Insanity Law Change Loses In Committee
The House Judiciary Committee voted 12-10 to keep the present insanity standard and approved a compromise on habitual penalties. The panel plans final action Friday on the criminal code revision already passed by the Senate. Rep. Jack Euler said other sections would be reviewed before a full House vote.

Francine Gottfried Still Draws Crowds On Street
New York AP Francine Gottfried a 21 year old Brooklyn resident and 85 a week machine operator drew crowds of up to 15 000 last September when she appeared at a subway station daily. A springtime outing in a red sweater again halted traffic as hundreds swarmed her. She has turned down offers to strip or dance topless saying she would pose only in good taste and would like a chance to show talent perhaps as a singer like Barbra Streisand. She thanks Wall Street fans and hopes to address them from the steps of the sub Treasury building.
