Eugene McCarthy, to do the same. "I personally believe that each dele- gate to the convention should have the right to vote for the presidential nominee' of his choice," Humphrey told a Town Hall luncheon meeting. The unit rule, 'under sharp attack in some states by McCarthy backers, re- quires that all delegates in a giv.en state delegation vote for the candidate favored by the majority of the delegation. Humphrey sources figured the Vice President would lose no more than 30 votes if the unit rule were dropped. "To those who have been looking upon the unit rule as a one-edged sword which is.of benefit only to me," said Humhprey, "I might note that all 72 votes of the Massachusetts delegation are bound to Sen. McCarthy by law on the first ballot, in an eq'uivalent to the unit rule just as are all of the 35 delegates in Oregon. although he won only 44 per cent in that state primary." Whether Humphrey has any power ac- tually to release delegates from a unit rule is questionable. The rule usually is applied by the dele- gations' state conventions, to which the delegates are responsible. In other cases the delegates adopt it themselves. In the case of McCarthy's delegates 'from the Massachusetts and Oregon pri- maries, release would run afoul of state law. The Massachusetts law provides pen- alties for violators. Humphrey has three, solid delegations under the unit rule - Kansas with 38, Maryland with 49, and the Canal Zone with 5. There are reported to be eight or ten McCarthy backers in the Mary- land group. Oklahoma, whose 41-vote delegation al- ready shows 37 for Humphrey, may adopt the unit rule after it gets to the conven- tion. Missouri, with 60 votes, is effec- tively solid since McCarthy backers in the group are scarce and the delegation can adopt the unit system if it chooses. McCarthy has picked up no solid dele- gations by that means. Other delegations with, a unit rule in- clude Alaska with 22 votes uncommitted, Arkansas with 33 uncommitted but show- ing more Humphrey backers than McCar- thy supporters, Georgia with 43 uncom- mitted, Louisiana with 36 backing Gov. John McKeithen as a favorite son, South Carolina with 28 behind Gov. Robert E. McNair as a favorite son; Tennessee with 51 back of Gov. Buford Ellington but not rated sure to stay solid, and Texas with 104 backing Gov. John Connally. Humphrey, addressing the luncheon after a morning of campaigning in Watts, noted that the unit rule is decided by individual delegations. "Nevertheless," said Humphrey, "it is my personal view that the presidential nomination of the Democratic party this year must be won in a completely open convention." "Each delegate should be able to stand up and be counted as an individual cast- ing his vote for his preference." Thus, Humphrey added, "I am today informing each delegation bound to me under the unit rule that I personally am willing to abide by the outcome of the convention with each delegate being free to vote his preference." Humphrey expressed hope that Mc- Carthy would join "in this effort to ob-. tain a truly open convention by releasing all delegations bound to him." Humphrey, with a grin, said he wanted a chance at the Massachusetts and Ore- gon delegations bound to McCarthy. Humphrey has said that he believes he has enough delegates supporting him to win the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Earlier the Vice President sang and danced to a little soul music in Watts, and won the endorsement of a young man many Negroes regard as the No. 1 soul brother - singer James Brown. "He's my man," Brown said after the Vice President with a broad grin danced a middle-aged version of the boogaloo and joined Brown in a brief refrain of one of the singer's hits. The reception for Humphrey in a va- cant lot in Watts, where some 700 chil- dren had gathered to leave for a summer camp, was one of the warmest of his California trip.' But the star of the show was the slender young soul singer, Brown, who told a crowd estimated at 1,000: "Be- cause I am a black man I believe in tell- ing it like it is . . . I'm not going to sell you down the river anytim'e." MIAMI BEACH, Fla. OP)-Rich- ard M. Nixon's campaign manager claimed, yesterday that more than 700 Republican National Conven- tion delegates-more than enough to choose a presidential nominee- now are ready to vote for his candidate. John N. Mitchell said that strength is firm and guarantees that Nixon will be "the clear-cut winner" when the convention se- lects its nominee a week from tomorrow. The Mitchell claim came from a camp which had avoided making specific claims of delegate' strength-although Nixon polit- ical agents have been saying for weeks that they have more than enough votes for victory. It will take 667 delegate votes to choose the nominee. The Nixon delegate claim came as rival campaigner Nelson A. Rockefeller embarked on a final delegate hunting mission, declar- ing in Washington that he is op- timistic about his own chances of nomination. In Miami Beach, Nixon sup- porters argued that a public NO BEAR HUGS: Soviets, Czechs co nfer PRAGUE OP) - The Soviet Union's leaders came to a tiny village in Czechoslovakia yester- day and, dispensing with the usual bear hugs and kisses, con- fronted Prague's liberal chiefs in a rundown movie house in an at- tempt to stop this nation's reform drive.

And Mitchell said Nixon proved a winner even on "Gov. Rocke- feller's chosen ground, the polls.' "In the trial heats against Hu- bert Humphrey and Eugene Mc- Carthy, it is Nixon who has made the gains after all the issues have been explored before the Amer- ican people," Mitchell said. That jubilant reaction to the Gallup Poll, and the decision tc begin talking in terms of dele- gate counts, appeared to add u: to a drive on the part of Nixon's forces to, get a final bandwagor rolling even before the candidates arrive in Miami Beach. Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's di- rector of communications, read the Mitchell statement at a new conference and said the 700-vot claim did not include any dele- gates, from states now committe to favorite son candidates-Ohio Michigan, Maryland and Gov Ronald Reagan's California. Klein said it did include some delegations which are now lined up for nominal favorite sons 'who will step aside in favor of Nixon In that category he mentioned Sen. Hiram L. Fong of Hawaii In Pittsburgh, Rockefeller re- leased the results of a poll taken in eight key states in which, he said, he runs ahead of Vice Presi- dent Hubert Humphrey. He said the survey showed Nixon, winning only four of the eight. Rockefeller said the states sur- veyed by the Archbold Crosley pol were Maryland, Massachusetts Michigan, Pennsylvania, N e w York, Ohio, California and New Jersey. He said the poll showed Nixon losing the first four of these to Humphrey. . They have a total of 126 elec- toral votes. The Cresley poll was ordered by Rockefeller. He previously re- quested Ray Bliss, the GOP na- tional chairman, to take a na- tionwide poll which would give the party an estimate of its strength in November, specifically In the electoral college. The re- quest was refused, and Rokefel- len then had the Crosley organ- ization make the survey. Klein asknowledged that a few,' delegates have turned away from the Nixon camp, but'he said that was only a handful of Repub- licans, most of them southerners wooed away by Reagan. "There's been some slight ero- sion," he said, "not enough to make any major difference." "The fact is that Nixon will win the nomination," Mitchell said "There are in excess of 700 dele gates ready to vote for his nomr- ination." The Gallup Poll cited by the Nixon camp was published Mon- day by the Miami Herald. Gallup's office said it had been distributed for use in Wednesday morning newspapers. One Rockefeller booster, Gov John H. Chafee of Rhode Island remarker wryly that he'd just as soon not see the poll.

S E Ind band' a sessions at e! ..Park By JILL CRABTREE Ann Arbor City Council last night approved by a 7-1 vote a regulation which would prohibit use of high output electronic mu- sical instruments in public parks. In addition, the regulation states that the West Park band- shell may not be used for a pub- lic show or performance without l written permission from the Su- perintendant of Parks and Rec- reation, obtained one week in ad- vance. The regulation goes into ef- fect immediately. Impetus for the action came from complaints of "excess noise" at West P'ark during regular Sun- day rock band concerts there. City Administrator Guy C. Lar- com, who drew up the regulation, has contactedhUniversity offi- cials to see if they might be able to provide possible facilities for such Sunday concerts, and said he is also searching for possible al- ternative city or open-space sites for these activities. At a meeting two weeks ago Council requested that Larcom develop similar regulations con- cerning the noise level at such establishments as Hullabaloo, The Fifth Dimension, and the De- pot House. Larcom said in his written com- munication that his office is working with Dr. Ralph Rupp, head of the Audiology Division of the University Speech Clinic, and the City Department of Public Health to develop standards of noise level-for these clubs. The Depot House and The Fifth Dimension are not presently in operation. The Depot House and i The Hullabaloo are in the process of remodeling to improve their Ssoundproofing,- Councilman Leroy Cappaert (D- Fifth Ward), who voted against the regulation, said he felt it would "in effect prohibit" rock music concerts altogether and suggested that efforts to find al- ternative sites for these concerts 7 be made before the regulation is put in effect. RAPID CITY, S.D. (AM -- Sen. 4 George McGovern (D-SD), said yesterday he was saddened that his daughter had been arrested'on a marijuana charge but added that he expects "neither more nor less consideration than any other family." Teresa Jane McGovern, 19, and two other young persons were ar- raigned in Municipal Court here yesterday on a charge of posses- sion of narcotics. "I have full confidence in the courts and the legal process of South Dakota," McGovern said after the arraignment. "Each of the young people in- volved in this case is entitled to a fair and impartial consideration' without the pressure of political considerations from my office or from anyone else," he added. McGovern told a repoi "Terry's m6ther and I and brother and sisters believe she is not only a precious men of our family but that she the capacity to emerge from painful experience a stronger better member of society."

Ann Arbor police chief Walter Krasny and Lieutenant Eugene Staudenmaier left for Washing- ton, D.C. last night to deliver the controversial film "Flaming Crea- tures" to the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearings on Supreme Court Justice Abraham Fortas. The film was subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee Friday aft- ernoon, Krasny said. He said the committee did not specify what they were going to do with it, but said he assumes they want to see it. "Flaming Creatures" was con- fiscated last year at a Cinema Guild showing by Staudenmaler. Cinema Guild is a subsidiary board of Student Government Council. On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Su- preme Court handed down a de- cision in a case involving a show- ing of the film in a commercial New York theatre. Chief Justice Earl "Warren, i) the court's majority opinion, said the ruling was based on the ma- terial "being utterly without so- cial value." He contended the film "taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest." Fortas, Who has recently been under fire for his supposed laxity in obscenity rulings from cominit- tee chairman Sen. James 0. East- land (D-Miss), was the only Jus- tice who said he would support a reversal of the convictions. A judiciary committee staff member in Washington said yes- terday the committee is still not sure what is going to be, doneI with the film.1 "It hasn't been determined enmaier confiscated the film from a Cinema Guild showing on the grounds it was "obscene." He viewed the film for 15 minutes, then walked into the projection booth aftdr a vividly depicted rape scene and ordered the film stopped. Three Cinema Guild board members serving at the time of the showing, Mary Barkey, then chairman, Ellen Frank, and Elliot Barden and faculty supervisor Hu- bert Cohen were all arrested. They were charged with a high misdemeanor - showing or of- fering to show an obscene motion picture. After 11 months of controversy during which the charges were re- duced to misdemeanors, the trial was finally held December 11. It ended the following day when Mips Barkey pleaded guilty to the, reduced charges against her and was fined $235. Charges against the other three persons were dis- missed. Riot studies show black a ttitudes By STUART GANNES The President's Commission on Civil Disorders was estab- lished one year . ago Sunday following the Newark and De- troit riots which claimed 66 lives. The Commission ended its year of work with the publish- ing of some independently col- lected data - two studies of which were conducted by mem- bers of the University's Insti- tute for Social Research (ISR). Program Associate Nathan Caplan and Jeffery Paige, Grad. have refined the data they col- lected for the Commission on patterns of racial disorder and will publish a study of ghetto rioters in next month's Scien- tific American. In addition, Prof. Angus Campbell and Howard Schu- man have published a study en- Caplan and Paige label',the first idea as the "riff-raff theory - which holds that riot- ers are irresponsible deviants, peripheral to organized society" who are constantly frustrated until they eventually riot., The second category, labeled the "relative-deprivation the- ory" sees each rioter as resent- ful of wide scale improvement of the economy with few bene- fits being bestowed on blacks:" -the revolution of rising ex- pectations. Both of these theories attrib- ute the cause of riots to indi- viduals and suggest that the "antidote for rioting is to change the individual rioters," either mentally or physically. The third theory, (which Caplan and Paige support) views rioting as "the conse- about what type of person is prone to riot. The studies indicate the riot- ers are "not the poorest of the poor. They are not the hard- core unemployed. They are not the least educated. They are not unassimilated migrants or newcomers to the city, nor do they have a different set of values." Rather the white establish- ment hes created an environ- ment of revolution.' Furthermore, the black rioter can no longer passively accept. white abuse and degradation and the "traditional stereotype of non-achievement." Negroes have "developed a sense of black consciousness and a desire, for a way of life in which they can feel the same pride and sense of potency they now derive from being black." which has been committed by a small part of the black popu- lation is condoned by a large part - possibly a majority of the blacks" says Angus Camp- bell of ISR. While "separatism appeals to from 5 to 18 per cent of the black sample depending on the question, the rioters have a great deal of sympathy in the black community," he adds. The report indicates that a much larger percentage of Ne- groes expressed a desire for identification with African cul- ture. Approximately 42' per cent are in favor of having African languages taught in public schools while only 20 per cent are in favor of having stores in black neighborhoods run by Negroes.
