Jf'- WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court Monday rejected arguments by the American Civil Liberties Union that 1970 Bank Secrecy Act gives the government too much power to spy on Americans. In a 6-3 decision, it ruled the act is constitutional. Justice William H.

Rehnquist, in the majority opinion, acknowledged that the law requiring banks to maintain detailed records on checking accounts gave the Treasury secretary an "impressive sweep of authority." But he said it was necessary in a "time when bank accounts would join chocolate, cheese and watches as a symbol of the Swiss economy and (of) the heavy utilization of our domestic banking system by the minions of organized crime as well as by millions of legitimate- businessmen." THE (LAW, passed partly to combat crime, requires that banks keep records of the identities of their customers and microfilm copies of their checks. It also requires banks to report to the government money transfers of $5000 or more out of the country.

BEIER State Republican Chairman Murray Ryan Monday cautioned against "turning the clock back 50 years" by returning to the pre-primary convention nominating system approved by the Democratic platform convention. "1 am very concerned about the pell mell rush back to the pre-primary convention system," said Ryan referring to a plank approved by the Democratic convention Saturday endorsing a return to the pre-primary system. "This rush into the pre-primary system could easily lead to bossism. I am aware of difficulties involved in the present petition filing system, but I think we should first consider refining it before throwing up our hands in desperation and turning back the clock 40 or 50 years." IN ADDITION, Ryan chided the Democrats for planks on election law re- form and open meetings or legislative committees. "A REPUBLICAN com-: mittee proposed election law reform to the legisla-: ture, but the Democrats had the capabilities to enact such a law and the numeri-: cal strength to accomplish this and didn't," Ryan said.

"The plank for an open meeting law affecting legislative committees was the most cynical and hypocritical action. The opening meeting law exempting legislative committees was rammed through the House with a floor substitute without any debate at all.

It was the council's big gest single decontrol action to date, and seemed certain to result in higher prices for items ranging from wearing apparel to movie tickets to life insurance premiums. The industries decontrolled, by category, included: MANUFACTURING apparel, luggage, tools, heating equipment, motor vehicles and passenger car bodies; photographic equipment, and clocks and watches.

Wholesale trade auto tires and tubes, furniture and home furnishings, lum ber and construction materials, sports equipment, toys, apparel, paper products, beer and chemicals. Financial institutions banking, life insurance, credit agencies, and real estate agencies. i rooming houses, auto repairs and garages, motion pictures, amusement and recreation services and educational services, except for public employes. THE COUNCIL also lift ed wage controls for postal workers, 537,000 railroad workers, telephone communication workers, 732,000 auto salesmen and 698,000 gasoline service station workers. The council maintained controls over a number of industries with big consum er impact, including iooa, steel, copper, auto sales, machinery, construction, health and wages of state and local government em ployes.

Petroleum remains under separate price control authority.

Council director John T. Dunlop said the industries still under controlk are "those which might exhibit strong price pressures in the event of immediate exemption." BUT UNLESS Congress changes its mind and grants the administration the authority it wants to continue some controls for selected industries, all controls will end on April 30 when authority for the program expires. Dunlop said the industries covered by the latest decontrol action "are not those in which serious in-Continued on A-2 Movies B-6, 7 Obituaries D-8 People's Column A-S Sports C-l-3 Today's Calendar A-7 TV Log, Previews A-7 Woman's World Ron Montoya also was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Economic Opportunity Board.

"The fact is that the cattle feeder is caught in squeezeduetothe high cost of doing business and it is indeed a gloomy business today because for every pound he buys from the rancher, he looses 10 cents." During the price freeze last year, cattlemen held-back their herds in hopes of getting a better price for beef when the freeze was lifted. "What we saw was the consumer refusing to buy beef and when the freeze was lifted a too heavy supply of beef going to market," King said.

Ey ART BOUFFARD The beef supply outlook this summer appears excellent but by fall the consumer may find higher prices and a beef scarcity. Gov. Bruce King, speaking at the 60th annual convention of the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Monday said the economic picture for cattlemen is likely to "worsen before it gets better" noting that cattlemen have been holding their herds from market in hopes that prices will get better. "I THINK we will find those cattle being kept out in pasture all heading for the feedlot next fall at the same time, resulting in the price for feeder cattle going down," he noted King, a rancher whose with which "THIS RESULTED in keeping the cattlemen's price down, but the retailer, hoping to make up his losses incurred by the consumer's refusal to buy beef, kept the retail price up." King said the same boomeranging effect will likely become a reality this fall. Highlight of the 1974 convention attended by more than 1000 cattlemen from throughout New Mexico was the selection of Fred Daugherty of Clov-is as 1974 New Mexico Cattleman of the Year.

Daugherty, who entered the livestock industry in 1941 specializing in Hereford received the honor at the association's banquet at the Hilton Inn. MARK GREENE, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.

The Times published a detailed report on the symbionese liberation army Monday including the identities of alleged members, the history of the group, the functions and backgrounds of its leaders, their beliefs and plans. The report quoted prison officials, unnamed suspected sympathizers with the group, prisoners, police and radicals.

Its members are "serious radicals" who are tired of talking about revolution and want immediate violent attacks on "the ruling class." The escaped convict who is suspected to be "Field Marshal Cinque" who sends SLA communiques to the Hearst family, Donald David Defreeze, is an intelligent, dedicated, hard-working charismatic leader, a black nationalist whose attitude toward whites is "eat 'em for breakfast," and dislikes middle class blacks as well.
