THE SUPREME COURT decided yesterday, by an 8-1 vote,
that college students seeking to register as voters in their campus
towns must fight their legal battles as individuals and not as
groups.
This decision is expected to draw out the legal battle indefinite-
ly and keep many students, enfranchised last summer by the 26th
Amendment, from voting this year.
The high court's ruling affirmed a Richmond, Va., federal court'
ruling that five students may not make their suit a class action
affecting all student voters in Virginia.
In this case, the state said that whether the students were
legitimate residents of the locality and not whether they were stu-
dents was the question, and that it must be determined on an indi-
vidual basis.
A UNITED NATIONS report declared yesterday, that abortion
may be the world's most common form of birth control, legal or
not.
The 162-page report. by the U.N. Population Division found that
in areas where it has been legalized and is performed under normal
medical conditions, abortion is not highly dangerous.
"As the evidence accumulates, many have come to feel that
abortion may be the single most widely used method of birth control
in the world . . . It appears common in many countries, whether'
legalized or not," the report declared.
AN INTERIOR DEPARTMENT study issued yesterday said an
oil pipeline through Canada would pose less of an environmental
threat from major oil spills than a proposed route through
Alaska.
In terms of unavoidable damage, however, it might be more of
a tossup, the two-year study concluded. It said an overland pipeline
would prevent damage in the sea but the pipeline and tanker route
through Alaska might protect the land more.
The report said, however, that none of the alternatives appeared
superior to the others in all respects.
Interior Under Secretary William Pecora told a news conference,
"I don't think the report shows any preference" between routes
through Alaska and through Canada.

The much-criticized Miranda
decision requires police to offer a
lawyer to criminal suspects and to
advise them they need not answer
any questions.
The decision, a favorite target
of President Nixon in his 1968
campaign, came on a five to four
vote. Only two members of the
majority remain while four Nixon
appointees more attuned to the
President's concept of criminal
law have been added to the court.

WASHINGTON T - The Supreme Court yesterday agreed
to reconsider the controversial Miranda decision which limits
the use of confessions at criminal trials.
The new case was brought to the court by Philadelphia
prosecutors who complained that "hypertechnical require-
ments" of the 1966 decision and a followup ruling had kept
them from using a confession against the admitted slayer of
four elderly people.
In 1968, Congress partly overrode the court and relaxed
the confession rules for federal criminal trials. The Philadep-
phia prosecutors are seeking some easing for the more nu-

Richard Nixon, asserting that the
drug traffic strikes at the very
heart of American society, called
yesterday for "strong, tough pro-

"I consider this to be the No. 1
domestic problem that concerns
the American people," Nixon told
newsmen in an informal briefing
at Kennedy Airport yesterday.
And he added that "we must
