TIMOTHY LEARY CASE: Court' illegal WASHINGTON {P)-The Su- preme Court yesterday upset the conviction of drug experimenter Timothy F.

Harlan reasoned, he would have run the risk of self- incrimination by exposing himself to 'state prosecutions. Though the government argues otherwise, Harlan said, the tax law is aimed "at bringing tolight transgressions of the marijuana laws" and those who comply run "a very substantial risk of self- incrimination." Dougas fo undati on slse casino stocks 0- WASHINGTON tM - The private foundation headed by Supreme Court Justice William 0. Douglas has sold its $2- million stoclk holdings in a firm which owns three Las Vegas gambling casinos, a foundation official said yesterday. Justice Douglas, as the president and only paid official of. the Albert Parvin Foundation, has come under fire in Con- ! gress for his. outside salary and the stock ties with the casino ownership. Records show Justice Douglas has been paid more than $85,000 Eby the foundation over the past seven years. Justice Abe Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court last week in the controversy over a $20,000 check from the family " foundation of jailed financier the decision would affect about 100 federal cases. The decision was the court's first major pronouncement since Abe Fortas resigned last week under fire. It follows last year's gutting of federal regulations to register gamblers and certain fire- arms users. In reversing Leary's conviction and 5-to-30 year prison sentence the court struck two vital blows at federal marijuana laws. First, it established that a de- fendant cannot be prosecuted for transporting ,untaxed marijuana so 'long as he correctly invokes his fifthsamendment protection against self-incrimination. Second, it prohibits the assump- tion that ra defendant knew the marijuana was foreing-grown and hence illegally imported. And, in a companion case in- volving a jazz musician from Co- lumbus, Ohio, the court riddled a third federal marijuana law-one that made it a crime to obtain marijuana without having paid the transfer tax. Still, Leary may not be wholly in the clear. The rulings permit convictions based on proof the defendant knew the untaxed marijuana found in his possession was smuggeld into, the country.. In other 'important actions, the high court: " Refused to review a Califor- nia Supreme Court decision that a topless entertainment act was protected by the U.S. Constitution as a form of expression. A lower court had originally ruled the act constituted indecent exposure and lewd and- dissolute conduct in public. * Appearedt to backtrack from recent expansions of the right to a jury trial by holding that a three-year probation sentence was not "serious" enough to' have re- quired one.

(See story, Page 3.) patrolman e xpected By JUDY SARASOHN Informed sources said yesterday that Police Chief Krasny is expected to announce today the dismissal of the patrolman who was charged by the Human Relations Commission with beating an HRC staff member on assignment. However, Krasny last night called the reports "errone- ous" and said no decision was made as of yesterday. Krasny said he will make a public statement today con- cerning the results of his investigation as soon as he confers with Mayor Robert Harris and City Administrator Guy Lar- com, who were out of town yesterday. "I'm exploring all the legal angles," Krasny said, ex- plaining that he is being careful to stay within fair labor practices in relation to hi&- handling of the officer's sus- pension and his own investi- " ' gation. Fair labor practices require that the dismissal of a veteran be ef- festive 15 days after notification, ie and that the employe be allowed a hearing. Krasny said Friday night that "recommendation of disciplinary asseu action is expected" against the , patrolman, but added that "de- tails have not been worked out By NADINE COHODAS yet."

Dr. Leroy Augenstein, a Mich- igan =State University professor, said he 'thought the board should' have the power to help the state's colleges and universities "draw the line between legitimate and con- structive debate on one hand and simple disruption and destruction on the other."

Justice Douglas yesterday said he had no comment regarding the foundation's past links with Las Vegas holdings or cirticism of his role with the foundation. The latest available tax records f the Parvin Foundation also list interest income from the Hotel Flamingo, another plush gambling palace on the Las Vegas strip.
