Kanawha County officials heard that 570 summer jobs exist under the Governor's Summer Youth Jobs Program but only about 400 eligible youths have been identified. Scott Biffle of the Department of Employment Security and Arlie Hubbard reported 800 applications, with roughly half meeting poverty and age rules. The program broadened eligibility to include ages 14 to 21, and counties may still route applicants to ES for certification while retaining the right to reject.

Court Refuses To Hear Plea On Rape Case
The State Supreme Court declined 3-2 to hear a petition by Robert T. Hall of Cameron seeking a writ to prohibit a pending rape trial in Ohio County Circuit Court. Hall, then 17, was charged after a transfer from Ohio County Juvenile Court following a 1974 Wheeling incident. His attorney argued that adjudication of delinquency is required before transfer, creating double jeopardy under state and federal constitutions, and urged the circuit court trial be blocked.
