Supreme Court opens term with camera case
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court opened its 1986-87 term yesterday, the first with Chief Justice William Rehnquist. It let stand a decision in a multi-million dollar patent infringement suit and agreed to rule on the constitutionality of an Indiana law regulating corporate mergers.
The court returned to the bench on the traditional first Monday in October. Rehnquist, the 16th chief justice, took his seat at the center of the court and new Associate Justice Antonin Scalia moved to his far left as the most junior justice.
The Supreme Court let stand an appeals court ruling that Eastman Kodak Cof infringed on patents held by Polaroid Corp. in a case that forced Kodak out of the multi-million dollar instant photography business.
The appeals court upheld lower court rulings that Kodak infringed on patents held by Polaroid that are necessary to produce instant film and cameras and ordered Kodak to stop.
As a result of the rulings, Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak was forced out of the instant photography business. The company reportedly sold about $1.4 billion in instant cameras and film since 1976. Kodak, which had sales of $10.6 billion in 1984, had an estimated 16 million instant photography customers
The justices will hear arguments this term in an appeal by the CTS Corp., of Elkhar, Ind., and the state of Indiana. The appeal challenges a 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling striking down the 1986 control share acquisitions statute.
whether an Indiana law aimed at protecting companies from hostile takeovers by out-of-state businesses was constitutional.
The case involves Dynamics Corp. of America, a New York company that last March made a hostile tender offer for 1 million shares of CTS. The purchase would have brought Dynamics' holdings to 27.5 percent of CTS.
The offer prompted CTS to invoke the protections of the new Indiana law. The law requires a majority of existing disinterested shareholders to grant voting rights to anyone acquiring controlling shares of an Indiana corporation within 50 days of the offer.
Dynamics Corp., frustrated by the 50-day waiting period imposed by the law, filed suit challenging its constitutionality. A federal district court ruled that the law violated the Constitution's supremacy clause because it conflicted with federal law and because it infringed on interstate commerce.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed.
In other action yesterday, the court said it would decide whether the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 provided the authority to
enter private property when necessary to clean up hazardous substances. The law gives the Environmental Protection Agency broad powers to clean up abandoned waste sites.
The justices will hear arguments this term in an appeal by the EPA of a lower court order prohibiting agency officials access to the Outboard Marine Corp. at Wakeau Harbor, Ill.  — the agency's No. 1 cleanup priority in the state.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year that the EPA couldn't survey the site, take subsurface soil samples or conduct other preliminary activities for a planned $21 million dredging operation in the harbor and at the company's harborfront property.
U.S. and South Africa may meet, paper says
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
JOHANNESBORG, South Africa - The United States and South Africa planned a high-level meeting in a bid to patch up relations soured by new U.S. sanctions approved by Congress over President Reagan's veto, a newspaper said yesterday.
The pro-government Beeld newspaper said Foreign Minister Roelof "Pik" Botha will meet Chester Crocker, assistant secretary of state for African affairs.
Quoting unnamed government sources, the newspaper said no date or location for the meeting has yet been agreed on but it is likely to take place soon after the Iceland summit this weekend between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
red the departure Saturday of U.S. Ambassador Herman Nickel, Beed said.
Reagan's choice to succeed Nickel is Edward Perkins, 58, a black and career diplomat now serving as ambassador to Liberia.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which will recommend whether Perkins should be confirmed to the post, this summer drafted the bill calling for tough new sanctions against the Pretoria government to protest its racial separation policy of apartheid. The bill was vetoed by Reagan but became law Thursday when Congress voted to override his veto.
In continuing racial violence around the nation, the government said three blacks were killed and 12 were wounded Sunday.
The government's Bureau for information — the sole authorized source of information on racial unrest under the nationwide state of emergency — said the violence was the worst since Sept. 10.

The Challenger disaster commission recommended that NASA give full consideration to vertical test firings to more accurately simulate launch conditions. But the panel did not require such tests and while some commission members reportedly disagreed, the space agency said better results would be obtained with horizontal firings.
The first post-Challenge launch by Discovery now is scheduled for Feb. 18, 1988, and a preliminary design review of the new joint design team will be the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
On Nov. 18, a 15-hour countdown will begin that will terminate at 11 a.m. in a mock engine ignition with all seven astronauts on board. This is a standard test conducted before every shuttle launch.
While scores of tests are on tap for Atlantis, the highlight of the exercises occurs next month when seven astronauts participate in a mock countdown
Challenger was destroyed when a fuel-segment joint in its right-side booster rocket ruptured. Atlantis has been equipped with instruments on its right-side booster to determine whether the 14-story rocket encounters any unexpected forces during the roll to and from the launch pad.
The next day, some or all of the astronauts will participate in a dress rehearsal for emergency escape drills.

A key element in meeting the first launch date is the new booster test schedule. NASA announced last week that the new rockets will be test fired in a horizontal position as has been the case in the past.
"We are looking forward to getting the bird out to the pad and having a positive motion forward."
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The shuttle Atlantis was today prepared for a trip to the launch pad last used by Challenger. But instead of being readied for flight, Atlantis will be used for astronaut escape drills and other tests.
The shuttle, minus its three main engines, will spend seven weeks on the firing stand that Challenger left 73 seconds before it blew up nine months ago.

Atlantis, which is scheduled to make the second post-Challenger flight in May 1988 — after a February flight of the Discovery — was supposed to be bolted down at launch pad 39B by dawn.

Fisherman survives 6-week drift at sea
United Press International
The Coast Guard said it never had received a report that Nelson McIntosh, 27, was missing.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Bahamian fisherman, recovering in a hospital from malnutrition and dehydration, said yesterday that he had drifted six weeks off the Atlantic Coast without being seen by a plane or boat.
McIntosh was rescued about 60 miles off the South Carolina coast Saturday by Dale R. Lackey, a
He said that his home at Wood Cay had only one pay phone nearby that was available only one hour a day and that apparently nobody had reported him missing.
There was a Coast Guard search off the Georgia coast in late September for two Marine aviators who crashed. But the searchers did not see McIntosh.
"Iknew where I was when I started to drift," McIntosh said. "I drifted nine days northeast before the boat made any changes at all. I knew then I was pretty far gone."
McIntosh, of Wood Cay, Bahamas,
told his rescuers that he had survived
on rain water, raw fish and two
beers.
"He was lucky," Lackey said. "We saw this boat that was obviously disabled. The back was sinking and a red flag was tied on the antenna. A man just barely looked over the gunwale. It frightened me at first with all the drug running going on."

His boat contained some cushions, a beer cooler and a five-gallon drum. He used the cushions and containers to catch rain water and soaked himself in sea water to stay cool.
