Jus adopted an interim policy defining therapeutic abor
tions. The new guidelines will remain in effect until a per
manent policy is adopted by the medical staffs executive
committee, Dr. F. Miles Skultety, medical staff presi
dent, said.
The NU Board of Regents, at its Oct. 12 meeting.ban
ned non-therapeutic abortions.
o)o
That action followed the live birth of a 2-pound, 9
ounce infant during an abortion at the center. The child'
died several hours later.
' The interim policy defines a therapeutic abortion as
one necessary "to preserve the life of the mother or per
formed in those cases of rape or incest which have been
reported to the proper legal authorities."
If the attending doctor decides the mother's life is in
danger, he must get written confirmation of his judgment
from at least two other , medical staff members, the
policy says. .' -
At least one of the consultants "must be a board-certified
specialist in a discipline other than obstetrics-gyneco
logy who possesses expertise in the involved disease
process," the policy says.
A board-certified specialist has met standards of a na
tional board made up of physicians in the same area of
"medicine.
The requirement, for consultation "will not apply in
an emergency situation where there is an imminent threat
to the life of a mother."
A committee wiL review all therapeutic abortions
performed at the medical center "to assure compliance
with this policy," the statement says.
Chancellor Neal Vanselow, Hospital Administrator Ro
bert Baker and Skultety drafted the interim policy, Skul
tety said. , '
A three-member committee, made up of an obstetri
cian, a pediatrician and a psychiatrist on the medical
center's full-time staff will prepare a proposed per
manent policy to be considered by the medical staffs .
executive committee. That will take one or two months,
he said.
Skultety declined to name the committee members.
More arrests possible
OMAHA -Omaha Police said Tuesday that other
arrests may be made in connection with a raid on a foot
ball bookmaking operation that they said grossed more
than $120,000 during weekends.
Seven persons were arrested Monday, including long
time Omaha gambler Joseph Digilio, on warrants alleging
various violations of gambling laws.
Digilio, 66, has been arrested more than 60 times and
convicted 30 times on gambling charges. He was charged
this time with nine misdemeanor counts of promoting
gambling. He was free after posting $2,500 bond.
Olson said at the, time of Digiolio's arrest officers
confiscated about $1,000 in cash, several bet slips, two
telephones, an adding machine and other types of equip
ment needed for football gambling.
Olson said 25 police officers were involved in the
month-long investigation.
"We anticipate other arrests from this investigation,"
he said. Hundreds of persons and dozens of agents may be
involved in the betting ring, he said.
Interests laws challeiged
WASHINGTON-Fearful that the current credit cruncli
will dry up the flow of money for housing, farms and
businesses, the Senate is moving to override state laws

A monthly space renter said that she chose to use the
Centrum garage because it was cheaper than other rates in
town and she can use it seven days a week on her monthly
ticket.
A RETIRED BUSINESSMAN, and former employee of
the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, said that "everything
about it pleases me." He said that the entire Centrum pro
ject has achieved what the chamber had attempted to do
during his years there. He said that the Centrum has
created a "core area," and made Lincoln Center "the
trunk of the tree."
Jerry Olsen, general manager of Lincoln Transporta
tion System (LTS), said that the increase of parking
facilities, namely the Centrum, has not really hurt bus
ridership. He said that the past year has seenj 3 percent
increase in ridership.
Olsen said the Centrum will force LTS to offer a bet
ter service to compete. He also said that LTS will be
adding 13 buses in January. , , 1
Shirley Maly, employee of Car PoolVan Pool, a ser
vice that organizes pools of Lincoln commuters, said
"the situation (of Centrum parking) as far as we can tell
has had no effect." , . f .
Maly said "our program has just been leaping forward. .

that limit interest charged for loans.
Debate is continuing on a wide-ranging bill by the
Banking Committee that, among other things, would
wipe out state ceilings on home-mortgage rates.
9tner Parts of tne bill would gradually repeal federal
limits on the interest financial institutions may pay on
savings deposits and allow all federally-chartered banks,
credit unions and savings and loan associations to offer
interest-bearing checking accounts.
By a 73-13 vote, the Senate approved Monday an
amendment by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., that would
override until July 1981 laws in 15 states and constitu
tional provisions in three others that limit interest on farm
and business loans.
Unless an affected state's legislature acted to specifical
ly exempt it from the Cochran amendment, the new limit
on farm and business loans above $25,000 by state-char-

tered banks would be 5 percentage points above the
federal discount rate. That would translate to a 17 percent
ceiling under current conditions. The state ceilings range
downward from 12 percent.
This is urgently necessary," argued Sen. William
Proxmire, D-Wis., banking committee chairman. "There's
no way a state economy can prosper if the constitution or
laws mandate an interest rate below" going rates.
By voice vote, the Senate also approved an amendment
by Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., that would raise the
maximum federal insurance on savings deposits from
$40,000 per account to $50,000. Another Cranston
amendment would allow savings and loan associations to
offer credit cards, as banks do now.
The amendment affecting farm and business loans and
the provision removing state limits on mortgage interest -rates
are designed to increase credit availability for home
buyers, farmers and businessmen..
