Brennan, Jr., and Thurgood Marshall wanted to deny the Departments request and would have allowed the interviews to proceed under an order issued April 5 by federal District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell. The Posts assistant managing editor, Ben H. Bagdikian, who initiated the lawsuit along with the newspaper, already has conducted en one interview in the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa. The Gesell decision will be taken up by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here.

Present and home owner vacancies are not sufficient to justify worries about overbuilding, leaden of the $94 billion mutual savings bank industry have been told by Stanley Waranch, president of the National Association of Home Builders. Addressing the 52nd annual conference here of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, Waranch said that both home owner and rental vacancy rates are at or near the lowest levels since the Bureau of Census began collecting such data back in 1955. course, there may be some temporary overbuilding in some areas," he continued, but thats a problem of local market conditions. Worries about overbuilding would oily begin if such rates got to 7.5 per cent and 8 per cent levels, and thats Of something thats highly unlikely in the foreseeable future." Moving on to assess the outlook for 1971, Waranch said that home builders are looking forward to another good year, most likely a little better than last year." While noting that there may be a slowing of the rate in the latter part of the year, he said that the NAHB Economics Department has revised its forecast of starts upward a bit to 2.25 million units.

Kelleher issued an order dismissing the suit, accepting all grounds urged by the defense attorneys, including the contention that the contribution did not violate the federal law. The contribution figured prominently in Senate hearings. Democrats urged investigation of the possibility the contribution was part of a deal between ITT and the administration, in return for the Justice Departments settling an antitrust suit against the conglomerate out of court on favorable terms.

Judge Acquitted Of Campaign Fraud Charge WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1972 In New York Accomplices - Two youths NEW YORK (UPI) convicted of murder because they were accomplices in a robbery in which a policeman was killed were sentenced to death in the electric chair. Cornelius Butler and Lawrence Hays, both 19, were sentenced by Judge Albert H. Bosch after he rejected a defense plea to set aside their convictions on grounds they were unconstitutional. Defense attorneys said they would appeal. Butler and Hays were convicted, April 13, of the murder of patrolman Kenneth Nugent He was killed last August 20, while trying to stop a robbery. The murder weapon was fired by Rudolph Graham, 20, who was shot and killed by Nugent before he died. Butler and Hayes were convicted of murder because they were accomplices in the commission of the crime. State law provides to death sentences in the murders of policemen and certain other law enforcement officers. Leon A. Milman, Hayes attorney, told the judge: I fail to understand how a man who acts in concert in the death of a policeman can be sentenced to death even though he didnt pull the trigger, when me who cannot be kills a sentenced to death." Bosch, set June 26 to the execution. The last execution in the non-policem- an state wain 1963. Skoog believes the speedup in the tempo of business and the desire of advertisers for faster results was me of the real reasons for the deaths of such once potent magazines as the weekly Saturday Evening Post and Look. Of course, a number of large metropolitan newspapers die'll during the 1960s. But, Skoog said, newspaper mortality was caused by skyrocketing costs and local conditions. Greater use of newspapers by advertisers will be socially valuable," he said. More than any other communications medium, the newspaper is the cornerstone of democratic freedoms." One reason newspapers are holding their own and making gains at the expense of other media is. because they now are what Skoog calls the concentrated media," which really means a blanketing medium, while other kinds of periodicals and local boradcasting stations, in his opinion, are fractionating. A typical large local market has many broadcasting stations, each adopting programming that appeals to a special segment of the market," he said. The local newspaper appeals to everybody in the market area and its coverage of the market area is highly concentrated." For example, although the announcer who conducts a dinner music program on a particular station may be an extra good medium for restaurant advertising, the largest restaurants also will find it necessary to use the local newspaper. Similarly, the advertising agency increasingly finds one newspaper covers a local community whereas it would take several broadcasting stations to do the job. The speedy results are the biggest attraction of newspaper ads though, Skoog said. "Broadcast ads probably do get quick results but it takes time to measure them." As for magazine regional edition ads, it sometimes takes months even to place them, he said. Skoog said he is not discounting the pulling power or effectiveness of any advertising medium when it is Television on a properly used. network or large scale use of spot commercials gets phenomenal results," he said. So does magazine advertising when rightly placed. But on the whole, he said, the newspaper has proved to be the fastest medium with the greatest staying power. |
