John Paul Stevens
By United Press International
John Paul Stevens’ oldest friends and
associates hesitate to classify his political
stance.
One, when asked whether President
Ford’s choice for the Supreme Court was a
Republican or Democrat, said, “Gosh, I
don’t know.’’
Another said Stevens “defies
categorization.”
Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-111., Stevens’
University of Chicago classmate who
recommended him to then President
Nixon for the bench in 1970, said, “I can
never think of him as either a conservative
or a liberal.”
He added Stevens is a strict
constructionist of the Constitution. Others
said Stevens is a pragmatist who hesitates
to expand federal law but will do so when
he thinks it is right.
But Stevens — who likes bow ties,
tournament-class bridge, golf, and piloting
airplanes — has a record of brilliant legal
achievement and of moderate
conservatism as reflected in the opinions
delivered during his five years on the
Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Chicago.
The U.S. appellate court judge is short,
gray-haired, shy and soft-spoken. He lives
with his wife, Betty, in the southwest
Chicago suburb of Burr Ridge with the two
youngest off their four children, Elizabeth,
14, and Susan, 12.
His most flamboyant trait, if it can be
called that, is a love for piloting small
planes. He also golfs and plays bridge in
the tournament class, as befits a man who
graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Chicago
and first in his class at the Northwesternn
University Law School.
If he is confirmed, he will be the first
Supreme Court justice partial to bow ties
since Tom Clark.
Stevens was born in Chicago 55 years
ago, won the Bronze Star for valor in
action with the Navy in World War 11, and
prepared for his career as a law clerk to
Supreme Court Justice Wiley Rutledge in
1947 and 1948.
He became an expert in antitrust law
and served as an associate counsel on the
House Judiciary Subcommittee on

Judge Stevens
Monopoly Power in 1951. From 1950 until
he became a judge, he gained wide
experience in corporate law as a member
of the Chicago firm of Rothschild, Hart,
Stevens, Barry and Myers.
He also taught antitrust law at Chicago
and Nortthwestern law schools and
between 1953 and 1955 was a member of the
Attorney General’s National Commission
to Study Antitrust Laws.
Stevens took a role in state government
in 1969, when he was general counsel for a
special Illinois Supreme Court commission
investigating misconduct charges against
two of the court’s justices. The justices
eventually resigned, denying wrongdoing.
Stevens’ judicial opinions indicate a
conservative legal scholar prone to uphold
the powers of government but wishing to
give the states more leeway in applying
the law under the Constitution.
Nevertheless, some of his closest friends
said they could not put a tab on him.
Philip Kurland, a University of Chicago
authority on constitutional law who has
known Stevens for 30 years, said, “He is a
first-rate lawyer, a firstirate judge, and a
first-rate person. More than that you can’t
ask for.”
Attorneys
file suit
on Medicaid
ATLANTA (UPI) - Attor
neys for two state Medicaid
recipients have filed suit in
federal court here to keep the
state from imposing fees for
several Mediciad services.
Attorney Wayne Pressel of
the Georgia Ineigent Legal
Services contends in the suit,
filed Friday, that having to pay
the fees for medical services
would force poor recipients to
choose between health care
“and further deprivation of
food, shelter and clothing.”
Georgia Medicaid patients
are to begin paying $1 for
doctor visits, $2 for visits to
hospital outpatient clinics and
up to $25 for inpatient hospital
care on Monday.
The suit, filed on behalf of
Fannie Crane of Dahlonega and
Evelyn Jackson of Gainesville,
seeks to block temporarily and
permanently the collection of
those fees and to force the
refunding of any of the “co
payments” already collected.
“Although to middle-and
upper-class families a $1 or $2
or $25 charge would not keep
one away from medical atten
tion,” the suit says, “to the
low-income plaintiffs such
charges are disastrous.”
A hearing will be held
Monday on the request for an
order temporarily halting the
imposition of the fees.

Moose risks
its life
for a mate
BOSTON (UPI) - A love
sick, wandering moose who’s
looking for a winter mate is
also risking his life.
The 850-pound moose, be
lieved suffering from a worm
disease that affects his naviga
tional ability, drifted south
from Maine about two months
ago.
All he’s got on his mind is
finding a lady moose. After all,
it’s rutting season. But starting
Monday, it’s also deer-hunting
season —for six days.
“Even though it’s illegal to
hunt moose in Massachusetts,
we’re worried this guy is going
to be mistaken for a deer,”
state Fisheries and Wildlife
Division spokesman Richard
Cronin said Friday.
“As for attracting females
down here,” he added, “in this
case he’s got a hopeless task,
and maybe that’s made him
even meaner.”
Names added
Spalding Junior High Unit II
has added the names of Joy
Smallwood, Melissa Smith and
and Gail Southern to its A & B
honor roll.
