Broadcasting Ads Ruled Subiect to Tax ANCHORAGE (AP) -Alaska police must have a reasonable suspicion that there is an imminent public danger or that serious harm to persons or property has recently occurred before they detain a person without an arrest warrant, the Alaska Supreme Court said Friday. The high court's opinion outlined the constitutional limitations on police authority to temporarily detain persons for investigative reasons. The Alaska Constitution bans police from seizing a person in most circumstances.

The ruling came in an appeal brought by Brian Waring and Scott P. Robinson, who had been convicted of burglary in Fairbanks Superior Court. The pair was arrested after Alaska State Troopers stopped at a parked car early on April 30, 1979, and questioned three persons. Waring and Robinson argued that the troopers' conduct was an unconstitutional seizure of the three. Superior Court Judge Jay Joseph Kanosh Services for Joseph Peter Kanosh, who died Saturday in Mt.

Michael C. Hodges ruled that the investigative questioning by the troopers was permissible and allowed evidence stemming from the encounter to be introduced at the trial. The case was appealed to the Alaska Court of Appeals, which affirmed the convictions in 1961. Waring and Robinson then petitioned the Supreme Court to hear the case. The high court ruled that the troopers exceeded the permissible limits of an investigative encounter when they ordered one of the men to sit in the patrol car.

The decision came in a case in which the court said Northern Television Inc. must pay $53,270 in back taxes assessed on revenues from national spot advertisements broadcast by the company. Northern Television had argued that its sales of broadcast advertising time were not sales of goods, wares or merchandise under former law. The company also claimed a 1967 ruling by the state Department of Revenue justified nonpayment of taxes on advertising time receipts. Under that ruling, the department allowed television stations to deduct taxes on receipts for spot advertisements on grounds that at that time it was unclear whether the state could legally tax them.

The following year, however, the department said Northern Television must pay the taxes deducted. Northern Television appealed the decision to Superior Court. When Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Moore of Anchorage affirmed the department's decision, Northern Television carried the case to the Supreme Court. The high court said Northern Television's reliance on the 1967 ruling was unreasonable because it expressly indicated the agency had not reached a final decision on the taxability spot advertising revenues.

In a unanimous opinion written by Senior Justice John H. Dimond, the court also said Northern Television's argument that broadcast time is not goods or merchandise was antiquated.

Municipalities Exempt After Safety Checks Troopers said more than 200 law enforcement officers were involved in the roundup on Saturday, the result of a four- month investigation. They said the drug ring involved was believed responsible for importing and distributing as much as $600,000 worth of cocaine weekly. The value of the cocaine seized was sst as high as $1.5 million.

Officers also seized more than $80,000 in cash and 15 vehicles. Charges against those arrested ranged from continuing criminal enterprise to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of cocaine. Two of those arrested, 39- year-old Alexander Resek Sr. of Anchorage and 37-year-old Jesus A. Marin of Anchorage, were being held on $500,000 cash-only bail.

"Sitka, Skagway and Wrangell have each made convincing showings that their sewage effluents, with less than secondary treatment, will not harm the waters into which they are discharged," said Ernesta Barnes, the EPA's regional director in Seattle. The Clean Water Act provides waivers for coastal communities which can demonstrate that the discharges will not affect public water supplies, aquatic life, or receation- al activities or violate state water quality standards. Ms. Barnes said the three waivers are the first in the country granted under the vari- Sltka KeStaiirant ance provision.

The problem started when a guard entered Dormitory at the medium-security prison to confiscate a blaring radio, according to Kevin Bruce, assistant corrections commissioner.

When the guard ordered the building "locked down," a minor riot ensued, Bruce said. Inmates smashed furniture, windows and other items, he said. The prisoners apparently had been drinking "pruno," an alcoholic concoction made from fruit, Bruce said. The source of the brew is under investigation, he said.
