Battle over contraception VATICAN CITY - A major battle over contraception appeared to be developing at the Roman Catholic synod of bishops as a leading Vatican conservative rejected the American call for a full inquiry into the issue of birth control and a British cardinal sided with the Americans. Italian Cardinal Pericle Felici, a ranking conservative in the Vatican Curia, told the worldwide assembly of bishops Tuesday the last word was said on the subject by Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Humanae Vitae, which reiterated the church's opposition to all forms of birth control except the rhythm method of sexual abstinence. "There is no need of rediscussing it, no need to pay attention to statistics because statistics don't sienifv anything," said Felici. The synod of more than 200 bishops will meet for a month discussing the role of the Christian family in the modern world. It has no power to reach decisions binding on the pope, but its discussions and findings are supposed to provide him with information on the problems of the church in the various countries of the world and advice on what to do about them. jgn^RH yuu m and jc || have < H ffiasmm churc 5 Giv< ||| I force 6 : B at Sh< H faithfi B churc our li\ from you p f !

The House, accepting Senate compromise wording on public funding for abortion, yesterday gave final passage to a bill to provide emergency funding to keep the federal government running. The House adopted the Senate language on voice vote > without debate, sending the stopgap-spending bill to President Carter for his signature. The prompt House action averted a continued financial crisis for the federal government, much of which was left without the authority to spend money when the new fiscal year began with the emergency-spending bill tied up on the abortion issue. Despite the congressional impasse that technically left most of the federal government without ODeratinB funds yesterday, signs of any real difference were hard to find in Washington. Referring to similar financial crises in the past, House I Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. said, ,4I never did see the government stop. "The law says you can't operate at a certain day and they (federal officials) always blink at that...I hope they continue to." Some refugees are agents TAMPA, Fla. ? FBI director William Webster says his agency has uncovered intelligence agents among Cubans who came here as part of the "Freedom Flotilla," but there is no evidence of a conspiracy in the recent rash of skyjackings by some refugees. Declining to be specific, Webster said Tuesday "we have identified a small but significant number of those who had clearly been given intelligence assignments in this country." Ten commercial flights have been hijacked to Cuba since Aug. 10 and authorities said disillusioned and homesick refugees were to blame for most of the air piracies.
