The decision affects avoiding relocation of industries to improve city air versus rural air integrity, while other rulings include speedy trial rights, rebuttal witness disclosure, jury pay while serving, and a San Francisco Chinese language instruction dispute.

Judge rules Nixon pick illegally heads anti poverty agency
District Judge William B. Jones ruled that the man Nixon tapped to dismantle the Office of Economic Opportunity is serving illegally and ordered acting CEO Howard J. Phillips to stop all actions as head. Ralph Nader praised the decision and four Democratic senators filed the case. The administration planned to abolish the agency July 1, and the ruling follows a court finding the administration lacked authority without Congress.
