NATION IN BRIEF : IDAHO : Strict Abortion Bill Goes to Gov. Andrus

Legislation establishing the nation’s most restrictive state abortion law reached Gov. Cecil D. Andrus’ desk in Boise. Both camps in the abortion battle flooded Andrus’ office with telephone calls, letters and messages urging him to sign or veto the bill. He has until next Monday to act unless the Legislature adjourns before then. If that happens, as is expected, Andrus has 10 days from the time lawmakers leave. “We’re becoming concerned,” said state Commerce Director James Hawkins of threats to boycott the state’s leading cash crop, potatoes.
