Government seeks pretrial jail for dangerous offenses
The Nixon administration asks Congress to authorize up to 60 days of pretrial detention for suspects charged with violent federal crimes. The bill, modeled on the DC crime law, would allow preventive detention after hearings, with safeguards, for felons with recent records or patterns of dangerous conduct. The ACLU criticized the move as potentially unconstitutional.

Court Asks Supreme Court To Delay Mail Rate Hike
The Supreme Court was asked to stay the new Postal Service first rate increase, effective at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, while opponents including newspaper and magazine publishers protest. They warn costs could exceed 23 million dollars weekly for the public and 850 thousand weekly for publishers. The appeal follows a District of Columbia Court ruling denying a temporary injunction. The Postal Service says the temporary rise funds a sound financial basis as rates shift to cover costs. Rates rise from 6 to 8 cents for first class letters, 10 to 11 cents for airmail, and 5 to 6 cents for postcards, with other classes up about one third.
