The jury, which started deliberations Wednesday, told Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Rufus Coulter that it was deadlocked at 11-1 on whether to convict John "Puff'Huey.

William H.

Branch, in a 16-page petition filed with the Federal Communications Commission, attacked the law by focusing on agency rulings that specify a broadcast re-' porter may not become a political candidate and continue to work on the air without his opponents receiving free equal time. "The effect of the rule is government censorship, pure and simple," said Branch, 51, a reporter with KOVR-TV in Sacramento. "We are talking about something with very serious perhaps even frightening consequences for the free exchange of ideas and information in a free society." The equal-time law has stood for decades as the most important constraint adopted by Congress on broadcast political coverage. Although only Congress could repeal the law, Branch said he hopes the FCC will endorse his challenge and help force the issue of the law's constitutionality to the Supreme Court. Michael A.

In the current case, the former member of the Dirty Dozen motorcycle club faces six counts of sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of child molesting and one count of child prostitution. The victim testified that her sister gave her to Huey as a Christmas present in 1982. She said she was threatened, tortured and sexually assaulted between that time and February 1983.

The victim's sister, Pamela McQuillen, was convicted Aug. 14 of six felonies for her role in the crimes. She will be sentenced Sept. 12 by Judge Howard Thompson. To Help Relieve Pain, Itch, Soreness, and Burning and to Temporarily Shrink Swelling ANUSOL 12 Suppositories CI91Q Get it.

Pre -Moistened Suppositories or Ointment HemoThoidalVaginal Pads They work so well become a landmark case because it represents the first time the equal-time law has been challenged by a working journalist on the basis of the First Amendment guarantee of a free press. With certain narrow exceptions, the equal-time law requires a broadcaster who lets one political candidate appear on his station to provide an equal opportunity to all that candidate's opponents. The FCC has ruled that any identifiable appearance by a bona fide candidate is normally considered a "use" of the airwaves, even if the appearance has nothing to do with a campaign. It is that ruling, for example, that will prevent TV stations from showing old movies starring President Reagan between now and the election.

"Regardless of whether one is for or against Mr. Reagan, let's call that precisely what it is: blatant government censorship," Branch said. In his 32-year career, Branch has worked in radio and print journalism as well as in TV. He said he decided to pursue his challenge after being informed this summer he could not run for an unpaid, non-partisan seat on the Loomis, village council without taking a leave of absence fromKOVR. orPUJSM or Solid Color 99 NO WAX VINYL fArmstrong AND Congoleum Lb SQYD MSTMIITKM AVULAELE II II $99 ITIan AMPM since 191? 1 JEWELERS Where promises are kept foreier.
