Sherri’s Abortion
Proves Rain
\\ on Id Ha\ c Been
Born Reformed
STOCKHOLM, Sweden UP —
Mrs Sherri Finkbine’s pregnancy
was terminated by a legal abor
tion Saturday, and the doctor who
performed the operation said the
baby would have been born de
formed, as feared.
The doctor advised husband
Robert Finkbine after the 45-min
ute operation that it was apparent
the drug thalidomide, which Mrs.
Finkbine used early in her latest
pregnancy, had had its effect on
the unborn baby. He gave no de
tails. Other babies born so affect
ed have been limbless.
The doctor reported the Phoe
nix, Ariz., television performer is
in satisfactory condition after the
operation at Caroline Hospital.
Mrs. Finkbine had come to
Stockholm for an abortion, fearing
she might bear a deformed baby.
Sweden’s Royal Medical Board gave
legal sanction to the operation Fri
day on grounds that Mrs. Fink
bine's health otherwise might be
endangered.
Mrs. Finkbine and her husband
came to Sweden Aug. 4 after an
Arizona court refused to sanction
an abortion.

as a top adviser on U.S.-Soviet

SoVlVl I H ills
i Smothered With
Hugs and Kisses
MOSCOW W* — Sovit't Premier
Khrushchev hugged and kissed the
Soviet space twins and ushered
them to honors atop Lenin’s Tomb
Saturday while thousands of Mus
covites roared congratulations.
A tumultuous heroes’ weclome
—complete with red carpet, tra
ditional bouquets and Red Square
ceremony—marked the capital’s re
ception of Maj. Andrian Nikolavev
and Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich.
The Soviet Union punctuated the
celebration by announcing the loft
ing of another instrument-bear
ing satellite, presumably unman
ned, in a space research program
launched five months ago. It is
named Cosmos 8.
The astronauts flew to Moscow
from some point on the Volga.
Khrushchev embraced and kissed
them both repeatedly on the mouth
and girls bedecked them with
flowers.
Khrushchev jubilantly described
the space flights, reported to have
covered a total of almost 3 million
miles within a span of 95 hours,
as “a new stage in space explora
tion . . . another substantial step
on the way to interplanetary com
munications.”
Before Khrushchev spoke, both
the astronauts in brief speeches
declared themselves ready to take
on any new tasks.
Popovich said the group flight
was made in the interest of peace
while ‘‘across the ocean the emenies
of peace are fanning war hysteria.”
Nikolayev said he realized that
millions of people were watching
the spaceship anxiously and added:
“I didn't doubt for a minute that
the flight would end successfully.”
Khrushchev said the new Soviet
space victory is proof that reaction
ary forces in the West will never
succeed in turning back the clock
and liquidating socialism.
He took up the German question
and warned again, as he has many
times before, that the Soviet Union
will sign a separate peace treaty
w.T" Bast Germany if agreement
cannot be reached with the West
c””’ ■ ....... . ,v, r fifer t.‘. solvt:e;\
He said the Western powers are
attempting ‘‘to preserve the old oc
cupation regime in Berlin.” He
said the West argued that only
in that way could the independent
way of l:fe of the West Berliners
be preserved.
He repeated that he would sign
guarantees for West Berliners, but
was determined to end the occupa
tion regime.
Playing cards once were the di
vision only of the nobility and
were hand-painted. In 1415 the
Duke of Milan had artist Marziano
da Tartona cxcute a personal deck
of cards for him and paid him
1,500 pieces of gold for the job.

j WASHINGTON e-P The Unit;-':
States is considering broaden in:; it.,
nuclear test-ban strategy to include
a possiblf f.'rs* step of outlawing

debate shifts to the fall meeting of

agree to an unpoliced moratorium

However, they said that because
oi the apparent impasse develop- :
