Justices to tighten libel laws
WASHINGTON - In nationally televised reports Monday night and yesterday morning, ABC News said the Supreme Court soon would rule that public figures suing for libel may ask what a journalist's state of mind was during the writing of the challenged story.
The report said that Justice Rby Rehmeil was writing the court's majority opinion, and that Justice William H. Rehquist was joining White in the writing. It also said that Justice John Paul Stevens argued during one of the courts' closed conferences—attended only by the nine justices—that such a ruling

Toneka education called equal
TOPEKA- The Topeka school superintendent said yesterday that a court-approved settlement of a 1973 civil rights lawsuit against the local school board had been reached.
The out-of-court settlement ended six years of litigation in the case of a black schoolgirl, Evelyn Johnson, who was awarded $15,900 in her suit against the university.
The board's attorney said the settlement would be the only such settlement for alleged discrimination in the quality of education.
However, Johnson's lawyer said he would file another class action suit on the same grounds as the first suit, which began as a class action suit until federal court rules in favor of Johnson.
The suit, filed on behalf of Johnson, was 10 at the time, claimed the school board failed to fully implement a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court desegregation order.
Topeka Superintendent James Gray said attorneys for an insurance company handling the suit against the school board decided a settlement would be made.
Date set for Evans' execution
MONTGOMERY, Ala. —The Alabama Supreme Court yesterday set a new execution date of April 12 for John Louis Evans III, a condemned killer who was convicted of killing four women.

Evans had said he preferred death to life in prison, but when Rehman granted the stay, Evans changed his mind and authorized a challenge of the court.
the challenge to the law was filed last week in U.S. District Court in Mobilie, Ala. by John Carroll, who represented Evans' mother when she sought to block her husband's conviction.

Warrants issued for Hart trial
Police said two to four other suspects may have been involved in the robbery and murders. The robbers apparently shot the guards from outside the compound.
PRYOR, Okla.—Warrants for the arrest of three persons accused of lying under oath during the Gene Leye Hart murder trial were issued yesterday in Oklahoma City.
Sheriff Pet Weaver said that his office was investigating statements made by people who testified during Hart's trial and that more warrants might be
The assistant district attorney said perjury charges would be filed after the people were arrested.
At the end of the trial, Weaver complained that at least one person, former Mayes County jailer Allen Little, had lied under oath. Little testified he had seen evidence later found near the death scene in Weaver's desk three years before the killings.
Hart, 35. was found innocent March 30 of the sex-slayings of three young girl Scouts whose bodies were found near their tent, about three miles south of

Bomb kills four policemen in Northern Ireland trap
BESSBOOK, Northern Ireland (AP) - A-body trap bomb killed four policemen yesterday in the worst such incident in a decade of Northern Ireland's sectarian
Twelve other people were injured in the explosion, an apparent escalation of the Irish Republican Army's spring offensive against British rule.
The police were killed when a bomb blew up their Land-Kover it as it passed a booby-trap.
slaught last month to coincide with the British campaign leading up to May 3
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, but police said it was in the wrong place.
It was the highest police death toll in a single incident since Northern Ireland's rebellion.
Violence had eased off in 1978, but guerrillas of the predominantly Roman Empire were still on the attack.
At first, police said the explosion was caused by a land mine planted in a drainage culvert under the road. But a Royal Ulster Constabulary spokesman in Belfast said later that the bomb was hidden in a small van parked on the roadside near the building.
"As the police Land-Rover passed the van, it exploded and the Land-Rover was shot down."
Police said it appeared the device was detonated by remote control by a terrorist lying in wait in the surrounding countryside, a tactic used by the IRA in the past.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary, the police force in the British province, has lost 121 officers since Catholic-Protestant sectarian eruption here.
