BREEN Courier-Post Staff A Baltimore lawyer who specializes in fighting obscenity cases may join lawyers defending the embattled Club Lido in Pennsauken. House Fire "Sexual Freedom in Den- "Based on what they've mark." John Schoch of Cherry Hill, Lido owner. "That could be the end of the bail game," Schoch said, depending on how "broad based" the high court's decision will be. The Lido's business, ever since a raid by state and local police last month during the club's brief debut as a topless spot, has been on the decline, says Schoch. This week the Lido suspended its lunchtime operation.

Go-go girls still dance, but only at night and they are wearing tops. Schoch, two of his managers, and four topless dancers are under indictment by a Camden County grand jury in connection with the topless shows. Besides, they face possible 'suspension or revocation of their liquor license by the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABC) on a charge of allowing a lewd show. Yesterday's Supreme Court decision said that state liquor control agencies could legally bar live and filmed sex shows from places where liquor is sold by the drink. In a 6-3 opinion, the court reversed a three-judge federal panel in Los Angeles, which ruled that such prohibitions by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control agency were an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.

The status of topless danc- WASHINGTON (LTD -The air bag, the government's most controversial automobile safety device, is snagged today on a court order which could force a delay in the plan to require its mandatory installation in 1976 model cars. The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati yesterday ordered the government to make further tests on the air baj. Transportation Secretary tola me in connection with the charges, I think they have a case," Burton Sandler, 41, said during a telephone interview from his Baltimore home last night. Sandler was to meet with formerly-topless nightclub's lawyers at their request today and was expected to decide if he would assist in the legal battle.

Sandler says he has fought and won obscenity cases in several states, He bandies such cases because they represent what he describes as "broad constitutional issues." The meeting with Sandler comes at a time when the Lido's owner and lawyers admit that "things look bad." A U.S. Supreme Court decision yesterday that appears to broaden considerably the power of state liquor control agencies was the source of further discouragement for ing is not clear however because the Supreme Court previously ruled that nudity in Itself is not obscene. But yesterday's decision also seems to beef up the role of liquor control agencies. "If the Supreme Court is saying that the ABC has greater powers than the Con-stilution," says Nathan A. Friedman, of Cherry Hill, then the decision "is pretty tough." Friedman is one of the lawyers representing the Lido.

In the Supreme Court decision, Judge William H. Rhen-quist wrote the majority opinion. "While we agree that at least some of the performances to which these regulations address themselves are within the limits of the Constitution's protection of freedom of expression, the critical fact is that California has not forbidden these performances across the board," Rhenquist wrote. "It has merely proscribed such performances in establishments which it licenses to sell liquor by the drink." Justices William J. Brennan William O.

Douglas and Thurgood Marshall dissented. "Certainly a play which passes muster under the First Amendment Is not made illegal because it is performed in a beer garden," said Douglas. Lenape School $7.6 Million Bond OKd FRANKLIN house fire that swept a two story frame dwelling in Franklin-ville last night took the life of its owner, a 78-year-old widow. The body of Mrs. Emma Schmidt of Little Mill Road was found on the floor of the first floor front room by fire- men from the Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company after they had brought the blaze under control.

Ptl. William Smith who investigated the fire said the body was taken to the Kelly Funeral Home, Pitman, which is used as a morgue by the Gloucester County Medical Examiner's office. Personnel at the' funeral home said Mrs. Schmidt's body would be moved to the Jackson Funeral Home in Westmont today where funeral arrangments would be made.

There is no precedent for this use of the was invoked mostly in the 1930s in cases dealing with the transportation and taxation of alcoholic beverages. Hertzberg saw a threat to individual liberty in the court's refusal to consider the regulations in the framework of the Constitution's guarantees of free speech and WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Supreme court will be asked to rule again on prohibition of nude dancing and other sexually-oriented entertainment, says the attorney who lost a test case Tuesday. The court in a 6 to 3 opinion upheld California's law authorizing the alcoholic beverage control agency to forbid such entertainment from places where liquor is sold by the drink.

But Justice William H. Rehnquist's majority opinion stated that constitutional problems could arise in specific cases in which the prohibition is applied. "We've got another shot," said attorney Harrison W. Hertzberg of Los Angeles, attorney for some of the liquor licensees who challenged the rules. Hertzberg said another test suit will certainly be brought, but that it would have to deal with the lifting of some one's license because nude dancing occurred on the premises.

The three dissenters were Justices William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall. Rehnquist ignored the obscenity standards established in recent years and rested his opinion largely on the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, which brought the Prohi Tliis Year, Scars Cuts the Cost of Giving with Outstanding Storcwidc Savings Before Christ mas!

Volpe refused to say the court action definitely would upset the government's timetable, but he said it was "possible" that a new delay would be necessary. The air bag has triggered one of the biggest controversies in the auto industry since the electric engine battled the combustion engine to decide which would power the automobile. Seen Dangerous In a report issued this month, the American Automobile Association (AAA) said the air bag is dangerous and the government should "immediately and indefinitely" suspend its proposal to require air bags. In commenting on the court decision, the AAA termed it "a return to sanity and logic in making decisions about safety." The AAA had argued that the government had not been able to obtain consistently successful results from its tests of air bags. Critics also have argued that before the government requires installation of the air bag, its tests should show that the device is 100 per cent reliable.

They also have argued that the explosive sound as the bag inflates could damage a driver's hearing, or startle him in a manner which could lead to loss of control of the car. The critics also claimed that in some cases it is possible for the impact of a crash to push the motorist into a position where he would not be protected by the air bag. Cut Death Toll However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration claims the device could cut the nation's 55,000 highway death toll nearly in half. General Motors, the world's largest automaker, indicated last month that it might put air bags into some 1974 cars as optional equipment. But it had no immediate comment on the court order.

However, it was Chrysler, Ford, and American Motors who appealed the government's air bag standard to the court, urging a delay in the Aug. 15, 1975, installation date, which would require the bags In 1976 cars. Safety critic Ralph Nader claims the air bag would be far more effective than the seat belt in cutting the highway death toll. He accused the AAA of doing "shoddy and incomplete" research on the air bag. Description Given What is an air bag? How does it operate? And why do its critics see it as dangerous? Simply put, the system works this way.

The air bag is placed in the steering column of a car or under the instrument panel. At the moment of impact, a sensing device triggers a mechanism which, in fractions of a second, inflates the bag. The bag then balloons out in front of the driver or passenger and acts as a cushion to absorb the forward thrust of his body caused by the impact of the crash. It then deflates itself. "This entire protective sequence of impact, inflation, and deflation requires only a fraction of a second or little more than a heart beat," a government safety expert said.

But the critics argue that the device has not proven itself 100 per cent reliable. The AAA, for example, claims the air bag has been "oversold" and is not the "panacea for crash survival" its backers claim. 1 lu SAVE 11 SAVE 25 Lovelv Nylon Sleepwear K99 Girls' 3-6X Long Dresses 97 SAVE 23 Lillle Boys' 3-Pc.

By ADELE ROSS Courier-Post Staff MEDFORD Voters in the Lenape Regional School District last night approved by a slim margin a $7,695,000 bond issue to give the district the funds to build a third high school. Voting returns showed a count of 1,623 to 1,329 in favor of the bond issue, which means the regional school board can plan on breaking ground in the spring. Although the issue passed by a 293-vote plurality, it was defeated in four of the seven "municipalities served by the district. Local vote totals with yes votes listed first are Evesham, 500-150; Medford 336-217; Mount Laurel, 287-256; Medford Lakes, 259-280; Sha-mong, 32-57; Southampton, 166-299, and Tabernacle, 43-70. The facility is expected to open for the 1975-76 school year.

The new high school will be built on a 71-acre tract between the Marlton and Kres-son sections of Evesham Township, the district's most populous area, to relieve overcrowded conditions in the district's two existing facilities. The school will be built on a tract off Tomlin-son Mill Road and will be constructed from the same plans as was the Shawnee High School in Medford. Lenape Superintendent K. Kiki Konstantinos said that, as a result of the bond issue, an additional tax of 14 cents per $100 assessed valuation would be levied. A $20,000 property would be taxed an extra $28 annually.

Konstantinos said the amount paid would decrease commensurately each year as ratables in the district increase. Overcrowded conditions at both Shawnee and Lenape high schools will necessitate split sessions at the two facilities in the next two years, the superintendent said. Lenape's rolls now top 2,400 students with 2,600 expected next year. There are more than 1,600 students at Shawnee, where an increase of 200 is anticipated in September 1973.
