Demonstrators confront court, police again
HAMPTON, N.H. (UPI)
Chanting "All of us or none of us," 300
anti-nuclear demonstrators
blockaded a courthouse yesterday
and slashed tires on police cruisers in
an effort to keep 12 comrades from
being jailed.
The effort failed:
It was the

protesters confronted police. The

on the earlier scuffles followed the
protesters from the Seabrook nuclear
power plant construction site to their

On the Middle East, Carter said he
would not change U.S. policy and
negotiate with the Palestine Liberation
Organization, as has been urged by
former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young
and others.
"We will not negotiate with the PLO,"
Carter said. "We will not recognize the
PLO until after the PLO recognizes
Israel's right to exist."
Carter revealed that in his private
meeting with Pope John Paul II he and
the pontiff expressed surprise at the
enthusiasm the American people had
shown the pope during his U.S. visit.
"I had no idea it would be that en
thusiastic," Carter said, adding that he
thought the American people responded
so warmly because "there is a hunger in
our country for moral and ethical and
religious principles- things that do not
change things that are decent and
honest."

a fire escape on the east side of the

tactics 20 minutes later as they
escorted the 10 other defendants from

At least two demonstrators were

Cuba, and he believes the SALT II treaty will be ratified this year.

county only collects about 164 tons a day, he said.
The problem with separating materials is the
distance to available commercial markets, he said.
According to the plan, markets for paper are between
55 to 80 miles away. The nearest market for glass is 140
miles away, for metal, 350 miles, and for aluminum,
1,440 miles, he said.
"The resource recovery project is in the feasibility
stage in planning," Regan said. "The plan would cost
$20,000 with the borough paying half the cost."
Federal grants would cover the other half, he said.
Municipal Manager Carl B. Fairbanks said,
"Recycling is overcome with problems, including the
amount it would cost to haul material to market. There
are ups and downs in the market. $4O a ton for paper

House passes pay hike,
bill sent back to Senaie
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
House, acting within four minutes
with no debate, yesterday passed a
temporary funding measure for
several major agencies, including a
5.5 percent pay increase for members
,of Congress and high-paid federal
workers.
The action came after a con
troversial continuing resolution
needed for those agencies whose
regular funding bills have not passed
was split in two parts in an effort to
isolate an anti-abortion amendment
from the remainder of the resolution.
• • The rapid voice vote sent the bill to
the Senate.
The Senate two weeks ago balked at
the 5.5 percent pay increase for
House and Senate members and sent
the House a bill without the pay raise.
The House then took a 10-day recess
and, in effect, told the Senate to take
the bill or leave it. The Senate refused
to go along and again sent the House a
bill without the pay increase.
Court to hear
on press restriction
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The Supreme
Court agreed Monday to hear a case
questioning whether the press and public
may be barred from criminal trials, as
well as from pretrial hearings as the
justices decreed last July.
The justices will hear arguments by
two Richmond, Va., newspapers which
challenged their exclusion from a 1978
murder trial. The court will then decide
whether it has jurisdiction to fully
review the case.
In its split decision in the Gannett
Newspapers case July 2, the court ruled
that judges have broad discretion to
close pretrial hearings, but created
confusion among the nation's jurists as
to whether the same applies to full
fledged trials.
The appeal was brought by the News-
Leader and the Times Dispatch, the
state capital newspapers which lost out
at the Virginia Supreme Court on their
challenge to the state's law allowing
judges the option of closing criminal
trials.
John Leard, executive editor of the
Richmond Times-Dispatch and the
Richmond News Leader, called the
court's agreements to hear preliminary
arguments in the case "a step in the
right direction."
He said the case could "serve as a
useful vehicle for the court and the news
media that were confused" in the
Gannett case.
The Gannett decision has prompted
unusual public comments by four
justices attempting to explain precisely
what it meant, and a number of judges
around the country have taken it as
applying to actual criminal trials.
The Virginia Supreme Court cited the
Gannett ruling in upholding Judge
Richard H.C. Taylor's decision to close
the murder trial in Hanover County, Va.
In the Virginia court-coverage case,
reporters Kevin McCarthy of the
Richmond News Leader and Timothy
Wheeler of the Richmond Times-
Dispatch were prohibited from covering
the murder trial of John Paul Stevenson,
a Baltimore man.
Stevenson had three previous trials,
two of which ended in mistrial. When his
fourth one opened, his attorney asked
Taylor to exclude the press and public.
Taylor agreed, observing that "having

The Senate now must take up the
issue, again, after which a House-
Senate conference committee will
work out differences between the two
bills and send it back to both houses
for final action.
Rapid action was necessary
because several agencies are out of
funds and will be unable to pay their
employees or their bills later this
week.
Recognizing the need for quick
action, opponents of the pay raise
decided not to fight it and to leave the
issue for.. the„ Howe-Senate cbp

distracting to the jury." Atlhough he
conceded that was not a "very good
reason," Taylor ordered the courtroom
cleared.

exclude "any persons whose presence
would impair the conduct of a fair trial."•
