Liquor Sale Case Ends In Dismissal Obie Taylor, 55, of 99 quehanna Binghamton, was freed yesterday of a charge of selling alcoholic beverages without a license after the prosecution's chief witness failed to appear at Taylor's trial in Binghamton City Court. Robert W. Coutant, chief assistant district attorney, said today he would apply to the court for the arrest of the witness, William L. Tarrant, 37, of 112 Susquehanna Binghamton, on a charge of criminal contempt of court. Tarrant was under subpoena to appear, Coutant said.

It was Tarrant who complained to Binghamton police last December that Taylor operated an illegal bar in his home, selling beer, wine and whiskies, Coutant said. The court information against Taylor was based on Tarrant's complaint, Coutant said. A six-member jury had been picked yesterday morning. When Tarrant failed to appear, Coutant asked presiding Binghamton City Court Judge Walter T. Gorman to recess the trial until 1:30 p.m.

to locate Tarrant. When court resumed, Tarrant still had not arrived, Coutant said. Gorman dismissed the charge for failure to prosecute. Taylor was arrested on the charge, a violation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, and criminal possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor, last Dec. 5.

He has been free in $500 bail. When police entered his home to make the arrest on the ABC charge, they said they found a camera that had been reported stolen. That charge still is pending in City Court. After his arrest, Taylor filed a $100,000 lawsuit against the City of Binghamton for damages to his physical and mental well being. He claims police searched his home without his permission and arrested him without proper evidence or authority.

A. Jack Rappaport, Binghamton lawyer, represented Taylor.

Music to Her Ears NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Classified ad: "Lost 8 gray and white female cat. Answers to electric can Mall's $2 Million In Modern Art Has Nary a Nude By HOWARD CLARK Associated Press Writer ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Scattered among and within the marble monoliths of the billiondollar Mall state office building complex will be sculpture and other works of art some $2 million worth. It is a small price, some say, to soften the angular lines of the massive buildings.

At any rate, with one stroke the state will gain Richard Doty, curator of the Whitney Museum in New York City, calls very important collection of recent art." All are of contemporary schools, most are by American artists, and all have been done within the last 20 years. And there's nary a nude among them. "It's the kind of art that has a staying power," said Doty, who worked with the threemember commission that selected the art. "I know they will probably draw a lot of sneers. But we hope they will have an effect on people who use the buildings and give them a little pride." All but a few of the works are stored in boxes or crates in various storerooms in Albany.

Some have been installed in the Swan Street building, a low, five-block structure that bears a striking resemblance to Grand Coulee Dam. This building, the first one in the complex to be completed, is used by the Motor Vehicle Department. A large, untitled bronze work by Roger Bolomey stands in one portico overlooking the rest of the mall. This work, for which the state paid $80,000, looks like a pair of highly stylized trees. Small boys nearby said they wanted to climb it but could not get up the metal sides.

The art works inside the lobbies offer a relief from the appalling rust-brown tile on the floor and walls. One, by Lee Bontecou which cost $12,000, resembles the wreckage of an automobile and demands close inspection. large painting is entitled "1964," which must have been a bad year in the eyes of artist Clypford Still. It starts off brightly at the left with small patches of yellows, whites and oranges, and ends with massive splotches of dark blue and black. It cost $58,500.

Famed sculptor Seymour Lipton is represented by a headhigh bronze piece called "Empty Room," purchased at a cost of $26,500. A small figure inside appears to have shields against the threatening outside world. The art, said Doty, was for characteristics in public situations. That is, they had to be readily apparent, rather than intricate where it would take time to study." "A lot of work went into the placement in an architectural setting," he said, adding that the commission was concerned about competition with the buildings. "The works had to be definite about function, they had to complement buildings and have a lift of their own.

It was very difficult." 6 Jurors Excused In Ellsberg Trial LOS ANGELES (AP) The search for a jury to try the Pentagon Papers case has begun with questions aimed at revealing attitudes toward the U. S. government and its policies. Already, six potential jurors have been excused after declaring their opinions were so strong concerning the controversial case that they could not be impartial jurors. "My mind is pretty set," declared one elderly man, without elaborating.

Their exemptions came on the first day of trial Monday after the judge dismissed 18 other possible jurors for hardship reasons. U. S. Dist. Court Judge William M.

Byrne Jr. rejected defense objections to his decision to quiz jurors himself rather than letting attorneys do it. Then he asked 12 potential jurors and six potential alternates about their attitudes toward government and their family histories on possible government employment.

Air Official Defends Hijack Force WASHINGTON (AP) Decisions to use force against a hijacker rather than submit to carefully weighed in advance, says John H. Shaffer.

Federal Aviation administrator. The decisions by the air crews in consultation with federal authorities, including the FBI, are balanced against the risks involved before action is taken, he says. In the case of the two hijackers shot to death aboard their commandeered plane at San Francisco, and the one killed in the attempted hijacking of a 747 at Saigon, the circumstances, the were carefully was response appropriate, Shaffer said in an interview Monday. Our strengthened stand against hijacking does not necessarily mean we shoot first," he said. "We are trying to head off killing.

None of us is trying to take unnecessary risks when thinking what we will be able to do with minimum loss of life," he added. Shaffer said those who would castigate the pilot of the 747 for his actions leading to the fatal shooting of the young hijacker at Saigon ought to be thankful that the pilot responded as he did, Shaffer said. Patriarch's Rites Draw Top Clergy ISTANBUL. Turkey (AP) Funeral services for Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras were held today before scores of officials representing many nations and the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. The election of a new spiritual leader for the 250-million member Eastern Orthodox Church gave the Turkish government increasing concern in the face of protests from the Greek government.

Meliton is considered the leading candidate to succeed Athenagoras who died Friday at the age of 86.

The papers, printed some 13 months ago in the New York Times and other papers, revealed origins of U. S.

We hoped that the administration would have killing Indochinese by the time it brought us to trial." The lean, graying Ellsberg, in a blue pinstripe dicated that the defense team would try to introduce segments of the papers and the war issue into the trial.
