Court rules military secrets more important than ecology
WASHINGTON—Protecting military secrets is more important than protecting the environment, the Supreme Court yesterday ruled unanimously.
The justices, whose decision was a sharp blow to ecology and peace groups, said the Pentagon need not prepare environmental impact assessments on all projects.
The court struck down a ruling that had ordered the Navy to assess environmental consequences of storing nuclear weapons at a naval base in Hawaii, on a site just one mile from a major flight path to Honolulu International Airport.
In another important decision released yesterday, Sandra Day O'Connor wrote her first opinion as a justice—a-9 owing to ruling Interior Secretary James Watt need not experiment with offshore oil leasing arrangements but might mean more revenue for the government and less for oil companies.
Inquiry into Allen's $1,000 dropped
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department yesterday dropped its investigation of $1,000 found in Richard Allen's aid, and the national security agency said it would seek further action.
The department's announcement said it would continue looking into other aspects of Allen's financial affairs. Allen expressed confidence he would be cleared of all allegations of improprieties with respect to the gift of two watches and the sale of his consulting firm.
No special prosecutor will be requested on the $1,000 that Allen intercepted when Japanese journalists attempted to give it to Nancy Reagan. The request for a prosecutor was made in 2008.
The statement said, however, it was unclear whether provisions for a special prosecutor will be triggered by Allen's receipt of two watches from the Japanese journalists and the revisions of his statements on his financial disclosure form.
As to whether he expects to return to his national security post, Allen said that would "deend on my colleagues at the White House."
Aging committee votes against cuts
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, denying that he was "an enemy of my own generation," yesterday promised the White House Conference on Aging that he would not betray the millions who relied on Social Security. The Social Security Committee, meanwhile, went on record against
bent on to carve it out so not for future recessions.
A committee vote against using general revenues to shore up the system also stirred controversy, although another conference panel later turned down a measure opposing use of general revenues.
The chief lobbyist for the powerful 13-million member American Association of Retired Persons later said that unless other committees approved more favorable Social Security resolutions, the American Association of Retired Persons might urge its delegates to vote down the entire conference report.
Guards debate penitentiary security
LEAVENWORTH. The state cannot have a magic wand to correct security problems in the state Senate Pentitentiary, Senator Ed Riley, R-Amherst County quarterly judge.
In a meeting at the Cody Hotel, which followed the installation of members of the new KSP Lodge into the Fraternal Order of Police, four legislators and about 60 KSP staff members rehashed options that the state could take to solve security problems.
"Obviously we are concerned with the problems at the institution, or we would not be here—any of us," Reilly said. "We're not here because this is a
However, Reilly said the problems at KSP that had taken years to develop could not be solved over night.
The nine guards who were suspended Friday after they refused to let a colleague of theirs enter the building and the port of call of the 260 employees joined the FOP during a ceremony at the hotel.
178 killed in Yugoslav plane crash
AJACCIO, Corsica—A chartered Yugoslav jet packed with Yugoslav tourists sat inside a cloud-shred mountain yesterday while approaching an airport blacklisted as unsafe by pilots, killing all 178 people aboard in the worst plane crash of 1981.
The inext-Adria DC-9 Superior 80 was only minutes away from touching down at Ajaccio airport. The International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations has blocked the airport because it believes landing aircraft should be enough to guide jellies down safely through the surrounding mountains.
Jacapio air controllers said that they had been asking for more modern radar for several years but that the French government had been unwilling to invest $9 million in equipment because it said not enough planes used the airport to justify that cost.
Controllers may get federal jobs
WASHINGTON—President Reagan said teamsters Union leaders yesterday he is considering a change in policy to allow fired air traffic controls.
"The president suggested to the Teamsters leaders today that he was considering the question of whether or not the controllers who have been fired should continue to be barred from any federal employment for a three-year period, as is currently the case," a White House statement said.
It said that before making any decision on that point, Reagan wants to confer with transportation Secretary Drew Lewis.
The statement quoted Reagan as telling the Teamsters, "Our first responsibility is to the controllers who stayed on the job, working long hours
But apokesman David Gergen emphasized to reporters that Reagan is not considering putting the fire air controllers back in the towers at this time.
Casev fit to serve. committee saves
WASHINGTON—The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded yesterday that William Casey, the CIA director, was "not off to serve," but criticized
The five-to 10-page report, ending a four-month investigation of Casey, was to be officially released today. In the meantime, a copy was being sent
Sen. Harrison Schmitt, R-N-M, and Sen. Walter Huddleton, D-KY, said the committee's main criticism was that Casey was "intentitive" to detail in disclosing his previous legal clients and his past business dealings, some of which resulted in lawsuits against companies with which he was
Huddleston, however, said "there may have been enough evidence to come up with a more definite conclusion," and enough for President Reagan to consider asking Casey to resign.
Senate postpones Williams' trial
WASHINGTON—Senate leader announced yesterday they had delayed until January the expiration trial of Sen. Harrison Williams, D-N.J., who was expected to appear in court next month.
Howard Baker, Senate major leader, said the Ethics Committee was ready to make its case against Williams before the Senate tomorrow—as first scheduled—but agreed to a delay to give Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, more time to prepare to defend Williams on the floor.
Inouye, who lead the postponement, told the Senate, "I have not been asked to" to lead Williams' defense, "nor am I imposing myself on the gentleman from New Jersey. But I wish to actively participate, and therefore I will need some time."
