Qrs-tn Ridge Walter B. Callis, 72, of 7 Main Street, Green Ridge, died yesterday in Shamokin State General Hospital where he was ad 9 gal electronic surveillance from federal agents. The ruling dealt specifically with the conviction of a Russian chauffeur Igor Ivanov who was sentenced to 20 years on spy conspiracy charges. The government had said that it would abandon several security cases rather than open its files. At the same time, the justices returned more than a dozen appeals to lower federal courts to determine if the defendants were victims of illegal eavesdropping.

These included the conviction of Muhammad All, the deposed heaveweight boxing champion, on draft charges and of James R. Hoffa, president of the Teamsters Union, on both jury tampering and mail fraud charges. The court cautioned that all Until Twatday larea PiiMria Nol Mire l-hoto Snow is predicted for the region and for parts of Oklahoma WEATHER FORECAST Rain Is forecast tonight for parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Florida and Texas and from the Midwest to the East Coast, extending from South Caro- WASHINGTON (AP) With out explanation the Supreme Court refused today to reconsider a far-reaching decision on eavesdropping. The Justice Department in an appeal last Wednesday had urged the court to prevent defendants in "external security" cases from obtaining bugging files. The plea entered by Solicitor General Erwin Griswold had urged modification of the March 10 decision "In the interest of self-preservation" of the nation.

The plea included an assertion by the government that wire tapping and eavesdropping to obtain foreign intelligence information are exempt from the restraints imposed by the Fourth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The court obviously disa greed but following traditio' did not set forth its reasons for declining to reconsider its ruling. Reconsideration is rarely granted.

Thus the action was not entirely unexpected although tlr speed with which the court acted raised some eyebrows.

In the trade the Astros gave up Rusty Staub for Jesus Alou and Donn Clandenon. Shortly after the trade was completed Clendenon said he was retiring from baseball. WASHINGTON AP) A ma-or drive to improve schooling in urban and ruarl poverty areas by a m-re equal dis'ri-ution of state funds was turned aside Monday by the Supreme Court.

A group of Negro and white parents from the Chicago area contended public school children in economically depressed districts suffer "substantially unequal educational opportunity" because of the way tax-raised money is distributed. WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court agreed today to rule this spring on a major civil rights question: whether school districts can be required to use racial quotas in assigning teachers. The quota system has been advanced by the Justice Department and by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund as a means of achieving faculty desegregation in recalcitrant school districts.

Glen Burn Retail Pockets that the defendants are entitled to at this stage is a hearing to determine if the government's electronic surveillance was un lawful.

If the government acted legal ly, the court said, there would be no disclosure to the defend ant of material in government files and further proceedings would be unnecessary. Justice Potter Stewart went out of his way to try to allay concern about the extent of the court's recent eavesdropping rulings. For one thing, Stewart said. the court has not outlawed elec tronic surveillance by the gov ernment for the gathering of foreign intelligence information. Secondly, he said, the court required transcripts to be turned over to defendants only situations where the surveillance violated the Constitution.

This determination whether the Constitution was violated is to be made by the district court judge alone, Stewart said. Federal prisoners were given a eral prisoners were given a chance today by the Supreme Court to win their freedom on grounds illegal evidence was used to convict them. They may raise the claim of an illegal search even though the claim was not made at trial and they are entitled to a ruling on the claim, the court said in a 5-3 decision. The issue was raised by Harold Kaufman, a 44-year-old New York delicatessen manager sentenced to 20 years in 1964 for the armed robbery of the Roosevelt Federal Savings and Loan Association in Jennings, Dec. 16, 1963.

He admitted the robbery at trial $328.50 in currency and about $11,520 in travelers' checks were taken and pitched his defense to a claim of legal insanity. Later, Kaufman claimed evidence of the robbery had been introduced in violation of the U.S. Constitution. This evidence included a pistol and travelers checks taken without a search warrant from an automobile after he smashed into a tree in Alton, 111., following the robbery. Federal courts in St.

Louis blocked his move to set aside his sentence. Justice William J. Brennan Jr. gave the majority opinion and was joined by Chief Justice Earl Warren, Justice William O. Douglas, Justice Byron R.

White, and Justice Abe Fortas. Justice Hugo L. Black who dissented, said he based his oninion on a conviction that denial of a constitutional right should not always 'be subject to attack after a conviction has be come final. Justices John M. Harlan and Potter Stewart, joining in a sep arate dissent, concurred with much of Black's opinion.

Justice Thurgood Marshall took no part in the decision. .20 tedltaleW Coasvil Local Forecast Cloudy with rain tonight, low 31 to 44.

They stayed to Visiting Trudeau, Nixon Confer on Defense Matters WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Nixon welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau today as the "first offi-cal visitor" of his administration and stressed the common ties of friendship binding the neighboring countries. Rain forced the welcoming ceremonies indoors. But there were trumpet flourishes and a military honor guard lining the driveway as the 49-year-old bachelor prime minister arrived at the White House to begin talks with Nixon and a round of social activities. Nixon said there might be some differences but as friends the two countries can discuss them "and find in most instances a common ground" that may provide an even better solution. He and Trudeau stood on the stage in the East Ballroom beneath a glittering chandelier for the exchange of welcoming speeches.

A few hundred Canadians on hand jammed corridors and the ballroom. Mrs. Nixon did not participate in the ceremonies. But she and the President will welcome him at a white tie dinner tonight-first formal state dinner of the Nixon administration. Trudeau said he is looking forward to a discussion with Nixon of matters of mutual interest and getting Nixon's views on world problems.

Nixon who has yet to con vince Congress of the need for a missile defense system will likely be questioned by Trudeau about the matter during this visit. Trudeau has confronted the same sort of critical debate in his Parliament over the pro posed antiballistic missile- ABM program. In addition to the ABM discussions, the two days of talks are exnected to involve Canada's role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other matters of continental defense. Trudeau, who reportedly left Ottawa undecided about the ABM situation, was urged ear lier in the week by some mem bers of Parliament to try to per suade Nixon from positioninff missile defense sites near the Canadian border. While refusing to do so, Trudeau said, however that "we do not have all the information" on the ABM system to convince him such defenses are neces sarv.

During a special four-hour de- hate in Parliament Wednesday opposition members quizzed Trudeau's government on whether Canada's cities would be endangered by fallout from ABMs. Trudeau was also quizzed on whether the ABM's would nd violate Canadian airspace and to what degree Ottawa had been consulted on the system. Some questions suggested the decision by the United States to go ahead with the program would heat up the East-West arms ract. The prime minister answered that he will discuss these matters with Nixon and "If we are convinced the ABM system is necessary though regrettable, we shall have to decide whether or not we shall participate in the operation of that system." Closely related to the ABM question is the matter of contin ued Canadian military partici pation in NATO and the North American Air Defense NORAD agreement. Critics of the military alliances charge Canada is too much dominated by the United States by these commitments and should move to a more in dependent position.

Fewer Immigrants Seekina Citizenship PHILADELPHIA (AP) Few er immigrants are applying for citizenship in Pennsylvania to day than in earlier years, ac cording to tne U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. The service said it because there seems to be more young persons coming to this country who move around in search of Changes Made in Welfare Rules to Meet Objections HARRISBURG (AP) From now on, in Pennsylvania at least, instead of being "socially dis advantaged," a person will be "culturally disadvantaged." Atty. Gen. William C.

Sennett announced today some revisions have been made the Welfare Department's "affirmative ac tion program" to meet objec tions of the American Civil Lib erties Union. The program was initiated last October by Secretary of Welfare Thomas W. Georges to provide state jobs for "econom ically and socially disadvantaged" Pennsylvanians. The ACLU had objected to the department's official definition of "socially disadvantaged" as "a person living in a recognized slum neighborhood or a person who is Negro. Indian, Puerto Rican or Oriental.

Although applauding the in tent of the program, the ACLU said the definition should not have contained reference to any one particular race, national origin or ethnic group. Sennett said the term "socially dis a a a had been changed to "culturally disadvan taged" under the program and that the following definition had been agreed to by Georges: "A person who, by virtue of geographic residence or by minority group membership has not had full and equal opportunity for appointment or promotion within the state employment system." Sennett said the purpose of the definition was intended specifically to produce an integrated group of employes in the Welfare Department. The definition of "economically disadvantaged" was altered to make anyone eligible who re ceived medical assistance or whose family income fell within certain limitations depending on size of the family. Billy Graham I am 80 years old and perfectly contented and happy. I can't believe what you preach about spending eternity in hell.

A. R. My own personal opinions have nothing whatsoever to do with my preaching. I believe with all my heart that God has given us the Bible to tell us the things we all should know and believe. The Bible states again and again that all of us are afflicted with a terrible disease of the soul called sin.

It also teaches that the wages of sin is death. This is described as spiritual death with eternal separation from God. But the Bible tells us more than this. It tells us that God loves so much He sent His own Son into the world to die for our sins, in our place. All that we have to do is to accept that which Christ has already done for us.

If we do, we are what the Bible calls "born we become new people because Christ transforms our hearts and lives. These are some of the simple facts of the Gospel message and I am acting simply as a messenger, to tell people what the Bible says. It may be that you already believe these things and refer to some minor differences which exist between Christians. But, if you have never received Christ as the Savior of your soul and the Lord of your life. let me urge you to do so right now.

This is not the opinion of a man, it is God holy and inspired word and the issue involved is one's eternal destiny. The Bible says: "How shall we excape if we neglect so great salvation?"
