WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court, settling a conflict of
competing constitutional rights,
Wednesday ruled 6-3 that states
;annot require judges to bar the
i and public from cour
trooms when teenage rape vic
tims are testifying.
The decision was a victory
Specifically for the Boston
"-lobe, which successfully chal
lenged a Massachusetts law that
had ordered criminal court
judges automatically to close
their courtrooms when young
victims of sexual assault are on
the witness stand.
The controversy, which pit
ted First Amendment press
freedom rights against Sixth
Amendment fair trial guaran
tees, attracted the attention of
nearly every major professional
journalism organization as well
as 20 of the nation’s largest
newspapers. They all entered
the case in support of the Globe.
Writing for the majority, Jus
tice William Brennan declared
courts can adequately protect
the privacy of sex-crime victims
“by requiring the trial court to
determine on a case-by-case
basis whether the state’s legiti
mate concern for the well-being
of the minor victim necessitates
closure.”
In dissent, Chief Justice War
ren Burger argued the Mas
sachusetts law “is intended not
to preserve confidentiality, but
to prevent the risk of severe
psychological damage caused by
having to relate the details of the
crime in front of a crowd which
inevitably will include voyeuris
tic strangers.”
Burger was joined in dissent
by Justice William Rehnquist.
Justice John Paul Stevens Filed a
separate dissenting statement.
Amtrak fire
kills two;
others hurt
United Press International
GIBSON, Calif.— A pre
dawn fire broke out aboard an
Amtrak train Wednesday in the
foothills of Shasta County, kill
ing two people and sending
dozens of others to a hospital for
smoke inhalation.
More than 50 passengers
were evacuated from the Port
land, Ore., to Los Angeles train
when the Fire erupted, gutting
one car before rescue teams ar
rived at the mountainous site 25
miles northeast of Redding.
One person apparently died
of a heart attack and another of
smoke inhalation, the Shasta
County Sheriffs Department
said. The victims were in a sleep
ing car when the blaze occurred.
The injured were taken by
bus to Mercy Hospital in Red
ding where they were treated
for smoke inhalation.
An electrical problem re
portedly caused the fire, said
Jane Carey, spokeswoman for
the sheriffs office.
The blaze started at 2:12 a.m.
and stopped the train at the
foothills of the Cascades.

Exposing CIA agents abroad illegal
United Press International
i: WASHINGTON —President
Reagan Wednesday signed into
law a bill making it illegal to ex
pose the identities of American
| spies, declaring that the nation’s
intelligence agents “are the eyes
and ears of the free world.”
In remarks during a signing
ceremony at CIA headquarters
In nearby Langley, Va., Reagan

ilent service whose work is not

y to Americans living

eir own names without penal
ty and require the president
’:ach year to report to Congress
[bn the effectiveness of measures
ing taken to protect the identi-
ies of covert agents.
The administration believes
hat agents in foreign lands are
jeopardized if their names are
lisclosed. Conviction under the
hew law would carry a fine of up
to $50,000 and the possibility of
up to 10 years in prison.
Reagan flew by helicopter to
the secluded CIA complex,
where he said he was signing the
other® 5 ! legislation with great pride.
jy Several hundred spectators,
jail of them CIA employees,
Mgathered on a sun-drenched
I jsloping hillside to hear the presi-
Jdent’s remarks. An Army band
jentertained the crowd before
Reagan’s arrival.
;J CIA Director William Casey
■greeted the president and later
guided him on a tour of the
; agency’s headquarters,
j Reagan addressed some
1,000 covert agents in the mod-
j jernistic auditorium adjacent to
the headquarters building. He
told them they are “locked in a
deadly conflict with the totalita
rian system” and serve as the trip
wire that warns against dangers
to the country.
“You are the eyes and ears of
the free world,” the president
said.
Reagan described passage of
the legislation as a vote of confi
dence in the CIA by the Amer
ican people.
The administration has taken
steps to reverse what Reagan has
called misguided reforms of the
intelligence community over the
years. “Today,” he said, “after a
decade of neglect and criticism,
the nation’s intelligence agen
cies are being rebuilt.
“You will be the cutting edge
of freedom in peace and in war.
But let me assure you that you
are on the winning side.”.
Later in the day, Reagan
arranged to meet with British
Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher, who flew to Washing
ton from New York after
addressing the U.N. special ses
sion on disarmament.
