DeCarlo had been ordered by U.S. District Court Judge Clarkson S. Fisher to show cause on Aug. 8 why he should not be put back in jail for failing to pay a $20,000 fine, one of the conditions of his release from prison last year, Prior to issuing his order, Augelli said the order issued by Fisher was completely ignored. I can not tolerate this. While DeCarlo was being examined in an anteroom, the Mafia leaders wife, Mrs. F. Ryan DeCarlo, told Augelli, This is all my fault is not She said her husband coherent half the time, hes an invalid, he is not lucid, he's on drugs. DeCarlo, who was granted executive clemency by President Nixon last December, appeared in court, August 17, still clad in his blue pajamas and told U.S. District Court Judge Anthony T. Augelli, I don't have enough to pay it all at once. Then, when Augelli asked him why he had failed to appear in court when his knees ordered, DeCarlo him in of front explained propped in a rasping whisper, nauseous. Its impossible Augelli then ordered a Postal derstand. Service physician and nurse to examine DeCarlo in an anteroom and, following a for him to un- remainder within 60 days. I can see that Mr. DeCarlo is a very side man, Augelli said, and he apologized to the defendant for laving issued the arrest warrant. DeCarlo, who is said to be suffering from cancer, was freed by President Nixon last December 20 after he had served 33 months of a prison term for extortion and conspiracy. The clemency grant is currently under investigation by the FBI, the U.S. attorneys office in Newark, and a U.S. Senate committee headed by Sen.

Continued growth of this distrust, they add, could create a generation of cynical Americans and plunge the nation into a cycle of discontent. The findings are reported in a paper titled Social Conflict and 2 Political Estrangement, H.

The authors report that in 1972 attitudes toward the federal government continued to deteriorate much as they have since 1964.

In 1958 black citizens, despite a history of discrimination and economic and social deprivation, expressed levels of trust idential to those of whites, the authors say.

They note that cynicism had already been taking its toll: voter turnout has been falling steadily since 1960 and in 1972 was at its lowest point for any presidential election since 1948.

THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT Argued January 9, 1973 Decided May 7, 1973 Respondents are state prisoners who had elected to participate in New Yorks conditional-releas- e program, by which a prisoner indeterminate sentence may earn up to 10 days per serving an month credits toward reduction of his maximum sentence. For disciplinary reasons the good-tim- e credits of each were canceled. Each respondent brought a civil rights action tinder 42 U. S. C. 1983, in conjunction with a habeas corpus action, claiming that his credits were unconstitutionally canceled and seeking their restoration. The District Court in each case viewed the habeas corpus claim merely as an adjunct to the civil rights action, thus obviating the need for exhaustion of state remedies, and on the merits ruled for the respondent, a ruling that in each case entitled him to immediate release on parole. The Court of Appeals consolidated the actions and affirmed. Held: When a state prisoner challenges the fact or duration of his physical imprisonment and by way of relief seeks a determination that he is entitled to immediate or speedier release, his sole federal remedy is a writ of habeas corpus. Pp. 13-(a) Although the broad language of 1983 seems literally to apply, Congress enactment of the specific federal habeas corpus statute, with its requirement that a state prisoner exhaust state remedies, was intended to provide the exclusive means of relief in this type of situation. Pp. 4. (b) The policy of exhaustion in federal habeas corpus actions, which is rooted in considerations of federal-stat- e comity, has as much relevance in an attack on the actions of the state prison administration as it does in an attack on the actions of a state court; and that policy applies here where respondents sought no good-behavior-ti- . government.

The action was brought by Victor Cohen, and his wife, Arthelia. Named as defendants are the owners, Mrs. Mathilda Edwards of Island, and Gertrude Latham, of Brooklyn. The court papers, filed August 21, charge the owners with negligence in allowing the hotel to remain in an "unreasonable, unsafe, dilapidated, dangerous, defective and trap-lik- e condition.
