GEORGE C. WALLACE announced he will seek another term
as governor of Alabama.
The former governor said his candidacy will force President
Nixon to make some concessions on school integration.
To become governor, Wallace must defeat at least four other
candidates in the May 5 Democratic primary and any who may oppose
him in November.
Albert Brewer, the current governor, is expected to be Wallace's
strongest opponent. When Wallace was governor from 1963-1967, he
chose Brewer for lieutenant governor in the 1966 election when Lurleen
Wallace's wife was elected governor.
After Mrs. Wallace died in 1968, Brewer became governor.
Wallace, third-party presidential candidate in 1968, insists he is
running only for governor, but added there will be no future for
President Nixon if he does not give the schools back to the people.
"Political action offers the only hope for doing this," he added.

AN UNITED MINE WORKERS OFFICIAL was indicted in
the slaying of UMW leader Joseph Yablonski.
A federal grand jury indicted Silous Huddleston, a' Tennessee
official of the union, on charges of conspiracy.
Huddleston was accused of interfering with the rights of a union
member by force or violence, obstruction of justice and conspiring to
interfere with the rights of a union member by force or violence.
Huddleston's daughter Annette Lucy Gilly is already under in-
dictment in the Yablonski slaying. Her husband, Paul Eugene Gilly
of Cleveland, also is charged in connection with the same offense.
Yablonski, his wife and daughter were slain last December 31,
although their bodies were not discovered until January 5.
PRESIDENT NIXON won a victory in the fight over the HEW
appropriations bill.
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 15 to 7 to permit the
President to withhold two per cent of the funds in a new $19.4 billion
bill.
WASHINGTON (U) - Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird
said yesterday American airpower but no ground forces are
being used in Laos to protect the U.S. position -in Vietnam.
In testimony before the House Defense Appropriations
subcommittee, Laird stressed "There has been no b a s i c
change of U.S. policy in Laos over the past three years."
"The President has made clear that the use of American
airpower in Laos is to protect U.S. forces in Vietnam," Laird
told newsmen. "We have no military forces engaged in ground

George Wallace rides again
Third-party presidential candidate and former Alabama governor
George C. Wallace announces he will seek the Democratic nomina-
tion for the governorship of Alabama on May 5. Four other candi-
xdates willopshi
Last month the President vetoed an HEW bill because he con-
sidered it inflationary. HEW Secretary Robert Finch said the newT
bill passed by the House is inflationary and he would ask the Presi- R EMA IN IN JAIL:
dent to veto it again.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) promised an effort will be "
made to delete the two per cent withholding authority when the bill Jlt l e IeS tr i s
comes up for: debate, probably next Monday.
Even if the Senate accepts the withholding authority, it must1
still be accepted by the House. Earlier the House gave Nixon the with-
holding authority, but this was deleted when the bill reached the of B lack P an th ers
floor.
While making no flat denial that
U.S. airpower is being used to
support Laotian allies, both Laird
and Chairman George H. Mahon
(D-Tex.) tied the airpower use in
Laos directly to the U.S. effort in
Vietnam.
"The bombing in Laos by U.S.
planes has been calculated to make
our position more secure," Mahon
said. "Its purpose is to defeat
efforts by the enemy to bring ad-
ditional supplies into the South."
Laird called the use of airpow-
er against North Vietnam's major
supply route, the Ho Chi Minh
Trail through Laos, vital to the
U.S. effort in Vietnam.
Bombing of enemy supplies on
the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos
by agreement with the Laotian
government began in 1964 under
former President Lyndon B. John-
son's administration.
Laird told Mahon's subcommit-
tee that North Vietnam has step-
ped up movement of massive sup-
plies into South Vietnam for what
U.S. military officials expect to
be hard but scattered enemy "tar-
get of opportunity" assaults in the
South.
Laird and Mahon talked to
newsmen briefly after Laird's ap-
pearance before a closed session of
the appropriations subcommittee.
Mahon told newsmen his sub-
committee also will study alleged
atrocities in Vietnam, including
some reported in the past several
days, but he said too much has
been made of the allegations.
"The subject of atrocities h a s
been overdone," Mahon said.
At the State Department, press
officer Carl Bartch told n e w s-
men the department considers U.S.
actions in Laos are in line with the
national commitments resolution
approved by the Senate last year
and a restriction written into the
defense appropriations act.

WASHINGTON (IP) - With an
angry attack against the Ameri-
can r o1e in Laos, a bipartisan
group of senators has demanded
the administration disclose how
heavily the United States is in-
volved in the war-torn Asian na-
tion.
"The facts of our involvement
have been concealed from the
American people," Te nnessee
Democrat Albert Gore declared
during floor debate Wednesday.
The charge was also supported
by Sen. Charles H. Percy (R-Ill.)
A n o t h e r Republican, Sen.
Charles Mathias Jr. of Maryland;
said "Laos has become an arena
for the repetition of the mistakes
of our' Vietnamese involvement.
"I believe that the American
people - and the Congress - will
not ultimately accept a withdraw-
al policy from Vietnam that en-
tails merely a changing of uni-
forms and titles and re-engage-
ment in Laos."
The Maryland senator pointed
to "news reports from usually re-
liable publications" indicating
hundreds of former Green Berets
military advisers "swarming over
the country in numbers propor-
tionately larger than the Kennedy
administration commitment of
advisers" in Vietnam.
T h e debate, conducted before
only a handful of senators, came
against a backdrop of a strong
North Vietnamese force that has
moved quickly and wtih great suc-
cess against t h e Royal Laotian
army in spite of heavy bombings
by U.S. B52s.

The bill is expected to have little trouble in the House. Besides
Democrats who favor its principles, others have indicated they are
willing to give the administration an opportunity to try out the bill
although it may create budgetary problems.
The President's proposal calls for a subsistence income of $1660
for both those who are working and the jobless poor.

Lawyers for the Panthers spent"

to challenge Murtagh's edict on1
constitutional grounds. Article Six
of the Bill of Rights says, "In all
criminal cases, the accused shall1
enjoy the right to a speedy and

"They have a right to a speedyz

yer Edward Bennett Williams. "To
get it, all they have to do is be-I

Courtroom disruption in theI
Panther 13 case paralleled to a1
marked degree the disturbances
William Milliken has been chal-
lenged to "stand up against the
polluters" by backing what one
Democratic senator calls "the,
boldest, most significant attack on
pollution anywhere in the nation."
The "attack" cited by Sen. San-
der Levin of Berkley involves a
legislative proposal that would
give any individual citizen the
right to take industrial or govern-
mental polluters to court.
Levin, an undeclared candidate
for his party's nomination to bat-
tle Milliken in the fall election,
made his comments at a public
hearing on the bill sponsored by
Rep. T. J. Anderson (D-South-
gate).
Levin and Sen. Gilbert Bursley
(R-Ann Arbor) ,introduced an
identical bill yesterday in the Sen-
ate, saying they hope to push the
question to the top of the Legis-
lature's priority list for the cur-
rent session
Milliken says industries and
government must stop pollution
through "increased dedication,"
Levin quoted. "But there is no
time for Sunday school lectures
anymore," the senator added.
"The threat of citizen lawsuits
will be more effective than any of
the governor's courteous pleas. We
must learn, and the courts must
be told, that you can't put a dollar
value on everything in this so-
ciety," Levin said.
"Michigan's precious lakes must
take precedence over profit and
loss sheets."
Levin accused the governor of
making proposals that "only pre-
tend to put citizens in the van-
guard against this desperate battle
against poison in our environ-
ment.
"The new bill has real guts,"
Levin declared. The time has
come, he added, "for governmenb
leaders to stop capitulating to any
part of society which is polluting
our environment."
The senator noted that several
organizations - including ENACT
from the University of Michigan,
the Michigan Jaycees, the United
Auto Workers union and several
conservation c u b s -- have an-
nounced their support of the An-
derson proposal.
At the same time, a group of
Detroit area legislators called for
a ban on virtuallyall "hard" pes-
ticides in agricultural fertilizers./
