High Court ruling upholds
separation of church, state
Associated Press
MAYWOOD, Ill. — Three for
mer executives of a silver-recycling
plant were sentenced Monday to 25
years in prison and fined $10,000
each for their landmark murder
convictions in the job-related cy
anide death of a worker.
Cook County Circuit Judge Ron
ald J.P. Banks compared the actions
of the three officials of defunct Film
Recovery Systems Inc. to someone
who would leave “a time bomb . . .
ticking off’ in an airplane.
“What happened is a gross injus
tice,” Banks said. “A man is dead.”
Banks found the three men guilty
June 14 of murder and reckless con
duct after an eight-week nonjury
trial.
The murder convictions were be
lieved to be the first in the nation of
corporate officials in a job-related
death.
The convictions stemmed from
the Feb. 10, 1983, death of Stefan
Golab, a 61-year-old Polish immi
grant who died after inhaling cy
anide fumes at the plant in north
suburban Elk Grove Village. Cy
anide was used to recover silver
from used X-ray film.
Banks said at the sentencing that
the defendants were clearly aware of
hazardous plant conditions and did
not have appropriate warning signs
for the workers, many of whom were
illegal aliens and could not speak En
glish.
He said it was as if someone would
“take a bomb and put in an airline
(and run away while) . . . the time
bomb is ticking off,” he said. “Every
day people worked there, it kept
ticking, it kept ticking.
“All of the defendants are going
to pay.”
In arguments Monday, Tom
Tucker, assistant state’s attorney,
said plant workers regularly suf
fered from nausea, headaches and
vomiting. “They (the defendants)
had knowledge of the workers be
coming ill on a daily basis,” he said.
“They were motivated by greed, and
greed alone.”
Defense attorneys contended the
defendants had been unaware of
dangerous conditions at the plant
and had worked there themselves.
Banks also sentenced the de
fendants to 364 days in jail for each
of 14 counts of reckless conduct.
Those sentences will be served con
currently.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Public school
teachers may not conduct classes in
religiously affilated schools, the Su
preme Court ruled Monday as it
upheld strict standards for separa
tion of church and state.
By a bare 5-4 majority, the court
dealt a major setback to the Reagan
administration and other advocates
of expanded government support of
parochial education.
In two rulings, the justices de
clared unconstitutional the use of
taxpayer dollars to finance “shared
time” programs in New York City
and Grand Rapids, Mich.
“The symbolic union of church
and state . . . threatens to convey a
message of state support for religion
to students and to tne general pub
lic,” Justice William J. Brennan
wrote for the court.
The court thus concluded a series
of surprising decisions in which the
justices refused to change — at least
for now — their view of the constitu
tional relationship between govern
ment and religion.
In recent rulings, the court has
outlawed organized silent prayers in
public schools and banned states
from forcing employers to give
workers their choice of a religious
day off each week.
In a flurry of activity on the next-
to-last day of its 1984-85 term, the
court also:
Ruled by a 6-3 vote that men
tally retarded people are entitled to
no special legal protection, as are
blacks and women, against discrimi
natory treatment by state and local
governments. But the same ruling
unanimously struck down as a form
of “irrational prejudice” a Cleburne,
Texas, zoning ordinance that ex
cluded a group home for the men
tally retarded.
Cleared the way, by a 5-4 vote,
for continued use in private lawsuits
of a federal anti-mobster law em
ployed in recent efforts to label such
businesses as American Express Co.,
E.F. Hutton Sc Co. and Lloyd’s of
London as “racketeers.”
Gave customs officials broad
power to detain suspected drug
smugglers believed to be sneaking
narcotics into the country by swal
lowing the drugs. The court, 7-2, re
instated the conviction of a woman
detained for 16 hours at a Los An
geles airport until nature could take
its course and force her to excrete 88
balloons filled with cocaine.
In the school aid cases, the court
appeared to invalidate nationwide
the use of a federal program known
as Title I to finance education for
underprivileged parochial school-
children.
Most of the program’s $3 billion
annual budget, however, is used for
public schools and is not affected by
the ruling.
The Title I program was enacted
in 1965. New York City school offi
cials decided the following year to
use some of the program money to
pay public school teachers to give re
medial instruction to private school
students in classes held in private
schools.
Brennan, in his opinion for the
court, said city officials made a well-
intentioned effort to police the pro
gram to make sure public school tea
chers were not inculcating students
with religious views.
U.S. helicopter enters
Salvadoran war zone
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A U.S. Army
CH-47 helicopter flew into a battle
zone in northeastern El Salvador two
weeks ago to recover a Salvadoran
helicopter that had crashed, admin
istration officials said Monday. They
called the American-manned flight
unprecedented in the 5-year-old
civil war.
The officials said the flight, which
originated in Honduras, was re
quested by the Salvadoran air force
and took place only after the area in
northern Morazan province had
been secured by Salvadoran troops
who were conducting an offensive
against leftist guerrilla strongholds.
Maj. Fred Lash, a Pentagon
spokesman, said the Salvadoran
UH-1H helicopter had gone down
on June 14 after an accident during
a military operation and the twin-ro
tor CH-47 Chinook helicopter was
sent in from Honduras’ Palmerola
air base on June 16. It was manned
by a four-member American crew.
“The Chinook was never in any
danger,” Lash said. “The area had
been secured by the Salvadoran
army earlier.”
Lash said the Chinook flight did
not violate administration rules bar
ring U.S. military forces from enter
ing areas where combat is occurring
or is considered likely.
