DUE TO LACK OF FOOD BULK IN YOUR DIET TRY BRAN Kellogg's 'Obscene' Ads In Mail Face Court Review WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court agreed today to review a federal law that requires mailers to stop sending "obscene" advertisem*nts to people who don't want to receive them. The law, which took effect in April 1968, was attacked by a group of mailers who claimed it abridges the constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of the press. The court granted the mailers' plea for a hearing and, later this term, will review an April 30 decision by a threejudge panel in California that the law is constitutional.

The government had argued in support of the law that free speech rights may be required to yield to a citizen's right to privacy in his own home. Under the law any person who receives an advertisem*nt he finds "erotically arousing" or "sexually provocative" may direct ask his local postmaster to the advertiser to stop sending mail to him. If the advertiser refuses to strike the name from the mailing list, the local U.S. attorney is authorized to move for an injunction. If the advertiser disobeys the injunction he may be held in contempt of court.

The court started a two-week recess without delivering an expedited decision as requested on a ruling which gave 30 Mississippi school districts more time to prepare desegregation plans. In other actions, the court: -Agreed to decide how long law enforcement officers may hold personal property as possible evidence while applying for a search warrant. -Accepted for a review a draft evasion case which, unlike those of many protesters, does not involve political overtones and thus no claim of constitutional rights of free speech. -Let stand the murder conviction of three men found guilty of slaying black nationalist leader Malcolm rejecting their plea that clearing, the courtroom for testimony of one witness had deprived them of their right to a public trial. -Agreed to consider whether evidence beyond a reasonable doubt is required to convict in juvenile court cases.

Tennessee Law Is Upheld WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court upheld today 1 the right of Tennessee to require an insane prisoner to pay the cost of his upkeep. The ruling was in the case of Aquilla Redditt, who was judged insane by a jury in 1924 and has been a hospital inmate since. Redditt had been charged with murder in the death of his mother. Tennessee law permits reimbursem*nt from an insane defendant's estate for his maintenance pending trial. Tennessee, invoking this law, sued in 1961 and was awarded $22,351 from Redditt's estate by the State Supreme Court last April.

An appeal filed by Redditt's guardian contended various provisions of the U.S. constitution, including its prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment," had been violated. However, the justices said they did not have jurisdiction to hear the case and dismissed the appeal without further explanation. Moon Trip Advised For World Leaders DACCA, Pakistan (AP) Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr.

proposed today that world leaders take a trip to the moon before tackling the problems of earth. "We felt it would be very he said, "to have many leaders of the world come on a space flight and look back and be treated to that beautiful sight (of earth)." Aldrin made his comments at a news conference following a frenzied Pakistani welcome for the three American spacemen on the Apollo 11 crew's 20th stop in their 22-country world tour.

William Brewer, 18-B West- Nixon Swinging (Continued from Page 1) bombing missions over South Vietnam that the intended diplomatic signal to Hanoi became a minus instead of a plus. Moratorium planners also got a significant lift from a Nixon statement at his September news conference that seemed to reflect intransigence: "Under no circ*mstances will I be affected whatever by it." Trying later to rationalize his position in a letter to a Georgetown University sophom*ore, Nixon suffered the further embarrassment of discovering he had written to a monarchist. On Moratorium Day, while pickets marched outside the White House, Nixon studiously ignored the demonstrators. But on other fronts, Nixon was taking notice. In a radio talk aimed at housewives, 1 he claimed the administration was winning gradual victory in the battle against rising living costs.

In a letter to business and labor leaders, he urged wageprice restraint. Then came his assault against critics of the Haynsworth nomination. This week bring further Nixon initiatives. For the first time since 1968, the President will go campaigning on behalf of Republican candidates for governor in Virginia and New Jersey. Halloween will produce Nixon's first policy statement on Latin America.

But the big test--and he knows it will come next Monday with his Vietnam address. What he says then will have much to do with determining whether the Nixon presidency gains upward momentum after its Indian summer slump.

THE JACKSON SUN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1969 9 GE Strikers Picket For Wage Increase By TOM CRANE NEW YORK (AP) Mass picketing, with a few scuffles and arrests, marked the start today of a strike by unions representing 147,000 workers against the General Electric the nation's fourth largest industrial corporation.

Paul Jennings, president of the AFL-CIO International Union of Electrical Workers, called the strike which began at midnight "nearly 100 per cent effective." He said the picketing was "routine and orderly" except for incidents "provoked by management or outsiders." The workers are demanding higher wages and cost of living protection. The company was trying to keep open its 280 plants in 133 cities and 33 states. A few of the plants are nonunion. Fifteen pickets and one company man were arrested in Schenectady, N.Y., where 5,000 pickets appeared. Police were reported to have closed one plant in Lynn, where three persons were arrested.

GE employes 310,000 workers in the United States and 90,000 overseas. A majority of these are in nonunion, white -collar jobs. But 90 per cent of the pro- Save up to duction force all but about 16,000 workers have joined the walkout. A coalition of 13 unions has been negotiating with GE. Some of their contracts expired at midnight.

Other unions still have contracts but are supporting the strike. The labor coalition is led by the International Union of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, representing 88,500 GE workers, and the independent United Electrical Workers, representing 16,000 men. Some units of the United Auto Workers and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the nation's largest independent unions, are involved in the strike. The first picket lines went up at 9:30 p.m. Sunday in Hudson Falls, N.Y., in an attempt to block the 10 p.m.

shift from going to work. In Schenectady, N.Y., police seized four pickets shortly before midnight and charged them with blocking a public road outside the GE plant. Thirty per cent of GE's sales are industrial components, 25 per cent in heavy equipment and 25 per cent in consumer goods, with defense and aerospace accounting for the rest. over calling person-to-person.

McNamara, president of the World Bank, said today that nations everywhere must try to cope with the vast population drift from the countryside to the cities.

"That is a phenomenon the world over," McNamarra told the U.N. Economic and Social Council, "but its effects in the underdeveloped countries are serious than in the developed nations." WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said today President Nixon will establish an historic first when his first major address on Latin American policy is televised live to Latin America Friday night. White House press secretary, Ronald L. Ziegler, said he understands the U.S. Information Agency will feed the speech to Latin American radio and TV networks and that a new communitions satellite made this possible.

This aspect, which appeared to be in line with the U.S. hope that the danger could be contained locally, did not draw comment from McCloskey.

He did say that so far as he knows the United States has not mentioned the Lebanese crises to the Soviets but he did not rule out that this might happen this week. McCloskey said the Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and Asst. Secretary of State Joseph J. Sisco are planning another of their series of Middle East peace Talks Tuesday.
