Trespassing reporters may be prosecuted
From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court yesterday
allowed states to prosecute news reporters and
photographers who accompany trespassing demon-
strators onto private property, such as the site of a
proposed nuclear power plant.
The justices, without comment, rejected the ap-
peals of six Oklahoma journalists who had argued
that their trespassing convictions and $25 fines
violated the constitutional guarantee of a free press.
The journalists were arrested in 1979 along with 339
demonstrators while on the grounds of the fenced-in
Black Fox Station, a 2,200-acre tract of land in Rogers
County, Okla., where a nuclear plant may be built.
the high court left intact an Oklahoma appeals
court ruling that the Constitution's First Amendment
does not shield "newspersons from state criminal
prosecution on their new-gathering function."
The state appeals court that upheld the journalists'
convictions said, "The First Amendment which en-
sures freedom of the press does not guarantee the
press a constitutional right of special access not
available to the public generally."
In other action, the high court cleared the way for
American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to pay $276
million, one of the largest antitrust awards in history,
for cutting a rival company out of the telephone
equipment market.
Ignoring warnings from state phone regulators that
the ruling would mean higher customer bills
the justices let stand the award to Litton Systems Inc.
Sledders dodge trees,
police in arboretum
(Contnueatrom Page 1)
destroyed from sledding and building
fires, Jaeger says.
"The hillsides get slippery, so (sled-
ders) can't get back up the hills," he
says. "They grab hold of limbs or small
trees, they get broken off.. . and soon
the whole area is cleaned out."
This month, Jaeger says he found
three fresh fire sites, after one night of
traying. Jaeger says he supports
students right to have fun, but not at the
expense of broken tree limbs.
Replacing damaged trees is also ex-
pensive and funds are short, Jaeger
says. The arboretum's maintenance
budget is funded by the School of
Natural Resources, which underwent a
25 percent'budget cut this year.
Aside from the damage and risks,
nocturnal sledders are also loud and
boisterous, and Jaeger says he gets
nightly complaints from his neighbors.
What starts out as the scraping
screeches of trays etching trails into
the icy snow, rapidly evolves into
giggles and laughs and finally into
"screaming" and hollering he says.

City council invalidates
nuclear-free zone proposal
(Continued from Page 1)
anyway, which could drop the number
of signatures below the 5,000 requisite.
Michael said MAD consulted the Ann
Arbor Tenants Union, sponsors of the
weatherization proposal, and never
worried about notarization because it
wasn't needed for the weatherization
petition.
According to Michael, the
weatherization group was told by the
City Clerk's office that they didn't need
the signatures notarized. "It's just an
indication that citizen's groups cannot
get correct information from city hall,"
Michael said.
A YEAR AGO, a similar resolution to
make Ann Arbor a nuclear-free zone
was proposed to City Council and
defeated by the council's Republican
majority.
MAD has two options: The group can
try to win City Council sponsorship of
the proposal by Feb. 6 to place it on the
upcoming ballot anyway or MAD can
start all over again with the signatures
and wait for the November ballot.
"We will be going ahead with the
proposal," Michael said. "Our cam-
paign has simply been plagued with
misinformation throughout the entire
collection."
COUNCILMAN PETERSON con-
demned Laidlaw's action. "Because
this proposal is not popular with the
people in city government, they seem to
be running it through the mill instead of
simply overlooking the oversight," he
said.
MAD and other groups will hold an in-
formation and decision-making
meeting about the nuclear-free issue at
Canterbury Loft tonight at 7:30.
Michael said there will be an announ-
cement tomorrow concerning the
future of the proposal.
IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press International reports
FLOC, county officials reach
agreement in civil rights suit
TOLEDO, Ohio-Putnam County officials and a union of migrant farm
workers reached an out-of-court settlement yesterday of a $2 million civil
rights suit claiming the workers and their union had been harassed.
The settlement represents a victory for farmworkers far beyond the
$180,000 they will receive, said Baldemar Velasquez, head of the union, the
Farm Labor Organizing Committee.
The settlement was announced moments before a federal trial was to
begin on FLOC's charges of harassment, intimidation and illegal surveilan-
ce against Putnam County Sheriff Robert Beutler and several deputies.
The case stemmed from a Labor Day 1979 confrontation between several
dozen FLOC members and law enforcement officers in a Putnam County
tomatoe field.
The farm workers, most of whom migrate each summer from Florida and
Texas to pick the northwest Ohio vegetable crop, staged a sit-down.strike in
front of a mechanical harvester being used for the first time to pick
tomatoes.
Police look for U.S. soldier's
six kidnappers; hoax possible
SCHWAFBISCH-GMUEND, West Germany-Military police searched
yesterday for six anti-nuclear activists who an American soldier said held
him hostage for 43 hours. Investigators tried to determine whether his ac-
count was true.
Spec. 4 Liam Fowler, 21, recovering from exhaustion at the U.S. Army's
5th General Hospital in Stuttgart, was expected to return today to the Per-
shing missile brigade he is assigned to in the southern town of Schwaebisch-
Gmuend.
Fowler, of Port Orange, Fla., was found in a Bavarian barn on Sunday,
about 140 miles southeast of the base. He claimed the kidnappers had
threatened to kill him unless the U.S. missiles deployed by his brigade last
month were dismantled. The nine rockets are the first of 108 U.S.-built Per-
shing 2s NATO plans to station on German soil.
German authorities coordinating the investigation with U.S. military
police said the matter was being handled as a kidnap, but neither side ruled
out the possibility of a hoax.
Herpes may cause heart disease
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla-Fragments of herpes viruses have been found in
diseased human arteries, suggesting that the viruses might be one cause of
heart disease, researchers said yesterday.
Many heart attacks and strokes are due to hardening of the arteries, or
atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits build up inside arteries and even-
tually block blood flow.
That blockage can cause a heart attack or a stroke, depending on where it
occurs.
The new research raises the possibility that atherosclerosis can begin
when herpes viruses infect artery walls.
Herpes viruses are known to cause cells to grow rapidly. And the rapid
growth of cells in artery walls is thought to be one of the first events in the
formation of a fatty deposit.
In a complex process that is not completely understood, that rapid cell
growth is followed by fatty deposits along the artery walls.
The body's own defense system may also speed the formation of the
deposits, known as plaques.
Hussein calls return of Egypt
to Arab world a must for unity
AMMAN, Jordan-King Hussein told Parliament yesterday that the
Palestine issue was "the first and foremost preoccupation" of his new
government and that a return of Egypt to the Arab fold was indispensable to
Arab unity. -
Hussein asked the Palestine Liberation Organization to help enable Jor-
dan to do its duty to "Palestine and its people."
In his speech, the king mentioned no political leaders by name, but he has
invited Arafat to join him in talks on solving the Palestinian problem.
"Arab Egypt cannot be left out of the ranks of the Arab Nation, which is
indispensable to Egypt, while Egypt is indispensable to the Arab'Nation,"
Hussein said.
Druse gunners shell east Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon-Druse gunners pounded Christian east Beirut yesterday
with artillery and rocket fire, and U.S. special envoy Donald Rumsfeld con-
ferred with President Amin Gemayel on ways of calming Lebanon's turmoil.
Hundreds of Christian families spent most of the day in basements and
bomb shelters as shells and rockets rained around their homes. Police said
10 civilians were killed and 40 wounded.
Blasts shook the presidential palace in the pine woods of suburban Baabda
while Rumsfeld and Gemayel met. Police said a few rounds crashed about a
half mile from the palace.
Rumsfeld declined to speak to reporters after his three-hour meeting with
Gemayel. Local radio stations said the American envoy briefed Gemayel on
his talks with Syrian and Israeli government leaders.
U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz told reporters in London yesterday it
was "not possible to report any real progress" from Rumsfeld's visits to
Syria and Israel.
Yesterday's bombardment was the fifth straight day of shelling in Beirut.
