A federal judge in the District of Columbia dismissed two lawsuits seeking 12.7 million dollars from Senator Birch Bayh and aide Robert Keele. Plaintiffs Harry Fawcett and George Manuel, former officers of two Indianapolis trusts, faced prior mail fraud charges tied to bankruptcy. Final sentencing for the two is set for April 30.
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee approved a bill by Sen. John Harmer to require a tally of abortions. It was amended to bar publication of women's names and moves to the Senate Finance Committee for approval, with chair Sen. Anthony Beilenson promising no disclosure of patient identities.
Florida Senate judiciary committee backed a bill to combat robberies by using a snake or other wild animal. Senator John Bell of Fort Lauderdale sponsors the measure making it a felony to display, use or attempt to use a vicious animal to commit a felony with penalties up to five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
