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 contract negotiations) was there protesters wait their turn in the mass eviction.

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- rence Henry O'Neill, director of Columbia University's Electronic Research Laboratories. and an advisor to the Department of De- fense on ballistic missile defense, said in a speech here to Colum- bia and Barnard alumni that "cur- rent dissent is an essential re- straint to the almost unbeliev- able powers nuclear weapons haye " given to us." O'Neill and two other Columbia professors, Nobel prize winner I. I. Rabi and William T. R. Fox, are traveling around the country speaking to alumni groups in or- der to maintain contact between the university and alumni and 4 raise funds for Columbia. The St. Louis. Council on World Affairs, a private organization, oined the alumni group in sponsoring the speakers. O'Neill said, "Too much confi-j dence in ballistic missile defense systems is unwise when we con- sider the extremely complex na- ture of their retaliatory powers.1 We must not let military power1 lead us to trample on rights of others, and our own basic demo-1 cratic rights-we must always be prepared to put aside our instru- ments of destruction." Attacks Public Apathy 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 every coun'try will produce mas- sive amounts of plutonium from which bombs can be easily made.

The Steering Committee, in turn, will report to the State Board, through which the plan will operate. The Steering Commitee is the only one which has made reports, but these have not as yet been made public. No official action is being taken so far because the Board wants to keep the prelim- anary plan as flexible as possible so that changes can be made as other work is completed.. A joint meeting will be held at the University on May 23 to bring together academic executives from the various state schools to meet with the Steering Committee in an attempt to determine the most feasible menas of instituting statea planning of higher education. Smith reported formation of the student committee will probably have to wait until full academic programs reconvene in the fall.

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."
