Judge orders bus funds held for desegregation plan
U S District Judge Frank J Battisti faced a setback when a Cincinnati appeals court reversed an earlier order. He ordered funds from a 792 million state appropriation for school bus transportation in 1978-79 to be placed in escrow to ensure desegregation busing in Cleveland and statewide. Up to 52000 pupils would be bused with about 60 percent of Cleveland students black.

Ohio Supreme Court rejects former sheriff's officer appeal
The Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of former Cuyahoga County sheriff's officer Maj Edward Payne who was convicted Feb 13 1976 for converting confiscated raid items to his use. The court found no constitutional questions involved. The decision followed a challenge to the 8th District Court of Appeals ruling, with Payne's counsel arguing he was not present at sheriff headquarters during the questioned events. In a separate matter, the court let stand a Toledo man's aggravated murder conviction in the shooting of a Michigan hitchhiker Mark Cheers.
