A middle-age- d man from Camps Bay, near Cape Town, to be the was reported patient. His identity was not disclosed by the hospital. Barnard used the same operating room as when he performed the worlds first heart transplant Dec. 3, 1967 on Louis Kashkansky, who died Dec. 20, 1967. He flatly refused as he and other administration officials have done in the past to give any details of the plan or to say whether there has in fact been any progress in secret contacts with Communist negotiators in Paris or else- where.

" A-- t Smut n Home Held No Crime 9 . - : WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court, in a major free speech ruling, held today that it cannot constitutionally be made a crime to possess obscene films or printed matter in the privacy of a mans home. This right to receive infor- mation and ideas, regardless of their social worth, is fundamental to our free society, said Justice Thurgood Marshall in delivering the opinion Marshall reiterated for the court its view that the government has a valid interest in dealing with the problem of obscenity. But, he said in announcing tlie decision from the bench: Ths state has no business telling a man sitting alone in kis own home what books he & i . ( in Vietnam. Were going to proceed in every possible way to apply it, he declared. We have every hope it will bring peace. ; may read or what films he may watch. The ruling carae on an appeal by an Atlanta man, Robert Eli Stanley, who was convicted in 1967 of having films in his three stag home and was sentenced to one year in prison. Said Marshall of Stanley: He is asserting the right to read or observe what he pleases the right to satisfy his intellectual and emotional needs in the privacy of his home. He is asserting the right to be free from state inquiry into the contents of his library. Stanley did not argue that the films were not obscene, and the court assumed for purposes of its decision that they are obscene under tests previously court. laid out by the Marshall said: Whatever may be the justifications for other statutes regulating obscenity, we do not think they reach into the privacy of ones own home. If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his own house, what books he may read or what films he may watch. Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the to control mens power minds. The decision clearly distinguished between the Georgia law which punishes for mere possession of obscene material, and the more typical ob-- scenity law which makes it a crime to traffic in obscene material. Marshall recalled the court has consistently permitted punishment for use of mails or other means of the dis- semination to distribute objectionable material. There was nothing in todays ruling to indicate the court had changed Its mnd about such laws. But, about laws like Georgias, Marshall wrote: The state may no more prohibit mere possession of obscenity on the ground that it may lead to antisocial conduct than it may prohibit posses-sio- n of chemistry books on the ground thatthey may lead to the manufacture of home- made spirits. k - |
