Court Declines to Rule on Case of Reporters' Refusal to Testify

The United States Supreme Court declined yesterday to hear the cases of two reporters facing up to 18 months in jail for refusing to testify about conversations with their confidential sources.

The case now returns to Federal District Court in Washington, where Judge Thomas F. Hogan will hear arguments on Wednesday about when and where the reporters, Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, will begin to serve their time.

Ms. Miller has said she will go to jail rather than testify. "Journalists simply cannot do their jobs without being able to commit to sources that they won't be identified," she said in a statement yesterday. "Such protection is critical to the free flow of information in a democracy."

A tabloid made a donation to an organization for burn victims after calling an officer who suffered disfiguring burns while on duty "ugly."

American Media Inc., owner of the Weekly World News, which ran a list of the "top 10 ugliest people" in its Feb. 7 issue, agreed Monday to make a donation to the Foundation for Burns and Trauma. The amount of the donation wasn't disclosed, but those involved called it "significant."

"I may have been hurt a little on Feb. 7, but they've made up for it and then some by funding critical programs for people and causes closest to my heart," said Jason Schechterle, a Phoenix police officer who suffered fourth-degree burns to his hands and face when his patrol car exploded into flames in 2001.
