Judge Sweigert said the 14 months of p re tn a l incarceration have not hurt M is s D a v is ’ a bility to prepare fo r her defense. He added, however, that the lengthy time she has spent in ja il “ comes close to denial of the right to speedy tria l, denial of due process and, perhaps even c iu e l and un usual punishment. Angela, appearing thin after H months in ja il, appealed personally to the judge to free her on hail during her forth coming tria l on murder charg es. Her 10-mmute argument, to which she was entitled as her own co-counsel, was sup ported by a law professor at Stanford U niversity who told Judge Sweigert that the charge against.MissDaviswas “ the flim sie s t case - letalone c a p i t a l case - 1 have e v e r seen.” Miss Davis told the judge that the refusal of the state to grant her bail while she awaits tria l January 31, on charges in the 1970 M ann County Court house shootings was “ more a political gesture than a le gal gesture." Her confinement “ severely erodes my presumption of in nocence," she said. A lbert W. H a rris , the state prosecutor, said the 27-year old black m ilita n t was being treated " in the same manner and under the same law as ev ery other capital casem C ali- fo rn ia ." Professor Anthony Am ster dam, representing the Amer ican C i v i l L ib e rtie sL 'n i ot^ wh.c-, ta supporting Miss : <a- vis on the bail issue, argued that a C alifornia law deny tng b a i l to capital defendants where “ the proof isevidentor th e presumption g re a t" v i o lates the United StatesConsti- tution. The hearing was conducted in the Federal Court Building. M iss Davis was brought from P a lo A Ito, 35 m i le s a w a y, where she is being held for the tria l scheduled in San Jose. “ 1 ask the court to enforce th e Constitution and release M iss Davis on ba il,” P r o f es- sor Amsterdam said. He said that C alifornia SuperiorCourt Judge Richard Arnason, had been “ a rb itra ry " in deciding that “ proof is evident o r the presumption great,“ in Miss D avis' case, and the state law in any event has the effect of exchanging ball fo r a “ cla s s " of defendants. He also argued that being held in ja il was ham pering M iss Davis in prepar ing her defense.

M iss Davis had previously been denied bail by the courts of C alifornia. Defense counsel w ill now appeal to the U. S Supreme C ourt. Franklin Alexander, coor dinator of the National United Committee to Free Angela Davis said, “ We recognize the courts have acted in collusion with Governor Reagan and the police forces who are framing Angela. Sowewilldemand that all Nixon appointees to the court disqualify themselves from hearing any motions on Angela's case since their poli tical sponsor, Richard Nixon, judged Angela a 'dangerous te rro ris t before she appeared in any co u rt.” There is no c u ie -a ll foi the common cold.

Family record valuable health tool E ver w is h that you had a fam ily health record, easy to re a d and complete with the facts you should have on hand? T h e National Foundation March of Dimes, In conjunc tion with the American Medi cal Association and Woman's Day magazine, has devlaei an Important new tool to m a k e keeping t r a c k of a fa m ily's medical history simple and c le a r. It Is a four page form called the Fam llyM edlcal Re cord and, when keptuptodate. It becomes a valuable d o c u ment upon which both the fam ily and physician w ill depend. It provides a quick, compre hensive p ro file o fe a c h fa m- lly member's health status as well as a record of possible contributing factors In certain conditions. T h e Record, accompanied by an a rticle by D r. V irginia Apgar, the Foundation's vice- president fo r medical affairs, appears in the January issue o f Woman's D a y , currently available. Ideally, the Medical Record should be started b e fo r e a couple m a rrie s, so that when the woman becomes pregnant, or even before, h e rd o cto rw tll a lr e a d y have information about her health history and PORTLAND CLEANING WORKS background and t h a t of her husband, and th e ir parents, sisters and brothers. F am ily Data Since many conditions may follow a definite genetic pat tern, awareness of ad lse i se in one member of the fam ily may a le rt a doctor to early symp toms in time to avert advanced disease or d isa b ility. The age of the famllymemberwhen the disease fir s t appeared is rele vant to the type o r severity of some disorders and should be recorded. So should his or her line of work, since some occupations expose workers to environ mental factors which affect health. F o r example, i broth e r-in -la w ’ s chronic lung con dition might be related to as bestos inhaled in his work at construction sites; a siste r's m iscarriages might be related to h e r work Involving anes thetics. But it is not just poor health or disease that should be re corded on tie form . Informa tion a b o u t good health also communicates pertinent in formation to a doctor. Child Health Details ol each child's birth should be carefully note-1, as should incomplete pregnan cies brought about by m iscar riage, abortion, or s tillb irth . T h e fo im h a s Instructions about w h e n children should be vaccinated f o r rubella (German measlesj.dlphtherla, tetanus, whooping cough, po lio , regular measles, sm all pox, and ail the various boost e rs . It provides space fo r an Immunization record; peri odic physical examinations; medications; a lle ig ie s; and a record of fam ily Illnesses. "T h e importance of a Fam ily Medical Record cannot be emphasized enough," s a y s llr. Apgar. "W ith It a fam ily and Its various doctors are In a much better position to main tain good health and plan for better medical care. A recoid of ttie health of the fam ily as a whole demonsti ates responsi b ility , and being lesponsible Is an Important part In the ta ttle against congenital disease, periodic Illness and b irth de fects.” Diagnostic Tool U r. Apgar developed the widely u s e d Apgar s c o r e , which rates newborn babies' respiration, muscle tone, re flexes, heart rate and color. It Is a quick check, one minute a f t e r b i r t h , to determine whethei tie baby needs special attention In the delivery room. Sometimes this score also w ill provide a clue to gome d iffi culty the child may have later In l i f e . F o r that re a son, it should la included In the Medi cal Record. “ If th e Medical Record is faithfully kept. It canhelpwlth school, t r a v e l o r Insurance requirements and routine medical consultations, and al so can be an Invaluable diag nostic tool fo r the fam ily phy s i c i a n , " s a y s D r. Apgar. "D o cto rs have less and less time to delve Into a person's health background, and many people don’ t remember or are not equipped toanswei some of the questions the doctor does ask.
