United Press International
NEW YORK — Birth control
pills kill 500 of their 10 million
American users annually, a new
report on risks and benefits of
current contraceptive methods
said Wednesday.
The study, “Making
Choices,” estimated about 30 die
annually from complications of
tubal sterilization, 30 from use
L of the intra-uterine-device, and
115 from trouble linked to abor
tion.
Deaths from complications of
pill use could be cut to about 70
if no pill users smoked and if
none took the pill after her 35th
birthday, said Dr. Howard W.
Ory, epidemiologist at the Cen
ters for Disease Control and an
author of the report.
Despite deaths and other
''omplications due to contracep
tion, the report said unwanted
pregnancy and childbearing
E ose a greater risk to a woman’s
fe and health than the use of
any currently available birth
control method.
More than half of all Amer
ican couples want no more than
two children and most women,
as a result, spend an average of
25 to 30 years of their adult lives
trying to avoid pregnancy, the
report said.
If health were the only con
sideration, a woman’s safest
course would be to start with the
pill and continue with that
method for four years (to get
maximum protection against
ovarian cancer), have the num
ber of children she desires by
her mid-twenties, and then per
suade her husband to have a
vasectomy, the authors said.
The Alan Guttmacher Insti
tute, a research affiliate of Plan
ned Parenthood Federation of
America, published the study
funded by the Commonwealth
Fund, the Rockefeller Founda
tion and Needmor Fund.
Pill-related deaths are offset
by the pill-related prevention of
an estimated 850 deaths from
ovarian cancer each year among
users, the report said. The ex
ceptions: use of the pill by
women over 40 and by women
over 35 who smoke.
Side effects from the pill put
9,400 in hospitals each year. An
estimated 9,600 others also are
hospitalized as a result of trou
ble connected with HJDs. The
most common is pelvic inflam
matory disease.
Complications from steriliza
tion, surgical and permpnent
birth control, causes additional
hospitalization for 32,000
women annually. And some
5,000 of the 1.6 million who
obtain legal abortions each year
suffer major complications.
The report estimated that a
woman using no method of con
traception from age 17 to 44
could theoretically expect to
have 14.3 births or 31.2 abor
tions, and a woman using the pill
would have 0.2 unwanted or un
intended births and 0.3 abor
tions.
Woman may be
death row first
United Press International
SALT LAKE CITY — New
Vork socialite Frances Bernice
Schreuder will become the first
woman occupant of Utah’s
death row if a jury decides to
send her before a firing squad
for masterminding the murder
of her wealthy father.
Schreuder, 45, was convicted
of first-degree murder in the
1978 slaying of auto parts mag
nate Franklin James Bradshaw,
76. Jurors delivered the verdict
late Tuesday and were sche
duled to return Oct. 3 to issue a
sentence.
The heiress faces death by
firing squad or life in prison.
Schreuder, a socialite and
member of the New York City
Ballet board of directors, turned
pale but otherwise showed no
emotion when the verdict was
read.
Prosecutor Ernie Jones said
the surprise testimony of her
convicted killer son, Marc, led to
the guilty verdict. Young
Schreuder told the jury his
mother ordered him to kill her
father in 1978 because she
feared the multi-millionaire
would cut her out of his will.
Marc was 17 when the elderly
businessman was gunned down
in one of his Salt Lake City area
auto parts stores.
Jones said he would seek the
death sentence. Utah has ex
ecuted 45 men — the last of
whom was Gary Gilmore on Jan.
17, 1977. A woman has never
been sent to Utah’s death row.
“We are extremely pleased
with the verdict,” Jones said.
“You’re always worried. As a
prosecutor, you never know
what’s important to a jury.”
Defense attorney Michael
Rosen declined comment,
saying he was under the judge’s
orders not to talk about the case
due to next Monday’s penalty
hearing.
In closing arguments, Jones
said Schreuder almost pulled off
“the perfect crime.” Her only
flaw was to cheat a long-time
friend, Richard Behrens, out of
$3,700, the prosecutor said.
Behrens testified he hid the
murder weapon for the heiress
until the two had an argument
about $3,700 she stole from a
bank account they shared.

; SAN ANTONIO — Former
I President Gerald Ford Wednes
day joined a list of prominent
Republicans calling for the res
ignation of James Watt in the
wake of the interior secretary’s
wisecrack about a coal advisory
panel.
Ford, in San Antonio for play
in the Texas Open golf tourna
ment, told reporters he believed
Watt’s remark was “irresponsi
ble” and harmful to President
Reagan.
The former president was di
recting his comments to Watt’s
remark last week that a coal
advisory board was made up of a
“black, a woman, two Jews and a
cripple.”
“I think the decision is up to
Mr. Watt,” Ford said. “The com
ment was very irresponsible, I
think in bad taste.
“In my opinion, Mr. Watt
ought to realize he is a burden to
the president and he ought to
take action to relieve the presi
dent of that burden.”
