At this point, they added, he

Wildstrom said later last night
that he wished to see Harvey "to
protest harassment of Daily re-
porters by the sheriff's deputies."
On advice of counsel, Wildstrom
declined any further statement
other than that concerning possi-
ble court action in his own behalf.
After declaring his intention to
enter the building to the deputies,
witnesses said, one of them re-
plied: "You're the sane kid who

County Bldg. Tuesday to protest

Associated Press News Analysis
An " immense propaganda
campaign is in progress in the
Soviet Union, clearly aimed at
tightening Communist party
control and stamping out tend-
encies toward liberal thinking.
Reminiscent of the Stalin days,
it suggests the extent to which
the Kremlin was, shaken by
events in Czechoslovakia.
Youth is the main target in
a drive keyed to the 100th
birthday anniversary of Lenin,
Bolshevism's founder. It indi-
cates that Soviet leaders are
worried about their own people
as well as the Czechoslovaks.
This concern seems not to
center on any possibility of a
convulsive movement for liber-
alization in the Prague style,
but rather about a prospect of
slow but steady erosion threat-
ening the."Socialist" system.
Since Lenin was born in April
1870 the anniversary is 20
months away. But the cam-
paign has been going on since
early this year. It increased in
tempo as Russian and Soviet
bloc troops prepared to occupy
Czechoslovakia.
Last m o n t h the Soviet
party, in a decree on obser-
vation of the Lenin anniver-
sary, de m a n d e d a total
propaganda-education drive to
strengthen party authority and
crack down on "anti-Socialist"
elements.
A few days ago Pravda car-
ried a long article warning that
dark forces allied with revision-
ists were stepping up ideologi-
cal warfare against "Socialist
achievements," attempting to
subvert the system from with-
in. Pravda said these forces
included "reactionaries of all
types, Fascists, right Socialists,
nationalists, chauvinists and
Zionists." The reference to
Zionists fitted in with Soviet
press attacks on Czechoslovak
figures with Jewish back-
grounds.
The "dark forces," said the
Communist party paper, try to
represent developments in So-
viet literature, art and econom-
ic reform as "divergence, pro-
test and discontent," in at-
tempts to sow mistrust of the
Soviet party and weaken inter-
nal durability.
, Obviously, this will be a sps-
tained campaign. In the back-
ground are such things as con-
cern over a rising tide of crime
and corruption in the Soviet
Union, an ideological drive in
the schools to implant unques-
tioning loyalty to the system.
warnings to writers to, toe the
mark and warning that nation-
alism will not be tolerated in
non-Russian Soviet republics.
Pravda harked back to the
April meeting of the party's
Central Committee which dis-
cussed "present problems of the
international situation and the
struggle of the Communist par-
ty of the Soviet Union for the
solidarity of the world Com-
munist movement." Actually,
much of that plenum proved to
be about internal Soviet prob-
lems.
In advance of the meeting,
Leonid I. Brezhnev. the party
chief, told the Moscow party
organization of a sharpened
ideological struggle. He said
that "no political indifference
or passiveness nor any neutral-
ity in relation to aims pursued
by the enemy" would be coun-
tenanced.
"Bourgeois ideologists," said
Brezhnev, "still hope somehow
to influence the world outlook
of particular groups of Soviet
people and to blunt their class
awareness . . . Sometimes they
catch in their net persons avid
for self-publicity, those willing
to make themselves known as
loudly as possible . . . The rene-
gades cannot expect to go un-
punished."
That seemed aimed at writ-
ers.who had been seeking more
freedom of expression. Some
writers have been imprisoned
or placed on the proscribed
list.
The Soviet press for several
months has been warning
against what it calls "a dirty
wave of anti-communism,"
spearheaded by such agencies as
the Voice of America and the
British Broadcasting Corp. The
newspaper Trud said cultural
and trade relations "have be-
come the most widespread
channels for dispatch of anti-
Soviet books, brochures, pam-
phlets, records, tapes and even
films."
The warnings are blunt, tes-
tifying to the state of Kremlin
nerves, and the threat is clear:
where necessary, Stalinist
methods will be revived.

Barred by their national organ-
izations from signing the resolu-
tion were: Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha
Epsilon Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta,
Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa GaMi-
ma and Zeta Tau Alpha.
Alpha Delta Phi, Kappa Alpha
Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and
Zeta Tau Alpha were among the
six houses who voted against the
resolution when it was proposed
last January.
However, some members at last
night's President's Council meet-
ing questioned the motives of
houses who claimed to be ham-
strung by their nationals. "I'm
sure," said one girl, "that if it
camne to the choice between stand-
ing with Panhel and standing
with their national, they'd go with
the national. They avoid the main
issue of discrimination; they just
want to protect themselves."
Panhel president Ellen Heyboer,
'69, remained adament in her sup-
port of the resolution, saying, "We
should stand behind it on princi-
ple-regardless of who is knock-j
ing at our door."c
Janet Phlegar, '69, chairman of
the Membership Committee, com-
menting on last January's initial
support of the resolution, added:
"We all voted on this. We all
wanted to see the changes made."
"I don't know how the rest of
you feel," Margie Widner, '69,
president of Collegiate Sorosis,
said, "but I'm very disappointed."
Handcuffs were then clamped
on Wildstrom and he was led
away to the County Jail, where he
was booked on the assault charges
and held for 90 minutes before
being released on bond.
After his release from the jail,
Wildstrom was treated for bruises
and abrasions at University Hos-
pital.
Wildstrom, a senior, has workedj
for The Daily for three years. For
the past two summers, he has
been an employe of the Associated
Press in Detroit, where he worked
as a general assignment reporter.
During his first summer with the
AP, he helped cover the Detroit
riots.
