The justices, returning to the bench one man short following a two-week recess, rejected without comment the appeal of McDonnell Douglas Corp., which removed Phillip Houghton from his test pilot’s job at age 52. Houghton filed suit in U.S. Dis trict Court in St. Louis, Mo., and Judge Kenneth Wangelin ruled against him after hearing conflicting testimony by experts on how age can aflect a test pilot’s performance. But the judge was reversed last April by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The circuit court granted Houghton back pay and ordered him returned to the job of chief production test pilot if it can be shown he remains physically capa ble of “safely and effectively” doing the job. The 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act forbids unfair treatment of workers between 40 I The Battalion Classified I and 65 because of their age, but makes exceptions in instances where age is a crucial factor. McDonnell Douglas claimed that exception, but the appeals court did not agree. Chief Justice Warren Burger, who spent the recess in the hospital with a chronic back condition, was on the bench Monday. But Justice Harry Blackman, recuperating from surgery in Minnesota, was missing. In other cases Monday, the court: — Agreed to review a ruling that water ranks as a valuable mineral that may be claimed and removed from public lands under an old prospecting law. — Agreed for the second time to rule whether New Jersey may out law dumping on its lai Philadelphia and other neighlt, cities. — Refused for the second ft interfere with governmenteffoit break up the big Bell Telepl, System. — Declined to review the death penalty is meted on Arizona, and rejected several^ appeals by death row inmates. — Turned down the got ment’s request to step ft multimillion-dollar legal battlef, the value of helium extracted! natural gas. —Agreed to review a[ owners of the trans-Alaska pipei who are challenging govemmere rates for use of the line.

T’m certainly going to do every thing I can to work to legalize marijuana for medical purposes,” she said in a telephone interview Sunday. “This should be available to people if it’s helpful.” Cron is somewhat of an expert on the use of marijuana for the treat ment of glaucoma, a hereditary eye disease in which fluid builds up be hind the eye causing pressure on the optic nerve. Glaucoma is a painful disease that can end in blindness. Several studies, however, have indicated marijuana reduces the pressure on the optic nerve, preventing the dis ease from worsening. Earlier this year. Cron’s glaucoma took a turn for the worse. She had severe headaches and intense pain around her eyes. Her vision became worse each day. H er doctor suggested surgery, but Cron held back. Instead, she asked the federal government to let her use marijuana. “I started writing letters, I tried every way possible, she recalls. “I wrote to HEW, to state representa tives, to just everybody I could think of to obtain it legally—to no mail from someone who hadk of her plight. “I don’t know if I should held you this,” she said, “butthebm full of marijuana.
