Supreme Court Action Split Decision On Blood Sample WASHINGTON Supreme Court ruled today that police taking of a blood sample from an objecting motorist who is suspected of being intoxicated does not violate the federal constitution. Justice William J.

Brennan delivered the 5-4 ruling. Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Hugo L. Black, William 0. Douglas and Abe Fortas dissented. Brennan in upholding the tests said they are reasonable, and commented that blood samples for testing are "a highly effective means of determining the degree to which a person is under the influence of alcohol." The ruling applied specifically to Armando Schmerber, who was allegedly driving when his car struck a tree in Los Angeles.

In a hospital a policeman asked him to agree to a blood sample. Schmerber's appeal said he agreed at first but later objected on advice of his law yer. Blood was extracted by a doc tor and it resulted in a reading of .18 blood alcohol Objections to use of blood test evidence was overruled and an expert testified all persons would be under the influence of alcohol with such a reading. Schmerber was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $250. California state courts upheld the sentence and he appealed to the Supreme Court.

There he asked if the taking of the blood sample violated the privilege against self-incrimination, if it constituted an unlawful search and seizure, and if it was a violation of due process of law. hat need worry the Western allies.

"The children may divide into two groups, boys and girls, then begin a song base on that," Mrs. Smith explains.

The teacher, who is beginning a summer extension course at the University of California at Los Angeles to instruct high school teachers in the method, bases the instruction on the Orff-Schulwerk system, imported from Germany. Traditional teaching of music is worthwhile, Mrs. Smith says, "but only about 10 per cent of the children get the full benefit; the others become musical Swimming Pool Acrobat It appeart that this young swimmer is attempting to perform an aquatic circui act by walking acrost the Latin swimming pool en the dividing rope. isn't.
