WASHINGTON (AP) - New York
Times reporter Myron Farber won a
last-minute reprieve yesterday from
his scheduled return to a New Jersey
jail for refusing to reveal his confiden-
tial files. Supreme Court Justice Potter
Stewart ordered New Jersey
authorities to allow Farber to remain
free until they hear further from him or
the full court.
Farber was to have been returned to
a Hackensack, N.J. jail cell at 4 p.m.
EDT. Stewart's order was announced
at 3:20 p.m.
FARBER ALREADY has spent 27
days in jail and the Times has paid
$130,000 in fines for refusing to surren-
der confidential information to a New
Jersey judge presiding over a murder
case.
Yesterday's order also postponed
resumption of $5,000 daily fines against
the Times until Stewart or the full court
- the order did not specify - studies
more closely the emergency request.
Farber and the Times want to post-
pone all penalties against them while
the Supreme Court considers their for-
mal appeal.
THE 53-PAGE appeal also was filed
yesterday but it is not likely the court
will decide for at least several weeks
whether to grant it full review.
The emergency appeal was forwar-
ded to Stewart after Justice William
Brennan excused himself, without ex-
atr benr
planation, from considering it.
Judge William Arnold ordered Far
ber and the Times to hand over all files
compiled in Farber's investigation of a
series of patient deaths in the mid-1960s
at an Oradell, .N.J. hospital.
ARNOLD SAID he would survey the
information and determine whether
any of it was needed at trial.
Farber's 1975 articles led authorities
to renew their investigation of the
deaths. Dr. Mario Jascalevich, iden-
tified only as "Dr. X" in Farber's initial
articles, is charged with murder in
connection with three of the deaths.
After Farber and the Times refused
to comply with the judge's subpoena,
they were convicted of criminal and
civil contempt.
UNDER THE civil 'conviction, Far-
ber is to stay in jail and the Times is to
pay a $5,000 daily fine until the files are
handed over.
In addition, the criminal conviction
drew a six-month jail sentence for Far-
ber, to begin after he surrenders the
files, and a $100,000 fine for his
newspaper.
Farber was freed from a Hackensack
jail cell and fines against the Times
were suspended last month when the
New Jersey Supreme Court agreed.to
hear their appeals.
THE STATE court last week upheld
the contempt convictions, however, and
eprieve
ordered that the civil sentences
resume.
In appeals of both sets of convictions,
the justices were told that Fraber and
the Times had been denied their rights
to challenge the validity of Arnold's
subpoena in a hearing.
"At all stages in these proceedings,
petitioners sought and were denied that
most basic of all due process rights: a
hearing prior to being required to com-
ply with subpoenas they believed
violated both the clear language of the
New Jersey reporters' shield law and
the Constitution itself," the appeal said.
LAWYERS FOR Farber and the
newspaper decried the "fundamental
unfairness of the proceedings from
beginning to end,'' and challenged the
New Jersey court's interpretation of
the state shield law's relatin to
Jascelevich's right to a fair trial.
The appeal noted that the state court
had declared the law designed to
protect reporters' confidential sources
from government inquiry uncon-
stitutional. It added: "What we believe
needs to be done is to advise New Jer-
sey that its law as written and intended
is constitutional."
The justices were told that the ruling
that a reporter's privilege must always
yield to a criminal defendant's rights
has endangered the lawyer-client
physician-patient, priest-penitent and
husband-wife privileges.

Fuel tax will increase 2 cents
LANSING (UPI) - Lt. Gov. James
Damman cast an historic tie-breaking
vote yesterday, providing the margin
for approval of a gasoline tax increase
of two cents. li
The gas tax is a major portion of the
state's proposed balanced transpor-
tation package. Still awaiting Senate
approval after a lengthy Senate session
was an increase of about 30 per cent in
vehicle weight taxes.
i
We won't settle for
THOSE TWO bills will yield about
$147 million to fund improvements in
virtually all phases of transportationr,
but the majority will go to roads and
highways.
It was believed to be only the second
time Damman had cast a vote in four
years of presiding over the Senate, and
was the first on a major issue. It broke
a 19-19 tie.
Both the Democratic and Republican
caucuses were badly split on the issue.
THE MEASURE also hikes diesel
fuel taxes by two cents, an increase that
was hotly contested by truck stop
owners.
The Senate again rejected amen-
dments to strike the diesel fuel hike, but
agreed by a wide margin to provide a
one-year expiration date in the tax hike
to allow time to work out the concerns

Rockefeller and Brendan Byrne.
of diesel fuel vendors.
The vendors had complained that the
higher taxes in Michigan would induce
truckers to purchase fuel in either
state.
THE TOTAL transportation package,
already approved by the House, would
provide $168 million in transportation
improvements, including a transfer of
$21 million from sales tax revenues.
Opponents said the increase flies in
the face of public sentiment against tax
increases.
"People in this state and around the
country are not talking about in-
creasing taxes, they're talking about
decreasing taxes," said Sen. Robert
Davis, (R-Gaylord).
OPponents also charged the gas tax
increase would hurt the automobile and
tourist industries.

-A better self-defense training
program for staff. Union members
want the program to be mandatory for
new staff and ongoing for old staff.
-A system whereby patients would
be legally accountable for their actions
on the wards. "There have been several
instances of patients robbing guards
and hitting members of the staff and
other patients," said the union
spokesman. "We want these patients to
be accountable in a court of law."
-A special squad made up of ap-
proximately seven guards who would
automatically handle an incident like
Friday night's. "Only two guards were
sent out to take care of the patients at-
tempting to escape and they were jum-
ped," according to the spokesman.
"With seven it would be a very different
situation."
