United Press International WASHINGTON —The Leg al Services Corporation is taking steps to curb local agencies from keeping large amounts of money in reserve to be used as a hedge against President Reagan’s effort to end the law program for the poor. According to a staff memor andum, 26 field programs car ried more than 50 percent of their grant funds for 1981 — a total of $10.3 million^—forward into 1982. Another 64 local programs had balances higher than 25 percent and they are being re quired to justify the balance and outline plans for reducing it. “They should be dealt with swiftly and definitively,” the memorandum said, announcintr that by administrative action the. national staff will cut off future funding for the 26 programs starting Aug. 27 until they spend a major portion of their reserves. Although the local programs will be allowed to appeal the de cision, the memo made clear it will no longer allow the local programs to carry much more than a 10 percent reserve ba lance forward. Much of the reason for the high reserves stems from uncer tainty about the future of the program. Reagan, an opponent of free legal services for the poor since he was governor of California, has twice tried to end all federal funding for Legal Services Cor- nnration. The Best Of Everything!

The unusually high balances, he said “occured as either a con scious plan to maintain a reserve for case completion in 1982 — if there was no more money from the corporation — or as a result of unplanned attrition coupled with difficulty in attracting re placement staff.” He said a positive feature of the high reserves were that “a number of programs are able to maintain offices that otherwise would have been closed and re tain staff whose employment would have been terminated at the end of 1981.” Civil rights rule allegedly broken United Press International BOSTON — Police say they are shocked by a judge’s decision to release — without bail — a white teenager arrested for violating the civil rights of a black family in a racially tense neighborhood. “I cannot believe the court would treat a felony complaint so lightly,” Police Commissioner Joseph M. Jordan said, after Michael Gaine, 18, was released without bond following a court appearance on charges of ex posing himself to a black woman and her family in their Hyde Park neighborhood. Associate West Roxbury Dis trict Court Judge Augustine Gannon said he made the re lease Monday because he had re ceived only a misdeameanor complaint — not a felony as police had said. Gaine, who had been held Sunday night in lieu of $ 100,000 bail, went before Gannon on the lewdness charge and was re leased without bail pending a hearing Sept. 7. “If the proper complaint has been brought before me, he (Gaine) would have been arraigned and a trial date set,” Gannon said. But a police spokesman said, “As far as we know, that’s how it went in (as a felony) and that’s why the commissioner made his statement.” Gaine faces up to three years for a felony lewdness conviction. Police said Gaine and another youth, David Gilligan, 20, violated a landmark civil rights order signed by them and six other youths last week in Suffolk Superior Court. The order, which resulted from the first use of a state’s civil-rights act, banned the youths from harassing blacks in the neighborhood and specific ally prohibited them from con gregating in a playground across the street from the home of a black family, which has been repeatedly harassed. Police said the two youths were spotted in the field Sunday after Bertha Brooks com plained. Gaine was arrested and charged with open and gross lewdness for allegedly exposing himself and urinating in front of the woman and her child. The office of state Attorney General Francis X. Bellotti was investigating the incident to de termine if the two young men can be cited for contempt of the court order. Suffolk Superior Court Judge James Lynch who issued the court order did not specify what penalties would be handed down for violations, but said any violators would be sure to see the “inside of Deer Island” jail. But officials at Deer Island, where the inmate population is nearly 50 percent black, said if Gaine is ordered there they would seek to have him transfer red to another jail because his presence might trigger prob lems. Inflation rate falls to 7.3 percent United Press International WASHINGTON — Consum er price inflation moderated to an annual rate of 7.3 percent in July after two previous months of double digit increases, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Housing, fuel and medical care costs were the big gainers during the month while food and beverage prices, in the best performance since a March de cline, held steady, the depart ment said. It said the Consumer Price Index rose at a monthly rate of 0.6 percent in July, compared to 1 percent increases in May and June that now appear to have been temporary surges primari ly caused by climbing gas and housing prices. The inflation rate since the beginning of the year through July climbed 0.3 of a point to a moderate 5.4 percent, com pared to the rate for all of last year of 8.9 percent. All figures were adjusted for seasonal price patterns. Favorable trends already de veloping in fuel prices and mort gage rates, combined with steady food prices, seem to promise continued moderation in overall retail prices for at least the next several months, most analysts say. The month’s CPI, before sea sonal adjustment, was 292.2, equivalent to a national average July cost of $292.20 for the gov ernment’s sample “market bas ket” of goods and services that cost $100 in 1967.
