Solons (Continued From Page One) ting up legislative districts was contrary 1 to the U.S. Constitution and must be disregarded. House Speaker Julian Carroll, a Paducah Democrat who is run ning for lieutenant governor on a slate headed by former Gov.
Bert T. Combs, objected to a clause which said the General Assembly had the responsibility for reapportionment. Carroll maintained that Nunn shared that responsibility and should present his recommendation to the Legislature. House minority leader Harold DeMarcus of Stanford interjected that in the 1970 session Carroll had condemned what he had termed Nunn's "heavy hand" the legislative process. "I believe he is inviting that heavy hand now," DeMarcus said.
Carroll replied that there was "a distinct difference" between making a recommendation and exerting pressure to get the recommendation adopted. "He's going to have to make a recommendation," Carroll said. In response, Rep. Eugene Stuart, R-Louisville, asked: you think he won't? If you you are the only one in this room who And Sen. Walter "Dee" Huddleston, D-Elizabethtown, commented to Carroll: "You don't seriously expect, nor would you object to his (Nunn's) pitching it out for us to do, do you?" Carroll said the ideal situation would be for a governor to be in the middle of a spectrum between interfering with the Legislature and not having anything to do with it.
Referring to Nunn's veto of the Sunday closing law last year Carroll said it was not fair for legislators to pass bills while guessing if the governor would sign or veto them. "Julian, the trouble is you have never been in a position before where you had to guess at what the governor would do," commented Stuart, implying that past Democratic governors had dominated the Legislature.

Mail To Publishers Of Obscene Materials Can't Be Detained WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court barred the Post Office Thursday from intercepting mail to publishers of obscene books and magazines.
In a unanimous decision, Justice William J. Brennan Jr. said two federal laws used by the Post Office were not "sensitive" enough to the right of free speech. The laws were declared unconstitutional. Brennan quoted the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes that "use of the mails is almost as much a part of free speech.
as the right to use our tongues." However, the decision does not affect the government's power to prosecute dealers. Also, the court specifically bypassed the question of whether people have a right to receive obscene books land devices by mail. Post Office officials said they will continue to enforce criminal laws aganst dealers "with or." And they reminded that Congress has prohibited delivery of material to people who asked to be kept off mailing lists. One of the laws invalidated was enacted in 1890. It gave the postmaster general authority to return letters and money orders that were addressed to companies he decided were trafficking in obscenity.
The second law, enacted in 1960, authorized the detention of mail until the dealer persuaded the Post Office he was not in the obscenity business. Brennan held the laws unconinstitutional for two, reasons: First, they put burden on the publisher to prove he has a right to receive his mail.

Six volunteer fire departments fought the fire with 1 the aid of city and county police and one aerial fire truck from the Louisville Fire Department. "God, I couldn't believe we could get so many down that way," said one of the volunteer firemen. "Some of my men who had never done any such ladder work before got a couple of them." Firemen said it was fortunate that floors in the building, completed at a cost of $1.5 million, were made of fire-resistant concrete.

In a second ruling, the court required hundreds of cities in the South to obtain federal approval before expanding their boundaries to take in more white voters or changing the location of polling places. Since annexations and changes have a "potential" for discriminating against black voters, said Brennan, approval of the U.S. attorney general or a U.S.

Charles Ryan, Destiny (Continued From Page One) Nixon made but one announcement of a new administration aim in his remarks aimed at the at the university. He said he will send a special message to the 1971 Congress proposing a new agency that would bring together the Peace Corps, VISTA and related federal efforts to utilize volunteer service. Nixon said his new agency, yet to be named, would "give young Americans an expanded opportunity for the services they want to give--and that will give them what is not now offered, a chance to transfer between service abroad and at home." In reciting the multiple problems facing the country, the President declared: "We must meet them together. There can be no generation gap in America. The destiny of this nation is not divided into yours and ours-it is one destiny.
We share it together. We are responsible for it together." The chief executive, in his broadest appeal yet to the young people who will be voting for the first time in 1972, said: "'Let us forge an alliance be-' tween generations." Citing 1970 legislation that gives voting rights in federal elections to those 18 years of age or older, Nixon said: "So much is in your hands now. To those who have believed the system could not be moved I urge you try it. To those who have thought the system was impenetrable, I say there is no longer a need to penetrate the door is open." Nixon added: "You have now the opportunity and the obligato mold the world you live in, and you cannot escape this obligation." In a television-radio interview last week with four broadcast journalists, Nixon cited a Life magazine poll that, he conceded, would indicate the younger voters at this time would not the way he might prefer.

Lyndon Johnson Is Ill SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) Former President Lyndon B. Johnson has been admitted to the Army's Brooke General Hospital with a "probable viral pneumonia," officials said Thursday. They said Johnson, who was hospitalized here for 11 days last March for chest pains, was admitted to Brooke Wednesday evening.
Officials said Johnson's ailment was mild. "There i is no indication of any cardiac problem," a statement said. When treated here last March, doctors said the former president's chest pains were caused by hardening of the arteries. The pains diminished and disappeared. His attending physician, Col.
Robert North, "does not a anticipate that Mr. Johnson will remain hospitalized for any extended period," the prepared statement said. Mrs. Johnson accompanied former chief executive to the big Army hospital Wednesday and was here with him Thursday. She was at the hospital almost constantly after he entered Brooke last March 2.

Medina was quoted by a witness Thursday as ordering Lt. William L. Calley Jr. and other platoon leaders at My Lai to "stop the "Capt. Medina radioed to stop the shooting," said James Flynn, 22, a defense witness at Calley's court-martial.
"He said to stop the killing." Q. Did you hear any firing thereafter? A No I didn't. The implication was that Medlina, as commander of Charlie Company, was aware that his infantrymen were killing unarmed Vietnamese civilians as the government claims they were. Calley, 27, is accused of premediated murder of 102 villagers during an infantry assault on My Lai March 16, 1968. Under cross-examination, the prosecutor, Capt.
Aubrey Daniel, brought out that nearly a year ago, Flynn told an Army investigating committee that Medina's orders was only to stop the shooting, with no mention of killing. Flynn, a pipefitter from Rochester, Minn. who testified in a harsh voice, accused Daniel of trying to distort his statement and insisted that Medina also used the word "killing." Flynn, who was one of Medina's radio operators at My Lai, said that at a briefing the night before the assault the company commander told his troops they were "supposed to kill everything in the village that moved, that it was a chance to take revenge.

Bryan died at 3:55 p.m. Tuesday in Doctor's Hospital in. Harrisburg, Ill. "Someone, asked if we were supposed to kill women and children," Flynn went on. "He replied to kill everything that moved." Flynn testified on cross-examination that as Medina and his group were about to take a luncheon break at My Lai, they saw a Vietnamese man and two little girls.
Q. Were these children moving? A. Yes. Q. Why didn't you shoot them? A.
I wasn't ordered to. Q. Were these children shot? A. No, We took them with us to dinner (sic). While moving through the village, Flynn testified, Medina shot and killed "a Vietnamese girl," and later ordered a boy of 4 or 5 shot.
Medina has publicly admitted shooting a woman at My Lai. He said she appeared dead, but out of the corner of his eye he saw her move and acted by reflex in the belief she might be about to throw a grenade at him. Medina currently is under investigation in connection with My Lai to see whether he must stand trial. Norwegian Cutie May Be Sex Symbol Of '70s LONDON (AP) Julie Ege, a favorite slice of cheesecake in Britain, has had a walk-on, a strip-off and the female lead as a prehistoric beauty who grunts instead of talks in the movies. This is the Norwegian cutie her movie studio hopes will be the sex symbol of the 1970s.

Bruce said an "element of deep concern" for the United States is the Communists' "totally unsatisfactory performance in regard to our men missing and captured in South Vietnam and Laos." Bruce said only one letter has been received from American prisoners in South Vietnam and none at all from those in Laos. North Vietnam on Dec. 22 published a list of 339 Americans it says it holds captive. Those on the list were previously known to be captives.
