Of Education~
Takes Stand
Against Plans To Stop
Public Worker Roles
With Labor Grdups I
LANSING (M)-The State Board
of Education yesterday took a;
stand against proposed changes inz
the Public Employment Relations
Act of 1965.
The proposals, awaiting consid-
eration by the House of Repre-
sentatives, would forbid public
employes to join or be affiliated
with a labor organization which
asserts the right to strike against
government.
The bill also would provide that
circuit court judges must enjoin,
actual or threatened public em-
ploye strikes. It would create a
public employe relations panel re-
sponsible for fact-finding if me-
diation of a public employe dispute
fails.
The board voted 6-0, with James,
O'Neil abstaining and Leroy Au-I
genstein absent, to adopt the res-
olution.
"In only a handful of cases (of GOVERNMENT POLICE CARRY an antiwar demonstrator from

Ousted From
GSA Police Evict
Viet Demonstrators
After All-Night Vigil
WASHINGTON () - Anti-war
demonstrators singing "We Will
Overcome" were carried by gov-
ernment police from inside the
Pentagon last night after a vigil
of more than 29 hours.
Prior to their eviction, the 18
young men and women listened to
a government security official
read to them regulations banning
"unwarranted 1 o i t e r i h g" and
"sleeping or assembly" in govern-
ment buildings.
The demonstrators apparently
had settled down for a second
night outside the offices .of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff where they
had squatted in varying numbers
since Tuesday afternoon.
It appeared that the government
officials decided to oust them after
most of the television and news
camera crew had left, believing
that another eventful night long
session was ahead.
N. Robert Karacher, chief of'
central protective force for Region
3 of the General Services Admin-
istration, told the demonstrators
that they were in violation of rules
and regulations governing the use
of public buildings and grounds.
GSA h a n d 1 e s housekeeping
chores and security in government'
buildings, including the Pentagon.
Among other things, Karacher
cited a ban on distributing leaflets
and handbills. The demonstrators
had given out thousands of these
to passersby in the Pentagon core
ridors. .
Karacher also read regulations
specifying that admittance to pub-
lic buildings after working hours
is restricted to individuals having
proper credentials.
The demonstrators crouched in
a circle linking arms, swaying side
to side, and began to sing softly.
They offered no resistance as
policemen carried them out -and '
deposited them outside the front
door.
The eviction came after part of
the group, equipped with a guitar,
flowers and food, had announced
an intention to start an indefinite
live-in at the Pentagon today.
The four women demonstrators
were carried out in stretchers,
presumably for decorum's sake.
Outside the Pentagon river en-
trance, the demonstrators huddle
on their haunches.
As the demonstrators were being
removed, the Defense Department
issued a statement saying it
"strongly supports the right ,of
peaceful and responsible dissent."
"Therefore, officials who are
responsible for safety and security
have been instructed to ask, all
visitors without passes to leave,
and to ensure prompt comnpliance
with this request."
Normally access to the Pentagon
is barred between 6 p.m. and 7
p.m. to anybody lacking a pass:
Asked why this action was not
taken Tuesday night, a Pentagon
spokesman said "the new element
today was their announced plan
for a 'live-in'."
A spokesman said the eviction
was approved by Deputy Secre-
tary' of Defense Cyrus R. Vance,
who was in charge in the absence
of Secretary Robert S. McNamara,
who was away for a NATO meet-
ing in Paris.
The demonstrators, protesting
against the war in Vietnam, said
they were members of the Com-
mittee for Nonviolent Action.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Prof. Law-

O'Neill said, "Too much confi-j

We must not let military power1

Rabi, a former head of the Gen-
eral Assembly Committee to the
Atomic Energy Commission, also
warned that the public was put-l
ting too much faith in a massivet
defense system.
"The coming of age of nuclear
power," Rabi warned, "means

sive amounts of plutonium from

Once a small country gets the po-
tential for atomic weapons, they 1

The Steering Commitee is the

By WALTER SHIAPIRO
Stuaghton Lynd, assistant pro-?
fessor of history at Yale Univer-
sity, has received a year's leave
of absence from New Haven to
work without pay for the Chicago
Organizing School, a recently
formed training center for com-
munity organizers.
Lynd, whose visit to Hanoi 16
months ago with former Daily
Editor Tom Hayden and Herbert
Aptheker catapulted him to the
forefront of the peace movement,
will also teach part-time at Chi-
cago's Roosevelt University. Lynd
will teach a first-semester grad-
uate seminar in his specialty,
radicalism in the colonial and
early national periods of American
history.
It is thought that the move will
reduce Lynd's already slight
chance of receiving Yale tenure
when his case is considered in the
spring of 1968. His 5-year contract
with Yale expires in 1969. Lynd
was told in the fall of 1966 by
the Yale history department chair-
man that his chances for tenure
were "miniscule."
Trains Organizers
The Chicago Organizing School
is designed to train people in or-
ganizing impoverished communi-
ties into centers of radical oppo-
sition to existing political and
community organizers school. But
it's going to be different from
schools like the Free University of
New York with which I was asso-
ciated. Here all the students will
be doing research in the city which
is tied to the needs of community
organizations.
"For example, they will be ex-
amining questions like 'Who are
the landlords?' or 'How does the
local selective service system
operate?' During the evening,
seminars will be held. I will teach
one on American radicalism.. I
will also teach a course on the
history of community organizers
in the United States. Of course,
once I get to Chicago other tasks
will develop."
Lynd stressed his own limited
role in Chicago. "The operation
will be run by the people; white
and Negro; who are doing the
community organizing in Chicago.
They will run the program. I will
merely be a resource person. I will
not take part in running the
School," he said.
In addition
he sighted the
to fear of dissent, to avoid World War III. Hardly
idea that the young anyone knows that 80 per cent ofi
the Soviet forces are still in Eur-
ope or European Russia."
In response to a question aboutl
the international consequences of
the U.S. accepting a defeat in
South Vietnam, Fox said, "The
~' >s fact that Indonesian generals
I chose not to join the coup that
t failed could be more evidence that
the Asians feel the U.S. will be
around for a long time."
