Wallace to undergo sixth surgery in Md. shooting case
Gov. George C. Wallace will have a sixth operation related to wounds from a failed assassination attempt. His aide says the surgery is not serious or mandatory and could be done any time with no date set. A physician notes the procedure relates to a prostate enlargement affecting urine flow, a condition not uncommon in older men. Wallace, 53, has had five prior surgeries since being shot May 15 at Laurel, Maryland, to control abdominal infections, which doctors say have cleared.

The Church of the New Song, founded in December 1970 at Marion federal penitentiary by Harry W. Theriault, 35, a convicted bank robber, sought equal treatment with established denominations. Prison officials and Illinois courts denied privileges while a U.S. District Court in Atlanta ruled last February that prisoners must receive similar rights, though requests for steak and sherry as ritual items were denied.
