(ACCN) -Rutgers law students, convinced that families often pay more federal income tax than is due because counseling is not sought, plan to provide area residents with free assistance. That principle is the basis of the tax service which is being spearheaded at Rutgers' Camden campus students by James R. Hammett of Plainfield, and Kenneth C. Huhn of Cherry Hill.

Burger dissenting, the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 1, March 21, that state and county laws requiring any lengthy residence in order to vote are unconstitutional. Specifically, the court struck down - Tennessees (me year residency requirement for voting in state elections and a three-mont- h period at the county level. In the majority opinion, Justice Thurgood Marshall held that a y residency might prove sufficient to prevent voter fraud but declared a year or three months too much." In Tennessee, Assistant State Attorney General Robert H. Roberts predicted the ruling will upset residencey requirements in all 50 states. "There isnt a state in the union that does not have a residency requirement of more than 30 days," he said.

Estimates of 1971 world output indicate that U.S. production remains somewhat static at well under 9 million cars, the financial institution said.

Total world production for last year is expected to exceed 32 million vehicles. The U.S. accounts for about 25 percent of that. In 1971, the combined efforts of Japan, West Germany and France will have turned out 58 percent more vehicles than the U.S., said Crocker Banks bulletin.

Hijacked Plane Passenger Wins Damage Suit BROOKLYN Supreme Court (UPI) Justice has ruled A Brooklyn that a passenger can recover damages from an international airline for emotional distress suffered when a plane is hijacked. Justice Charles Rubin made the decision in a suit brought by Mirian Herman, 18, of Brooklyn, against d Airlines (TWA). Miss Herman sued the carrier for emotional distress suffered when Palestinian commandos hijacked a TWA jet Sept. 6, 1970, ordered the jet to land on an obscure desert airstrip near Amman, Jordan, and held her and other passengers captive for a week. Lawyers for the airline said that the Warsaw Conventions, signed by Trans-Worl- international carriers, limited liability to physical injury suffered by a passenger. Rubin rejected TWAs argument and ruled, March 16, that the Warsaw agreement made carriers liable for a passengers emotional distress up to $75,000. minority families. The economics of housing construction simply prices almost all housing beyond the means of most minority buyers or moderate-incom- e ed renters. Concerted emergency action by the regions three governors," the NCDH executive said, "could break the stalemate in lower-incom- e housing that results from Federal refusal to enforce the law in site selection processes in the face of local opposition. "Region-wid- e emergency suburban zoning ordinances would be a step toward a more permanent solution recommended as a result of our study. What is needed is a regional governmental mechanism that would have authority to deal with suspension of expansion of housing and job opportunities in the comprehensive context of economic development, transportation, education, com- munity and cultural facilities, and so forth." In other recommendations, the NCDH report reiterates the National Committees call for an Executive Order suspending Federal grants and FHA and VA underwriting in all communities that bar subsidized housing programs. The NCDH study, the most comprehensive conducted on' this subject in any metropolitan region to date, was financed by a $460,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Seven counties (Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau in New York; Bergen, Essex and Middlesex in New Jersey; and Fairfield in Connecticut) were the focus of the projects field surveys. Multinational Businesses Pose Control Problem The multinational a (ACCN) vast business organization based in one country and with subsidiaries throughout the world is a special breed. Many have annual sales exceeding the gross national product of countries in which they operate. Their economic power transcends and often unduly influences the politics of national governments. Great sums of money are trans- ferred between their branches, . precipitating financial crises. Attempts to regulate them by local governments are rarely successful. Christopher Tugendhat, formerly on the staff of the London Financial Times and a member of the British Parliment, examines how these vast international business organizations dominate world trade and analyzes the problems they pose for the in THE MULTINATIONfuture ALS, recently published by Random - House. More than sixty percent of the multinationals began and maintain their largest organizations in the United States. They are under attack both from foreign countries who resent their expanding operations and from the labor unions in this country, who view them as job exporting concerns. Because they cannot be identified with either the country in which they originate or that in which they operate, their allegience remains with the company and its stockholders. |
