A Florida appeals court struck down Stuart's drug conviction, ruling in essence that all such "profile" stops are unconstitutional because they are not based on "probable cause" to believe a crime is being committed. After the Florida Supreme Court refused to review that ruling, state Attorney General Jim Smith sought help from the nation's highest court.

Two Supreme Court decisions last year left the legal status of the drug agency-inspired airport program in doubt. WASHINGTON The Supreme Court today refused to let drug agents in Florida stop, question or search air travelers whose behavior fits a "drug courier profile." The justices, without comment, left intact a Florida appeals court ruling that the "profile" program, begun by the federal Drug Enforcement Adminstration in 1974, is unconstitutional. There is, however, at least one other similar appeal from Florida authorities pending at the high court. Today's action does not preclude the possibility that the Issue will be granted review at some later date. The case acted on today stemmed from the July 25, as a basis for searching suspected drug peddlers, said today that the ruling "doesn't affect the operations out there (at Miami International Airport) at all" because, he said, by refusing to hear the Stuart case, the Supreme Court did not set a precedent that extends beyond that case.

Drug agency spokesman Con Dougherty said today that his agency will continue using the profile. The detectives who stopped Stuart were operating under a program similar to one carried out at more than 20 metropolitan airports nationwide. Under the 1978, arrest at Miami International Airport of Burr Stuart on cocaine-possession charges. Two Dade County police detectives asked to talk with Stuart after observing his appearance and behavlor in the airport terminal. Eventually, they asked for permission to search him and, when he offered physical resistance after initially agreeing to the search, Stuart was arrested.

Cocaine was found stored in Stuart's boot.

The Als had a news conference scheduled for today, ostensibly to announce the signing.

Tony Kornheiser, writing in The Washington Post, says designers are about to enter into a dread state of "Sig-Lock," a time when nothing is left for Oleg and Oscar and Vidal and Gloria and Pucci and Gucci to put their signatures on. Kornheiser says the big fashion names will have to break new ground, maybe branch out into junk food and bowling balls. Lilly Pulitzer will show a fall line of signed bowling balls "in all the smart colors including wine, asparagus and Cleveland." McDonald's could sell designer Big Macs, with Oscar de la Renta using sesame seeds to sign his name on the buns.

Burger King could introduce a fish fillet designed by Leroy Neiman. Gucci would design a "sleek, tapered' pizza pie with green-pepper slices shaped like tiny Gs. Maybe even designer mops by Oleg Cassini. And designer Bibles by (who else?) Christian Dior. And why not designer sperm banks? Yes Calvin Klein Genes.

The Warn News JOE MMUS Controllers, from left, Mark Gib lin, William Brooker and Marvin Nelson at Miami Airport tower Williams to get hearing in case of 28th victim Air traffic controllers guided flights through the nation's skies on normal schedules today after a strike that could have crippled air service across the country was averted at the last moment. Union and federal negotiators reached a tentative contract settlement at 5 a.m., just two hours before the controllers had threatened to walk off their jobs. "There will be no strike," the controllers' union advised its 15,000 members in a telephone tape recording played at the headquarters of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization in Washington, D.C. this morning. The pact would cost $40 million the same amount the Reagan administration had offered earlier.

The union had sought a contract worth $770 million, but union president Robert Po li said that "under present economic conditions, I feel it's the best we could achieve." He said he was convinced that President Reagan would not endorse any additional money. Airport control towers. including Miami's, reported normal operations with no major delays and airlines told passengers who had made backup reservations to use regularly scheduled flights. Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis said at mid-morning, "We're very pleased to report that we have reached an agreement subject to ratification by the union membership It is fair and equitable and one that all parties can accept." Po li said, "I'm pleased with the settlement of the contract. I'm tired; but I feel good about it." He said members would vote on the tentative pact next week and that it would take an additional week to count the mail ballots.

Poli characterized the settlement as "fair." The union had sought $10,000 raises for the controllers, who average $34000 a year, with a low of $20,500 and a high of $49,200. Lewis estimated the tentative pact will provide each of the nation's 17,000 controllers an average, immediate pay hike of He said the average salary increase in the first year would be Atlanta suspect on the fringes Cembieed Miami News Services rill 1 4, T. tt (I I I. t- i ,45. 464 ie Nixon not in mothballs In the waning days of Richard Nixon's reign, an American rabbi named Baruch Korff became what was In effect the unofficial apologist for the scandal-ridden administration.

At that hearing, a judge was to decide if probable cause existed to arrest Williams and if evidence against Williams could be presented to a county grand jury. By law. Williams must be given a hearing within 72 hours of his arrest unless he asks that his case be continued. The Atlanta Journal reported today that top law enforcement officials met last Friday for seven hours at the Georgia governor's mansion at the request of Vice President George Bush. Bush telephoned Gov.

George Busbee on Thursday after reviewing an FBI report on the investigaton and asked Busbee to meet with local FBI and Justice Department officials for a briefing, according to the Journal. The newspaper quoted an unidentified official familiar with the meeting as saying Busbee told the group he would support whatever decision local prosecutors made, ATLANTA Wayne Williams, charged with murder in connection with the death of 27-year-old Nathaniel Cater, always seemed to be on the fringes of official police and fire investigations, on the fringes of Atlanta television news coverage, on the fringes of the city's rhythm and blues recording industry. The 23-year-old black freelance photographer was arrested yesterday after laboratory tests linked fibers found on the victim with evidence taken from his home, sources said. Williams was questioned about the slayings and released less than three weeks ago. He became the first person charged with any of the killings of 23 juveniles and five young adults that has created a reign of terror in Atlanta.

Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown told a hastily called news conference at the Fulton County Jail that Williams had been Wayne B.

"There's usually no crime involved. If there's no evidence of a crime, les just not our business." Weibacher is perhaps more blunt than those who work missing persona for other area police depart. ments, but her approach is not unique. The fact is. police here and in other parts of the country rarely investigate missing person reports.

There are two principal reasons for this on. legal. one practical. In the first place, as Weibachet puts it. its no crime to run away." Adults naturally are free to corn.
