Highlighting the main points of the report of AIAs National Policy Task Force, of which he is the chairman, 'Rogers said that the rebuilding of American communities should be planned and carried out at a neighborhood scale of between 500 to 3,000 residential units. We must move away from the haphazard and small increment development process that now exists, Rogers declared. Public utilities, transportation, and services should be installed in advance as a conscious act of public decisionmaking to locate and guide growth. Rogers emphasized that building and rebuilding our communities on a neighborhood scale should be used as a means of expanding the options of where and how one lives. This expanded free choice should be faciliated by ensuring open occupancy, directing housing subsidies to people rather than to structures, linking development of urban cores to growth in peripheral areas, and increasing citizen participation. The buildings constructed by the federal government should reflect the finest examples of American architecture and design, Rogers stressed.

Purse Snatching Act of Felony, Court Declares - BOSTON The (UPI) Massachusetts Supreme Court' has ruled that purse snatching involves enough violence to make it an unarmed robbery instead of merely an act of larceny. The decision means purse thieves face the threat of life imprisonment. . Under state law, a larceny carries a maximum five-yesentence while the limit on unarmed robbery is life. In the circumstances of a purse snatching, we believe the force applied is sufficient to make the crime a robbery even though the application of force may in practice be so quick' as to deny the victim any opportunity to resist, Chief Justice G. Joseph Tauro wrote in a decision announced June 14. ar The court upheld the conviction of Otis Jones Jr., of Boston who was convicted of unarmed robbery for two purse snatchings and sentenced to seven years in Walpole State Prison. His lawyers argued the evidence showed him guilty only of larceny. Johnson was convicted of stealing pocketbooks from Florence Spring and her daughter, Madeline. The high court noted both women said they were "scared to death during the incident. It said Mrs. Springs handbag was pulled from her arm as she stood near her car outside her home while her daughter's handbag was taken off the cars front seat as she was bending over the seat to get a snow scraper. The thief pushed the car door against Miss Springs feet so she could not move while he took the purse. Tauro said where be so swift the action may as to leave the victim momentarily in a dazed condition, the requisite degree of force is present to make the crime robbery.

The American Ship Building Company of Lorain, Ohio, was accused of one serious and four willful violations of federal job safety standards in the fire June 24, 1971, on board the merchant ship, Roger Blough, then being constructed in the firms ship yard in Lorain. ' American Ship Building originally disputed the charges against it and sought a hearing before the commission, but agreed at a conference in Cleveland last January 4, to pay the $10,000 fine, officials said. The Labor Department charged that material known to be flammable was used without first having tests made by a competent person to insure that the concentration of vapors was below 10 per cent of their lower explosive limit.
