Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Army Domestic Spying
The Supreme Court agreed to hear whether 13 individuals and groups monitored by Army intelligence can challenge the legality of domestic surveillance. The case traces to a 1970 suit led by Arlo Tatum of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, backed by the ACLU, alleging a chilling effect on First Amendment rights and seeking removal of Army records. The District Court’s dismissal prompted appeals, with the circuit court ordering hearings to assess the scope, necessity, and potential remedies of the Army surveillance program.

Pay Board weighs retroactive pay for teachers
The Pay Board debates back pay for about 2.2 million teachers and other workers, with possible exceptions to the stance against retroactive raises during the freeze. Chairman George Boldt signaled no reversal of the core rule but discussed related back raises and incidental matters. The Cost of Living Council reversed an exemption for large firms, requiring price rise plans to be filed with the Price Commission, potentially speeding approvals to 72 hours for the 1,300 largest firms. The move impacts auto industry wage rounds and model pricing. The Dow Jones average hit an 11 month low amid investor uncertainty.
