North Carolina Supreme Court Upholds Sterilization Law
The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled the 1974 sterilization law valid as a police power measure. It upheld a Forsyth County case seeking sterilization for Joseph Moore, 15, with IQ 40, and noted prior US Supreme Court guidance on non discriminatory use. The decision also rejects Southern Bell's rate appeal, affirming adjustments approved by the Utilities Commission worsening the company’s rate posture.

Hearst Jury Panel Selection Slowed by Tense Deliberations
In San Francisco Patricia Hearst case jury selection stalled as nine of 36 prospects have been seated. Judge Oliver J. Carter plans to streamline through consolidation of areas as U S Attorney James L Browning Jr and defense counsel F Lee Bailey meet to speed the process. Bailey criticized media coverage of a prior juror interview while Hearst, 21, observed attentively as court sessions proceeded behind closed doors. Randolph Hearst attended briefly as jury questioning averaged 30 minutes per juror and some prospects were excused in under five minutes.
