Stronger Federal Role in Prosecution Revisions to Criminal Code
Federal and state judges clashed over criminal jurisdiction at the Second Judicial Circuit conference. Atty Richard A Green outlined a proposed rewriting of Title 18 to base crimes on behavior rather than jurisdiction, with a model code for states and new federal bases for prosecution. Green noted reforms include breaking offenses into felonies and misdemeanors, specific culpability definitions, insanity statute, mandatory probation, and new sentencing options. Judges worried the changes could erode state powers and trigger federal watchful waiting if state action lapsed.

Biochemist attacks AEC and Aiken on nukes at Rotary lunch
Bearded Bennington College biochemist Dr. Irving Lyon told Rotarians at Mt. Anthony Country Club that nuclear power plants are unsafe unreliable and uneconomical and accused the Atomic Energy Commission and the nuclear industry of fabricating reports. He warned that safety estimates have fallen while radioactive materials rise and cited plans for 111 reactors by 1985, 40 in the northeast near New York City. He noted a 1 percent core leakage and that a single reactor yields 10 billion curies. The talk was interrupted by a thunderstorm and a blackout.
