Clifford Trow of Corvallis and Rod Monroe of Portland Roberts and Trow are teachers at state universities, and Monroe is a high school instruc tor. Fadeley didn't name any Republicans to one of the 14 panels he appointed Monday, the Trade and Economic Development Committee That prompted criticism from Senate GOP Leader Tony Meeker of Amity He said the party especially deserves representation on that com mittee because it's a permanent panel that func tions year round unlike most committees, which go out of business when the Legislature adjourns Fadeley told reporters he wasn't aware that he hadn't given a committee slot to the Repub licans, who are outnumbered 21-9 in the Senate Meeker later met with Fadeley and afterward said Fadeley told him the lack of a GOP member on the panel was an oversight. Fadeley pledged to consider changing the committee lineup. Meeker said Justice Blackmun wears abortion tag WASHINGTON (AP) — 'Author of the abor tion decision,” Harry Blackmun said softly and slowly as if re-studying the phrase We all pick up tags I'll carry this one to my grave ' When the Supreme Court legalized abortion 10 years ago, it used Blackmun's words, carving his inevitable niche in American history "I knew it was a no-win case, but I didn't ask for the (opinion-writing) assignment,' Blackmun said in a rare on-the-record interview ' I am mildly annoyed at those, law professors included, who personalize it It was a decision of the court, not my decision There were seven votes,” Blackmun said of the landmark ruling in a case entitled Roe vs Wade Nevertheless, most of the estimated 45.000 letters since delivered to the Supreme Court's marble temple on Capitol Hill have been ad dressed to Blackmun We still receive eight, nine or 10 letters a day, " he said "Some are very supportive, very lovely messages But most are very abusive The more recent ones are as abusive as the initial ones." Ignoring the advice of fellow justices against reading such mail, Blackmun says: “I want to know what the people who wrote are thinking ” They have called him a murderer, a butcher, even Pontius Pilate They have compared him to the Nazi overseers of genocide On occasion, as recently as last year on the campus of the University of Georgia, his speaking appearances have been picketed A devout Methodist. Blackmun has read letters of condemnation sent to him by Methodist clergymen "I'd be less than candid if I said it does not hurt, but not as much anymore,” he said People misunderstand I am not for abortion I hope my family never has to face such a decision " Blackmun is convinced, however, that the Supreme Court was on solid legal ground when it ruled that a woman's constitutional right of privacy includes the right to end an unwanted pregnancy "I still think it was a correct decision We were deciding a constitutional issue, not a moral one." he said Reagan s son Ron hangs up his tu-tu NEW YORK (AP) - Ron Reagan, the son of Pres Ronald Reagan, has quit the Joffrey Ballet and plans to retire from dancing "to pursue other inter ests." a spokeswoman for the ballet company said Monday Reagan's departure came less than a month before the start of rehearsals for a national tour that begins at the Kennedy r Center in Washington on Feb 22, according to Rima Cohe, the spokeswoman "We are sorry that he will not be continuing as a dancer." said Robert Joffrey, director ot the ballet "We have believed he had the capabilities for a career since he first came to the Joffrey Ballet School as a scholarship student on July 2, 1979 In October Reagan, 24, at tracted national attention when it was learned he was collecting unemployment Hours before his father told the nation on TV that economic recovery was coming, his son was photographed standing in line at the state unemployment office at Sixth Avenue and 20th Street in Manhattan Concerned About Your Career Choice?
