Rep. James Thorpe (R-Alliance) attempted to get recognition to explain his vote as Speaker Kurfess called for a roll-call vote on the resolution. A shouting match ensued with Thorpe storming off the floor, and Rep.

Richard Reichel (R-Massillon) screamed, "What happened to freedom of speech?" The resolution was rushed to the Senate where it was signed by Senate President Pro Tem Theodore Gray (R-Piqua) in the absence of Lt. Gov. John W. Brown. John C.

McDonald, legislative assistant to Gov. John J. Gilllgan, will hand-carry the resolution to Washington, D. C. today.

The Ohio Senate voted Tuesday to ratify the amendment to the Constitution. In the time it took to get the resolution on the House floor for a vote Wednesday, North Carolina and Alabama legislators voted to ratify and the Oklahoma Assembly was gathering for a special session. A second resolution proposing a statewide vote in November to amend the Ohio Constitution to lower the voting age in the state will now be referred to the Constitutional Revision Committee. Aronoff said it would be unnecessarily expensive to have a statewide campaign to change the Ohio Constitution now that the issue has been resolved nationally.

BY WARREN WHEAT Enquirer Bureau Chief COLUMBUS Ohio Wednesday night became the 38th state to ratify an amendment to the U. S. Constitution permitting 18-year-olds to vote in all elections. The vote to ratify came at 8:05 p. m.

in the House of Representatives. It means that 18-year-olds will be able to vote In local, state and federal elections. Congress last year extended the voting franchise to 18-year-olds, but the U. S. Supreme Court ruled the legislation could apply legally only to federal elections.

The Ohio House raced to the wire with the Oklahoma legislature which was meeting in special session to become the historic final state to ratify the constitutional amenclment, making it the law of the land. The House vote was 81-9, following a 20-minute unusual night session bf the Ohio Legislature. At the White House Wednesday night, President Nixon said, "Some 11 million young men and women who have participated in the life of our nation through tlheir work, their studies and their sacrifices for its defense now are to be fully included in the electoral process of our country. "I urge them to honor this right by exercising it by registering and voting in each election." SHOUTING OPPONENTS of lowering the voting age were gaveled out of order by House Speaker Charles F. Kurf ess (R-Bowling Green).

House Floor Leader Robert Levitt (R-Canton) ended the brief debate, saying, "The time for debate, discussion is over. The time for action is now." HAMILTON COUNTY Republicans John A. Bechtold and Tom Pot-tenger were absent for the vote. Cincinnati Republican Dale Schmidt voted against approval of the ratification resolution sponsored by Sen. Stanley J.

Aronoff (R-Cincinnati), chairman of the Senate Elections Committee. The resolution's House sponsor, Rep. Fred Young (R-Dayton), told House members, "We have the opportunity tonight to enfranchise the largest group of Americans since women were given the right to vote." Conservative spokesman Rep. Joseph Tulley (R-Mentor) argued that voters In 1969 rejected a proposed amendment to the state constitution which would have lowered the voting age to 19. "Young people have become no more mature than they were two to vote sfallwt be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account ot ape.

He said "this duty rests on taxi drivers, justices and the New York Times." The government had argued unfettered publication could prolong the Vietnam War, delay the release of American prisoners, harm the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and upset Middle East relations. None of the opinions of the nine 'Justices referred specifically to this argument although Stewart said he agreed with the government that publication of some of the secret documents was not "in the national interest." SEVERAL Democratic senators, mainly those opposed to the war, praised the court's decision. Republican comment was limited but Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) said indictments should be' sought against Daniel Ellsberg, accused of leaking the papers to the Times, and against the owner of the Times. Burger said in his dissent that free-speech rights are not obsolute and that the Times should have reported to the government that it was in the possession of "purloined documents." Burger wrote: "To me It is hardly believable that a newspaper long regarded as a great institution In American life would fail to per- Enquirer (Dick Swaim) Photo Witnesses Open Session In Heat, Rain STEAMY HEAT AND RAIN hardly bothered thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses Wednesday at Riverfront Stadium where their five-day -Divine Name district assembly began.

As speakers amplified biblical teachings to make them meaningful in family and community, Witnesses and guests ran into friends from previous conventions, kept track of talks in Bibles brought along and patronized the scores of refreshment stands, all staffed by volunteers. The keynote speaker assured Witnesses they alone are the "anointed remnant" and chosen people today. Not Since 1949 they have from the start, were Justices Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, William J.

and Thurgood Marshall. Siding with the government, as they did last week, were Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Justices John M. Harlan and Harry A. Blackmun.

THE DECISION was hailed by the Times and Post as well as other newspaper enjoined by lower courts from further publication of articles based on the disputed documents. All planned resumption of interrupted publication. At the White House, press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said President Nixon was "aware of course" bf the court's action and said, "I have no comment on the Supreme Court decision." Under questioning, he added the White House stands by earlier expressions of concern about publication of the documents, including claims that the national security and conduct of foreign affairs would be impaired. The Justice Department, which prosecuted the government case, had no Immediate comment.

The Defense Department also withheld comment although a spokesman said the 47-volume report prepared in 1967 is "still classified as far as we are concerned." It's in the process of partial declassification which officials have said would take about 45 days. THE REPORT was made available to Congress earlier this week but still on a basis of tightly restricted viewing by members only. Hours before the court acted Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) released hitherto secret reports on U. S.

Vietnam involvement, using an impromptu subcommittee hearing as a vehicle for giving the material to newsmen. WASHINGTON (AP) The Su-prreme Court ruled 6 to 3 Wednesday that The New York Times and The Washington Post may resume publishing articles on the origins af the Vietnam War based on doc- Uments classified top secret by the Pentagon. With all nine Justices stating their views, the majority held the government had not proved that the national interest would be i damaged if. parts of the Pentagon papers were not kept from the public. The three dissenters said the court had acted too hastily.

The key votes were cast by Jus- tlces Potter Stewart and Byron R. White. Last week they sided with the government and permitted temporary court restraint on publication of the series. However, having heard argu-, ments and examined secret documents filed by the Justice Department, they concluded they could not say "that disclosure of any of them will surely result in direct, immediate and irreparable damage to our nation or its people" the core of the government's argument for permanent restraint. "To sustain the government in these cases would start the courts down a long and hazardous road that I am not willing to travel at least without Congressional guidance and direction," White wrote with Stewart's concurrence.

Rep. F. Edward Hebert head of the House conferees, said the negotiators decided to recess for 'the Fourth of July weekend, not meeting again until next. Wednesday. Induction Embargo: What Happens? WASHINGTON (UPI) House and Senate negotiators abandoned efforts to keep the Selective Service law from expiring Wednesday and the White House said the military draft would be suspended until Congress revives it.

The failure to renew the law leaves the government without conscription authority for the first time since 1949. However, Pentagon officials said the military could get by without any undue hardship for awhile. Deadlocked over a Senate amendment urging withdrawal of U. forces from Indochina In nine months, the negotiators recessed their meetings for a week a few hours before the midnight expiration of the basic draft law. President Nixon could order continued Inductions of youths who were vulnerable for having lost deferments principally those just out of college but the White House said he would not invoke that authority.

"WE DONT PLAN tc Induct anyone until the Congress passes the two-year extension of the law," press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said. He- added that "we expect the Congress to act promptly." The House and Senate teams seeking to work out difference in differing measures they passed were snarled in disagreement on only the one issue the so-called Mansfield Amendment. The House voted earlier this week against accepting the resolution to declare it to be "the policy of the United States" to bring all American GIs home nine months after enactment of the bill, provided all POWs are released. It appeared that the crux of the dispute centered on a specific withdrawal date or time limit something vociferously opposed by President Nixon.

The Mansfield Amendment would not legally bind the President, but Senate negotiators apparently felt that i sizable number of senators woulr. i3fuse to accept a compromise tLat did not include some time element. Ziegler also said the administration would not utilize its legal authority to induct men whose deferments have run out because that "would cause hardships" on the men affected. report for a preinduction physical should you report? A. No.

You will receive another letter informing you of the delay and when and if an extension is approved you will then be told when to report. Q. If you have received your preinduction physical, will you get the results? A. Yes. The Selective Service System will continue to process reports on physical exams.

Q. If you have been examined, passed and told to report for induction should you report? A. No. Again, you will be informed of the delay and subsequent developments. Q.

Are there any exceptions? A. Yes. The Selective Service System will continue to process doctors. By Associated Press The Selective Service System announced a halt to the military draft of young men effective midnight Wednesday because a bill on draft extension Is still pending. Here are the answers to some questions about what happens now: Q.

Will the draft end at midnight? A. No. The draft or Selective Service System is a permanent institution. Only the power to induct expires. Q.

If you turn 18 do you still have to register for the draft? A. Yes. Q. Will you be classified after you register? A. No.

Q. If you have been ordered to Wmmmmmmmmmmmmm Go Soak Your Head (c) Chicago Daily News That summer heat is with us now so here's some advice: Go soak your head. In cold water. New studies have shown that the human head is the best site for removing body heat. Soaking the wrists has been recommended in the past but the head is a much better radiator.

It has the highest heat flow of any body region except wor'ong muscle. Unlike the hands or feet, whose blood vessels constrict in a cold environment, the blood vessels of the head remain open. Experiments have shown the scalp circulation lacks vessel-tightening impulses from the nervous system. The head is practical for body heat removal because it has a rich blood vessel supply and represents up to 9 of the body surface area. It is known that a hatless individual will lose 40 of his body heat in winter cold.

The value of head cooling has been worked out by Dr. Sarah A. NunneJey at Ohio State University. Using a water cooled cap, she found head cooling removed on the average about 30 of metabolic heat while resting and 19 of available heat during work. Subjects exercised on a treadmill for two hours at a time in a hot environment while wearing the head cooler and while bareheaded.

"The subjects liked the head cooling and found it possible to endure a hot environment easily although the body was actively sweating," said Dr. Nunneley, who is now at the Department of Aerospace Medicine, Lovelace Foundation, Albuquerque, N. M. Re-Entry Key To Space Deaths? CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) Any of a number of problems, from mechanical to medical, could have caused the deaths of Russia's three Soyuz 11 cosmonauts Wednesday.

Whatever happened, it apparently was associated with the sudden slamming into Earth's atmosphere after the spaceship and its crew had been in weightless space for nearly 24 days. The jolt could have damaged equipment or hearts. U. S. experts declined to cite a most likely cause because they don't have U.

enough information. But they said they hope the Russians share results of the Investigation. "Co-operation in the sharing of the data on this tragedy could help the United States avoid a possible similar problem in space," said Dr. Charles Sheldon a specialist on the Russian space program in Body tissues of the three space fliers would have swollen if there had been a sudden decompression of the spacecraft, Berry said. Soviet reports said there were no signs of a struggle and the cosmonauts looked like they were sleeping.

"I don't know what that means," Berry said. "If you get some toxic substance in the spacecraft it could cause death like this." He said odds were 1000 to 1 against weightlessness as a cause of death of any of the spacemen, with much greater odds that weightlessness was a factor In all three deaths. Experts here said the sudden acceleration from weightlessness to forces four to five times that of earth's gravity might have damaged a vital spacecraft system. Possibllites that would cause quck death are a sudden cabin depressurization or loss of oxygen or some other unit of the life support system. MEDICAL SPECIALISTS said the cosmonauts could have suffered cardio-vascular failure from the gravity load after being in prolonged weightlessness.

"It is possible their hearts could have been subjected to severe strain, but I wouldn't want to say that for sure until I had more information," said one. the Library of Congress' Legislative Reference Service. Officials at Cape Kennedy said the cosmonaut deaths' probably would have no effect on the Apollo 15 mission, scheduled for launching toward the Moon July 26. "We have confidence in our re-entry system and Apollo 15 plans to be away from Earth only 12 days, half the length of the Soyuz 11 flight," one official commented. Based on reports from the Soviet news agency, Tass, the deaths apparently occurred when Soyuz 11 streaked back into Earth's atmosphere after braking rockets were fired to drop the craft out of orbit.

During the hottest part of re-entry, ionized gases build up around the capsule, cutting off communications with Earth for two or three minutes. According to Tass, no word was heard from the spacemen after the rockets were fired. The chief physician for America's Astronauts said the deaths of the Soyuz 11 cosmonauts could have been caused by toxic gas released accidentally in their spacecraft. Dr. Charles A.

Berry speculated the toxic gas could have been the product of a chemical reaction or caused by a substance being heated. i. ii vvi vwwJv haM Fill 'Er Up Page Graham 33 34 30 1 1 Gallup Horoscope Horse Sense 18 Page Action Line 37 Amuse 12, 13 Books 28 "Bridge 18 Business 38-42 Classified 51-62 Columnists 7 Comics 50 Crossword 38 Dear Abby 27 i Deaths 51 Editorials A car without gas wont get you very far, and neither will an apartment without tenants.
