HOUSE BABY DOE-By a vote of 182 for and 231 against, the House rejected an amendment to delete tough "Baby Doe" provisions from the federal child abuse law Right-to-life groups applauded the vote. Proponents of the amendment did not want the child abuse broadened to cover parents who allow their newly-born child to die because it has life-threatening handicaps. They said the civil rights of sich infants already are protected by Department of wealth and Human Services regualtions. Defeat of the amendment left intact a new requirement that determine whether parents in Baby Doe cases can be charged with child abuse when they choose death for their seriously h»nrtinapp»H baby. The overall bill (HR1904) was sent to the Senate. Supporter James Quillen. D-Tenn . said "the inevitable agony will be less if these decisions are left with the families involved." Opponent Henry Hyde. R-flL, said "you would not starve a yellow dog in your basement to death without the cruelty society prosecuting you." Members voting no wanted greater federal and state power to keep severely handicapped babies alive. Illinois - Voting no: Philip Crane R-12. RATES-The House passed, 288 for and 113 against, a bill (HR 555 ) preventing utilities from automatically requiring consumers to help pay for a new power plant during construction of the facility. This would void a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission policy under which utilities can raise rates to recover one-half the cost of fmanriiig a project that is not yet completed. j The bill, which was sent to the Senate, stipulates that any pass- throughs to consumers during construction are to be determined by the commission on a case-by-case basis. Supporter Richard Ottinger. D-N. Y., said it was wrong to shift the The impact of March primaries The word from some Democratic presidential candidate camps is that a reassessment of their chances will be made as early as Feb. 29-the day after the New Hampshire primary. Several candidates are now in the red. and at least one may withdraw after New Hampshire. Though there was a Republican primary in Puerto Rico on Feb. 19, and caucuses in Iowa, the first of the state primaries is in New Hampshire After that, there's a G O P only primary in Verm- mont March 6. the March 11 primaries (Alabama. Florida, Georgia. Massachusetts and Rhode Island-plus Alsaka for Democrats only). After the Illinois primary March 20. the field might have narrowed (there's a Democratic only primary in Puerto Rico (Ml March 18) the twenty-seventh is the Connecticut primary.

SENATE EVIDENCE-The Senate pnssrri, 88 tor and M against, and sent to the Houae a bill (S 1764) whose effect is to soften the Constitution's prohibition of unreaaonafaie searches and aefc--iei In federal f '*fngn. judges snd nnigiwli ale i admit illegally seiaed evidence if police had a "reasonable, good-faith belief" they acted properly in This would eaae the "nrhisinnsry rtde" that requires judges to bar illegally obtained evidence. Critics say die rule sometimes permits known criminals to go free on what they call "technicalities." Supporter Don Nicides, R-Otia, said the bill "will help restore the balance between the righta of an accused and of the public to a fair trial." Opponent Dale Bumpers, D-Aik., said the U.S. legal system's absolute ban on unreasonable search and seizure 'is the thing that sets this country apart from the Soviet Union and every other totalitarian government in the world." Senators voting yes wanted federal judges to be able to waive the exclusionary rule in certain criminal proceedings. Illinois-Alan Dixon, D, voted yea. Chartea Percy, R, did not vote. TAPDW*--By a veto of 41 for sad St apriNSl* (lie Senate rejected an amendment to ban government officials other than law en­ forcement intriKyw» personnel from secretly taping their telephone conversations. The amnwuimwrtyyf dfcwd to a crime-control bill (S17620) that later was sent to the Houae. It was prompted by disclosures that Charles Wick, head of the U.S. Information Agency, had secretly teuaded his calk. Although he had done nothing illegal, Wick pubiidy apologized for his actions. Sponsor Howard Metzenbaum, IHXrio, said that "from Watergate to Charlie Wick to other inshmres of taping. Congress has failed to address this problem" ' Opponent Strom Thurmond, R-SX., called die amendment 'ill- prepared" and said it should be studied in committee rather than hurriedly attached to the pending crime bill Senators voting yes wanted to outlaw the secret taping oi telephone calls by government officials except those in intelligence and law enforcement TTHnois-Dixon voted yes. Percy voted no. An Editorial Citizen rights in video taping The recent surprisingly ckwe Supreme Court decision allowing private home owners to use their video taping machines as they wished is a fn--imMi victory. The court confirmed a legal bar against use of the madmes for commercial use - already against the law. The issue now goes to Congress. But there stems little chance Congress will act in favor of the film industry - against the interest of the miiK™* of private citizens whs own video tap recorders. The W decision show show dose the movie and film industry came to finding a new way to get into the pockets of the average American. One can imagine the chaos and mnftisim which would have been caused by attempts to ban any private home video recording That wasn 't possible, so the film industry sought to put a surcharge on all tapes, and perhaps, all recorders. That the court so narrowly prevented this is mkffy disturbing. n I M r _ B ncnenry j in amdealer sa . y , , | , | i , , , 1J •Winy nwryiy (USPS 335-200) Established 1S7S 3812 W«*tElm Street Published Every Wednesday t Eridoy at McHenry Illinois Second Class Postage PAID at McHenry.
