Court martial charges filed against fellow POWs
Col. files court martial charges against former POWs amid tensions within a Viet Nam era camp. Prigdheim says charges were submitted to Army and Navy secretaries for decision after formal investigations. He cites POWs seeking legal advice from Pentagon and civilian lawyers about possible prosecutions, with inquiries covering both enlisted men and officers. He claims some prisoners accepted favors from North Vietnamese guards and that some POWs betrayed others, leading to beatings and torture for attempting to organize communications and camp discipline. Pentagon confirms basic legal assistance but would not steer decisions on proceeding with charges.

Court OKs Opinions Ban Amid FCC Case Rulings
The court ruled some police searches without warrants are constitutional if voluntary permission is shown. It upheld paying the lawyer fees for Joseph Yablonski’s legal team in union battles and split on paid editorials. The FCC case over paid political announcements cited Broadcasters winning against a paid time mandate. Justices Douglas and Stewart dissented, asserting press freedom protected against mandated paid editorial acceptance.
