The ruling, announced last December by the U.S. Circuit Court in Boston, was the first to declare that welfare payments by the states do not conflict with the national policy of free collective bargaining. The Supreme Court is expecting the appeal before the current term ends and to announce whether it will hear the case. The circuit court decision was based on a Teamsters' Union Strike last August against ITT Lamp Division's plant in Lynn, Mass. * * * A RUSSIAN DOCTOR was rescued yesterday from pursuit by Soviet police intruding on U.S. embassy grounds in Moscow. Vasily Nikitenkov, 43, told embassy spokesmen that he wanted to emigrate to Israel because he was dissatisfied with life in the So- viet Union. The Soviet government has taken a major policy decision on the Jewish emigration problem and has permitted about 150 Jews to leave for Israel within the past 10 days. This was in response to a series of militant sit-in demonstrations in Moscow government buildings in the past three weeks and mount- ing international pressures. * * * CONSERVATION GROUPS yesterday reached a settlement with Consumers Power Co., owner of a $120 million nuclear pow- er plant which borders Lake Michigan. The Palisades plant was the subject of a nine-month legal battle, concerning ecological safeguards. The settlement calls for cooling towers and traps for radioactive wastes, adding about $15 million to the plant's cost. The Palisades is expected to provide 20 per cent of consumers' generating capacity. Originally Consumers planned to dump 550 million gallons of water, heated 25 degrees above the lake's temperature, into Lake, Michigan each day. In addition, the firm was to pour 90 gallons of liquid radioactive waste into the lake each hour. Consumers has operated a nuclear plant near Charlevoix since 1962 and is planning another near Midland, but Palisades is supposed to be the largest such plant in the nation. THE NATION'S ECONOMY, following two months of pro- gress, showed a decline of the key industrial production index for January. Output, decreased by four-tenths of one per cent, disclosing re- luctance of big business to invest in production and consumer hesi- tation to spend savings, despite deficit spending, according to a re- port released yesterday by the Federal Reserve Board. / * * * EIGHT PATIENTS at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit died ' of blood infections during the past four months, because of taint- ed bottle caps. Investigators from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta determined that bacteria got under plastic liners of intravenous con- tainer caps during manufacture by Abbott Laboratories in Chicago, it was reported in yesterday's Detroit Free Press. Similarly contaminated bottles, representing the production of Abbott since February 1970, are believed to be in use in a large num- ber of hospitals across the country.

William Calley, 27, was described by his defense counsel yesterday as a "pigeon" for the My Lai massa- cre - "the lowest officer on the totem pole in this whole business." In a final summation to the six-man court-martial jury, attorney George Latimer again sought to pin responsibility for Calley's action at My Lai on orders he said came from the company commander, Capt. Ernest Medina, to wipe out all inhabitants of the village during a combat assault exactly three years ago yesterday. Calley stands accused of killing or ordering the execution of at least 102 men, women and children. The jury will also have the op- ing through the Senate a few. The measure carries a 19 curity benefits for 26 million Americans, retroactive to Jan. 1. The Social Security provision is attached as a rider on a bill to raise the ceiling on the nation debt by $35 billion to $430 bil- lion. President Nixon is to sign the bill today. The speedup plan probably will advance by several months, the date when recipients will find the 10 per cent hike reflected in their checks. The Social Security boost, which will be added to a 15 per cent hike made in January 1970, goes to those receiving retirement, dis- ability and family-survivor checks. It will be reflected f i r s t in checks due on June 3. A separate retroactivity payment is'to be made later. Cost of the increase will be $3.6 billion for a full year. At the insistence of House spokesmen, the conference com- mittee trimmed out of the b il l other increases voted by the Sen- ate that would have increased the cost by more than another $2 bil- lion. Taxes would increase a maxi- mum of $62.40 each for the em- ploye and employer under provis- ions effective in 1972. Under present law, taxes are paid on up to $7,800 of annual earnings. This base would be rais- ed to $9,000 next year. The cur- rent tax rate, 5.2 per cent, would stay the same in 1972. Former N.Y. governor Dewey dies MIAMI BEACH (P) - Thomas Dewey, governor of New York for three terms and twice candidate for the presidency, died yesterday. Dewey, 68, died alone in a Miami Beach hotel room, officials said. He hadhbeen released from a Mi ami hospital Monday. Republicans twice nominated Dewey for President. He lost to Franklin Roosevelt in 1944 and to Harry Truman in 1948. Dewey was telegraph editor of The Daily in 1921. rl m 71.' hours later, 76-0. per cent increase in Social Se- M ei r wins support on l and polic e By The Associated Press Premier Golda Meir yeste#day won a vote of confidence from, Is- Srael's parliament for her policy on occupied Arab territory - attack- ed as too soft by right-wing dep- uties and too rigid by critics abroad The Knesset, voted 62-0, with 12 abstentions, to support Meir af- ter a bitter debate in which she rejected right-wing demands that Israel keep all Arab territory seiz- ed in the 1967 war. In Washington, Secretary of State William Rogers criticized Meir for her assertion thatIsrael must base its future security on the geographical position it estab lishes in a peace settlement rath- er than on international guaran-+ tees. Rogers warned that failure of Middle East peace efforts could produce a .dangerous situation in the world and "possibly lead to World War III." He urged Israel to consider seriously political ar- rangements built around a U.N. peace-keeping force in which the United States and other 'powers would participate. Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban, arriving yesterday in New York, said the 1967 war "offered a case history in the collapse" of such guarantees and declared Is- rael w ill not put its future in "vague or fragile solutions." Eban will meet with Rogers and U.N. Secretary-General U Thant. The vote in the Knesset in Je- srusalem was preceded by a pro- cedural dispute and a shouting match that was described as the angriest incident the house has i known for years.

Earlier, the government wound up its final summation by de- manding that Calley be convicted as charged with the premeditated murder of 102 unresisting Vietna- mese men, women and children at My Lai on March 16, 1968.
