81983 Mar. 8, 1 983 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 411 WAR 9A Perjurious Policemen Immune To Suits, High Court Holds 1983, Baltimore Sun WASHINGTON Police officers who lie on the stand may not be sued for damages under federal civil rights law, even if their testimony convicts someone unjustly, the Supreme Court has ruled. Anyone who commits perjury as a witness runs the risk of being prosecuted for perjury, the court said Monday, but federal law does not add the risk of paying damages to those who may be victims of false testimony. In passing a civil rights damage law in 1871, Congress did not mean to disturb the general rule that all witnesses in court police or others have absolute immunity from lawsuits based on their testimony, according to the decision, which split the court 6-3.

The court conceded "some force" to the argument that false testimony by. police "is likely to be more damaging because the policeman in uniform carries special credibility in the eyes of jurors." Similarly, it conceded that prosecutors may not be likely to file charges of perjury against police, with whom they cooperate regularly in enforcing the law. Even so, it said, the remedy of a damage lawsuit has not been provided as a substitute. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the opinion, supported by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Lewis F.

Powell William H. Rehnquist and Byron R. White. Justices Harry A. Blackmun, William J.

Brennan and Thurgood Marshall dissented. Justice Marshall complained in his opinion that perjury by police was "prevalent," yet "prosecutors exhibit extreme reluctance to charge police officials with criminal conduct because of their need to maintain close working relationships with law enforcement agencies." "The majority thus forecloses a civil sanction in precisely those situations where the need is most pressing, he wrote. The decision rebuffed the attempts of three Indiana men to sue police officers in Bloomington and Cedar Lake on allegations that they committed perjury while testifying at the plaintiffs' criminal trials. In another action affecting police, the Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether police officers or federal agents who find a suspicious substance in a package must get a search warrant before testing it chemically. A lower federal court ruled last year that a field test of a suspicious substance may be made only with a warrant issued by a judge beforehand.

In other actions Monday, the court: Refused to impose constitutional restrictions on decisions by state-operated television stations to cancel programs because they are considered too controversial. The justices left intact a lower federal court ruling that a choice for or against broadcasting a particular program on state-run, public TV stations is not censorship. The issue had been tested by viewers who protested when state educational stations in Alabama and Texas cancelled the 1980 broadcast of "Death of a Princess," a Public Broadcasting Service dramatic documentary about the execution for adultery of a Saudi Arabian princess and her commoner lover. Agreed, one week after issuing a major decision on the issue, to take a new look at the constitutional power of, cities to set hiring quotas for local, residents to assure them jobs on public works projects for the city. The court last Monday had upheld such a quota in a case involving projects in Boston, but it expressly did not answer all the constitutional challenges raised.

A new test case from Camden, N.JM posed those issues anew. Camden's City Council passed a law requiring that private contractors on city projects worth more than $50,000 must give 40 percent of their jobs to city residents A final ruling on that case is expected sometime next year. FBI Rules On Surveillance Eased Combat Stance Imperiled By Cuts, Weinberger Warns public from the greater sophistication and changing nature of domestic groups that are prone to violence." In general, the new guidelines require that facts or circumstances "reasonably indicate" the existence of a "domestic securityterrorism enterprise" before a full investigation is authorized. Jerry Berman, a lawyer with the ACLU, supports using this criminal standard for an investigation. But Berman said he was concerned about a sentence in the new guidelines that says, "when statements advocate criminal activity or indicate an apparent intent to engage in crime, particularly crimes of violence, an investigation under these guidelines may be warranted, unless it is apparent, from the circumstances or the context in which the statements are made, that there is no prospect of harm." Berman said that this sentence appeared to permit investigations on the basis of speech alone.

Smith said the guideline required "a valid factual basis and law-enforcement purpose, and thus precludes fishing expeditions." Smith said the new guidelines were necessary to "eliminate any perception that actual or imminent commission of a violent crime is a prerequisite to investigation." Another provision of the new guidelines permits agents to conduct preliminary inquiries even when they do not have a reasonable indication that a crime has occurred. That kind of preliminary inquiry was permitted under the old, more restrictive Justice Department guidelines as well. But the old guidelines prohibited infiltration or the use of informants during these preliminary inquiries. The new guideline; do not appear to prohibit these techniques, Berman said. Still another provision of the new guidelines confirms "the authority of FBI agents to collect publicly available information, such as periodicals, as long as that activity is consistent with the provisions of the Privacy Act." Berman said that this would appear to permit the FBI to set up files on political dissidents who have never given any indication that they intended to violate the law.

He added that all of his criticism might be answered by internal FBI regulations implementing the new guidelines. He expressed hope that congressional hearings would bring out clarifications. Other major provisions of the new guidelines permit the FBI to: Cross organizational lines in domestic security investigations. An investigation need not be confined to one particular group. It can span several groups if they are all working together in one "criminal enterprise." Continue to maintain informants in organizations that have become temporarily inactive, "but whose prior record or stated objectives indicate a need for continued federal interest." FBI director William H.

Webster praised the new guidelines. He said they were "responsive to concerns expressed by our field personnel and (are) in our view an extremely balanced and positive law enforcement initiative." Webster has been a strong supporter of the 1976 guidelines adopted by President Gerald Ford's Justice department. But he has said that the guidelines needed a few adjustments. The 1976 guidelines followed disclosure of the FBI's "Cointelpro" program, under which the FBI compiled records on dissident groups. Some groups were infiltrated even though there was no evidence that they intended to conduct crimes.

By William Freivogel Post-Dispatch Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The administration has made it easier for the FBI to investigate and infiltrate domestic political groups that advocate violence. On Monday, Attorney General William French Smith made public revised guidelines on investigations of domestic groups. The guidelines ease some restrictions imposed by the Department of Justice in 1976 after reports that the FBI had violated laws in investigating political groups. The American Civil Liberties Union immediately criticized parts of the new guidelines as possibly "detrimental to civil liberties." The group called ior congressional hearings. The ACLU said the guidelines appeared to permit the FBI to infiltrate groups even when there was no indication that a crime had occurred.

And the ACLU said the guidelines appeared to permit agents to collect publications about political dissidents who were not under investigation. The attorney general said the new guidelines "adequately protect lawful and peaceful political dissent. The purpose of the guidelines, Smith said, is to "ensure protection of the letter was regarded in Senate Republican circles as part of a continuing attempt by the administration to combat bipartisan sentiment in Congress for a smaller military spending rise than Reagan proposed. The president summoned five senior Republican senators to an unannounced White House meeting Monday afternoon. Among those attending were Domenici, Weinberger and Budget Director David A.

Stockman. The president's timing apparently was influenced by the scheduled start tomorrow of Senate Budget Committee drafting of a congressional budget resolution for the coming fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1. Senate aides said that Domenici had gone to the White House prepared to tell the president that only three members of the Budget Committee John Tower of Texas, Orrin G. Hatch of Utah and Steven D.

Symms of Idaho, all Republicans supported Reagan's military budget. Eight members, including several Republicans, preferred holding the increase next year to 3 percent to 5 percent, the aides said. And several others, including Domenici, favor 5 percent to 6 percent. 1 983, New York Times News Service WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger has told Congress that reductions in the 10 percent increase in President Ronald Reagan's military budget might hurt the combat readiness of the armed forces and slow modernization of weapons systems.

Such reductions also might require deactivation of entire units, he said. Weinberger made the comments in a letter March 1 to Sen. Pete V. Domenici, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Weinberger said that if Congress were to deny as much as $15 billion of a requested appropriation of $273.4 billion, the Pentagon might feel it had to "give up present commitments to maintain forward deployment of carrier battle groups and other naval forces in the Mediterranea Sea, the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific." aides in favor of slower growth of defense spending said the letter continued Weinberger's refusal to identify weapons systems that might be canceled or deferred.

Many members of Congress favor that route as a means of economizing. The contents of Weinberger's letter became known Monday. The funeral notices REINHARD, FRANCES C.

From page one only for the most critically needed spending items." According to Defense Department estimates, about $15 billion of the defense budget for the coming fiscal year would go to Texas. California, the biggest recipient, would get about $41 billion. Others responding to Tower's appeal were Sens. Bob Dole, David Pryor, Carl Levin, Charles McC. Mathias and J.

James Exon, D-Neb. Pryor urged the shutdown of nerve gas production facilities in Pine Bluff, Ark. Dole called for dismantling the Titan missiles based in Kansas. Mathias said the B-l bomber should be canceled, as did Levin, who also called for cutbacks in the F-15 Eagle fighter program. Eagleton's letter to Tower suggested that more productive routes to defense cuts tyould include an overhaul of procurement practices and changes in the Defense Department's budgeting process.

Tower submitted all the responses to the Senate Budget Committee on Monday, along with his committee's recommendation that the administration's full request be approved. He contended that some of the suggestions for reductions were technically impossible and that the savings for the six states would total just $200 million. The message of the exercise, Tower said, is that: "1. There is more support in Congress for defense than has been reported in the media; or "2. That leaving the political rhetoric aside, the vast majority of my colleagues clearly recognize that defense spending provides a tangible economic benefit to their states put more succinctly, it means jobs for their constituents; or "3.

Both of the above." Index Ambrose, Jane P. Bepler, Charles Bohn, Harrison W. (Harry) Boland, Elaine F. Bradley, Ola May Brownsher, Pearl Counsell, Florence Marie Daniel, Mildred J. DiCampo, Philip Erlenbusch, Daniel 0.
