YELLOW ***** TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 2013 ~ VOL. CCLXI NO. 141 WSJ.com HHHH $2.00 WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Monday delivered an- other rebuke to Arizona’s ag- gressive efforts to combat illegal immigration, ruling that the state violated federal law when it added a proof-of-citizenship requirement to a federal voter- registration form nearly a de- cade ago. The ruling, by a 7-2 vote, comes a year after the justices struck down most of a separate Arizona law targeting illegal im- migrants and weeks after a fed- eral judge ruled that the sheriff in Phoenix was improperly using racial profiling against Latinos. The high court cases reinforce that in areas where Washington holds constitutional authority— over immigration and, in Mon- day’s case, the rules for federal elections—states may not over- ride Congress’s judgment. Arizona officials including Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, have long wrangled with the fed- eral government over how to deal with illegal immigration in the state. State officials say they have had to take matters into their own hands because they Please turn to page A4 CONTENTS Business Tech............ B5 CFO Journal................. B6 Corporate News....

A8 Business & Finance World-Wide Follow the news all day at WSJ.com Getty Images TODAY IN PERSONAL JOURNAL The Quest to Cure Motion Sickness PLUS A Case for Peer Pressure What’s News– i i i i i i Next month, a major bridge over the Schuylkill River just out- side Philadelphia will be declared too unsafe for trains to use. Its wood ties are rotten and officials fear the rails, expanding in the summer sun, will pull the trestle apart. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or Septa, says the bridge hasn’t been fixed because Septa is being re- quired to spend money on a differ- ent safety program. The other program is designed to prevent trains from crashing into each other. Both goals—avoiding bridge failures and avoiding train crashes—are top priori- ties, Septa says. But Septa argues that basic repairs are its more urgent need. “We could have great signals,” says Rich Burnfield, Septa’s chief financial officer. “But we might not have safe bridges to run those trains over.” Similar complaints are being made nationwide, from New York’s sprawling transit system, to the tiny 13-station Rail Runner Ex- press in New Mexico. The rail net- works are fighting a federal re- quirement to install anticrash systems by the end of 2015. They argue their systems are already safe and that the requirement si- phons money from repairs. They want Congress to push back the deadline. On Wednesday the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing on railroad safety, includ- ing the progress on installing anti- crash gear. Overall, the mandate applies to at least 25 U.S. passen- ger systems carrying nearly 564 million passengers annually. Central to the debate is the delicate matter of put- ting a dollar value on saving a life. It is an age-old regulatory predicament—namely, whether or not spending to make one thing safe steers money away Please turn to page A16 LONDON—Prosecutors here plan to file criminal fraud charges against a former trader at UBS AG and Citigroup Inc. who alleg- edly was at the center of efforts by several banks to manipulate interest rates, people familiar with the plans said. Tom Hayes, a 33-year-old Brit- ish citizen living near London, could face charges from the U.K.’s Serious Fraud Office as soon as Tuesday. It would be the first move by U.K. authorities to seek criminal penalties against anyone allegedly involved in rigging the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, a benchmark used to set in- terest rates on trillions of dollars of financial contracts, ranging from mortgages to derivatives. Mr. Hayes has long been a pri- mary target of the world-wide in- vestigation, partly because U.S. and British authorities say they have unearthed evidence that his alleged efforts to nudge Libor higher or lower were widespread, occurring on nearly a daily basis over several years. Mr. Hayes hasn’t commented on his alleged role in Libor ma- nipulation, beyond a January text message to the The Wall Street Journal that said, “this goes much much higher than me.” His lawyer declined to comment Monday. Mr. Hayes, who spent much of his career based in Japan, was known by colleagues as “Rain Man” because of his sharp intel- lect and socially awkward de- meanor. He was regarded as one of Tokyo’s top traders, and Citi- group made Mr. Hayes a $5 mil- lion job offer in 2009 to lure him away from UBS. Citigroup fired the trader less than a year later. U.S. prosecutors charged Mr. Hayes and a former colleague in December with conspiracy to com- mit fraud by attempting to manip- ulate Libor, but he wasn’t in the U.S. and hasn’t been extradited. U.S. and British authorities are ex- pected to file a flurry of criminal charges stemming from their Libor Please turn to page A12 BY DAVID ENRICH Fresh Charges Readied In Rate-Rigging Case BY JESS BRAVIN AND TAMARA AUDI Top Court Quashes Arizona Voter Law *Excludes grade-crossing collisions Source: Federal Railroad Administration The Wall Street Journal Declining Deaths Railroad accidents* have been declining over the past decade.

A12 Evan Vucci/Associated Press For Noted Greeks of Yore, The Global Metals Boom Is a Bust i i i High Prices Make Bronzes Targets of Theft; ‘Zorba’ Creator, El Greco Missing ATHENS—A global boom in commodity and scrap metal prices isn’t making Andreas Va- relas, deputy mayor of the Greek capital, very happy these days. Although the city’s recycling division, which he heads, has more than tripled its annual prof- its in the past two years selling scrap metal on the world market, the boom also has a cost: thieves have been pilfering the city’s bronze statues and melting them down for cash. Not to be confused with the priceless, an- cient Greek statuary that grace Athens’s many museums, the sto- len bronzes nevertheless repre- sent a roll call of more contem- porary heroes large and small— and easier pickings for thieves. A modern metal bust of Zorba the Greek’s creator, Nikos Ka- zantzakis, disappeared earlier this year, so too the bronzed vis- age of El Greco, the 16th-century Spanish renaissance artist, who was born on the island of Crete. All told, 10 bronze busts have disappeared in roughly as many months from the city center. They include: two World War II Greek resistance fight- ers, one 19th-century revolutionary war hero, a former mayor of Athens, the founder of the Greek boy scouts, and Cuban na- tional hero and liter- ary figure José Martí. The bronze bust of Latin America’s liberator, Simón Bolí- var, recently went missing but was replaced.
