world beat Kirkpatrick to leave U.N. WASHINGTON (AF) — After months of mystery about her future, U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick told President Ronald Reagan Wednesday she is leaving the administration. Kirkpatrick said she plans to resume teaching, writing and speaking out on foreign policy issues. She refused to say whether Reagan had offered her another job in the administration. “During four years I have not commented in public on private conversations with the president,” she said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate.’’ Kirkpatrick said she tendered her resignation to Reagan in a meeting Dec. 11, effective March 1 or sooner if a suc cessor is chosen. She said that if she had wanted “a top foreign policy job” in Reagan’s second administration, she would have re mained at the United Nations, which provides Cabinet status and "a window on the world.” But, Kirkpatrick added, she thought it was only fair that she resume her teaching post at Georgetown University, while it was still being held open for her. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said her suc cessor would chosen “as soon as possible.” He, too, refused to say if Reagan had offered her another job.

At the same time, just over half of those taking part in the poll say they would rather risk destruction of the United States than be governed by the Soviet Union. Two-thirds say the Soviets can’t be trusted to keep arms treaties and 55 percent agree with Reagan's statement that the Soviet Union is an “evil Bat the poll, conducted among 1,847 Americans from Jan. 19 through Jan. 24, also In* dicated an overwhelming ma jority of the respondents, nearly 80 percent, favor a freeze on nuclear weapons and a ban on future development of nuclear arms. The Reagan administration opposes a freeze on the grounds it could not be verified and would lock the United States in to military inferiority to the Soviet Union. In the poll, published in the newspaper Wednesday, respondents said by a 2-1 margin that a space-based defense system designed to pro tect Ihe tfnlted States from enemy missiles would likely tip the nuclear balance of power by threatening the opposing nation. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed said they would ban any Star Wars research. The poll showed a significant shift from a March 1982 survey in which 7 percent of the respondents said the United States was the strongest nation militarily, and 41 percent pick ed the Soviet Union. This time, the Times said, 25 percent picked the United States and 24 percent said the Soviet Union. Aborted fetuses will be certified if law is passed CINCINNATI (AP) — A city councilor has proposed a law that would require death cer tificates and burial or cremation for aborted fetuses. The proposed ordinance by ). Kenneth Blackwell has been fil ed with the clerk of the City Council and could go before the council as early as today. Blackwell said Tuesday that his proposal would require that "aborted human fetuses be buried, cremated or interred in a dignified and sanitary man ner, and further that the death of a fetus whose life has been terminated as the result of a surgically induced abortion be subject to the same death cer tificate requirement as stillbirths." Blackwell said his proposal would focus public attention on the abortion issue without in terfering with the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision to legalize abortion. Ann Michelini, board member of the Ohio chapter of the National Abortion Rights Action League, was critical of the proposal. “...Large numbers of pregnancies, as many as 25 percent, end in natural abortions called miscar riages in the first three mon ths," she said.
