Court OKs anti-nuclear group's
bid to block clean-up methods

From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court
yesterday sustained a lower court
ruling which permitted challenges in
court of the plans for clean-up activities
the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
i Pennsylvania. The decision was seen
a victory for the environmental
aups fighting action planned- by the
#4lear plant and the Nuclear
regulatory Commission.
Over three dissents, the court refused
hear arguments by the owners of the
pled power plant against a ruling
tallows anti-nuclear groups to block
h dumping of mildly radioactive
lute water into the Susquehanna
ter.
S1HE THIRD U.S Circuit Court of
eals had prevously found that plans
the utility and the Nuclear
ulatory Commission to dump
,000 gallons of treated water into the
tKer could be challenged in court under
p Constitution, the National En-
onmental Policy Act, and the Clean
dater Act.
IESTERDAY'S ACTION "gives us a
*bcedural mechanism for quickly
llenging dangerous actions," said
ith Dorsey, a lawyer for the group
tat went to court to stop dischasrge of
Y water contaminated in the March
1919 nuclear accident.
In other action yesterday, the
,preme Court refused to shield federal

judges, including the high court's nine
justices themselves, from a financial
disclosure law.
THE JUSTICES, without comment,
left intact rulings that all federal judges
are among those top-ranking gover-
nment officials who must comply with
the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.
Six federal judges in the South had
argued that they and other judges
should not have to publicly disclose in
annual statements how much money
they have and what they own.
The arguments did not win a single
Supreme Court vote, a surprising out-
come considering that the judges' ap-
peal had been pending before, the
justices for nearly a year.
THE SIX JUDGES who challenged
the law's application to themselves
argued that compliance "will subject
judges and their families to the threat
of unnecessary political and social
pressure."
They said compliance with the law,
"will increase the threat of direct
physical attack by disgruntled litigants
or convicted criminals."
A federal trial court and the Fifth
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
against the judges. "It is evident that
there is a growing public demand for
accountability and integrity of public'
officials and the act is designed to carry
out that purpose," the appeals court
said.
THE SIX JUDGES had been allowed

to withhold their financial disclosure
statements for 1978 and 1979, but now
face having to release them.
Generating a flurry of paperwork at
the end of a four-week recess, the court
also took these actions:
* Left intact a $350,000 libel award
won by former San Francisco Mayor
Joseph Alioto for a 1969 article in Look
magazine linking him to the Mafia.
" Agreed to judge the validity of a
law allowing only the U.S. Postal Ser-
vice to put things in mail boxes at
private homes. A federal judge in New
York struck down the law as uncon-
Ui

stitutional when it is applied to civic
organizations.
* Turned away an attempt by
comedian Redd Foxx's wife to have the
site of the couple's pending divorce trial
moved from Las Vegas, Nev., to Los
Angeles.
" Left intact a ruling that gives
Delaware prison inmates who are
denied partitipation in work-release
programs the right to go into federal
court to challenge those denials.
Delaware prison officials told the
justices a lower court's ruling would
throw prison administration nationwide
into chaos.
