POOR RECORD
"The unprecedented domestic
progress of the last eight years
has come about as a result of po-
licies a n d programs which Mr.
Nixon actively opposed when in
office.
"The American presidency is
the most important and most
powerful office in the world.
America cannot r i s k electing a
man who so sorely fails to meas-
ure up to its responsibilities."
The top representatives of the
major unions and officials of the
national labor organization com-
posing the board were stronger in
their criticism of third party can-
didate George C. Wallace.
'GALLING'
"His pretense to be the friend
of the worker is especially galling
to \the American labor movement.
The record of low wages, p o o r
working conditions, high crime
rates, high illiteracy rates, anti-
unionism, segregation and preju-
dice in Alabama testifies to the
falsity of that claim. Mr. Wallace
warrants the open contempt with
which we view his candidacy."

Clark hits
police
brutaliyt
WASHINGTON 0P) - A t t y.
Gen. Ramsey Clark, in apparent
criticism of the bloody battles be-
tween police and antiwar pro-
testers at the Democratic Na-
tional Convention, condemned po-
lice brutality yesterday as the
most dangerous type of violence.
Clark and FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover differed dramatically on
police handling of such disorders
as they testified at the start of
hearings before the President's
special commission on violence.
Hoover praised Chicago police
for preventing disruption of t h e
convention and said "vicious at-
tacking mobs" left police no
choice other than the use of
force.
LESS FORCE9
Clark, without naming Chicago,;
said police should be told to use
only minimum force necessary to
curb disturbances. He said police
should ease tension, not inflame
it.
"Of all violence, police violence
in excess of authority is the most-
dangerous," Clark said, "For who
will protect the public when the
police violate the law?"
Dr. Milton E. Eisenhower, chair-
man of the violence commission,
said, "It is perfectly apparentj
there was uncalled for action on3
both sides.
But the retired educator added,
"If a bag of urine were thrown
in my face, I think I would react."
Hoover said antiwar demonstra-
tors deliberately provoked policet
by hurling abuse and human re-
fuse at them. He said it was a
tribute to the police that paralysis
of the city was prevented without
loss of life.
The controversy over the Chi-i
cago clashes dominated the initialt
hearings of the commission creat-t
ed by President Johnson upon the
assassination of Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy last June.
The 13-member National Com-
mission on the Causes and Pre-
vention of Violence, opening its
hearings in the same buildingt
where the slain senator had his
offices, heard only a passing ref-
erence to assassinations in its ini-
tial session.
NEED GUN LAWS
Hoover endorsed licensing and
said tough gun controls are "im-
perative for the public's safety."
Clark said gun controls "will save
thousands of lives, eliminate tens
of thousands of serious crimes."
Clark told the presidential1
panel nearly half a million crimes
of violence were committeed int
the United States last year. Het
said most murders happened at1
home and warned, "The major
threat of violent crime is from i
family, neighbor or friend." 1
The FBI chief said the Demo-
cratic convention was the targetf
of deliberately disruptive tacticst
by demonstrators and told the
panel:t
"If it is true that some inno-
cent people were the victims of1
unnecessary roughness on thet
part of the police, it is also true
that the Chicago police and the t
National Guard were faced witht
vicious attacking mobs who gave
them no alternative but to use
force "



nenate passes
gun control law
WASHINGTON !A) - The Senate passed yesterday a bill
to ban interstate mail order sales of rifles and shotguns. It
rejected proposals for firearms registration and the licensing
of owners, introduced by Sen. Joseph Tydings, (D-Md.)
Johnson had strongly urged Congress to include such a
provision but both the Senate and House rejected this.
The measure extends to rifles and shotguns the ban on
interstate mail order sales provided for handguns in the
omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act passed by Con-
gress earlier in the year.
Senate approval of the bill marked a sharp reversal of
the position it took last May 5 on a crime bill amendment of-
fered by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, (D-Mass.). The Senate
bill not only outlaws mail order sales of all firearms but also
of ammunition for shotguns,e------ - ---

structive devices.
Registration and licensing were
strongly urged by President John-
son after the assassination of Sen.
Robert 'F. Kennedy (D-N. Y.), as
part of the firearms control legis-
lation he submitted to Congress.
The Senate did tack onto the
bill an amendment t h a t would
make a person using a gun in a
federal crime of vidlence liable tor
a maximum sentence of I i f e in
prison.
Tydings said registration and li-
censing would "disarm the crim-
inal without affecting gun owner-
ship, possession or use by law-
abiding citizens."'
Opponents, led by Sen. Roman
L. Hruska (R-Neb.), argued that
the measure would be ineffective
in preventing crime and would put
the federal government into local
police work on a scale unprece-
dented since the, days of prohi-
bition.
Hruska and others said while
criminals would not register their
weapons or take out licenses, law-
abiding citizens would be burdened
and harrassed. Enforcement could
create a police state, they con-
tended.
Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.)
floor manager of the bill, support-
ed Tydings' amendment, saying
"The great thing registration will
1 do is to let law enforcement offi-
cers know where the guns are."
Before the vote, Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Mike Mansfield said
he was going against majority
sentiment in his state of Montana
in supporting t he Tydings pro-
posal.
But he stated that every sena-
tor has to wear two hats: One of
supporting hlis own state's inter-
ests and another of supporting the
national interest. He said he was
opting for the latter.
Tydings had accepted an amend-
ment by Sen. Daniel B. Brewster,
r (D-Md.) specifically declaring,
"No tax or fee shall be collected
* in connection with the enforce-
ment of the system."

An American Embassy spokes-
man said the promise was con-
tained in an aide-memoire handed
to the Bonn Foreign Office.
A German spokesman said it
documented a State Department
warning issued Tuesday in Wash-
ington that any Soviet attempts to
use force again West Germany
would be met with "immediate al-
lied response."
Robert J. McCloskey issued the
statement but did not explain why
it came more than two month's
after Moscow's July 5 note to
Bonn saying the Soviet Union
could use force against West Ger-
many under articles 53 and 107
of the United Nations charter.

The party leaders, purged in
1954, included Vasile Luca, a
Moscow-trained trade union chief
who died in prison in 1960.
Men of the non-Communist
group were sentenced to death or
long prison terms in the Danube
Canal trial of 1952. This was a
hearing reported staged on orders
from the Kremlin after collapse
of Soviet-sponsored Danube Canal
project on the Black Sea coast.
Czechs protest
against purges
P R A G U E, Czechoslovakia -
Czechoslovakia has protested to

weeks ago as president of the
Communist-led National Front;
Dr. Cestnir Cisar, a former party
secretary; and Prof. Ota Sik, who
resigned as deputy premier under
Soviet pressure.
Czechoslovak leaders sought to
assure their people at home and
abroad that justice would prevail
despite the military occupation,
designed to strengthen and per-
petuate communism in this coun-
try.
Appeals to come home were di-
rected at Czechoslovaks waiting
in the West, torn between the
ideas of living under Russian oc-
cupation and starting life anew
in foreign lands.
In addition, leaders announced
plans to carry on with rehabilita-
tion of citizens unjustly punish-
ed under the Stalinist-type regime
of Antonin Novotny, who was
ousted as the Communist p a r t y
chief and the nation's president
by the present reform-minded
leadership.

Mild-East
mounftiirg
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (,)-
Amid ominous talk of new war in
the Middle East the Security
Council demanded yesterday that
Israel and the Arab nations rigor-
ously respect the council's cease-
fire order.
By a vote of 14 to 0, with 1
abstention, the council approved
a resolution urging once more that
Israel and the Arabs extend their
fullest cooperation to the peace
efforts of Gunnar Jarring, the
Swedish peace envoy of Secretary-
General U Thant.
Algeria was the lone abstainer.
The original cease-fire order
came in the wake of the Arab-
Israeli war of June 5-10, 1967.
Since then there have been re-
peated violations by both sides,
and the tempo of hostilities has
stepped up in recent weeks.
A rash of gunfights, ambushes,
and artillery duels marks the 15-
month-old cease-fire lines.
Jordanian and Israeli troops
exchange fire almost daily across
the Jordan River, one of the main
points of tension.
The dogged efforts of Jarring to
obtain a peaceful settlement are
now virtually ignored by the Arab
press. Arab governments 'appar-
ently have dismissed his mission
as a failure.
The- Arab nations seem to have
abandoned hope of regaining their
lost lands from Israel by political
means, and war talk once more
pervades the Middle East.
Aggressive speeches from Egyp-
tian leaders are ominously remi-
niscent of those which preceded
the six-day war .
Israeli authorities, too, speak of
a new round of hostilities.
If war comes "the Arabs will
learn once more that we are as
powerful as ever before," Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol declared this
week. His defense minister Moshe
Dayan, warned Israel to be pre-
pared and called for a very heavy
investment in arms.
The resolution worked out
among the 10 non-permanent
members of the 15-nation coun-
cil expressed grave concern at
the "deteriorating situation in the
Middle East."

Nixon stepped into California's
heated farm labor controversy
yesterday, saying workers shouldn't
cripple "an industry already in
trouble." He was loudly heckled
as he began to speak.
About 50 of a crowd of 5,500 at
a'rally, demonstrating in support
of an AFL-CIO drive to organize
farm workers, chanted "we want
justice" and clapped in unison.
Nixon ignored them.
Nixon made it clear he supports
