“We’ve had exactly two

SACRAMENTO. Calif.
(AP) — An unmarried
woman who refuses to
name the father of her
child may be denied state
aid Ln the latest move to
ease a $140-million deficit
in California’s program of
health care for the needy.
The policy, following a
“squeeze and cut and
trim" order by Gov. Ron-
ald Reagan, was an-
nounced Monday. More
than one-fourth of the $600
million Medi-Cal budget
for the next six months
has been cut since the or-
der came from the state-
ment three weeks ago.
“The state has no busi-
ness providing a financial
incentive for immorality,
irresponsibility or family
breakup,” said Lucian
Vandegrift, the state hu-
man relations agency sec-
retary, citing the use of
state funds for abortions,
which prompted the hew
policy.
“Unwed
nors from middle and
higher income families are
being granted aid, often
without regard to the re-
sources of their parents or
the prospective father.”
County welfare directors
now will require an unwed
mother to identify the fa-
ther of her child and give
the name of her parents
before receiving any finan-
cial or medical assistance.
The welfare agency will

determine whether the fa-
ther or the parents are
able to pay for medical ex- >
penses.
In the first nine months
of 1970, there were 42,000
legal abortions in Califor-
nia.
Medi-Cal paid for one
third of last year’s 15,000
abortions,
said.
Medi-Cal budget cuts so |
far have included: dental I

Santa's
Is All Packed
Oklahoma’s busiest San*
ta Claus has completed the
shopping, packaging and
deliveries and all that re*
mains is for 2,021 children
to unwrap their packages
Christmas Day.
Oklahoma's Santa Claus
commission, that unique
agency of state govern-
ment given responsibility
of making Christmas mer-
ry for Institutional chil-
dren, has closed up shop
for the year.
Mrs. Cassie Black, exec-
utive secretary, said today
that 2,021 children were
provided with one to three
gifts this year. In addition,
each child will receive a
bag of candy and nuts.
Mrs. Black said the com-
mission this year spent
about $4.50 on each child.
The number of gifts de-
pends on how expensive
his or her choices are.
This Christmas the com-
mission operated with a
$5,000 appropriation plus
$5,000 in donations.
Mrs. Black and her
helpers are able to stretch
this money a long way be-

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House press secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler says the Nixon administration doesn't
know yet if Russia is building a submarine base in Cuba.
The statement Monday came on the heels of a Time
magazine report that U.S. reconnaissance photos show
the Soviet base is near completion at Cienfuegos, Cuba.
Also on Monday, Rep. Paul Rogers, D-Fla., told the
House he has fresh Information Russia has built, or is
about to complete a sub base in Cuba. Ziegler said there

Lowe-Runkle cut its par-
ty because it grew so large
i that the firm’s workers
couldn’t handle the exten-

Business Falls Off
Ray Ackerman blamed a
poor business year for the
discontinuation of his
firm's party.
“We just took a look at
our expenses and decided
where we could cut them
down," he said. “I'm not
sure if it will be picked up
again. It will have to be on
a year-to-year basis.”
Not so bleak a picture
was painted at other ho-
tels.
Office party bookings
were reported to have de-
clined little this year al-
though the effects of the
economy have been felt.
Parties Smaller
Don J. Sochowica, gen-
eral manager of the Hotel
Oklahoma, said he had
more bookings but smaller
parties scheduled for the
holidays.
“Apparently, the eco-
nomic situation has caused
a decline In the size of par-
ties,” Sochowicz said.
“We’ll have around seven
or eight company Christ-
mas parties altogether this
time.”
