Bargain flights approval asked WASHINGTON (UPI) The Civil Aeronautics Board asked President Carter yesterday to approve daily scheduled transatlantic “Sky train” flights by Britain’s Laker Airways Ltd. ‘at the bargain price of $135. Laker’s proposed New York-London fare would be 65 per cent below the normal economy class cost of $385 and 80 per cent below the $659 price of normal first class tickets. The proposed flights would have only one class of service. The London-New York fare would be 59 British pounds, which the board said amounts to about $lO2 at current ex change rates. Skytrain tickets would be sold on a first-come, first served basis just hours before each flight, with no op portunity to make advance reservations. Despite that inconvenience, the board .said, the cut-rate price would ■be “a boon to. . . the traveling public.” A CAB spokesman said the board recommended a one year approval of Laker’s proposal, subject to con ditions designed to let U.S. airlines initiate similar low cost transatlantic flights, as part of its experimental drive to offer the public lower-cost air travel. In its recommendation to Govt, may set school desegregation deadline WASHINGTON (UPI) - The administration may set a national deadline for desegregation of elementary and secondary schools, Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano said yesterday. He said such a deadline should have been set years ago. “I would like, if it is humanly possible, and possible fairly, to set some {/Me Fred Perry &!ade Fred e %£F(-ed Perry SPtUe Fred Perry Frl!RirorfEll¥rl2sßfe S/afe Fred Perry SPtUe Fred Perry Fred U||B REGISTER NOW FOR SUMMER CLASSES /pRAFT in ( (CENTRE Hand Built Pottery Vj Wheel Thrown Pottery Stained Glass • Macrame Rugmaking • Loom Weaving 312 hub Batik • Basketry 1-5,7-10 Daiy Classes begin June 13 10-6 Saturdays INFO: 863-0611 e' * 4# _ tic 233 S.

The CAB request represented a major victory for Laker, which has suc cessfully fought opposition by the British government as well as from other airlines. Because the President must approve all foreign air routes, final determination of whether to permit Skytrain flights will be up to Carter. Laker will not be granted a monopoly on low-cost flights, the CAB said. If Carter ap proves the flights, it , said, Laker may not start service until 60 days after filing a formal tariff and starting date so U.S. carriers will have time to propose competing flights. kind of objective date by which we could have the elementary and secondary schools of this nation desegregated,” Califano said at a news conference. “We are looking at the possibility of doing that.” Califano said a national deadline might vary by region or on an urban-rural basis, “but I’d like to have an ob jective we could dhoot toward.” Tiger New Balance Gatoraide Body Punch Frank Shorter Carter pleads for reform WASHINGTON (UPI) President Carter yesterday asked congressional leaders to give Social Security reform high priority because there is “grave concern” among the elderly that their pensions are-in danger.

O’Neill quoted Carter saying, “There is grave concern on the part of our senior citizens about a certain element of the press telling about the Social Security system going down the drain.” He said the President “would like some Social Although he. offered no detailed plan, Califano said he is willing “to look at a variety of techniques,” and cited the Chicago school case “that had been festering for nine' years.” He said the HEW’s Midwest regional office is using a nongovernment consultant to negotiate a teacher desegregation plan in the nation’s second largest city.

The justices upheld 5 to 4 an Illinois obscenity law under which a storekeeper was convicted in Peoria County of selling two sado-masochistic publications. The dissenters notably Justice John Paul Stevens who considers current ob scenity guidelines unrealistic said the court was reneging on its promise that no one would be prosecuted for selling material not specifically described in a statute. Wesley Ward, who drew a day in jail and a $2OO fine for selling publications entitled “Bizarre World” and “Illustrated Case Histories, A Study of Sado-Masochism,” contended the Illinois law did not spell out specific kinds of forbidden sexual contact. In the New York case, decided on a 7-2 vote, Justice FBI probe may go on WASHINGTON (UPI) Attorney General Griffin Bell told Congress yesterday he is considering ‘‘further proceedings” before the New York grand jury that has already indicted a former FBI agent for illegal in vestigative activities. Bell also said he has authorized investigation in the District of Columbia of “matters relating to those alleged FBI abuses before the New York grand jury. ” He said he was disclosing these “two aspects” of the FBI investigations because of published speculation that highly The Daily Collegian Friday, June 10,1977 — William Brennan said the statute governing con traceptives is an invasion of privacy and a violation of free speech. The law banned all ad vertising of contraceptives, made it a crime to distirbute any contraceptives to a person under 16 and allowed only licensed pharmacists to distribute them to persons over 16. Since the challenge in volved only nonprescription contraceptives such as condoms, foams and jellies, the decision did not cover pills and intrauterine devices. Brennan said “the decision whether or not to beget or bear a child is at the very heart of a cluster of con stitutionally protected choices” the court upheld. The privacy of both minors and adults is infringed upon by the law, the opinion said.. A spokeswoman for the private organization Planned Parenthood said only Utah has a law barring the sale of prophylactics to minors and it has not been enforced. She said 11 states —■ Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, they will lead to prosecution of other FBI agents. “One,” Bell said in congressional testimony,’ “I have under review and consideration the question of further proceedings before the grand jury in New York. “Two, I have authorized continued investigation in the District of Columbia to look into matters relating to those before the New York grand jury.” Bell testified before a House Government Operations subcommittee, but said.little more about the year-long Justice Department in- Idaho, Indiana, Mass achusetts, Michigan, Mon tana, New Jersey, South Dakota and Wisconsin—have laws regulating advertising, but there are likely to be exemptions for such things as medical publications. Stevens, who concurred in this case, cited a study showing no one has ever been successfully prosecuted in any state for providing contraceptive information to a minor. The justices expressed varying views on different phases of the case but only Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice William Rehnquist would have upheld the statute. - In other opinions the court: Decided 7 to 2 that a military contractor sued by a 'serviceman for personal injury may not, in turn, sue the federal government.

He refused to tell reporters after the hearing whether the investigation in Washington was to determine whether higher FBI officials authorized the investigative tactics used in New York in the early 19705. And he told the sub committee he will not give them further details on the investigation without getting a court authorization, because of federal law.
