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. merous state trials. 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. The Philadelphia case concerns a confession given by a suspect. Paul D. Ware, who was considered incompetent to stand trial for I four years. By the time he was de- clared ready the Miranda ruling was in effect and the confession he had given in 1963 could not be used against him by order of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Supreme Court also agreed yesterday to decide whether door- to-door salesmen and installment- 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.
