In an ensuing scuffle a police-
man's leg was broken.
No Angels
One Angel, 6-foot-6 Tiny Walter
of Oakland was clubbed to the
pavement. He and five other Hell's
Angels were arrested.
The notorious motorcycle club
announced later it would muster
members and other cycle clubs to
counter demonstrate against the
VDC.
Yesterday the Oakland chapter
called a hurried press conference.
Ralph (Sonny) Barger, Jr., presi-
dent, announced the Angels would
not show up for the march.
Instead, he said, they would,
"go to a bar and drink a few suds
(beers)."
Barger said the Angels decided
against countering the VDC "in
the interest of public safety and
protection of the good name of
Oakland."
'I Like War"
Walter and three other Angels,
bearded and with flowing locks of
hair, stood by as Barger explain-
ed his club's plans.
Barger said he had sent a tele-
gram to President Johnson volun-
teering the Angels for action in
Viet Nam.
"We feel that a crack group of
trained guerrillas would demoral-
ize the Viet Cong and.advance the
cause of freedom," Barger's tele-
gram said.
Barger wore an "I Like War"
button on his short-sleeved black
jacket, beneath a skull and cross
bones.

Strike Sanctioned
The machinists voted Wednes-
day to reject a McDonnell con-
tract proposal offering a nine-
cent hourly wage increase in each
of the next three years. The main
objection was to the fringe bene-
fit and working conditions areas
of the contract.
The International Association of
Machinists, AFL-CIO, sanctioned
the strike, unlike the four-day
wildcat walkout at the St. Louis
McDonnell facility last week.
Director William E. Simkin of
the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service called yesterday's
meeting in Washington, but his
assistant, Walter Maggiolo, sat in
when Simkin did not return in
time from a West Coast trip.
Hope for Settlement
Maggiolo said the White House
had expressed hope for a quick
settlement, as had the Defense
Department and other government
agencies. A government spokes-
man bargaining probably would
go on around the clock.
IAM Vice-President Eugene
Glover said he hoped for an early
settlement and said the union was
taking a new look at its demands.
It was reported that one early
area of discussion might be a dis-
pensation for Cape Kennedy ma-
chinists to continue work on Ge-
mini 6 and 7.
Gemini 7, already on the launch
pad, is scheduled for a 14-day
journey beginning Dec. 4 with as-
tronauts Frank Borman and James
A. Lovell, Jr. Gemini 6, in the
hangar, is to be launched Dec. 13j
with astronauts Walter M. Schir-
ra, Jr., and Thomas P. Stafford'
aboard. The spaceships are to ma-
neuver within a few feet of each
other and fly in formation.
A final systems test scheduled,
to start on Gemini 7 was put off
until today or tomorrow in the
hope of getting more technicians
on the job.
Overall impact on work at Cape
Kennedy was small, NASA re-
ported. McDonnell employes were1
required to enter the Cape Ken-I
nedy area through the south gatei
on the neighboring Merritt Is-,
land moonport. This permitted the
union to picket that gate, allow-
ing 3000 other workers with aero-
space firms to go through four,
other gates.
Bargaining
Dist. 9 of the IAM, which au-
thorized the strike, is bargaining
agent for 235 McDonnell employes
at the Cape, but only about 85 are
union members.
Union members wanted modifi-
cation of a no-strike clause, loos-
ening of a wage freeze to permit
'qualified employes to advance,
better distribution of overtime,
additional paid holidays, more ac-
curate job descriptions, and bet-
ter vacations, sick leave and other'
benefits.

American Casualties
Brig. Gen. Richard T. Knowles,
deputy commander of the division,

quarters in Pleiku Thursday night
that his information 18 hours aft-I

that we got a better view of the

Praise
In the field 35 miles south of
Pleiku the commander of the
American detachment, Lt. Col.
Robert A. McDade, 43, of New
York, declined to comment but he
praised his men telling a reporter
they "took on a large force and
did a great deal of damage."
"They all fought like pros,
whether they were draftees or reg-
ulars."

NEW DELHI, India-Pakistani
troops, supported by mortar fire,
launched three attacks Thursday
on Indian positions in Rajasthan
State in western India, the De-
fense Ministry said yesterday. It
claimed all the attacks were beat-
en off, with five Pakistanis killed.

VATICAN CITY-The leaders of
the Roman Catholic Church voted
final approval yesterday of a re-
ligious liberty declaration designed
to improve relations with all the
world's non-Catholics.
By a vote of 1,954 to 249, the
bishops of the Vatican Ecumenical
Council cleared the declaration
for piomulgation by Pope Paul VI
on Dec. 7. The declaration says
all men must have religious li-
berty and recognizes the right of
followers of non-Catholic faiths
to worship according to their con-
sciences.
LONDON - Communist China
may be building a missile-firing
submarine, the Institute of Stra-
tegic Studies says in its defense
survey for the year ending Oct.
31, 1965.
The institute, a private interna-
tional research center, said it had
received reports the submarine un-
der construction is a Soviet-type,
G-class vessel "conventionally
powered and able to fire three
missiles with a range of about
400 miles."

NEW YORK-The copper in-
dustry yesterday rescinded its
price increase.
The action followed a govern-
ment decision Wednesday to sell
200,000 tons of copper from ^ its
stockpile.
Two of the biggest producers,
Anaconda Co. and Phelps Dodge
Corp., rolled back boosts of two
cents a pound for copper, puttingj
the price back to 36 cents a
pound, effective Monday.
WASHINGTON - The Justice
Department filed with the Su-
preme Court yesterday a formal
statement asking that constitu-
tionality of the 1965 Voting Rights
Act be upheld.
The statement, in highly legal
form, was an answer to a South'
Carolina suit asking that the act
be declared unconstitutional and
urging that the attorney general
be enjoined from proceeding with
steps to enforce it.

WASHINGTON UP) - The U.S.'
Communist party was convictedE
last night for failure to registerc
with the government as an agent
of the Soviet Union.-
U.S. Dist. Judge William B.-
Jones imposed the maximum pen-t
alty-$230,000 in fines.-
Defense attorney Joseph Forer
had asked Jones to impose a'
nominal fine of $1 because, in hisC
words, "this is a test case" and
because of the prohibition against
excessive fines in the Eighth1
Amendment to the Constitution.
Jones did not even reply to theI
argument but meted out the max-:
imum $10,000 fine on each count.
A U.S. District Court jury of
eight women and four men re-
turned the verdict--guilty on all1
23 counts-after 21/2 hours of de-
liberation at the end of the third
week of the party's trial.
Party General Secretary Gus
Hall, who sat expressionless ex-
cept for a slight shrug of the
shoulders as the verdict was an-
nounced, said the party will ap-

Jones, who has presided over the
three-week trial, stressed to the
jurors that the government had
to prove that a volunteer, unafraid
of possible self-incrimination, was
available to the party to register
for it.
Tradition
Most of the trial's last day was
taken up by closing arguments by
attempting to obscure the real is-
sue.
The party leaders argued that if
they registered under the 1950 law,
known as the McCarran Act,
they would make themselves sub-
ject to prosecution under the
Smith Act, which makes it a crime
to belong, to an organization ad-
vocating the violent overthrow of
the government.
