Tearful plea as abortion bill falls in Michigan Senate
In Lansing the lone woman in the Michigan Senate, Mrs. N Lorraine Beebe, delivered a tearful plea for a bill to legalize abortion in cases of rape or incest or threats to the mother's health. The measure failed 17 to 16 with 20 votes needed, as backers move it back to committee for fall or early next year action. Beebe shared her own therapeutic abortion history and urged senators to consider women's autonomy, while opponents warned against changing abortion laws.

Planned US noncommercial TV broadcasting push riling lawmakers
The piece discusses a proposed grand plan for the United States to enter television broadcasting without commercials. It notes England’s experience, cites a preliminary 23 million year appropriation for a two-year span ending June 30, 1969, and mentions talks of long term financing around 120 million kopecks annually. Proposals include a sales tax on TV sets, rising from 2 to 5 percent, and taxes on commercial broadcasters to aid noncommercial rivals. It questions the political neutrality of the educational corporation and critiques congressional zeal.

Sound contract hinges on loser-on-loser play in bridge
North and South may push to reach the game but the contract is sound if South uses loser-on-loser play to exploit dummy's third trump. East covers partner's king with ace of diamonds and returns the suit, West wins a second and third diamond, and a South misplay could allow East to overruff and force further losses, including a club trick.
