Friday Power of police to arrest loiterers is limited by justices By FRANK JACKMAN New York Dally News Service WASHINGTON The Supreme Court Monday limited the power of police to arrest people regarded as suspicious merely because they refuse to provide "credible and reliable" identification when asked. In a 7-2 decision, the court struck down a California law that made it a crime to be a person "who loiters or wanders upon the streets or from place to place without apparent reason or business and who refuses to identify him- 2 views of Capitol preserved By PEGGY VLEREBOME American-Statesman Staff Views of the Capitol from the LBJ Library and the University of Texas tower will remain unobstructed by state buildings under a bill that Gov. Mark White will sign into law today. "The bill, sponsored by Austin Democratic Sen.

Lloyd Doggett gives protection for the first time to views of the Capitol. Although the Austin City Council several years ago set a goal of protecting significant views of the Capitol the goal has met with objections from landowners, and officials disagree on what methods should be used to limit building heights. "For a number of years, the city and the State of Texas have waited for the other government to act to protect the remaining views of the Capitol building," Doggett said Monday. "The state has now taken the first important step by the passage of my bill to permanently protect two of the most important views from the UT Main Building and from the LBJ Library," Doggett said. "It is how up to the City of Austin to develop a plan to protect additional Capitol views while recognizing the legitimate rights of downtown property owners." new law will prevent any building constructed with state money from blocking the view of the Capitol from the two sites.

The law will not prevent buildings on privately owned land from blocking the view. But Lynne Hough of the Austin Planning Department said most of the land in the view corridors protected by the new law Is owned by the state or -university. The two view corridors are among 10 chosen by city advisory boards as worthy of protection. But the city cannot regulate what the state does, so no city action could have protected the two views. Protection of the view of the Capitol from Waterloo Park on Red River Street was deleted from Doggett's bill after state officials said it would result in an extra $2 million expense for a planned parking garage on state-owned land between the park and the Capitol, an aide to Doggett said.

The garage will block the view. it A By KENNETH A. BRIGGS New York Times Service CHICAGO In a series of decisive votes Monday, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops toughened their stand against nuclear weapons and appeared to separate themselves further from Reagan administration military policies. The 288 bishops overwhelmingly approved a proposal that concludes it is "morally unjustifiable to initiate nuclear war in any form." And, in a change of wording from the draft drawn up by a committee, the bishops called for a "halt," not a "curb," In the production and deployment of nuclear arms. MANY KEY DECISIONS in the early debate restored the wording of the committee's second draft and reflected a determination by the bishops to issue a stronger condemnation of nuclear weapons than many Catholics thought existed in the third draft, the committee's latest effort The bishops are meeting in a two-day special session to complete nearly two years of work on a pastoral letter, which will be considered a teaching resources for American Catholics in their consideration of the issues of war and peace.

"The basic thrust of the document is to set the voice of the bishops of the United States against the technological dynamic of the nuclear arms race," said Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, archbishop of Chicago and chairman of the five-member committee that drafted the pastoral letter. "The letter calls for stopping the race, reversing its direction, eliminating the most dangerous weapons systems, and establishing the need for decisive political action to move world politics away from a fascination with means of destruction and toward a world order in which war will be consigned to history as a method of settling disputes." THOUGH A PILE of nearly 500 amendments greeted the bishops, the most significant proposals were placed at the top of the agenda. A clear direction toward a firmer position against nuclear arms seemed evident from the early voting. In a change Monday, statements by William Clark, Reagan's national security adviser, and Caspar Weinberger, the secretary of defense, were downgraded from their place in the text to the status of a footnote. Many bishops argued that those statements, which purport to defend administration policy as moral, did not warrant inclusion in the text itself.

The bishops also voted to harden other language in the draft pastoral letter, replacing the word "resist" with the word "oppose" in defining their attitude toward several administration military policies. In all three drafts, the bishops accept nuclear deterrence only as an interim step in the serious pursuit of disarmament They do say, In the third draft that the Reagan administration has engaged in serious talks. i Lc-- self when stopped by police.
