hears
charges
SDS disruptions
to be considered
at Mar. 3 hearing
By LARRY LEMPERT
Central Student Judiciary'
(CSJ) last night" decided to
hold a pre-trial hearing to'
consider charges against Stu-
*nts for a Democratic Soci-'
ety in regard to recent actions
against a duPont Co. recruit-
er.f
The Engineering Placement
Committee and the Executive
Committee of the Engineering
Council registered a complaint
%ith CSJ yesterday, charging that
actions sponsored by SDS on Jan.
29 to disrupt campus recruiting
activities of the duPont Co. vio-
lated SOC rules concerning stu-
dent conduct.
CSJ scheduled the pre-trial hear-
for Mar. 3. The plaintiffs
gC1 ba responsible at that time
for. presenting evidence, against
SDS to support their complaint. If
sufficient evidence is shown, CSJ
will then set a trial date.
The complaint requests the CSJ
"assess such fine or establish
rch probationary conditions as
all be within the jurisdiction of
the Central Student Judiciary,
for the purpose of prevention of
similar violations in the future."
The maximum penalty CSJ
could impose would include a $250
fine and a four month suspen-
con of the recognition of SDS
as a student organization. Such
a suspension would involve with-
drawal of University office space
and all use of facilities for SDS.
The complaint states that on
Jan. 29, "in room 128E of t h e
West Engineering building, D r.
aeter S. Kay, a representative of
the duPont company had been as-
signed by the Engineering Place-
ment Service to intervie w inter-
ested students with regard to em-
ployment."
SGC regulations prohibit "in-
dividual or mass acts that destroy
sniversity property or significant-
ly interfere with the free move-
ment of persons or things, on the
campus," as well as "intentional
disruption of University functions
by depriving others of needed
quiet, light, heat or other physical
conditions of work."
r The complaint claims that SDS
actions "prevented students wish-
ing to participate in the regular
voluntary interview function with
a representative of duPont from'
being able to exercise their con-
stitutional rights of free speech
and freedom of assembly."
It further charges "that 'the ac-
ions of the defendant, both as a
group committing mass acts and
as individuals invited to commit
acts under the sponsorship of Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society,
significantly interf erred 'with the
free movement of persons on the!
campus."
The complaint seeks to establish
that the disruption was in fact
sponsored by SDS, citing adver-
tiqing by handbills bearing SDS
identification and an SDS adver-
tisement in The Daily, Jan. 28 in-
viting; campus participation "to:
ect against the duPont'recruiter."
rIn addition to scheduling thea
pre-trial hearing, CSJ ordered
that SDS make answer to the com-
plaint by Feb. 24.

Stink bomb'

chanting group
By W. E. SCHROCK "
Chanting "We are women, f
we are tough, fighting with
the NLF. Smash GE," 30 wo-!
men yesterday protested the
presence of five General Elec-
tric Recruiters in the W. En-
Egineering Bldg.r
The women left behind a "stink
bomb.",
According to a Students for
Democratic Society leaflet, the
women were protesting the pres-
ence of GE on campus because
"GE exploits labor all over the
world, and is an integral part of
the war machine."
Examples cited in a leaflet dis-
tributed soon after the "stench-
ing" included the fact that GE is
the "second largest defense con-
tractor in the U.S." and that h"20
per cent of GE's sales go to the! w.

defense files
for mistrial,
CHICAGO 04~ - Defense attorneys filed a motion yester-
day asking that jury deliberations be halted and a mistrial
declared for the Chicago 7 defendants.r
Attorneys William M. Kunstler and Leonard I. Weinglass
filed the motion with the trial court clerk and asked for im-
Imediate action. It was not known when a ruling by Judge
Julius J. Hoffman might come.
W einglass said the motion gave no reasons to support
a mistrial. "But," he told reporters, "it's obvious that the jury
is not able to reach a decision after four days of delibera-
tions."
The motion was filed after, the jury had deliberated more
than 40 hours.
Earlier, Kunstler said, "it would
be a miracle" if all the defendants'
were acquitted, but that he expect-
ed "compromises."
"Some of the defendants will be
convicted, others will be acquitted
or the jury will hang deadlock
on all of them," Kunstler told
newsmen after the Jury had been
out more than 35 hours.
The 'Jury of 10 women and two
men retired Saturday afternoon
to consider a verdict. The defend-
ants are charged with conspiring
to incite rioting at the time of
the 1968 Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago.!
In addition, each is charged with
a substantive count: two w i t h
teaching the making of incendiary
devices and five with actually
crossing state lines with i n t e n t
to incite rioting.
The jurors must consider t h e
testimony of 190 witnesses w h o
appeared during the trial which
lasted nearly f i v e months. They
also took with them to the jury
quarters about 300 exhibits.
While the jury was closeted on
the 23rd floor of the Federal Bldg.,
several hundred supporters of the
defendants marched around t h e
building.
Some carried signs reading "im-

mary injustice."

PETER BLOOD, a Quaker draft resister, was arrested yesterday
following a peace vigil held in the Ann Arbor Quaker Meeting
House.
Draft resister seized
during Quaker vigil
By CHRIS UHL
Yesterday at 5 p.m. ten plainclothes lawmen arrived at
the Ann Arbor Quaker Meeting House in three cars to arrest
Peter Blood.
Blood, a Quaker, was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury
because he refused to perform alternate service for the army.
His arraignment is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. today, but his
arrest was not expected to occur until after the arraignment.
Blood had publically announced that he would not attend
the arraignment. He informed authorities that he could be
located for arrest at the Quaker Meeting House.
Blood entered the meeting house on Monday night. About
35 people had come from as far as Boston, New York and Colo-

Judge Hoffman stayed their jail-
ing until May 4 to allow them to
carry out an appeal of the con-
tempt sentences for their clients
and themselves.
Before filing for a mistrial,
Kunstler had said yesterday he
was considering going before Hoff-
man with a request that the jury
be called to the courtroom for a
progress report.
"We would like to know if the
jury is deadlocked or if there is
a chance of their reaching a ver-
dict," he said.
If convicted on both the con-
spiracy and substantive counts,
each defendant could be sentenc-
ed to a maximum of 10 years in
prison and fined $20,000.
The seven defendants are:
David T. Dellinger, Rennard C.
Davis, Jerry C. Rubin, Abbie Hoff-
man, John R. Froines, Thomas E.
Had'n _ and L ee Weiner.
The crowd threw paint bombs
and broke windows in the court-
house and in a 10-block area of the
Seattle business district. Tear gas
grenades which police said were
thrown by demonstrators explod-
ed when part of the crowd rushed
the courthouse.
Riot-equipped polise used night-
sticks to disperse the crowd, esti-
mated by newsmen at 1,000.
The demonstration was organ-
ized by the Seattle Liberation
Front and the Young Socialist Al-
liance, protesting jail sentences
imposed on seven Chicago conspir-
acy defendants and their two at-
torneys for contempt of court.
Similar protest demonstrations

A police station bombing, second
in four days and latest in a 2%-

area, was also tentatively linked by
investigators yesterday with de-

Police reported "no headway" in
search for the perpetrators and
found no pattern in the wide-rang-
ing explosive assaults.
Yesterday morning across the
bay in Oakland a fused package
of 24 sticks of explosive was found
against the wall at a paint plant.
Police said the 'spot evidently was
chosen at random.
In Berkeley, incendiary bombs
exploded Monday night without
damage at two department stores
during a demonstration by youths
against contempt sentences in the
Chicago 7 case.
