Supreme Court rules on disruptive defendants in court
The Supreme Court ruled that a defendant can lose the right to be present if he persists in disorderly conduct. The ruling outlines three permissible responses: bind and gag, cite for contempt, or remove until he behaves. It cites the Chicago Seven and a Chicago case, William Allen, as context for courtroom decorum and justice.

Japan Hijackers Fail to Flee to North Korea on Airliner
Fifteen radical Japanese students seized a Japan Airlines Boeing 727 at Seoul airport holding 100 people hostage. Despite a Korea Broadcasting System broadcast and a Com mu nist uniform surround, authorities could not persuade them they were in Pyongyang. The hijackers threatened to blow up the plane if not taken to North Korea, but the ruse failed and the plane remained in Seoul. Two Americans aboard included Rev Daniel S MacDonald and PepsiCo executive Herbert Brill. The hijackers ultimately misjudged the situation as six hours after landing they learned they were in South Korea.

Buckley Dissents as Senate Okays Environmental Control
In Montpelier the Vermont Senate passed the Environmental Control Bill 26 to 1, with Sen. T. Garry Buckley dissenting. The measure creates nine district environmental control commissions to grant or deny land development permits on plots of 10 acres or more, applying guidelines on water supply pollution and scenic impact. Amendments tighten controls in unzoned towns and require permit accompaniment with deed titles. Buckley warned the bill would stiffen regulations and infringe property rights. A second measure would levy fees on all polluters including municipalities for water pollution, with permits required from the Water Resources Board after July 1 and power to change water classifications.
