TALLAHASSEE (AP)-The Florida
Supreme Court opened the state's cour-
trooms to cameras and recording
equipment on a permanent basis
yesterday, thus giving electronic media
and press photographers their broadest
acces§ to legal proceedings anywhere
in the nation.
In a unanimous ruling, the court said
cameras will be allowed in Florida
courtrooms, effective May 1, as a
general practice unless the presiding
judge specifically finds that cameras
and recording devices should be
prohibited.
IN SUCH A CASE, the judge would
hve to meet a narrow test included by
the justices in their opinion. The court
declined yesterday, however, to outline
specific cases in which a judge could
close a proceeding to cameras.
In a related development, the Ohio
Supreme Court yesterday announced
that it has amended the state's code of
judicial conduct to allow broadcasting
and photographing of courtroom
>pen to c
proceedings.
However, the Ohio amendments will
be in effect only one year beginning
June 1, after which the court will decide
whether to permanently adopt, modify
or rescind them.
IN NOVEMBER, the Florida
Supreme Court released a survey in
which nearly two thirds of the jurors
and more than half of the witnesses in-
volved in the year-long experiment ap-
proved of the idea.
In its 33-page ruling, the Supreme
Court repeatedly referred to that sur-
vey, saying it refuted most, if not all, of
the arguments proposed by opponents
ameras
of the change. Those opponents had
claimed that allowing cameras into
courtrooms might disrupt orderly
proceedings, have an adverse
psychological impact on judges, attor-
neys, witnesses and juries, lead to
prejudicial publicity and have an ad-
verse impact on certain witnesses.
Several other states have modified
regulations allowing cameras in cour-
trooms, although many of them are
only experimental. Of those that are
permanent, some require consent of
those participating in the trial and
others only allow cameras to record
appellate proceedings.

TEHRAN (AP) - Revolutionary
firing squads shot eight more of the
exiled shah's men before dawn yester-
day and hours later a tribunal passed
death and prison sentences on six police
officers charged with torturing political
prisoners, the state radio said.
The shootings brought to 109 the
number of persons confirmed as
executed since Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini's revolutionary government
took power Feb. 12 and began secret
Islamic trials that order the sentences
carried out immediately, without ap-
peal.
TEHRAN'S Kayhan newspaper
reported the roundup of 141 persons in
Tehran and elsewhere since Tuesday,
including an ex-deputy prime minister,
two senators, university professors and
a Moslem clergyman.
No charges against those arrested
were given in the report, but it ap-
peared that like others they were
suspected supporters of or participants
in the government of Shah Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi.
More than 4,000 persons are-believed
held in a central Tehran prison on
various charges and at least 1,000
others are believed held elsewhere, but
exact numbers are not know.
ELEVEN MEN were executed in
Tehran on Wednesday, the busiest day
yet for the firing squads, but
Khomeini's provisional government
leaders say they approve of the
executions despite international
protest.
Khomeini said the Islamic regime is
"respected by all those who have con-
cern for humanity and human right'
but U.N. Secretary-General Kurt
Waldheim, Amnesty International and
a number of foreign governments have
called for an end to the executions and
secret trials.
In Washington, the State Department
said yesterday it was "deeply distur-
bed" by the latest round of summary
trials and executions in Iran.

JOHNSON said those who did stop at
her table were mostly interested in the
draft. "A lot of women especially are
interested, because if the draft were
brought back it would probably include
women,"'she said.
Pennanen said he had called ROTC
officials and discussed his plans for the
"counter presence" before registration
began early in the month. "We had
profoundly different views on some
things," he remarked; "but we found
we had some things in common."
No specific regulations exist as to
what groups can set up tables at CRISP
lines, according to Assistant University
Registrar Toxin Korunia.
