Shcharansky Convicted of Spying in Moscow Trial
Anatoly Shcharansky, a Jewish dissident backed by President Carter, was found guilty of spying for the United States and anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda. He received 13 years hard labor plus seven years concurrent, with the verdict following a parallel trial that included Alexander Ginzburg's eight-year sentence in Kaluga. The case drew Western condemnation from Carter and German Chancellor Schmidt as a broader human rights flare across the Helsinki accord framework.

Cato Road Dilemma Faces County Road Maintenance Decision
A disputed 18 mile dirt and gravel stretch known as Cato Road sits between U S 380 and the Old Clovis Highway near Roswell. The county may vacate the road or keep it open to serve oil companies and truckers, with a $615000 paving cost and no funds available. Freeholders recommended vacating, while landowner Frates Seeligson and Shell Oil advocate a solution. The matter awaits the next County Commission vote.
