High court to rule on Laetrile
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court, stepping into a medical and legal storm of controversy, said yesterday that it would decide whether the federal government may ban Laetrile, a substance that is derived from a chemical found naturally in apricot and peach pits.

Carter plans 'lean' budget
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Carter urged Congress yesterday to let him spend more for defense but cut some job programs that have been criticized in controversy within the Democratic ranks.
Describing his budget as "lean and austere," Carter said he plans to reduce this year's $37.4 billion budget deficit to $29 billion in 1890.
The deficit would fall to $1 billion in 1981.
Liberals within the Democratic party, particularly Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., have criticized proposed cuts in school lunch, jobs and other programs.
Carter says his cuts will fall hardest on people who are not in desperate need.
Carter and his chief political lieutenant, Hamilton Jordan, say the anti-inflation effort will help poor people more than they will be harmed by the cuts in social spending.
He said his budget includes $4.5 billion more for the poor, with increases in
programs such as food stamps, Medicaid,
subsidized housing, education, urban
grants, and helping to provide food for
undprivileged women and children.
The budget includes $6.9 billion for revenue sharing, for state and local governments, but officials said no decision was made about continuing the program after 1980.
Also, perhaps more importantly, inflation accounts for all but seven-tenths of one percent of the $4.5 billion increase. Reductions in just one other program not only cut the cost of public service jobs for the unemployed, more than offsets even that 0.7 boost.
However, Carter is scaling back the urban policy initiatives he proposed last March. While spending for existing housing subsidies would rise because of previous commitments, the administration seeks to cut fewer new subsidized units than in 1978.
Military backs Bakhtiar
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Iran's top military gave full support yesterday to new Saudi-backed fighters.

Shortly after receiving that message, Moore called the jurors into the courtroom and polled them individually. He asked them to provide their names and to reach a decision and declared a mistrial.
The last message the jury sent to Moore said, "It would serve no purpose to continue it."
THE JURORS received the case last Tuesday night and the first vote resulted in 8-4 deadlock, a split that never changed as all cases taken in the 43 hours of deliberation.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR Tolly Wilson
accused the Davis defense team, headed by attorney Richard Haynes, of trying to frustrate justice by dragging out the procedures.
"I think it was a deliberate attempt to stretch it out and see if something wouldn't happen, possibly a juror would get sick or could not continue in this case." Wilson said.
Davis was arrested after leaving a restaurant parking lot where he handed out pills.
"We weren't really talking about killing people." Davis testified.
The defendant, jailed without bond since Aug. 20, told the jury that the entire episode leading to his arrest had been a misunderstanding in which he was framed by David McCrory, an employee and long-time acquaintance.
Jurors were asked to choose between McCrystal's claim that his boss pressured him to arrange the slayings of 15 enemies in a scheme of paranoia and revenge, or the explanation he was just "playing along" with the FBI in the sapd conversations.
