In rules of enevery contingency, the gagement call for localizing the action. The danger of a Russian - American outbreak in the Mediterranean is heightened, quite trankiy, oy the fact that the two countries have supplied combat planes to the opposing sides. The Israelis, for instance, might have difficulty distinguishing whether a flight had Soviet or Egyptian markof MIG-21- s ings. This could lead the Israelis, flying American-mad- e to attack Phantoms, Soviet planes by mistake. The Russians, in turn, might not notice the Israeli markings and might conclude that U.S. planes had jumped them. During the fratricidal fighting between the Palestinians and Jordanians, when the Middle East fuse burned dangerously short, both Russia and the U.S. took pains to avoid a confrontation. The U.S. admonished the Israelis to guard against any mistakes that might result fa attacks upon Soviet planes or ships. And Russian naval units maneuvered with extreme caution around the Sixth Fleet. There were some breathless moments when Soviet subs began massing fa the eastern Mediterranean and, later, when Soviet landing ships full of naval infantry pulled into the Syrian port of Latakia. But the Russians remained carefully The Soviets have built up a formidable Mediterranean Naval Squadron of 35 to 40 ships and subs, including modem cruisers and destroyers, both nuclear and conventional attack submarines, combined surface, and airborne forces, and landing ships with naval Infantry on board. The Mediterranean Squadron is supported by a dozen auxiliary ships and also has access to shore facilities in Egypt. Some of the combat ships and submarines, incidentally, are equipped with anti-shi- p missiles, which intelligence reports describe as the greatest threat to the Sixth Fleet. This Soviet naval force still is no match for the Sixth Fleet, which has 45 to 50 ships in the Mediterranean. These include two attack carriers, which are able to put 400 combat planes in the air. A Navy estimate claims that the Sixth but Fleet not only has numerical qualitiative superiority over the Soviet Mediterranean Squadron. In an emergency, however, the Soviets have demonstrated that they can quickly augment their Mediterranean force with surface ships from the nearby Black Sea Fleet and submarines from the Northern Fleet. The U.S. has sought to demonstrate both restraint and firmness in the Mediterranean, a delicate policy calculated to hold the Soviets at bay without precipitating a naval encounter. A series of NATO naval maneuvers code named and Reforged Deep Express, Crested have been scheduled in the, Mediterranean as a show of strength. FOOTNOTE : Russia has also built up a formidable naval force in the Indian Ocean. An intelligence report frankly concedes, however, that the U.S. has only limited knowledge of these operations because of the inadequate U.S. surveillance capabilities in the region. nations tax coffers have sprung so many leaks loopholes of all sizes that half the money due the government now escapes into the pockets of the priviThe leged. The loopholes w'ere punched into the tax statutes from the outside by a benevolent Congress, which has used the loophole method to subsidize the rich. But the Nixon Administration is now chiseling loopholes into the tax system from the inside. reBig Republican contributors, as a turn on their political investment, have called upon the Treasury Department for tax breaks. The pressure has been brought to bear on Internal Revenue Commissioner Randolph Thrower, a genial fellow, who has obligingly issued special tax rulings to benefit the rich. WASHINGTON No one got angry at the Nine Old Men last term. Avoiding drama, controversy and new precedents, the U.S. Supreme Court was, in effect, exactly what President Nixon had hoped. But the judicial life will be less placid from now on. In the new term thats just starting, an old truth will be very much in evidence: that in controversial times, controversial decisions cannot permanently be postponed. These decisions will involve some and peri sps even all of the basfa OFF THE LOW JHW I TOOK OIF TO PAY OFF Tl UW4 that lit OUT TO PAY OFF LOAN THAT l '- lit oiwra 65-7- I L Chief Justice Warren E. Burger would like to undo many of Judge Harry A. Blackmun the past trerds of the court. Americans now in the death rows of U.S. prisons. All these issues were put off from last term or before partly because the Court lacked a full complement and partly, perhaps, because the justices may have been evenly divided and a ninth vote was needed for a decision. Beyond these categories, moreover, are numerous potentially important cases which the Court may or may not to take up this term. The constitutionality of abortion statutes is one such case. Others would entail rulings on the right of dissent and on the legality of various electronic eavesdropping techniques. Most importantly, the Court has the option of entering the Vietnam war controversy. A suit has been brought directly to the Supreme Court by the State of Massachusetts, authorized by its Legislature, which challenges the constitutionality of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. decide , J is symbol of judicial restraint. The status of heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) may also be decided. Alis appeal of his conviction for refusing to be drafted is one more of the controversial casei that has found its way to the highest court. Unavoidable though most of it is, all this activism may not be to the justices liking, and is assuredly not what President Nixon had in mind during his rocky round of appointments to the Court. Both Burger and Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, after all, took their places as symbols of judicial restraint. Indeed, they were expected to lead a trend in which the justices would tend to avoid issues still being resolved in the political realm. But the two newest justices have come smack against reality and the jear 1970. Though Burger himself judged from past criticisms he has would made of the Warren Court clearly like to undo many of the past trends, it is doubtful that he will be able to do so, at least during tiie present term. For one thing, some of the nominally conservative judges, notably John Harlan, will resist changing fundamental doctrines of the Court, even ones they dissented irom in the first place. For another, the revolution unleashed by the Warren Court Is far too complex to be erased without, in many Instances, provoking even greater upheaval than the original decisions aroused. Finally, Burger must build his majority from only himself and his old friend Blackmun, a man known to be less militantly conservative than the chief justice and by no means a pliable personality. Some Washington observers, in fact, believe that in the long run it would not be surprising if Blackmun turns out to be a greater influence on Burger than Burger on Blackmun.

In its new term, the Court will certainly rule on school devote, segregation, the womens rights, capital punishment, obscenity and state aid to church schools. And it may even decide to rule on the legality of the Vietnam war. First among the momentous issues to be argued before the Court will be school desegregation. Six key cases will be heard and, taken togethtr, they will require rulings on fae extent to which busing may be used to correct lacial imbalance, on the constitutionality of k schools and cn the importance that may legally be attached to the neighborhood school concept. Further, the new ruling is expected to deal with the most bitterly controversial aspect of the problem: de facto segregation (that which is brought about in schools by existing residential segregation). This is the problem that strikes home in the North as well as in urban areas of the South. How far the Court will finally go in this area is of course still unknown. But Washington observers consider highly significant the extraordinary Interview that Chief Jusbackground tice Warren Burger recently conducted with newsmen. In this interview, Burger indicated that he expected the ruling to have legal importance both in the North and South. Most of the other major issues the Court has promised to hear have major roles in current political struggles. The vote decision comes during a political year. Obscenity, state aid to church schools and women's rights are all hot political issues.
