WASHINGTON — In an
effort to encourage states to re
cover food stamp overpay
ments, the Agriculture Depart
ment said Monday that states
will be able to keep 25 percent of
the money they recover from
people who get too many
stamps.
The department estimated
that the change authorized last
year by Congress would allow
states to keep about $1 million
this fiscal year. That would be
their share of recovered over
payments of benefits that were
issued as a result of mistakes.
In the past, states had little
incentive to recover money be
cause all of it was turned back to
the U.S. Treasury.

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court, acting on its first
Abscam appeal, avoided for the
time being an examination of
the FBI’s undercover operation
in which agents posed as bribe
paying representatives of bogus
Arab sheiks.
Although the justices left in
tact the conspiracy convictions
of two former Philadelphia City
Council leaders, they are not
likely to sidestep the explosive
issue indefinitely.
The legal controversy over
Abscam centers on whether the
FBI created an unconstitutional
“climate of temptation” that un-
faidy trapped politicians into
accepting illegal payments.
Several other Abscam cases
are still pending in lower courts.
Six House members and one
senator, Harrison Williams, D-
N.J., were found guilty of
Abscam charges by federal
juries.
In other actions today, the
court:
•Refused on a 5-4 vote to set
free a man who was sentenced to
die in Florida’s electric chair, but
whose murder conviction was la
ter overturned.
•Avoided a major water-
rights controversy testing
whether people in desert re
gions own groundwater under
their land. The court let stand
an Arizona ruling declaring resi
dents do not own the water until
it is pumped to the surface.
•Refused to take up a major
challenge to the complex and
controversial federal law that
controls natural gas prices, re
jecting an appeal by Texas,
Louisiana and Oklahoma.
•Said it will decide whether
airport narcotics agents can —
without a search warrant — de
tain the luggage of a suspected
drug courier to have the bags
sniffed by a specially trained
dog.
•Agreed to study another
drug smuggling controversy,
focusing on the power of U.S.
Customs agents to board foreign
ships sailing on inland water
ways.
•Accepted for argument a
dispute over whether a court-
appointed attorney failed to do
his job because he ignored his
client’s suggestions on how to
handle the case.
•Voted 9-0 to block federal
court intervention in labor rela
tions between local public transit
workers and their managers.
•Upheld 9-0 a practice in
Puerto Rico and more than a
dozen states of allowing a politic
al party to retain and fill a mid
term legislative vacancy.
The Abscam appeal, brought
by former City Council Presi
dent George X. Schwartz and
former Council Majority Leader
Harry P. Jannotti, focused pri
marily on the issue of entrap
ment by agents.
During Abscam, undercover
agents offered bribes to public
officials in exchange for political
favors. Schwartz and Jannotti
were recorded on videotape tak
ing cash from agents who told

United Press International
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. —A team
of police officers Monday cut
the chains of 15 Equal Rights
Amendment backers locked for
more than four days to the door
way of the state Senate chamber
and removed them from the
Capitol.
The pro-ERA demonstrators I
had been chained to the brass
rail of the chamber entrance
since early Thursday. They un
chained themselves for food,
periodic exercise and visits to
the bathroom.
Secretary of State Jim Edgar
said he ordered the women re- |
moved to prevent them from
disrupting the business of the
Statehouse. He said the state fire
marshal was concerned that the
blocked entrance was a fire
hazard.
“It was the time to take action
and the removal from the Capi-
,tol Building was done in a
smooth and orderly fashion,”
Edgar said. The Senate was
scheduled to reconvene Mon
day. It adjourned shortly after

them a wealthy Arab sheik
needed their political assistance
to build a $35 million hotel com
plex in Philadelphia.
Schwartz took $30,000 and
jannotti $10,000.
A jury found them guilty in
September 1980. But presiding
Judge John Fullam threw out
the convictions, concluding that
“the rights of all citizens not to
be led into criminal activity by
governmental overreaching will
remain secure only so long as the
courts stand ready to vindicate
those rights.”
the demonstration began last
week.
Officials said last week the
women could remain chained to
the chamber “as long as they be
have.” But they also said they
would review the situation on a
daily basis.
