Exxon Withdraws Support from L B Sohio Pipeline Plan
Exxon Pipeline Co. told Long Beach officials it is withdrawing financial backing for the Sohio pipeline carrying Alaska crude from Prudhoe Bay to Texas.

Harbor officials and Sohio executives express disappointment but expect the project to proceed, noting Alaska North Slope output began flowing the same day.

Court limits state abortion funding and hospital duties
The Supreme Court ruled states have no duty to fund abortions when mothers are not endangered and public hospitals may refuse to provide elective abortions for those who cannot pay. Connecticut and Pennsylvania limits on public money were upheld, as was a St Louis ban on using funds for nontherapeutic abortions. The ruling prompted St Louis to pause such services while officials review the decision. The Senate appropriations panel moved to strike a House ban on federal funds for abortions, scheduling another vote.
