Israel's Supreme Court ruled today that the military censor had the right to close an Israeli newspaper's printing plant for four days after the editors published information without prior submission to censorship. The case arose amid efforts by the Government of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to suppress news about the unexplained deaths of two of four Arabs who hijacked an Israeli bus with 35 passengers aboard on April 12. The newspaper, Hadashot, published a brief article Friday reporting that a commission of inquiry into the deaths had been established by Defense Minister Moshe Arens. Mr. Arens acted after evidence, gathered principally by Hadashot, was made public indicating that at least one of the hijackers had been captured alive and killed later after Israeli troops stormed the bus. During the assault, an Israeli woman was killed and seven other passengers were wounded. Two hijackers were also killed on the spot, but the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the other two are unclear.

NIGERIAN MILITARY REGIME IS REINING IN ONE OF THE FREEST PRESSES IN AFRICA

Date: 30 April 1984

By Clifford D. May

The military regime that seized power here on New Year's Eve has taken strong measures against the Nigerian press, jailing five journalists and, in the view of some, intimidating many others. On April 17 the military Government issued a decree granting itself the power to close down newspapers and radio and television stations that are deemed to be acting in a manner detrimental to the interest of the Government. It also assumed the power to imprison journalists for inaccurate reporting or for writing articles that bring Government officials into ridicule or disrepute. The decree was reminiscent of a decree signed into law in 1976 by the head of state, Lieut. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo.

HIGH COURT CALLS FOR SPECIAL CARE IN LIBEL APPEALS

Date: 01 May 1984

By Linda Greenhouse, Special To the New York Times

Linda Greenhouse

The Supreme Court, resolving an important issue in libel law, ruled today that the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of the press required appellate courts to conduct especially careful reviews of libel judgments. The 6-to-3 ruling was a significant victory for the press, which has come increasingly to rely on the willingness of appellate courts to overturn jury awards to plaintiffs who say they have been defamed. A recent study by the Libel Defense Resource Center found that libel plaintiffs won 83 percent of jury trials, but that news organizations won more than 70 percent of appeals. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Associate Justice John Paul Stevens, upheld an appellate court's finding that there was inadequate evidence to justify a libel judgment against Consumers Union for an inaccurate review of a stereo speaker.
