More Anti- Anti-Abortionists Jailed After Protests In Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) Anti-abortion demonstrations at three clinics landed 69 more activists behind bars Saturday, joining more than 120 others already in jail from previous demonstrations who have refused to identify themselves to police. Fifty -three members of Rescue" were arrested at Midtown Hospital, 12 at the Atlanta Women's Medical Center on the northside and four at the Atlanta SurgiCenter in midtown, said Tom Poco*ck, deputy director of the Atlanta Bureau of Corrections.
The clinics are three of seven in the area licensed to perform abortions. In Florida, 133 anti-abortion demonstrators were arrested Saturday at Tallahassee and charged with misdemeanor trespass, police said. Except for two men jailed for resisting arrest without violence, and three juveniles released to social workers, all had bonds set at $100. But only four were released by late -DuVal Hackett Florist 107 W. Parrish Howerton Bryan FUNERAL HOME 682-5464 Cambridge Repossesses Cemetery Plots CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
(N. Y. Times) Deirdre Morris, a Cambridge, illustrator who follows civic affairs, has spent hours in the Cambridge cemetery during the past three years, learning about the history of the city and its residents. She also has learned that in the past 40 years Cambridge has shoved the remains of thousands of people deeper into the grave, sold the space created above and buried the newly dead above the old bones. She said she stumbled upon the city policy when she found the grave marker of one of the displaced, Samuel Hamilton, a 19th-century Cambridge glassworker, in a trash bin.
It seems that in 1948, Cambridge officials, worried about the limited amount of space; available in a 66-acre cemetery, began "reclaiming" the graves of people whose grave sites had not been purchased from the city. "The key is ownership," said Ralph Dunphy, superintendent of Cambridge Cemetery. "Obvi-: ously if you own something, there is nothing we can do with it. Ownership is forever." Dunphy said the city's policy, was challenged in court in 1976.3 The city won. Morris said calls to other cities in the area, including Boston, Medford and Arlington, uncovered no other city with such a graveyard policy.
"The graveyard is sort of the common person's shout of history," she said. "That's the only place we are going to be known. It's our way of showing we existed." R.I. Residents Find -J Day Offensive, Fun And Patriotic PROVIDENCE, R.I. (N.Y.
Times) When Rhode Islanders take the day off Monday to mark the anniversary of the vietory over Japan in World War II, they'll be alone. Rhode Island is the only state that still celebrates Victory Day, usually referred to as -J Day, and some residents think it's time to think the whole thing over. Not only have there been a lot of changes since Japan surrendered Aug. 14, 1945, but the holiday, celebrated on the second Monday of August, does not help state officials in courting Japanese investors and markets. Japan is the single largest foreign buyer of Rhode Island fish and seafood, and also an important market for goods produced.
said Kenneth Willette, deputy director of the state Department of Economic Development. But the celebration of V-J Day, Willette said, "Causes some concern and is perceived by the Japanese as being He said, however, that Rhode Islanders cling to the holiday not because they are anti-Japanese, but because "most of us don't want to give up a three-day weekend in August." Yoko Rabson, reared in Japan, has lived in Rhode Island 10 years. She said the holiday "disturbs me very much because it discriminates against Japanese -we weren't the only enemy." But John Sivo, state adjutant of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said V-J Day is a fine American tradition. He said, "Should we stop celebrating the Fourth July because it offends the English?" Saturday, officials said. "Apparently they're continuing their protest by not making bond, same as they did in Atlanta," said police spokesman Duane West.
The Leon County Sheriff's Department prepared a makeshift detention center at the North Florida Fairgrounds. The demonstrators arrested in Atlanta were charged with criminal trespass and giving a false name to police, bringing to 276 the number who have gone to jail since the current series of protests began July 19, during the Democratic National Convention. Twenty were charged with obstructing a sidewalk or highway, Poco*ck said. Operation Rescue leader Randall Terry also was arrested and charged with being a party a crime, Poco*ck said. Initial hearings for the protesters arrested Saturday were scheduled for Monday but may be changed to accommodate the arresting officers' schedules, Poco*ck said.
