Former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell yesterday testified
*under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he
was not involved in the Justice Department's sudden out-of-
court settlement of three anti-trust suits against the Inter-
national Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (ITT).
Mitchell said he had disqualified himself froin taking
part in the anti-trust action because his former law firm had
advised an ITT subsidiary.
He added, however, that he did meet with Harold Ge-
neen, ITT president and chairman of the board, in Aug., 1970.
At this meeting, Mitchell told the committee, he merely
discussed Geneen's arguments that the Nixon administra-

foreign-aid funds may be cut off
at midnight tonight in a congres-
sional dispute with the .administra-
tion over documents on Cambodia,
Rep. William Moorhead (D-Pa. )
said yesterday.
Moorhead, chairman of the House
foreign operations and government
information subcommittee, told the
House a routine staff request for
usually classified documents on
Cambodi? was surprisingly reject-
ed by Agency f9r International De-
velopment (AID) officials in Janu-
ary.
Later talks with AID officials,
Moorhead said, "revealed that the
documents being sought by the
subcommittee were being withheld
'on instructions of 'a higher au-
thority.' " It was subsequently
made clear, he said, "that the or-
ders to withhold camne from the
White .House."
Moorhead said he wrote Secre-
tary of State William Rogers about
the matter Feb. 9 and invoked a
part of the Foreign Assistance Act
of 1961, as amended. It provides
for a cut-off of funds after a 35-
day period unless the requested
document is delivered or a certifi-
cation is made by the President'
setting forth his reason for not
;making it available."
That period, he said, expires
today. An aide said the worldwide
amount of foreign aid involved is
$2.7 billion.
At the State Department,ean
AID spokesman had no comment..
Moorhead said he hopes Presi-
'dent Nixon "will recognize the
right of Congress to have the in-
formation necessary to participate
in the processes of I oenet
but I am worried that he will not."
The foreign aid bill in question
was defeated when it first came
to the Senate floor last fall, and
vas only approved after lengthy
deliberation and compromise.
Several members of Congress,
particularly Sen. J. William Ful-
bright, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, have
criticized the President for with-1
holding information from ; ongres-
kional committees. Specifically,
Nixon has been criticized for his
policy of not forcing his advisor,
Henry Kissinger, to testify before,
Fulbright's committee.
tion's prosecution of anti-
trust cases against the ITT
conglomerate had been too
vigorous.
"I assented to the meeting on
the express condition that the
pending litigation would not be
discussed," Mitchell said. "Mr.
Geneen agreed to this condition."
He denied any knowledge of an
alleged $400,000 pledge by ITT to
help finance the Republican Na-
tional Convention to be held in
San Diego next Aug.
Committee hearings on the ITT
settlement began March 2 in re-t
sponse to a report by syndicated.
columnist Jack Anderson, based on'
a memo by ITT lobbyist Dita
Beard.
Anderson called the ITT pledge
a bribe offered to the Nixon Ad-
ministration in exchange for a:
favorable settlement of anti-trust
suits which could have blocked
ITT's proposed corporate merger-
largest in America's history.

decision to drop the anti-merger
suits, but that he did not exert
pressure himself to gain a settle-,
ment.
He has also denied that the fav-.
orable settlement for ITT resulted:
from its partial financing of the
Republican National Convention.
Mitchell said yesterday that he
was unaware at the time of his
meeting that Geneen was pressing
his case elsewhere.

MIAMI (1P - Alabama Gov.
G e o r g e Wallace yesterday
stormed past Florida's Demo-
cratic primary field to a big-
ger than expected landslide
victory. With 505,689 votes -
41 per cent of the total vote -
Wallace immediately hailed
the outcome as a sure sign
that he is a national candi-
date.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Min-
nesota was a distant second, with
227,059 votes, 19 per cent of the
total.
Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine,
the party's front-runner when the
primary season began a week ago,
fell far behind in fourth place,
polling a mere 108332 votes for
nine per cent of the total.
Sen. Henry Jackson of Wash-
ington, with 164,976 votes, was
third after a campaign in which
he, like Wallace, hammered at op-
position to the- compulsory busing
of school children to achieve ra-
cial balance. Jackson garnered 13
per cent of the vote.
Among 10 trailing Democrats in
the second primary battle of 1972,
Muskie appeared to be the big
loser.

SAN JOSE (P) - The defense
and prosecution in the trial of
black Communist Angela Davis
unexpectedly accepted an all-
white jury of eight women and
four men yesterday.
When the judge announced its
was time for the defense to use
its next preemptory challenge,
Davis rosc and said that although
the jury didn't have any blacks,f
she had confidence in the jurors1
"and I am happy to say we ac-
cept this panel."
Prosecutor Albert Harris Jr.
said he too accepted the jury.
Davis, a co-attorney in her de-
fense, said she believes "the wo-
men and men sitting on the jury
will put forth theii' best efforts
to give me a fair trial."
The attorneys must now select
four alternate jurors for the trial,
which is expected to last four to
six 'months.

Davis is not accused of being

a The seating of the jury came as
a surprise because yesterday was
only the 10th day of jury selec-

predicted it would take six weeks.
Although there are no blacks on
the panel, Davis said the jury did
appear to reflect the county's pop-

Howard Moore had assailed Har-

Want to become a

By MARK ALLSHOUSE and MERYL GORDON
Any registered state voter can be placed on the ballot for pre-
cinct delegate in the state presidential primary by filing a petition
with a minimum of 15 signatures of registered voters in his or her
precinct.
The recently passed bill ordering a state presidential primary,
May 16 also calls for the election of new precinct delegates to county
conventions throughout the state, thus giving the newly enfranchised
18 to 21-year-old voters a chance to participate in party conventions.
To run, prospective precinct delegates must first obtain a peti-
tion from their county clerk and a map of the precinct in which
they are registered from their citysC-

DETROIT (W) - Stop the
Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets
(STRESS), a controversial pro-
gram in which police officers are
used as plainclothes decoys in
high crime areas, may be head-
ing for trouble.
A $50,000 lawsuit was filed in
Wayne County Circuit Court
Monday against four STRESS
officers who last November shot
and killed a man they said was
trying to rob them.
And at the same time, police
are investigating charges from
a Highland Park woman that she
was beaten by a STRESS officer
after her daughter identified
herself as a witness to a shoot-
ing involving Detroit police and
Wayne County'Sheriff's deputies.
The suit contended the police-
men intentionally shot Neil Bray
last Nov. 13 without attempting
to arrest him.
Named ag defendants in the
suit were Patrolmen Paul Van
Wie, Phillip Kocinski, Raymond
Peterson and Michael Worley.
The suit was filed by the vic-
tim's mother, Mildred Bray.
The four officers were assign-
ed to the controversial STRESS
unit.
The lawsuit said Bray was
darrying a length of broomstick
and approached officers Van
Wie and Kocinski as they walk-
ed along a street on Detroit's
southwest side.
According to the suit, the three
had a short conversation and
Bray struck Van Wie across the
face with the broomstick. The
complaint added Bray did not
know the men were policemen
and was provoked into the at-
tack.
Thersuit claimed that Van Wie,
rather than, attempt to arrest
Bray, pulled a revolver and shot
Bray in the chest. While Bray
lay on the ground, the suit said,
officers Van Wie, Kocinski and
Peterson fired more shots into
the body.
The suit said STRESS is illegal
because it "entraps" people and
"functions mainly in the inner
city of Detroit where the popula-
tion is predominantly black and-
or of the lower economic class."
The Wayne County Prosecu-
tor's office investigated the in-
cident and exonerated the police-
men of any criminal acts.
In the other STRESS case, the
shooting occurred early last
Thursday and involved five off-
duty sheriff's deputies, a civil-in
friend, and five Detroit police-
men, three of whom are in the
STRESS unit.
There are conflicting reports
on how the shooting started but
the result was the death of
