The Michigan Daily-Saturday, August 12, 1978-Page 13 Judge blasts Farber for 'attitude' . 1""r #1 . e juuge a u, r1 esuing ru 'ar NEWARK, N.J. (AP)-New York times reporter Myron Farber was returned to jail yesterday after a federal judge lashed out at the newsman for his "cavalier attitude" in refusing the tell the court that he stood to profit aubstantially from a hook contract on the Dr. X murder case. Yesterday's session had been requested by Far- ber's lawyers in an effort to have U.S. District Judge Frederick Lacey set bail, which he refused to do. Farber has been jailed indefinitely on contempt charges since Aug. 4 for refusing to surrender his notes in the murder trial of Dr. Mario Jascalevich. THE FOCUS OF yesterday's session shifted from the bail to the book contract after Jascalevich's lawyers filed a brief with the court revealing the existence of the contract signed by Farber. Conten- ts of the manuscripts were not revealed in court. Lacey said the court was not aware that the reporter had signed a $75,000 contract with Doubleday Book Co. to write a book on the so-called Dr. X case. "Mr. Farber has demonstrated a cavalier at- titude toward the courts. He never brought to the at- tention of the court the profitability of the matter," Lacey said.

THAT NEW "scrotype" differs slightly from the strain that killed 34 persons attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia two years ago. But its existence could mean the Legionnaires' disease bacterium and its close relatives are more common than previously believed. The CDC has confirmed a total of 135 deaths from the disease during the past two years, but health officials believe there have been many more undetected cases that have been recorded simply as pneumonia deaths. CDC researchers said scientists have tracked the disease to air-conditioner water at Indiana University's Memorial Union in Bloomington. There were 19 cases reported at the union and two from the general area in the past year. Three of the 21 Bloomington-area victims died.
