Reverses Lower Court
Court Upholds Firearm Act
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court Monday unanimously uphold the contraversia 1988 Gun Control Act, rejecting a lawsuit by a state constitutionalism against self-incriminatory gun laws.
The decision, in the case of two Californians charged with possessing unregistered hand grenades, also reversed a lower court's ruling that the indictment was ineffective because the accused did not know the weapons were not registered.
The court ruled that mere possession of such weapons was not self-incriminating and thus did not constitute a party, not the recipient, who must register the pay tax. And it said in the California case that not knowing the weapons were unregistered meant, since the public could be expected to know them.
In a furry of other actions before taking a two-week recess, the court:
- Left standing, on a deadlocked vote,
  previous decisions allowing federal agents to eavesdroop on a suspect and an informer, even without a search warrant.
- Refused to make retracony a 1969 ruler that police may not search a whole house when they make an arrest there, only the suspect's immediate surroundings.
appeal was of a 1968 narcotics conviction where evidence resulted from full search.
- Retuisset, on a narrow legal point, to review the constitutionality of a 1970 Caste-based teaching that public school students may not be trained to class without written parental consent.
- Denied a hearing to the school board in Netcog, N.J., which sought to use prayers printed in the Congressional Record for voluntary classroom devotions.
The lower court also ruled out the in-
junction on grounds the two did not know the
injunction.
In overturning the latter decision, Justice William O. Douglas wrote: "This is a regulatory measure in the interests of the public safety, which may well be promised on account of the would hardly be surprised to learn that the regulation of hand grenades is not an innocent act."
The law requires registration of certain firearms and their transfer with the Treasury as required.

Forty-seven-year-old Dean Katz came to KU in 1968, from New York University where he was an associate professor of social welfare.
"I'll protest anything that stands in the way of social justice, equal opportunity, personal development and economic security." Arthur T. Gurzey, former Social Welfare, said recently in an interview.
Katz is for women's liberation if it involves modern day care centers and government-affiliated daycare.
"Many women have not and are not receiving equal opportunity for their own development. I support state and federal legislation regarding fullest opportunity for our women. And that includes child day care facilities." Katz said.
He said he personally saw "no moral sanctions against abortion. If a woman wants to have this kind of surgical procedure and can't afford it, and there are government programs available, there are no reasons why she shouldn't have it."

"And there no excuse for it. Our federal legislators have been unwilling to finance the budget."
THE UNITED STATES, for all its
Katz, who has worked closely with Headstart, said he thinks the program is "only a beginning" in an attempt to provide good preschool training and cultural enrichment. He said Headstart had always been operating on a less than adequate budget for quality programs.
Katz is program consultant with the Office of Child Development of Health, Education and Welfare and was a former consultant for the Children Child Guidance Center, New York, N.Y.
WAR AND PEACE evoke strong emotions with Katz. He intends to protest "the needless killing of American young men and Vietnamese soldiers" for moratorium in Washington, D.C., on April 24.
significant amount of my time since the Vietnam conflict to working at efforts of the United Nations.
Katz said that "contrary to what certain people in the administration are saying, individuals who work for peace for this nation are truly the most loyal citizens."
"War just keeps perpetuating and is destructive of the most precious resource of a nation—human lives. A nation isn't just an abstract idea, but the people who live in it. Anything that destroys the lives of the people in a nation destroys the nation." Katz said.
"The issue of war and peace is the single most important one to American society today."
"I tend to agree that the Jewish minority in the Soviet Union has been severely misrepresented. I believe that if a minority group is being discriminated against, at least they ought to be able to leave and go to Israel or the United States."

"I've noticed a real seriousness to learn
about social welfare."
He attributed that nervousness to students direct participation in practical work exerted over a longer period.
"I WON'T EVER give up professional work experience while teaching." Katz said.
His background includes being a community and civil affairs officer in Australia, New Guinea and the Phillipines for the U.S. Army; social worker at Stuyvesant Neighborhood House and director of East Tremont Neighborhood House.
Social welfare students form 50 per cent of the curriculum committee.
"I'm very student-oriented. I've got to go on. My main purpose is to provide an educational experience for students. In our school, we greatly influence the curriculum," he said.
Katz received his master's degree in social welfare from Columbia University in 1952 and Ph.D. in 1968 from New York University, where he served as a professor. He also taught at Adelaide University.
Social welfare is a profession with a "real contribution to society" and gives the best return.
KATZ SAID THE primary purpose of his school was to continue to produce the number of social workers increasingly needed in urban areas, and also to contribute to the national pool.
Katz, who grew up in Bronx, N.Y., during the depression, became interested in social work through participation in the theater presented in settlement houses.
"My family was poor, and there was a lot of unemployment. I wouldn't have been able to get a job," said Rachel, Administration work-study fund," Katz said. "That's the main reason why I驴 college
"I've directed a lot of actors and actresses who are new social workers," he added.
In theater, Katz has portrayed roles in Insen's "Enemy of the People" and Clifford Oetels "Awake and Sing" and "Watling for Lelty." Katz also has credits in several broadway plays, and he had a part in a radio show in New York City called "The Life of Ghencian Khan."
