Angela Allen, 22, of Dayton, gave birth Tuesday to a healthy baby girl, after she threw her two small sons into a snowbank and jumped 15 feet to save her self. She went into labor 10 min utes after the leap. “I knew I wasn’t supposed to have this baby until April,” said Allen, who was eight months pregnant. “I thought I wasn’t in labor and I had just hurt my self. e pa I kr ting harder. I knew I was in la bor then,” she said Wednesday from her hospital bed. “I was Papa’s Congratulates Team II of Company B-2 for delivering on our record night - Sun,, Mar. 4. worried. I thought maybe I had hurt my baby.” Allen was listed in good con dition at Grandview Hospital and her b^by is “doing fine,” she said. She said a buzzing smoke alarm woke her about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. She searched through her smoke-filled apartment for her sons, ages 1 and 2, and her daughter, 3. She found the boys, still asleep, and thretV them from the window' inter a snowbank that cushioned their fall. “I thought they had died from the smoke,” she said. “Then the first one hit the ground and started to cry. The second one hit and looked up with this look on his face like, ‘What happened?”’ Allen said she could hear her boyfriend calling her daugh ter’s name inside the apart ment, but she could not breathe or see and decided to jump. Allen said she “didn’t even think” about the fact she was pregnant when she jumped. Allen refused medical help when she went into labor until she learned her boyfriend and daughter also had jumped to safety. “All I was thinking about was getting my babies out,” she said.

Abortion averts deaths of mothers, expert says ll United Press International NEW YORK — Legal abortion saved 1,500 women from pregnancy-related deaths in the last 10 years and probably averted the birth of thousands of defective in fants, a family planning ex pert said Wednesday. Dr. Christopher Tietze, abortion research head at the Population Council financed by the Rockefeller Founda tion, said further legalized abortion spared thousands from pregnancy complica tions and made abortion itself safer. “The total number of preg nancy-related deaths averted over the past decade by ... by legal abortions appears to have been on the order of 1,500,” Tietze said in “Family Planning Perspectives,” jour nal of the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Dr. Jack Willke, immediate past president of the National Right to Life Committee anti a Cincinnati, Ohio, physician, responded to Tietze’s figures immediately, estimating that in the past decade nearly 16 million abortions had been performed. He said if Tietze’s 1,500 figure on lives saved was cor rect, “then it has been achieved at the horrible cost of killing nearly 16 million babies in the 10 years, for in every abortion a child is killed.” Tietze said preventing maternal deaths was just part of the story. “The number of life- threatening but not fatal, complications averted proba bly reached several tensi thousands,” he said. Referring to the number# defective infants whose I had been prevented byabo# don, Tietze took as an e\ pie the year 1982. “The number of abonit® performed m 1982 on theta sis of prenatal diagnosis lit have been on the ordeH 1,500 or one-tenth ol percent of all U.S. legal abm lions during that year. ol those abortions avertedi major catastrophe for a Ian ily," Tietze said “The death rate from ate lion would be eight lirfir higher than it is now Iff Supreme Court of the Unit States had not legalized ate don in 1973," Tietze added United Pn Low tuilk Satellite rescue considered id umversii itmenl for rher educa foi millions United Press International HOUSTON — The Hughes Aircraft Corporation is consid ering a plan to rescue two $75 million satellites that were left in useless orbits following their launch from the space shuttle in February, a spokesman said Wednesday.
