health;
—When the child would likely
be born “with grave and
permanent physical deformity
or mental retardation;”
—When the pregnancy result
ed from forcible rape or incest
and no more than 16 weeks of
gestation had passed; or
—When a girl under 16
became pregnant from statuto
ry rape or incest.
The governor, in approving it,
denied charges that Colorado
would become “the abortion
mecca of the world” and
pledged corrective action would
be taken “if we find defects or
omissions or if abuses do,
indeed, occur.”

Hoffa’s Son
Is Elected
DETROIT (UPI) James P.
Hoffa, son of imprisoned
teamsters leader James R.
Hoffa, today was declared the
winner In his first political
election, and he said he did It
on his own—“not on my father’s
name.”
The recent University of
Michigan Law School graduate
was emphatic when he said he
alone won the Democratic
nomination for the Michigan
House of Representatives seat
vacated by the death of Rep.
Joseph J. Kowalski in a 15-man
primary election Tuesday.
"My victorj’ was not on my
father’s name. I didn’t run on
father’s name. I ran on my
qualifications,” he declared.
Hoffa received 1,429 votes in
the small, northwest Detroit
19th District. He beat second
place Casmer Ogonowski, a
Detroit Public Works Commis
sion aide, by 301 votes.
Hoffa won despite charges
from Matthew McCusker, son of
the senior member of the
United Auto Workers executive
board, that he "bought votes
and isn’t a true Demo
crat.” McCusker, 31, finished
fifth.

—An explosion, believed trig
gered by dynamite, shook the
home late Tuesday night of the
mother of a federal judge deep

enemy of former Gov. George:

No one was hurt by the blast
and damage was not extensive
to the two-story brick home of
Mrs. Frank M. Johnson Sr., a
widow who lives alone.
FBI agents and city police

native costumes and brought Japanese items to school
Tuesday. Dressed in native costumes on the front row

Federal District Judge Frank I
M. Johnson Jr. rushed to the
house to comfort his mother
from his own home about a
mile away. Later the judge
sent word to newsmen that he
would have no immediate com
ments.
Police Chief Marvin Stanley
said the blast apparently was
caused by dynamite although
“it is hard to prove conclusive
ly when the evidence is gone.”
Stanley said it appeared that
only a small amount of dyna
mite was used and that it was
placed against a brick wall in
' a carport outside the kitchen.
The blast caused no structur-
■ al damage to the house but re
sulted in considerable minor
damage inside, shattering win
dows, shaking dishes off shelves
and knocking- furniture around.
Mrs. Johnson, who has been
a widow about a year, was up
stairs watching television at the
time.
A next door neighbor said the
elder Johnsons had received so
many threats about two years
ago that they had to change
■ phone numbers and for a pe
riod police guarded the house.
Johnson, whose district in
cludes Montgomery, recently
presided over a court which or
dered the complete desegrega
tion of Alabama public schools
by next fall.
He attended law school with
Wallace and the two were once
close friends, falling out later
over desegregation decisions.
Wallace has described Johnson
as a “carpetbagger,” a “scala-
I nraer >’ and A “HaJ*.”
