NEW GUIDELINES POSSIBLE:
Supreme Court agrees to
hear Georgia obscenity case
BRUSSELS (Reuter) - Secre-
tary of State Henry Kissinger
yesterday strongly rejected
French criticisms of the June 22
agreement between President
Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid
Brezhnev on the prevention of
nuclear war.
French foreign minister Michel
Jobert told the NATO council
here that the U.S.-Soviet accord
could limit detente to top-level
consultations between the super
powers, according to informcd
sources.
KISSINGER, attending his first
NATO foreign ministers meeting,
hit back by describing Jobert's
assessment of the agreement as
"misinterpretation of fact."
Jobert said in his prepared
statement to the two-day meeting
that the Soviet-American acc,)rd,
although aimed at preventing a
war, threatened to limit the role
of the NATO alliance.
Kissinger had already told the
14 alliance countries that NATO
must decide if its members could
continue as allies or would drft
into competition. He had de-
manded the right of reply to the
jFrench minister, conference
sources said.
THE AMERICAN secretary of
state said he could not stand by
while "misinterpretations" c o n-
cerning the June 22 agreement
continued, both by public opin-
ion and inside the NATO council
meeting.
He said he could not see why
some of the NATO allies inter-
preted the agreement in a way
that not even the Russians did,
the sources added.
Kissinger said he wanted t> set
the record straight, stressing
that NATO envoys had been in-
formed about the contents of the
agreement immediately after it
was signed.
HE REFERRED to article Fix
of the agreement which states
C y JU ,p PCJJC. r I
not elaborate.
The June 22 agreement calls
for consulattions in the event
of nuclear war between tha Unit-
ed States and the Soviet Union,
or between either of the two
super powers and another coun-
try.
JOBERT SAID that Soviet-
American cooperation posed
problems for consultations with-
in the Atlantic alliance.
His remark came after Kis-
singer had made what was gen-
erally interpreted here as a con-
ciliatory speech, whe'e he re-
affirmed the U.S. commitment to
the alliance.
Relations between the United
States and its European allies
were placed under severa strain
because of disagreements over
U.S. policy during the Middle
East war.
FRANCE HAS been one of
America's most persistent critics.
Today, Jobert was quoted as say-
ing of the Soviet-American agree-
ment "this process could ;imi. de-
tente to top level consultations
between super powers, while
there are many bilateral and
multilateral channels towards de-
tente."

ed by
WASHINGTON (R') - The Su-
preme Court may be ready to of-
fer more definite guidelines to
states and local officials on what
is punishably obscene.
The court issued a routine or-
der Monday agreeing to hear ar-
guments in a case from Georgia
involving a theater operator
found guilty of violating state ob-
scenity law for showing the cri-
tically praised movie "Carnal
Knowledge."
THE ACTION comes only a
few months after the court re-
wrote obscenity law in a series
of 5 to 4 decisions last term.
While those decisions streng-
thened the hand of prosecutors,
Chief Justice Warren E. Bur-
ger said only material depicting
"hard - core sexual conduct"
should be subject to prosecution.
Beyond the question of whether
the 1971 movie was punishably
obscene, another issue raised by
the latest appeal might have
caught the justices' attention: the
question of what community
standards are to be applied in
determining obscenity.
ONE OF THE KEY elements
in the obscenity decisions last
June was the removal of a re-
quirement that a national stan-
dard be used in determining ob-
scenity.
Opinion has been divided, how-
ever, over whether the court
intended for statewide standards
or those of individual communi-
ties to apply.
"C a r n a 1 Knowledge was
shown successfully in Georgia
before police in 1972 arrested
Billy Jenkins, owner of the Broad
Avenue Cinema in Albany, Ga.
JENKINS WAS FINED $750
and given 12 months' probation.
He then launched the appeals
that will bring him a Supreme
Court hearing sometime later
this term.
Jenkins' lawyers argued that
the Georgia obscenity law, as
approved by a 4 to 3 decision of
the Georgia Supreme Court,
squates sex with obscenity.
Georgia law also applies the
standard of indecent exposure
laws to the showing of motion
pictures, they said.
WHILE THE SUPREME Court
never directly confronted the sit-
uation, past decisions would pro-
hibit applying indecent expos-
ure laws to motion pictures, they
argued.
Finally, the lawyers asked the
Supreme Court to make its own
,irin in of whethr 1'r

State Supreme Court reverses
decision on local school fundin
LANSING (UPI) - The state
Supreme Court set aside yester-
day a 1972 decision that said
Michigan's system of distributing
state education funds in 1970
and 1971 was unequal.
The court's action was taken
briefly for technical reasons and
a spokesman said it would have
no immediate impact upon the
state's method of financing its
schools.
LEGALLY, T H E ACTION
means that no precedents were
established in the 1972 ruling al-
though the opinion remains on
the books.
The court said that requests
by Gov. William Milliken and
Attorney General Frank Kelley
that led to the earlier decision
were "improvidently granted"-
that is, did not provide for the
future.
Justices voted unanimous
Monday to set aside - or vacat
in the language of the court
their earlier decision, but ji
tices did not explain their late
decision in detail.
IN ITS EARLIER decision, t
court ruled that the forma
used for allocating state educ
tion funds, based on a scho
district's property taxes, a'
millage levy, tended to benel
rich districts at the expense
poorer districts.
Although the court did not ru
out the use of property tax as
source of school financing,
did say that whatever system tl
legislature devised must be ma
equitable than the past formula

NEW YORK WA) - A major pe-
troleum economics research
group estimates this country's
fuel shortage due to the Arab
embargo in the first quarter of
1974 willebe somewhat less se-
vere than the government's fore-
cast.
The Petroleum Industry Re-
search Foundation, Inc., said
yesterday it estimates the Arab
shortage at up to 2.8 million bar-
rels a day while the govern-
ment's figure for the total short-
age is 3.5 million barrels a day.
LAWRENCE Goldstein, the
foundation's senior economist,
noted the total shortage of crude
oil and refined products is sig-
nificant even at the lower figure.
And he added, "From a public
relations point of view, I would
prefer the government to some-
what overstate t h e problem
rather than understate it."
One government source said
that if its shortage estimate
were being prepared today it
would probably come down "a
little bit"' because some factors
have changed since the original
calculation.
GOLDSTEIN gave this break-
down of the foundation's estimate
of the possible loss from the
Arab embargo:

-Loss of 1.3 million barrels of
Arab crude oil a day that is no
longeravailable to U. S. refiner-
ies.
-Loss of up to 500,000 barrels
a day in products from refiner-
ies in the Caribbean area that
used Arab oil.
-LOSS OF 400,000 to 500,000
barrels a day in products re-
fined from Arab oil in Europe
that the United States would
have imported.
-Loss of up to 200,000 barrels
a dayin refined products from
Canada, if that nation were to
embargo shipments to the Unit-
ed States because of the loss of
Arab crude oil at its East Coast
refineries.
-Loss of from 200,000 to 300,-
000 barrels a day of refined pro-
ducts needed by the U. S. mili-
tary.
The total would come to 2.8
million barrels a day at most,
Goldstein noted.
