Protesters aggravate courts

Signs of increasing impati-
ence with student demonstra-
tors are beginning to appear
among the nation's courts, law-
makers, and school officials.
In Los Angeles Thursday, Su-
perior Court Judge Raymond
Choate sentenced three students
from California State College at
Los Angeles to 30 days in jail
for campus vandalism despite
pleas from their lawyers that
they would fail spring courses
and not graduate.
"If this is the case," Judge
Choate said, "then the punish-
ment more properly fits the
crime."
In Columbus, Ohio, Juvenile
Court Judge John Hill sen-
tenced two West High School
students Wednesday to seven
days detention during spring va-
cation as the result of a sit-in at
the school.
A Long Island judge, Edward
U. Green Jr., 39, said Thursday
he thinks he has the answer to
law-breaking campus demon-
strations: "I send them to jail
without making them crimi-
nals."
Judge Green, a Suffolk County
judge, sentenced 21 students
from the State University of

New York at Stony Brook to a
15-day jail term after reducing
their misdemeanor charges,
which carry criminal records,
to simple trespass, which do
not.
Judge Green said he sees no
comparison between campus
protesters and early Americans
who broke English law to found
the nation.r
He declared: "The American
heroes were persecuted, they
went to jail. If the kids want
to be martyrs, let them be ar-
rested and let them go to jail."
Another judge, in Cambridge,
Mass. meted out jail terms
Wednesday ranging from six
months to a year to four men
who invaded a Harvard Univer-
sity class March 11 and broke
up a lecture. A young woman
with them was fined $200.
California legislators have
filed about 70 bills in Sacramen-
to, most of them aimed at giv-
ing administrators greater au-
thority over students and facul-
ty members involved in demon-
strations and disorders.
Iowa state senators have in-
troduced a bill that would re-
quire summary dismissal of stu-
dents and faculty members in-

volved in disorders on state uni-
versity campuses - without 0,
hearing,
Four other Iowa senators,
reacting to this move by 32 of
the 61 senators, proposed Thu s-
day an amendment providing
that the university president or
his duly appointed representa-
tive "shall be empowered to
club the students until they di-
vulge their names."
The University of California
has issued substantial crack-
down instructions that include
provisions for the rare use of
expulsion, which is final, rather
than just dismissal, which al-
lows a student to return if he
merits re-admission.
Pennsylvania State Universi-
ty, however, announced Thurs-
day an experiment with labor
mediation, saying that Theodore
W. Kneel, noted New York City
mediator, will visit the school
April 2.
Four faculty members at the
University of Connecticut, scene
of several protests against cam-
pus job recruiting by defense in-
dustries and government agen-
cies, have been the object of
university discipline.

THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION is reportedly ready
to begin a nationwide crackdown on campus disorders.
Rep. RomanC. Pucinski of Illinois announced yesterday
that the current administration plans to enforce a statute
barring interstate travel to incite riots and a law withholding
federal aid to students taking part in violent disorders.
The plan drafted Tuesday at a meeting between Presi-
dent Nixon, Atty. Gen. John Mitchell and Robert Finch would
also "prosecute a group of radicals which is known to have
moved from campus to campus stirring students to violent
dissent."
The interstate travel law was used for the first time
Thursday when eight hippie and yippie leaders were indicted
on charges arising from the street disorders during the Demo-
cratic national convention last August.
STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY officials
were told yesterday not to hold their national convention
in Albuquerque, N.M.
, Both the city manager of Albuquerque and the president
'of the University of New Mexico officially rejected SDS plans
for the convention when they cancelled contracts for the use
of convention' halls in the city and on the campus.
In Austin, Texas, meanwhile, law students filed a court
suit to block the University of Texas' earlier decision to pre-
vent SDS from holding its convention on the Texas campus.

KENNETH KEATING, former New York senator, will
become U.S. ambassador to India.
Keating, who will reportedly assume the p os t in two
months, will replace Chester Bowles, who has held the post
for the last six years.
Keating was also being considered for ambassador to Is-
rael, but the State Department decided the tense Middle East
situation required a career diplomat.

GEN. FRANCISCO FRANCO yesterday signed a de-
cree lifting Spain's state of emergency.
The decree, which will take effect next Tuesday, ends
the rights of the police to arrest persons without warrants,
to exile suspected subversives and to forcefully suppress all
dissent.
The announcement ends early the martial measures
which began on January 24 and were to last 90 days.
ARMY PHYSICIANS yesterday expressed grave con-
cern over former president Dwight P. Eisenhower's con-
dition.
The doctors at Walter Reed Army hospital were concern-
ed because of the occurence of a congestive heart failure suf-
fered by the general last Saturday but not reported until yes-
terday.
Congestive heart failure is a condition in w h I c h the
chambers of the heart do not empty completely.
The doctors said such a condition is particularly serious
in Eisenhower's case in view of the type of heart attacks the
general has suffered in the past.
