Memorial Hospital bans on demand abortions in Carbondale
The Memorial Hospital of Carbondale board of trustees voted to modify its policy and stop performing abortions as an outpatient service. The action followed petitions from physicians and residents opposing abortions, while more than 600 community members supported the prior policy. Hospital officials say the move reflects the hospital’s role in the community and does not pass moral judgment on the issue. See Abortion, Page Five.

Japan imports push cheaper car prices but not a big plunge
Analysts forecast modest sticker-price relief as Japan increases exports to the United States by 25 percent, with cheaper models likely at least $1,000 below current levels. Consumers may see relief later as supply improves and dealer premiums have historically boosted prices.

MX debate roils over size of future missile force
Washington lawmakers weigh a 40 missile cap as Democrats seek a lean MX fleet and ease tensions with Geneva talks. The House approved 21 missiles funded at 1.5 billion dollars while Reagan pushes for 100 missiles with 10 warheads each. Supporters argue a smaller force maintains leverage in arms talks. Critics say the MX may be dead after current votes. See MX. Page Five.
