Currently, he is reading a nov el, “Love Story,” by Erich Segal. "They could have left out some of that yea, yea language, but it’s a beautiful story,” he says. Linda Teixeira is 24 years old and blind. Currently she is enjoying a new dictionary, but she finger-glanced quickly over a new copy of Play boy magazine and said, “This sounds interesting — I’m going to have to read this.” They read their books and mag azines in braille and by listening to records and magnetic tapes. They are two of the 200,000 persons across the country who are enrolled in the Library of Congress service for the blind and handicapped which marks its 40th anniversary this month. It started out with a $100,000 budget and now is a $7.5-million- a-year-operation. The library estimates there are 500,000 blind persons in this country and 1.5 million more who are physically handicapped so that they are unable to handle, hold or turn the pages of printed books and magazines. They too are eligible for the service, which is free, including postage. Only bulky books were avail able when Congress authorized the service in 1931. Linda’s dic tionary, for example, has 36 vol umes that take up a five-tiered bookcase. More and more, the library now is putting books and magazines on discs and magnetic tapes, re corded by professional actors and volunteers.

Gulf of Tonkin bill misled him, Herbert says SAN ANTONIO <A>) — The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Wednes day he would not have voted for the historic Gulf of Tonkin Reso lution, if he had known there would be “no effort to win” in Vietnam. Rep. Edward Hebert, D-La., said he voted for the resolution and, “I knew damn well what I was voting for. I was voting for a declaration of war as far as I was concerned.” The Tonkin Resolution ap proved in 1964, gave the presi dent power to “take all necessary measures” to repel armed attacks against U. S. forces arid “prevent further aggression.” It was a key point in U. S. action in Viet- “If I had known for one sec ond,” Herbert told a news con ference, “that they were going to take our American boys and troops and -send them to slaugh ter over there with no effort to win, I never would have voted for it.” Here for a speech Wednesday, Hebert also asserted the United States is “never going to have an all volunteer army.” “It’s not feasible, he said, adding that the recent draft call was the highest of the year. “This doesn’t indi cate we’ll have an all-volunteer army,” he said.

Travel chairman Gary Martin of Houston said applications and signup for interviews are avail able in the Student Program Of fice. He noted that overseas loan fund assistance is available to any student desiring help for overseas travel, whether through one of the committee’s regular programs or for independent travel. “These are long-term, non-in terest loans usually payable in small monthly installations after graduation,” Martin said. Size of the loan will depend upon finan cial position and need. Loans are made primarily to students participating in the Ex periment in International Living, International Association for the Exchange of Students for Tech nical Assistance (IAESTE), Op eration Crossroads Africa and Amigos de los Americas. Martin pointed out that some participants applied through the Travel Committee and others on their own for summer travel pro grams. In both instances, he said, the student must make contact for Overseas Loan Fund assist- THE ONLY KNOWN human to survive a confirmed case of rabies, Matthew Winkler, 7, of Lima, Ohio enjoys a kitchen snack at his home.

(AP Wirephoto) More liberal abortion statute presented to Texas Senate AUSTIN <A>) _ A licensed physician could perform an abor tion with the written consent of Electronic news service for TV, radio advocated ANN ARBOR, Mich. WP> — Establishment of a nationwide electronic news service to provide broader television and radio cov erage was proposed Wednesday by Fred Friendly, former CBS News president. Television news suffers from overexposure and underdevelop ment, Friendly said, “due to an awkward and often archaic sys tem of news gathering which fav ors bulk footage and costly dupli cation.” Friendly made his comment in a lecture prepared for the Uni versity of Michigan Department of Journalism. He is now Ed ward R. Murrow professor of journalism at Columbia Univer sity and an adviser on. television in the Ford Foundation’s office of public broadcasting. A nationwide electronic news service — patterned after The Associated Press and other ma jor wire services — would main tain the current volume of cov erage of urgent news, Friendly said, and at the same time would free correspondents and camera men for enterprise assignments. Such assignments, he said, “are the very essence of compre hensive, truly competitive journ alism.” A spokesman for the American Broadcasting Co. said his net work viewed the proposal as “im practical and unworkable and re duces the number of news sources available to use and thus would not benefit the public.” A National Broadcasting Co. spokesman maintained that “we do a great deal of pool cover age already” and said network officials would wait until they had read the speech before mak ing further comments. Officials at the Columbia Broadcasting System were not available for comment.

Sixteen of the 19 students who completed the course rang up a total of 34 sales to 17 different magazines.

The bill also provides for writ ten consent of a parent or guard ian if the pregnant woman is un married and younger than 16 years of age and parent, husband or guardian if the woman is men tally incompetent. Sens. Tom Creighton of Min eral Wells and Don Kennard of Fort Worth sponsor the legisla tion, which was referred to Ken- nard’s Public Health Committee. A federal court in Dallas has held that the Texas abortion laws “are written as to deprive single women and married persons of the opportunity to choose wheth er to have children.” It held the state laws were vague and indefinite. That de cision, by a three-judge panel, is on appeal. Riflemen win NRA sectional match at UH A&M’s rifle team rearranged its trophy case last week to make room for more awards.
