But when he oi dered one sizable group to scat-te- r, Scotty rea cGregor fused to budge. So, Crenshaw arrested him for disordetly conduct. Public streets aie for public e and I was just rSImrr s anding there on the comer with some friends, Scotty glowered. Maybe it was different back in olden times when that King of Scotland put MacGregor clansmen to death if more than four of them got together. But this is a free country and Crenshaw had no reason to make us scram. Of course, I had a reason. Our city ordinance says three is a crowd, and at Halloween time why take chances?

Study the evidence carefu'h. then mark your ballot before reading the couit's decision. NO ( ) YES ( ) M A miss is as good as a mile? Not quite in eases like this, because the poll itself could easily have decreed the returns. Because many New Yorkers, opposed to Linday, detuned of defeating him after reading the poll figures, and resoWed, rather than to vote for Procacctno, to vote for the better of Mr. Lindsays two adversaries, John J.Iarchi, If they had thought there had been any chance at all to beat Lindsay, theyd have stuck to Procacctno. U'-- And No Matter . . . 2. So Mr. Lindsay the liberal, won with less than 42 percent of the vote, and his two opponents, both conservative-mindegot. between them, 58 percent of the vote. No matter, the community, given to loose thought as ever, interprets the victory as one for militant urban liberalism and the hell with Vietnam. Gov. Rockefeller's overreaction is positively lurid. On the two or three important foreign policy iss'.es of the year, he and Sen. Charles Goode 11 have been at total odds: on Vietnam, on ABM, and on MIRV. When Sen. Marchi approached Rockefeller to announce that he would oppose Lindsay in the primary. Rockefeller received the news with such equanimity as to convey that any effort to unseat Lindsay would nave his blessings. Then, when Marchi beat Lindsay in the primary, Rockefeller instantly supported Marchi as the winner of the primary: more or less an act of Republican regud. larity. It turned out, however, that the governors support was purely platouic, which is less than the kind of support one wants when one is supported by Rockefeller. Not even the legendary dime. Rumor Goes Out Then, when the poll showed that Lindsay was well ahead, the rumor went out that an emissary front Rockefeller had presented himself ac Lindsay headquarters to ask whether the Lindsay people would like a hefty personal contribution from Rockefeller, the implicit premise being that the $3 million Lindsay had raised and spent was not enough to advertise to the voters the incandescence of his appeal. Then, hours after the election. Rockefeller, asked how he stood on Goodells fight for reelection in 1970, announced that Goodell was the greatest political figure since, well, since Julius Caesar. Eut surely. Governor, someone will oppose Goodell in the primary next year? Oil. I dont think so. said Mr. Rockefeller, sounding the way he Used to sound back when he was saying that he wasnt going to run for President. Poor Rockefeller. The Conservatives !n New York are dead set against him, Just Try and Stop Me By Bennett Cerf very rich lady, widely known for A her penury, called up a New York real e'tage agent recently and said she had decided to move.

Trials Answer No. Scotty may well have been as pestiferous in the eyes of Officer Crenshaw as a MacGregor in ihe eyes of King James VI three hundred years ago, commented Ohios Common Court Pleas, but merely standing still on a sidewalk and refusing to move at the command of a police officer doesn't make one a nuisance. However, under the ordinance three or more persons who waited together for a bus. stopped to discuss politics, or even looked into a store window, could be designated a crowd and conThis was victed of a misdemeanor. going too far, the court reproved.

So the Conservatives will run a candidate. who will get a million or so votes. If per impossible the Democrats can rally uehind a single candidate. instead of splitting as they did in 1906 with the Liberals, how can Rockefeller hope to Angina Sufferers Should Avoid Further Attacks win? Lindsay a Demo? And who might the Democrat rally behind? Weil. Linday. thats who. If he proceeds to join the Democratic Party, as it is widely rumored he will do. the political machine will begin to hum again in good order. Mr. Rockefeller is obviously try ing to please not only Lindsay but Lindc ays supporter, once aga.n on the general assumption that they are the majority of the voters. 3. Why do we need to pioceed with such doubts? Really, they would appear to be quite unnecessary. A century ago an election was a prodigious logistical achievement. Not any more. Why, when there are three-ma- n races, do we not indulge ourselves in the runoff, so mud. a convention in other countries? And who, and using what arguments, will oppose one? The Reform Democrats? The people are supposed to decide, are they not? Thus, in toe instant case, we would have, next week, a runoff election between Lindsay and Procaceino. And Rockefeller could have awaited the results of that election befoie being lemuided that Goodell was tiie gieatest senator since Cato the Elder.

There had, he observed, been "an increasing indication in decisions of the Supieme Court of the United States that, as a secular matter, a woman's liberty andnght of privacy extends to family, martiage and sex matters, and may well include the right to remove an unwanted child, at least in the early stages of pregnancy. Tragic Tangle of Laws Whether the federal Congiess and the Supreme rouit would leave the question of abort'on to whatever teartsr.s seemed lito the satisfactory competent censed practicioner of medicine and his patient, however, is still tinder serious debate. Most of the states that have liberalized their abortion laws are less lenient. In general, they approve abortion if the pregnancy would impair the physical or mental health of the woman, risk mental or physical defect in the child, or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. Nevertheless, Judge Gesell's decision lias brought the controversy to the duois of the highest court, where it ntay finally be judged without the same political piesuies that have toleiated the pre-eunequal dangerous and trag.c tangle of clinics. state laws and back-roont (Copyright) Angina suifereis should avoid hurrying, sudden stiaiu, u.uuvustomed physical exertion, nervous tension, and emotional upsets of all kinds.

No doubt there are sensitive human and religious questions involved in this fundamental personal issue, but the current conditions are well known. The abortion mills are among the most ghoulish and lucrative rackets in this country. They favor the rich who can pay the high fees. Many of them are run by men and women who are neither competent nor licensed, often under the control of the most notorious racketeers, and therefore dangerous to the life of the patient, and rspect for law in the community.
