SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH VOLUME 17, NUMBER 288 Conviction of Ex-Immigration Aide Reinstated -(UPI) The Supreme Court has reinstated the multicount conviction of a former U.S. Immigration Service inspector in New York who lied about his financial condition in an d ateffort to get a torney. 'The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had reversed the conviction of Norbert Nisan Kahan, found to have taken money for extending the visa permits of nonresident aliens. A new trial was ordered on the ground that Kahan 's statements on his inpre-tricourt-appointe- al digency were improperly used against him at his trial. The reinstatement was ordered in an unsigned opinion by the High Court February 25, with Justices William 0. Douglas, William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall dissenting. The appeals court found use of the statements violated Kahan's right and right against to counsel. The Supreme Court in an earlier case ordered suppression of evidence when one constitutional right got in the way of another. But in the instant case, the unsigned opinion said his "protective shield" Cannot be "converted into a license for false representations on the issue of indigency free from the risk that the claimant will be held accountable for his falsehood." Marshall said the solution to conflict between the 5th Amend- from distant points, but said Congress should legislate in the complex field.

Justice Potter Stewart wrote in the majority opinion, however, that it is up to Congress to pass new laws to solve the many technical problems in the dispute. commercial The shifting the expanding relationships business broadcasting "simply in are being brought before budget sessions for consideration. The 1974 Budget Session had for consideration 218 pieces of legislation (100 bills, 34 resolutions, and 84 enabling resolutions). The 1974 Legislature finally approved 42 bills and 21 resolutions (exclusive of the enabling resolutions ). Because of the energy crises, continuing high inflation, uncertainty over the effects of last year's state income tax revisions, and the possibility of a business recession, the 1974 Budget Session adopted rather conservative revenue estimates in formulating the State budget for The 1974 Legislature designated appropriations totaling nearly S27.0 million as items to come from surplus funds. The Legislature, however, did not authorize the purchase of the Deseret Livestock Company Ranch, property. It also declined to set aside $5,000,000 from surplus moneys to the bond sinking fund as a cushion against a possible future economic downturn. one-tim- e Total state expenditures for 1974-7are expected to rise by $51.2 million as a result of 1974 legislative actions. More than 70 of these added funds will go for education both state education increased and higher support of the public schools. The Utah State budget for 1974-7- 5 was balanced without any increase in state tax rates. Several measures enacted by the 1974 Budget Session, however, could result in higher local taxes andor a shift in the tax burden among individuals. 5 The Legislature appropriated $12 million for state building purposes from surplus funds. Approximately $10.3 million or 86 of this building appropriation is designated for projects at the institutions of higher education. In addition to this appropriation for state buildings, another $15 million was appropriated for other construction and development needs from surplus funds, including $2 million for "emergency" state aid for school district building programs. Based on legislative estimates, it would appear that Utah will conclude the 1974-7fiscal year with no after surplus providing for all exauthorizations. Thus, the penditure State could encounter some difficulties next year when it attempts to formulate a budget for the 1975- - 76 fiscal year. It should be noted, however, that the Legislature did use conservative revenue estimates in balancing the budget. 5 6 Supreme that cable fringe on copyrights when it rebroadcasts programs picked up 1974- - 75.

Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, Justice William 0. Douglas and Justice Harry H. Blackmun dissented. Douglas, in a dissent shared by Burger, wrote: "A CATV station that builds an antenna to pick up telecasts in Area B and then transmit it by cable to Area A is reproducing the copyright work not pursuant to a license from the owner of the copyright but by theft. "That reads the copyright act' out of existence for CATV." The test case was brought by the Columbia Broadcasting System against Teleprompter Corp., challenging the latter's use of distant CBS signals for CATV retransmission over cable outlets.
