()-A suit seeking $1.75 million in damages was filed yesterday in district court against the producers of the movie "Bonnie and Clyde". The suit was filed in behalf of the late Texas Ranger Capt. Frank Hamer Sr. and alleged defamation of character and invasion of pri- vacy. Warner Brothers Seven Arts Inc. is named as the defendant in the suit pending in Judge Wil- liam M. Holland's 127th Civil Dis- trict Court. Hamer's widow and his son, Frank Hamer Jr., are the plain- tiffs in the case. The petition accuses Warner Brothers of exploiting the life and career of Capt. Hamer in the movie. "A substantial portion of the showing time of the film 'Bonnie and Clyde' is devoted to Capt. Frank Hamer, who is identified explicity by namve as a Texas Ranger, portraying him as an in- ept pursuer of the desperadoes, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, Ln a wholly fictitious and un- warranted portrayal, and finally as their vindictive killer from am- bush," the suit stated. Workshops To Discuss Drug Uses (Continued from Page 1) The last part of the Teach-In will be the series of informal work- shops in Angell and Mason Halls beginning at 10 p.m. There will be workshops on "LSD Experi- ences," "Busts," "Comparative Ef- fects of Different Drugs," "Drugs and Political Involvement," "Drug Compliments and Substitutes," as well as a continuation of Sinclair's seminar. All the workshops will empha- size student participation and en- courage people to share experi- ences they have had or opinions they may have. Because views on drug use are so varied, it is be- lieved by McCreath that such a mixture of views are necessary for the problem to be discussed pro- perly. WCBN radio will broadcast the keynote address live, and rebroad- cast various parts of the Teach-In. Along with SGC and UAC,- the Teach-In is being sponsored by the Office of Religious Affairs, Panhellenic Association and the Office of Counseling. Los Angeles Pickets Close SF Papers SAN FRANCISCO (A) - San Francisco's two major dailies, the afternoon Hearst Examiner and the morning Chronicle, were shut down yesterday in an apparently unprecedented echo of a strike 450 miles away on Hearst's Los Angeles Herald Examiner. The Herald Examiner has con- tinued to publish though struck ay the American Newspaper Guild Dec. 15. The San Francisco shutdown was brought about by 14 pickets from Los Angeles at the scattered plants of the San Francisco News- paper Printing Co., which prints both the Examiner and the Chronicle. Their editorial offices are in the same building. Meeting with management ex- ecutives F'iday night, Chronicle Executive Editor Scott Newhall said, "The Chronicle has not missed a day's publication for over a Century." The Los Angeles pickets said their marching here was infor- mational. But San Francisco workers refused to cross their line. The suit said Mrs. Hamer and her son entered an agreement in 1965 with John H. Jenkins and Raymond Brown to write a book and to arrange serial and movie right in connection with the book on Hamer's life. The suit said that book is near- ing publication. No Permission It said the authors, who are also listed as plaintiffs, were ne- gotiating for a movie or television series based on their book when Warner Brothers' "Bonnie and Clyde" was released without per- mission of the Hamer Family, Jen- kins or Brown and without com- pensation to them. The plaintiffs asked- $350,000 in damages on each of these al- leged counts: defamation of char- acter, invasion of economic in- terest, unjust enrichment by de- fendant, invasion of privacy, and unauthorized use of Hamer's name. According to the lawsuit, Hamer died in 1955 after a career of al- most 50 years in law enforcement during which his "extraordinary courage, dedication and skill as an officer brought him national fame and respect." It said Hamer joined the Texas Rangers in 1906 at the age of 22 and was involved in "countless violent encounters with criminals during his career." Killed 100 It said he killed more than 100 outlaws in the line of duty and was wounded more than 20 times. The suit is the second filed in Texas in connection with the movie. A previous action was filed by Mrs. Billie Jean Parker Moon and her husband, A. B. Moon of Mesquite, Tex., alleging the movie "blackened the memory" of Bon- nie Parker. That suit asked $1,025,000 dam- ages from Warner Brothers Inc., Interstate Theaters, Inc., and Warren Beatty, the director of the movie who also had the starring role as Clyde Barrow. Bonnie Parker and Barrow were killed by Texas Rangers and other police officers in the 1930's in an ambush set up at Arcadia, La. at the University Jan. 12-13. , The Promotions of James D. * * * Shortt, Jr. and Richard L.

DEPARTMENT DENIES LOSS: Proxmire Charges Biions Lost In Misuse of Defense Spending G ATION MON.-FRI. Jungle Book 7:00-9:45R ERD. -769-1300 Cari 8:20 Only FAR/ OFLAUGHS/ sneyPresents EBoo rECHNICOLORO _ By The Associated Press Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis), charged yesterday that improper use of government-owned ma- chinery by defense contractors is costing taxpayers billions of dol- lars. Proxmire said in a statement that the government "is losing hundreds of millions of dollars over the years-billions of dollars" through contractors' use of Pen- tagon-supplied equipment in com- mercial production. But the Pentagon quickly replied that its handling of this equip- ment actually is saving tax funds. And most of the companies quickly denied any wrongdoing. 1 i , Thomas H. Morris, assistant sec- retary of defense for installations and logistics, said "our program has produced significant savings" instead of losing money. "The public interest is not serv- ed when facts are not kept in nrn~ nrfYIolxP h nrtr promote fighting between foreign countries. Pentagon officials contended Friday that the sales help offset the cost of maintaining American bases abroad and result in impor- tant balance of payments benefits to the United States. Jackson County To Supply Dogs for Medical Research By JAMES JENSEN A portion of the 5,000 dogs needed yearly for medical research; at the University will now be ob- tained from the Jackson County Animal Shelter. Last November, Robert Watkins,; assistant to the director of the University's animal unit, was in-1 vited to present a plan to the Jackson County Board of Super- visors for the purchase of un- wanted dogs and cats. The plan involved payment of at least cost for the food and housing of the animals during the legally re- quired three day waiting period plus transportation to Ann Arbor. In the face of strong opposition from the American Anti-Vivisec- tion Society and other animal lovers, the board took no actin during its December meeting, since it had found that , the county's dog law enforcement or- dinance already allowed for the sale of impounded animals. The Jackson County dogs will fill a near critical need for the animals, a substantial part of the over 55,000 animals in the medical research menagerie. Each year some 2,500 dogs are used for short term experiments such as develop-, ing surgery techniques or in med- ical schol physiology classes. An- other 1,200 are used in long term studies as in organ transplants and the evaluation of new surigal procedures. The others are used in various other types of experi- ments, ranging from hereditary conditions in beagles to the affect of large amounts of aspirin on the stomach lining. Those concerned with the treat- ment the animals receive should not worry. 'Actually, the animals are better cared for at the Uni- versity -than many are as family pets," Watkins said. "We have four different diets for cats alone and our drug bill to keep the animals in good condition runs between $500 and $600 a month." The animal unit employs 26 people to provide full time care for the animals and there are five veterinarians to maintain the animal's health. Under an agreement with the Ann Arbor Humane Society the University obtains all of its ani- mals outside of Washtenaw County, generally from dog pounds in Detroit and surrounding coun- ties, in addition to profiteering dog vendors. From its new source of supply in Jackson County, the University will obtain approxi- mately 400 more dogs and cats a month. proper erp ctive, niV e Ja A Pentagon statement added In a related development, the that the principal objective is "to Defense Department announced promote the defensive strength of plans yesterday to continue selling our allies 'in a way consistent with military supplies abroad, this de- overall U.S. foreign policy ob- spite congressional criticism of jectives." misused defense spending such as Included in the goods being sold Proxmire's' ' are such highly sophisticated wea- The sales presently total over pons systems as F111 and F4 $1.5 billion a year.
