WASHINGTON UP) _ The
Supreme Court today barred
small-town mayors from sitting
as judges when the fines collect
ed upon conviction are a major
source of village revenues.
The 7 to 2 decisions in a traffic
case from Monroeville, Ohio, will
have an impact in 17 states with
laws authorizing such dual roles.
Justice William J. Brennan Jr.
delivered the majority opinion,
which drew dissenting votes from
Justices Byron R. White and Wil
liam H. Rehnquist.
Brennan said a citizen charged
with violating an ordinance is en
titled by the Constitution’s “due
process” provision to a “neutral
and detached judge.”
He said a mayor or official
whose responsibilities include the
village’s finances could be biased
on the bench.
The case involved a local man,
Clarence Ward, who was con
victed by the Monroeville mayor
of failure to stop his truck at a
police check-point and refusing
to produce his driver’s license.
He was fined $100.
The mayor in Monroeville had
both executive and judicial pow
ers. Besides sitting on the bench,
he was president of the village
council, had general over-all su
pervision of village affairs and
had to account to the council on
village finances.
A major part of the village’s
income came from the fines col
lected in the mayor’s court. In
1968, for example, this was about
$23,000 of the $63,000 village
revenue.
The ruling reverses Ward’s
conviction and invalidates the
state law that authorized the
mayor’s court and casts a shad
ow on similar laws in 16 other
states — Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis
souri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Tex
as, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Don’t Complain, Just Buy Cheaper Beef
So you think steak is too ex
pensive ?
“If you complain to me about
the price of steaks — I suggest
that you buy a cheaper cut of
beef,” said Dr. Ed Uvacek, live
stock marketing specialist with
the Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
“There are plenty of low-priced
cuts of beef available to you,
such as hamburger, stewing beef,
short ribs and others.”
“If consumers complain that
beef is too high, then my advice
would be simple — don’t buy it!
I certainly wouldn’t want you to
buy something you can’t afford,”
pointed out the associate profes
sor at A&M.
He cited an example. “If a
person can’t afford a Cadillac —
he simply doesn’t buy one. Yet,
he doesn’t go around complain
ing how expensive they are.”
Uvacek listed three factors
which account for the increased
demand for beef — higher per
capita incomes, beef is a luxury
food, and the change in tastes
and preferences of Americans.
The specialist has some sig
nificant observations concerning
beef prices. “Relative to other
foods, beef is now actually cheap
er than it was in the early 1950’s
or early 1960’s. Relative to your
income, beef is cheaper today
than it has ever been in history.”
The livestock industry has
tried to produce more beef, but
during 1971 and 1972 production
has not been able to keep up with
the rising demand.
ODESSA, Tex. (A*) — Permian
Junior College System regents
have paid a $48,000 out-of-court
settlement to an instructor who
was fired in 1969 and carried his
case to the U. S. Supreme Court.
Bob Sindermann, now staff di
rector of the Texas Senate’s
Committee on Public Junior Col
leges, flew here over the week
end and picked up the check,
representing back pay and at
torney’s fees.
Sindermann, 43, alleged his con
tract as a government teacher
was not renewed because of his
lobbying activities in Austin to
get a teacher tenure law for jun
ior college teachers and to have
Odessa College elevated to four-
year status.
Dr. Jack Rodgers, Odessa Col
lege president at the time and
now system chancellor, said he
discharged Sindermann for miss
ing classes without permission to
go to Austin.
At the time of his dismissal,
Sindermann was president of the
Texas Junior College Teachers
Association.
Sindermann filed suit May 22,
1969, two days after he was told
he would not receive a new con
tract. A federal district court
judge issued a summary judg
ment in favor of the college and
against Sindermann. The U. S.
Court of Appeals for the 6th Cir
cuit reversed that ruling, and the
school’s regents appealed to the
U. S. Supreme Court.
The high court ruled June 29,
1972, that Sindermann had an
unwritten right to job tenure
and sent the case back to trial
court for a hearing.
