His analyses of the courtroom situation will continue to be published in' The Daily until the completion of the trial. By JOSEPH SAX Special to The Daily BOSTON-Courtroom Number 3 in Boston's Federal Bldg. was again filled to capacity, yesterday as the Spock trial entered its second day. The government began its case and the jury had its first chance to see the chief attorney for the prosecution in action. It is at first surprising that such a landmark case should have been put into the hands of a young lawyer barely 30 and only a few years out of law school, but any doubts about the government's judgment were soon dispelled. Asst. U.S. Attorney John Wall is obviously going to perform very effectively, indeed. It soon became clear yesterday that Wall's youth is a benefit to the prosecution, for the defendants' case must ultimately rest on the claim that the Boston Five-Spock, Coffin, Raskin. Goodman and Ferber-speak for the concerned young people of this country. Yet, they are being prosecuted by a young man, himself of draft age, who is clearly intelligent, highly educated and well-informed. Score one for the prosecution. Wall is much more than a cardboard figure, however. He is plainly a very shrewd fellow. Avoiding the pose of the zealous or vindictive prosecutor, he is exemplifying fairness and open- ness. In his initial statement to the jury, Wall read not only the ominous accusations contained in the indictment, but with equal emphasis and feeling, he read from the defendants' pam- phlets and statements. Ironic as it may have seemed to hear Thoreau on the Mexican War or reports of the plight of Viet- nanese civilians coming from the government's spokesman, there it was. Whether by design or inadvertance, Wall scored again. By + pre-empting the defendants on their own ground, he not only withdrew some of the emotive content of their protest by enter- ing it in the record matter-of-factly, but he also indicated he Candidars air vieWS at highschol forum te prosecution was not going to characterize them as traitors or smear them as unpatriotic. In light of the defendants' stature, and respect- ability, this is undoubtedly the most effective tactical position for the government to take. As the day wore on, one could -begin to see the affirmative direction the prosecution was going to take. Well-intentioned and sincere though the protesters may be, they have stepped beyond protest to action, from changing the law to undermining it. Wall again and again emphasized comments made by the defendants like "'If Congress will not control the president, we must do it ourselves.' " In half a day the prosecution sketched a picture of defiance of law, commitment to disruptive action and grandiose plans to build a resistance movement. By mid-afternoon the government had its first witness on the stand, FBI agent Lawrence Miller, who had attended a press conference held by several of the defendants in October of last year. Miller, who looks like he icame out of an FBI television program, had carefully picked up all the anti-war literature he could find and had assiduously made notes on the defendants' speeches. Apparently, he did what the prosecution wanted him to do. He re-affirmed. that the defendants were strongly disposed against the war, and intended to do something about it. Cross- examination had just begun when 85-year-old Judge Francis Ford promptly adjourned the court. Today, more of the defendants' 13 lawyers will take their turn at cross-examining special agent Miller, and then the prose- cution is going to show us movies. Imagine that. Draft may take ,'grad students Dean Groesbeek foresees teaching fellow shortage- By DAVID MANN The graduate school faces a possible loss in enrollment of up to 600 students next fall as a re- sult of changes in draft status, ByroA L. Groesbeck, assistant dean of the graduate school, said yes- terday. While the number of applica- tions and acceptances is about the same as last year, it is still too early to accurately project the number of students who will ac- tually enroll, Groesbeck said. Estimating the number of stu- dents who will be taken by the draft, Groesbeck expects a drop in enrollment of between 500 and Out-of- state fees may, iucrease $250 by fall se-mester: s I By ANN MUNSTER The eight candidates contending for three seats on Ann Arbor's Board of Education aired their views last night at "Candidates' Night," sponsored by Youth for Education And Schools (YES). YES is an independent group of high school students working to achieve two goals: the creation of public support for the publicI 1 school system and the passage of the millage proposal which will be on the June 10 school ballot. Joan C. Adams, one of two can- didates supported by the New Poli- tics Party, said that as a mother with no expertise in school ad- ministration, she was motivated 1 to run for school board because "there is a segment of this com- munity that is not being repre- sented, resulting in the school sys- tem's neglect of low income chil- dren. Mrs. Adams asserted that bias built into the operating procedure of the school system is a serious problem. She insists that Negro and low income children be more adequately counseled and tested. Mrs. Adams said she is con- vinced that "any child properly motivated and shown the im- portance of education can learn." Bill Ayers, the other candidate sponsored by the New Politics Party, was inspired to run because "schools are failing right here in Ann Arbor."I He said there is "strong class bias reflected in the background of the students, and it is the stu- dents on the general curriculum, not the college-bound students, who drop out of school." Incumbent Harold J. Lockett, a child psychiatrist, said, "We are experiencing a major cultural rev- olution. It is within the jurisdic- tion of the educational system l to begin the alteration of that Haiti claim victor over, PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti UP - The government of President Francois Duvalier claimed last night it had smashed a rebel in- vasion force in a fierce 20-minute battle near the Cap Haitian air- port on the north coast. Government sources said 10 of 35 invaders were killed yesterday and the survivors fled into nearby hills ahead o fpursuing govern- ment troops. ' T h e government announced plans to fly two captured B25 bombers to Port au Prince today. The planes were said to have landed the invasion party at Cap Haitian Monday following a bombing attack on the capital in' which one person was reported' system that must avert the de- -struction which may result from this revolution." Candidate Duane Renkencon- tended that "students are grossly effected by teachers and staff and not by the facilities." The way to get the best return for the tax- payers funds is to take these needs into account, he added. Candidate Cecil W. Warner said "what society doesn't handle the school system will be expected to. We will have to bring about posi- tive communication between the board and the public." 600 students. The graduate school's total enrollment this year was 8,614. Groesbeck termed the expected drop,"significant." The decrease may prevent sev- eral departments from supplying an adequate number of teaching fellows, Groesbeck said. 'INDIVIDUAL BOARDS' Hardest hit will probably be the chemistry, mathematics and physics departments, most of whose students are draft eligible men, ;ie added. "They are going to have to come up with the teaching fellows from somewhere, because the undergraduate classes and students are going to be here in the fall regardless of the grad- uate draft situation," Groesbeck noted. "The variance of the individual boards makes the whole situation extremely confused," said Groes- beck. Some boards are granting deferments for students in special areas of study, such as inner city work, some students get a post- ponement in their reclassification to finish work on degrees, while others don't, he explained. "In this situation, we are finding it most difficult to offer advice to our students," Groesbeck said. "The confusing factor is, just how many breaks will they give?" Groesbeck said. READMITTEDj The problem, however, goes be- yond the immediate fate of the graduate students applying for admission next fall. Groesbeck explained that when' a student has been admitted, or it has been determined that he is admissible to the graduate school, and subsequently is drafted, if upon completion of his military duty he reapplies for admission, he is almost automatically re- admitted. This implies the distinct possi- bility of having a much greater, than normal volume of applica- tions to the graduate school starting in 1971. fa d to f4 $ r n R a w ti ti p9 H s t i ti ti ti -Associated Press Defendant Benjamin S pock $100,000 PROGRAM: HRC to screen By MARCIA ABRAMSON The Ann Arbor Human Rela- tions Commission will hold open hearings Saturday to screen and recommend projects to City Coun- cil for funding under a special $100,000 "accelerated human re- lations program." This marks the first time the local HRC had been connected with the actual distribution of significant funds. City Council voted Monday to hear HRC recommendations re- versing an earlier decision which denied the Commission's request for authority to screen projects. More than 20 projects have been suggested by various groups and individuals. The original decision was ap- parently reversed after continued debate in council on project prior- ities and costs proved futile. Council had planned to make the decisions alone. APPROPRIATE BODY First Ward Councilman Dou- glas Crary said that the "break- down of debate" in council showed "how difficult it could be for us being involved in selecting pro- grams." He questioned whether council was the appropriate body to make these decisions. "This is a significant effort to try and provide some ways to do more about human relations in Ann Arbor," said Russell Fuller, HRC chairman. Among the suggested projects are two day camp programs, a civic center in the north central area, a tutorial project and an offer from the University to set up a recreation program using Universities facilties and directed by some of the coaches. City Council will meet again Monday and would like to approve specific projects, explained Ad- ministrative Assistant Donald J. Borut, who is also acting Human Relations Department Director. FIRST PROJECT Council approved a first project Sponsors of the various projects, which range in cost from $15,000 to $20,000, will speak before the HRC from 1-5 p.m. Saturday. The HRC also discussed the pos- sibility of providing financial aid for Washtenaw Community Col- lege students who lack the funds to commute to campus. Harry Finkelstein, the HRC's new emergency housing coordina- tor, discussed cooperative hous- ing as the solution for problems projectis in relocating families whose hous- ing has been condemned. s The HRC 'will hold a special public meeting June 6 to discuss problems created by the increased number of youths on the streets during the summer andalleged police brutality against them. Fuller also indicated the Com- mission will soon begin inter- viewing candidates for a replace- ment for former HRC director Robert L. Brown, who resigned in April.

Smith said these predictions epresented his personal assess- ment of the situation, and were Lot intended as an official state- ment by the administration or the Regents. Final determination of the ex- .ct amount of the tuition hike will come at a special meeting of he Regents about five days after he state higher education bill is passed on to the governor. The bill was returned to the House of Representatives by the Senate yesterday after the upper chamber refused to concur with the House version which listed the University for $2.3 million more han the Senate had approved. SALARY RANKINGS The Senate version of the bill would provide $61.3 million for he University, considerably less than the original request of $78.8 million. Smith said faculty salaries were the top priority item for the com- ng fiscal year because of the University's drop fron an A rank- ng to a B ranking in the Amer- can Association of University Professor's ratings. Even with the emphasis on sal- aries, however, Smith said the University would not be able to egain its A ranking. Smith also said the University's present quota's for out-of-state students would keep enrollment n line with a section of the' ap- propriations bill approved by both the House and Senate which would prohibit the University from increasing either the num- ber orM the per cent of out-of- state students. PA 240 The University is challenging the constitutionality of Public Act 24C of 1967, which has the effect of barring the University from increasing the percentage of out-of-state students, Smith said he did not expect the limitations set down in the appropriationbill to have much immediate effect on the Univer- sity., After faculty salaries, Smith listed, in order of priority, pay- ing of Social Security increases, items (like the expansion of the dental 'school) which are specif.- nist party, told the Na- ssembly in a debate on n of censure expected to vote tonight. presid'ent's position is ctly threatened, for his ins until 1972, but pas- the motion would oust Georges Pompidou and net, the executors of de policies.
