Residency limits rule upheld Monday, March 22. 1976 5 WASHINGTON (UPD The Supreme Court ruled today that a city does not violate constitutional rights when it requires its employes to live within the city limits. The justices upheld a Philadelphia ordinance in an appeal by a former fireman, who was fired when he moved into a New Jersey suburb. The court also let stand an Ohio decision, which struck down a similar Youngstown law as applied to anyoqe but policemen. The Ohio court said the city had a interest to require police officers to live in the city so they could quickly respond to emergencies.

The Ohio court said there was no reason for the Youngstown ordinance to apply to other employes, however. Two justices suggested the Ohio law was struck down on the basis of state law, rather than federal constitutional issues, and thus differed from the Philadelphia case. In other action after returning from a two-week recess, the court turned down appeals by meat packers, restaurant groups and others challenging new federal meat grading standards. The justices also agreed to rule in a controversial Pennsylvania case in which a federal court ordered substantial hearings and legal representation for children when their parents seek to have them committed to mental institutions. The court actions came one day before oral arguments in controversial abortion cases from Missouri and Massachusetts.

The state laws require parental or the consent before a woman can undergo an abortion. Next week, the justices hear arguments on the constitutionality of capital punishment. On the Philadelphia residence requirement, the unsigned opi- nin said there is no support for the conclusion that such restrictions infringe on the constitutional right to interstate travel.

Some consumers have argued the new porcedure will give them lower grade meat at a higher price. In other action today, the justices: Turned down an appeal demanding that the Federal Communications Commission require television stations advertising controversial products to provide broadcast time for opposing views.

High court denies review in Sausalito firebombing WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court today refused to review an award of damages against two newspaper unions in connection with a fire bombing in Mill Valley in 1965.

The justices left undisturbed a decision of the California Court of Appeal assessing damages of $170,000 against the two union locals. The locals involved were San Francisco-Oakland Mailers Union No. 18 and San Francisco Typographical Union Local No. 21.

The building was being picketed by members of Local 18, who had sought to have this work done by union members at a plant in Sausalito.
