Mrs. Quinlan
fled in tears
MORRISTOWN, N.J. (UPI)
— When the neurologist de
scribed how her comatose
daughter Karen Ann writhes in
reaction to pain, it was too
much for Mrs. Julia Quinlan.
Tears streaming down her
cheeks, she fled the courtroom.
Mrs. Quinlan was trying
again today to do what she
could not Tuesday— explain
again why she wants Karen
severed from a machine that is
keeping her alive.
Mrs. Quinlan abruptly left the
courtroom Tuesday when the
neurologist, Dr. Julius Korein,
described how Karen twists and
turns in reaction to pain.
Karen has been in a coma
since April 14 when she took a
combination of drugs and
alcohol. She has continued to
function with the help of a life
respirator.
Doctors say there is no
chance Karen will regain
consciousness, and the Quinlan
family wants the machine
turned off to allow her to die
naturally.
But attorneys for the state
say that would be homicide.
Paul Armstrong, the Quin
lans’ attorney, told Superior
Court Judge Robert Muir Jr.
Mrs. Quinlan would give
“extensive” testimony on why
the family wants to remove
Karen from the machine.
“She’s going to die anyway,”
said Joseph Quinlan, Karen’s
foster fattier. He said Karen
should be allowed to die
naturally and return to the
“loving hands of the Lord.
“It is just a matter of time
until Karen dies. Finally I
became convinced that He
(God) was going to take
Karen,” said Quinlan, gray
suited, ruddy-faced and show
ing little emotion.
“The whole family was in
agreement that the machine
should be turned off and that
Karen be allowed to return to a
natural state,” he said.
Quinlan, an assembly line
mechanic for a pharmaceutical
firm, said he and his wife

Public hearing
on ‘blue law’
ATLANTA (UPI) - A joint
legislative committee studying
constitutional problems of “blue
laws” will hold a public hearing
at the Capitol Thursday night to
hear from merchants who want
to stay open and church groups
who want businesses closed on
Sundays.
An attorney from Attorney
General Arthur Bolton’s office
will brief the three Senators
and three House members on
constitutional issues involved in
the controversy.
Bolton recently issued an
informal legal opinion saying it
may be impossible to write a
Rep. Scott shifts
on gun legislation
ATLANTA (UPI) - State
Rep. David Scott, giving up his
long fight to register handguns,
will propose a bill today to
license pistol owners and
require a 10-day “cooling-off
period” for handgun purchases.
Scott, an Atlanta Democrat
whose gun-control proposals
were shunted into a study
committee during the 1974
legislative session, wrote to
fellow legislators Tuesday say
ing he would pressent his
revamped gun bill in a speech
at a YMCA luncheon today. He
enclosed copies of his bill,
along with an analysis of major
facets of the proposal.
“I am the first to say that I
don’t have all the answers, but
I am putting forth some ideas
on this issue,” Scott said in his
letter.
“None of us is perfect, but we
all must try to deal effectively
with this issue of guns,” he
said. “I ask for your help and
advice. I hope together we can
perfect a workable bill.”

The joint committee was
created early this year when
the Georgia Supreme Court

held that the law was dis

Labor proposes
$3 minimum wage
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
AFL-CIO told Congress today a
$3 an hour minimum wage, an
increased pay rate for overtime
and a shorter work week would
help solve the current problem
of high unemployment.
Andrew Biemiller, AFL-CIO
legislative director, said in
testimony prepared for a House
labor subcommittee that the
labor federation endorses a bill
that would increase the mini
mum wage to $3 an hour on
Jan. 1, 1977, then allow it to
rise with the cost of living.
He said the AFL-CIO also
wants Congress to require
double pay for overtime beyond
to see it resolved once and for
all,” said Sen. Steve Reynolds,
D-Lawrenceville, the Senate
chairman of the blue law study
committee.
“Public interest in this issue
has been building so tremen
dously that we”re going to give,
the people and businessmen an
opportunity to appear before
the committee to express their
views,” he said.
Reynolds said the Hunter
Street entrance to the Capitol
will be left open after hours for

a 40-hour week, overtime for
more than eight hours of work
a day and a shortening of the
standard 40-hour week.
“We believe that a $3
minimum wage, increased pe
nalty pay for overtime work,
and a shorter work week and
work day will not only insure a
decent wage for the minimum
wage worker and his family,
but will help to reverse the
unemployment figures which
now appear to be leveling off at
the disastrous level of almost
8.5 per cent ... ,” Biemiller
said.
