On other big issues involving individual freedoms under the Constitution, White provided the vote necessary for the Burger group to prevail. The case involving distributing pamphlets on private property was prime example. Another was the approval of non-unanimous jury verdicts in criminal cases. "Under today's judgment, nine jurors simply ignore the views of their fellow panel members of different race or class," saM Stewart dissenting.

White wrote opinions, joined by the Burger group, which made it easier lo call both newsmen and congressmen before grand juries investigating crime. With White's help, the court also refused to find Army on civilians unconslitu. tional on the ground that the persons who challenged the practice were not injured. Douglas called the case "a cancer in our body politic" and complained in general about the court's "law and order judicial move." On some big issues, Stewart I also voted with the Burger majority. For instance, he went along in allowing a private club to exclude Negroes even though it "was subject to rigid state regulations and in extending the right of a policeman to "stop and frisk" a on the street for dangerous weapons Stewart also voted wilh the majority In a 5-2 decision turning back SO years of Jaw lo narrow the self incrimination privilege.

Kehnquist, the 47-year-old former assistant U.S. altornej genera), appears to lw the toughest justice on individuals asserting rights against govern ment. Speaking of a Texas prisoner who claimed religious privileges, he said 'many of the framcrs of the 1-llb. Amendment "would doubtlessly be surprised to know that convicts came within its ambit." Burger has devoted much energy Lo extra-judicial work to improve administrative techniques throughout the U.S.

And he has continued to criticize the court foe assuming burdens he feels should be borne by slate legislators, or Congress, and for "confusing what it does not approve with the demands of tha Constitution." The states, he said in one opinion, should be free lo "experiment and innovate" in criminal procedure and "retreat if they find they have taken the wrong path." Continuing philosophical conflict among the justices is a safe prediction. Just for starters, the court carried over until next term two of its most burning issues standards for obscenity and attacks on stale antiabortion laws.

The plane has been completely reworked, but it contains the basic frame which flew it through World War I. Thp two open cockpits offer HtUe protection to the pilot from the sun or the wind. "I've known where this plane was since 1930, but I didn't buy it until 196S," said Klcssig, who flew with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War U. "It took me about two years and 3,000 hours to completely rebuild the plane, but it was worth it." The plane was a student trainer during its heyday.

The engine is water cooled unit and the speed gauge is located on the outer wing braces. "It flys with a stick and muscle," said Klessig. "You know you have done a day's work when you fly from Van Horn to Broivnfield. I will try to reach Hereford in one day, if the weather is good."

The farm appeals to him because it is quiet, removed from the hustle of Uie world and has enough space for his planes. He has spent some time on that dream, of all men finding a lost treasure. "I searched for the Lost Dutchman gold mine in Superstition Mountains for some time but needless to say, it's still lost!" His first experience at building airplanes came about four years ago when he constructed a BG-12. After that, he was ready for more and remembered an old plane had seen in Arizona on some of his travels. Upon questioning local residents he discovered the plane had been hauled away.

This disappointment took him to his present plane. The engine had been sold during th depression for $5. it would bring the bare bones of the once-proud plane were about all that remained. "The plane had been grounded since 1031 and was sitting all this time under a big shade tree," said Klessig. "It took a lot of time nnd work, but it was one of those things that I enjoy doing."

Schmidt said the only possible solution was to postpone the whole match. "If we decided to go ahead and Fischer loses the first game by default he will never show up," Schmidt warned.

The arbiter said the postpon- ment should be coupled with agreement that the match is off if Fischer does not turn up in time for the rescheduled first game Tuesday.
