WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su-
E reme Court began scrutinizing a
an on abortion counseling at feder
ally subsidized family planning clin
ics Tuesday in arguments punc
tuated by pointed questions from
new Justice David H. Souter and fel
low members.
Souter voiced doubts about regu
lations that bar doctors and family
planning counselors from discussing
abortion even with women whose

“You are telling us the physician
cannot perform his usual profes
sional responsibility,” Souter told So
licitor General Kenneth Starr, the
Bush administration’s top court
room lawyer. “You are telling us the
secretary (of Health and Human
Services) in effect may preclude pro
fessional speech.”
Starr, conceding the ban “tilts
against abortion,” defended its val
idity.
Although fueled by the continu
ing struggle over abortion, the legal
dispute over the regulations centers
on free-speech rights. The court
must decide whether the regulations
comply with a 1970 federal law and,
if so, whether they violate the Con
stitution.
A decision is expected by July.
The argument is over information
available to the 5 million low-income
women who depend on family plan
ning clinics and similar health care
providers.
Last year, some 4,000 family plan
ning clinics nationwide received
about $140 million in federal assis
tance.
Enforcement of the regulations,
issued by the Reagan administration
in 1988, has been blocked virtually
everywhere by legal challenges.

Commerce report fails to dissuade analysts
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy
grew at a faster-than-expected 1.8 percent rate in
the third quarter, the government said Tuesday,
but the report failed to dissuade many analysts
who believe the economy is entering a recession.
The Commerce Department report on the
gross national product showed that consumers
buying cars and other items had continued to
drive the longest peacetime economic expansion
in U.S. history through September. Whether the
expansion reaches its eighth anniversary in No
vember was a matter of debate.
“This release contradicts those who believe we
are in a recession or are about to enter one,”
Commerce Undersecretary Michael R. Darby
told reporters. His boss, Commerce Secretary
Robert Mosbacher, added in San Antonio, “I
hope all the doom-sayers and nay-sayers and
cluck-cluckers go back in their holes for a while.”
“I believe we’re in a recession,” economist
Bruce Steinberg of Merrill Lynch Capital Mar
kets in New York said. “I think that most of the
things showing strength in the third quarter will
be weak in the fourth, particularly consumer
spending.”
Robert G. Dederick, chief economist for the
Northern Trust Co. in Chicago, also believes the
economy is declining this quarter. He contended
that much of the GNP strength “was concen
trated early in the quarter. It is by no means cer
tain that it was growing 1.8 when the quarter
ended.” Indeed, Michael Boskin, chairman of
Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, said.
“While this is pleasant news about the third quar
ter, we are concerned about a sluggish fourll
quarter and the early part of 1991.”
He added that he “was certainly pleased ” will
the Federal Reserve’s action Monday in pushing
down a key short-term interest rate, a move that
might be expected to boost economic growth

Oil earnings statements
defend profiteering charge
NEW YORK (AP) — The petro

reap a third-quarter windfall from
the Persian Gulf crisis, a leading
trade group said Tuesday in a de
fense of Big Oil against charges of
profiteering.

double- and triple-digit increases®
profits at some companies to double
digit decreases at others.
“The third-quarter earnings
statements released by several oil
companies show that oil companies
have not gouged the public,” Ameri
can Petroleum Institute President
Charles J. DiBona said at a press
briefing.
DiBona said total operating in
come was unchanged from the third
quarter of 1989 and below the same
period in 1988, based on reports
from 18 top U.S. petroleum compa
nies.
Industry earnings were actually

ple, reported a 440.5 percent in'
crease in earnings, based largdjP

DiBona said.
In response to the API report,
some industry foes still contend^
the companies were taking advan
