MADISON, Wisc.- The University
of Wisconsin has become the third
school to begin a community-wide rent
strike this month as students have or-
ganized the Madison Tenants' Un-
ion.
Wisconsin follows the lead of Uni-
versity students, who are beginning
their second year of striking, and
University of California students at
Berkeley, who have begun a rent strike
this fall.
Spokesmen for the Madison Ten-
ants' Union claimed "an extremely
tough fight will be on our hands" be-
cause "Wisconsin laws are the most
fantastic in the country with regards
to tenants' rights."
A spokesman said the state's laws
allows "immediate three-day" evic-
tion for the withholding of rent. The
Wisconsin Student Association is
supporting the independent union.
In Berkeley, the rent strike is tak-
ing over as the number one issue on
campus. An $821,000 damage suit has
been filed against one management
firm, and numberous apartment build-
ings have been damaged by f i r e
and breakage.
One duplex was almost completely
destroyed, and the landlord estimates
it will cost at least $6,000 to repair it.
Operators of a 32-unit apartment
only two blocks from the campus are
considering whether or not to reopen
this fall "because of the extensive
damage and the time necessary for re-
pair."
House painter Stanford Rose, who
pays $35 per month along with 17
other male tenants in a house near the
Berkley campus, is suing his land-
lords, the city, and city officials for
failing to correct housing code vio-
lations. Landlords in Ann Arbor and
Berkeley are making various attempts
to counter tenants' actions.
Some landlords are setting higher
damage deposits, and forcing leasees
to put their parents' names on the
leases, regardless of the students' age.
In addition, some are amending the
leases with "radical" clauses which ask
the leasee to waive his rights to strike,
to withhold rent, to certain sections
of state laws, or to jury trial if the
case was ever brought before court.

SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADERS appealed for a 60-day
moratorium on criticism of President Nixon's Vietnam policy.
Minority leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, and his assistant,
Robert P. Griffin of Michigan, said the President needs time and
public support in his effort to negotiate a settlement of the war. This
view was voiced by Nixon himself at his press conference last Friday.
However, it remained doubtful that growing Congressional criti-
cism of the President's policies would be stemmed by the appeal. Sen.
Edward Kennedy (.D-Mass.) rejected the GOP leaders' suggestion,!
saying policy critics have made constructive contributions to the Viet-
nam discussion.

ALEXANDER DUBCEK, ousted Czechoslovakian reform lead-
er, faces an uncertain political future.
Dubcek was stripped of his membership in the ruling Presidium
and his post as chairman of the Federal Assembly by the Czechoslo-
vakian Communist Party's Central Committee at their meeting last
week.
However, one party spokesman said yesterday that Dubcek could
regain his lost stature if he heeds the criticism t h a t was directed
against him prior to his ouster.
The Party's major criticism is that Dubcek followed policies which
left the Soviet Union with no other choice but to invade Czechoslo-
vakia in August, 1968.
CARL STOKES. mayor of Cleveland and first black mayor of
a major U.S. city, faces a difficult primary test today.
In the Democratic primary, Stokes is being challenged by Rob-
ert J, Kelley, a white candidate who has made law and order a theme
of his campaign.
Kelley charges Stokes with preventing policemen from taking ac-
tion during outbreaks by black militants. Stokes has ignored Kelley's
charges and is choosing to campaign on his administration's achiev-
ments in housing, unemployment, and pollution control.
SEN. EDWARD KENNEDY will conduct hearings on U.S.
draft laws.
In a speech before the Senate yesterday, Kennedy said the hear-
ings would be held by the Senate Subcommittee on Administrative
Practices and Procedures, which he heads.
Kennedy said the hearings would be confined to the administra-

WASHINGTON ( - T h e
Army yesterday dropped its
entire case against the Green
Berets accused of drugging
and killing a South Vietnam-
ese civilian who was an alleg-
ed double agent.
Army Secretary Stanley R. Re-
sor said it was impossible to try
the men fairly because the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency had re-
fused to provide any witnesses for
the October courts-martial.
The CIA is said to have been
closely involved in the affair.
Resor said he had been inform-
ed that the CIA refusal to pro-
I.A vide witnesses was made "in the
interest of national security."
"It is my judgement that un-
der these circumstances, the de-
fendants cannot receive a f a r
trial," he said. "Accordingly, I
have directed today that all
charges bs dismissed immediate-
ly."
"The men will be assigned to
duties outside of Vietnam." Resor
added.
The men who had been charged
with the murder include Co1.

mander of the Special Forces con-

by Resor is likely to set the stage
