ATTORNEYS FOR BLACK PANTHER BOBBY SEALE told a
federal appeals court yesterday that a contempt sentence imposed
on Seale during the Chicago 7 trial two years ago should be
reversed under a 1971 Supreme Court decision.
Anthony Amsterdam, Stanford law professor cited the January
1971 ruling of Mayberry vs. Pennsylvania in which the Supreme Court
said that a judge who becomes personally involved with a defendant!
should not rule on contempt citations.
Amsterdam argued that Seale disrupted the trial only to protect
his fundamental rights to a counsel of his choice, which he said
Hoffman ignored.
A PERSON TO PERSON QUEST for six alternate jurors began
yesterday at the federal conspiracy trial of the Rev. Phillip Ber-}
rigan and six other antiwar activists.
Selection of the six will be made from a group of 16 prospects
who are being 'screened by both the defense and the government.
Lawyers may dismiss prospects without any cause being advanced.
The trial for Berrigan and his codefendants, who are accused
of plotting to kidnap presidential aide, Henry Kissinger, to blow up,
heating tunnels in Washington, D.C., and to raid draft centers, began'
January 24.

A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH a joint Senate-House investi-
gation of the Vietnam war was introduced in Congress yesterday by
Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kans).
The measure calls for a study of the actions of each admin-
istration since 1945, the foreign policy assumptions involved, and a
final report two months before election day.
"Our questions must go to such matters as the murders of Ngo
Dinh Diem, and his brother, and how this period set us irrevocably
on the road to the tragic loss, dimunition, or disruption of so many
lives, both American and Vietnamese," said Dole, who is chairman;
of the Republican National Committee.

Nixon talks on
foreign policy
notesgn progress'
' WASHINGTON (A - President Nixon yesterday claimed
striking progress had been made in the search for world
peace while admitting that his diplomatic breakthroughs
were tempered by several setbacks.
In his 94,000-word State of the World message to Con
gress, 'he solicited election-year public support for his peace
initiatives by pointing to the arranging of his Peking and
Moscow summit meetings and the rebuilding of allied alli-
ances in Europe and Japan.
In addition, Nixon indicated a major break in the arms
race when he announced a U.S.-Soviet accord is develop-
ing on the outline of a historic agreement that would curb
the nuclear-arms race for the first time.
In his report Nixon said, "For -
too long, American policy consist-
ed of reacting to events . . . To-
day the United States is once n il
again acting with assurance and
purpose on the world stage.
Although the report was largely seeks price
optimistic in tone, it also cited
"several sharp disappointments,"hikeoogo

A RUSSIAN SCIENTIST has revived microscopic organisms
that had lain dormant for 250 million years in a piece of potas-
sium ore, a Soviet magazine reported yesterday.
The 'news agency Tass said the experiment proves "the ability
of organisms to remain in a state of anobiosis, or deep lethargy, and,
under certain conditions, to return to active life."
Geochemist N. Chudinov found that flakes he had taken from
the ore sample came to life in a drop of distilled water solution. The
revived organisms grew in test tubes and then reproduced normally1
just as if they had not been in a state of suspension.
raised by $20 billion
WASHINGTON RP) - The House yesterday approved a $20-
billion four-month raise in the national debt ceiling, sharply trim-
ming President Nixon's request of $50 billion.
The 248 to 147 vote was accompanied by warnings that the ad-
ministration will have trouble getting the additional borrowing au-
thority it will need in June unless Nixon proposes revenue-raising
tax reforms in the meantime.
The bill now goes to the Senate, which is expected to act before
the mounting debt pierces the present $430-billion ceiling in early
March.
If that were allowed to happen, Ways and Means 'Committee
The failure to prevent an
India-Pakistan war, the inability
to score a breakthrough in the
Middle East, and the expulsion of
Nationalist China from the Unit-
ed Nations were also listed by
Nixon as disappointments in the
year 1971.
The Third Annual Foreign Pol-
icy Report stressed that Nixon
is seeking a solution in Vietnam,
but made no mention of his Viet-
nam critics. He did however, con-
front them in his accompanying
radio address.
In a statement which appeared
to be aimed at Democratic presi-
dential candidates Edmund Mus-
kie and George McGovern, he
added, "A candidate should make
any criticism he believes would
contribute to bringing an honor-
able peace. But I would hope that
anyone seeking the presidency
would examine his statements
carefully to be sure that nothing
he says might give the enemy an
incentive to prolong the war un-
til after the election."

W AXIINU1'VV V) -, (e 94x-
on administration moved through
the final stages yesterday of
readying its dollar devaluation
bill for Congress along with a re-
port on key trade negotiations.
The bill seeks permission to
raise the official price of gold
from its present $35 an ounce to
$38 an ounce, representing an
8.57 per cent devaluation against
gold. The actual depreciation in
foreign exchange markets would
be 7.89 per cent.
The legislation carries out a
pledge by President Nixon to seek
a dollar-devaluing increase in the
price of gold as part of a }deal
which led to the international
monetary agreement reached last
December at the Smithsonian In-
stitute.
The bill has been held up by
the Treasury Department pending
administration trade concessions
with the, European Common Mar-
ket, Japan, and Canada.
The request to raise the 'gold
price has always hinged on assur-
ances from trading partners that
some trade barriers to American
exports would be lifted, Treasury
officials said.
Congress is expected to give
the gold bill its attention quickly,
with the chance of passage ap-
pearing to le good.

Aircraft carrier build-up
fortifies, Gulf of Tonkin
I
1972
MICH IGAN ENSIAN
SAIGON (P) - The United
States built up its task force of
aircraft carriers in the Gulf of
Tonkin yesterday for possible re-
taliatory strikes against North
Vietnam in the event of a Com-
munist offensive.
Communist attacks rose to
about 50 in two days across
South Vietnam, thereby increas-
ing speculation that the offen-
sive might be near at hand.
The carrier Constellation cut
short a port leave in Hong Kong
and steamed to Yankee Station
off the Vietnamese coast to join
the carriers Hancock and Coral
Sea.
Reports from San Diego,
Calif. that the carrier Kitty
Hawk canceled all leaves Tues-
day indictaed tht a fourth car-
rier might be, on its way soon.
Each carrier adds 50 attack
planes to the U.S. air arsenal in
Indochina. Even if they are not
used over the North, they would
fly in support of allied ground
troops and raid the Hi Chi Minh
trail in Laos.
In addition, it was revealed
last night that the United States
is moving to reinforce its B52
bomber force in the Western
Pacific. A squadron of 15 jet
bombers and supporting tanker
planes have been ordered to the
Western Pacific to protect the
remaining U.S. troops in the
event of a Communist offensive.
