SAN JOSE, Calif. (P) - James
Carr, a close friend and former
cellmate of slain Soledad Brother
George Jackson, was killed yes-
terday by rifle and shotgun fire
as he walked out the back door of
his San Jose home, police said.
A controversial prison leader
while he served time at Soledad
and San Quentin, Carr was cut
down as he left his house to go to
work.
Police searched for two men a
witness saw leave the area in a
blue car. Two men similar to the
description provided by the wit-
ness were picked up about 30 min-
utes after the shooting near San
Jose.
Cinema
Weekend
(Continued from Page 2)
Robert Bean's direction is artsy
and completely out of touch with
the film's screenplay.Result: a
movie I felt curiously uneasy
watching and one that failed to
move me as much as it should
have.
-Richard Glatzer'
Hospital
Fox Village
Whatever may happen to you
on the streets of our cities in
these troubled times, there is al-
ways the chance that you'll sur-
vive with hospitalization - the
last resort. Hospital completes
the cynical circle with a. hos-
pital that kills its patients in a
bureaucratic quagmire, a world
where "It is axiomatic that
nursing home d o c t o r s are
wrong."
The film describes the mur-
ders of five medical personnel
and their solution by the medical
director of the hospital (George
C. Scott), alternating betweens
black comedy and good potboil-
er. However the events are all
plausible, and the plot moves
quickly enough so that it never
degenerates into soap opera-
there are too many things going
wrong to have long stretches of
unadulterated angst. The tone is
cynical but not despairingly so.
As George C. says, life is "like
pissing into the wind" but he
does it anyway.
-Peter Munsing
ATTENTION

Police said they were held for
questioning.
Carr was arrested a year ago
during a court hearing for the
Soledad Brothers. When a bailiff
took a paper away from Jackson,
Carr vaulted.a railing and later
was charged with assaulting a
peace officer.
"He and George were extreme-
ly good friends. Jimmy really lov-
ed George Jackson," said Carr's
lawyer, Richard Hodge.
"I can think of lots of reasons
why someone would want to kill
him, people from the far left, the
far right and in between because
he was a very controversial lead-
er in prison," Hodge said.
"Some people thought he was a
CIA agent, others thought he was
a superradical," the attorney said.
Hodge represented Carr on the
assault charge. Carr pleaded
guilty. A judge last December re-
duced the charge to a misdemean-
or and put Carr on probation for
two years.
Jackson, was killed last Aug. 21
by guards at San Quentin prison
who said he was trying to escape.
The remaining two black Sole-
dad Brothers who were charged
along with Jackson in the killing
of a Soledad prison guard were
found innocent of the charges
March 27.
Hodge said Carr went into Sole-
dad in 1964 a "functional illiter-
ate." but through his friendship
with Jackson became literate and
a "mathematical genius" who lat-
er studied at the University of
California. Santa Cruz.

(Continued from Page 1)
Despite the volume of work in-
volved in each complaint, Van-
denberg maintains that approxi-
mately five out of the fifteen com-
plaints he receives a month are
resolved with some degree of sat-
isfaction for the complainant.
The two major city departments
against which complaints are
brought are the Police Depart-
ment and the Department of
Building and Safety. Vandenberg
explains that these two depart-
ments receive more complaints
than others only because they
have the most contact with the
public.
j Staff Sgt. Richard Hill, who
handles many Police Dept. com-
plaints, feels the biggest advan-
tage to Vandenberg's office is,
"that a lot of people are hesitant
to register complaints at the Po-
lice Department while they would
not be hesitant to register them
with the Grievance Officer."
Harold Rothbart the Depart-
ment of Building and Safety, says,
"I think citizens are more respon-
sive to going to the Grievance Of-
fice."
Not all city officials believe in
the importance of the Grievance
Office. According to Councilman
Lloyd Fairbanks Jr. (R-Fifth
Ward) the office is an unneces-
sary expenditure of city money.
He says, "When you pay some-
one $30 per hour to listen to com-
plaints you're taking awaybthe
responsibility and accountability
of people in responsible positions
in City Hall."
In the past, Fairbanks has
voiced support for leaving the
Grievance responsibilities up to
the individual city departments.
Another force which is op-

posed to the city's Grievance Of-
fice is the Human Rights Party
(HRP). Eric Chester, a spokesman
for HRP, says, "The Grievance Of-
fice is a completely inadequate
and weak alternative to the citi-
zens' review board." The citizens
review board is a body designed
for review of police action which
HRP has proposed as part of its
community control plan.
When the office was initiated it
was decided that the efficiency of
the ombudsman would be signifi-'
cantly hampered if the officer was
directly responsible to the city. For
this reason Vandenberg is under
contract to the city, and is there-
fore not a city employe.
Vandenberg believes that his of-
fice could do a more effective job
in processing complaints if he
were given additional f u n d s.
Among the top priority items
which Vandenberg would like are
HRP maps
ci ty strategy

voted to bind City Council repre-
sentatives Jerry De Grieck and
Nancy Wechsler to voice their in-
tention at Monday's City Council
meeting to support removal of this
payment from the upcoming bud-
get if the city takes no effective
action against the hiring of strike-
breakers.
The caucus instructed De Grieck
and Wechsler to request city Chief
of Police Walter Xrasny to be
present at Monday's meeting and
ask him about the police's actions
in the recent picketing disturb-
ances.
HRP also decided that De
Grieck should nominate Wechsler
for the position of Mayor Pro
Tempore. De Grieck will continue
to nominate Wechsler if a major-
ity isn't reached on the first bal-
lot in an effort to force the Re-
publicans and Democrats into a
coalition.

additional investigators to deal
with the individual departments.
He also expresses a need for cler-
ical help to reduce some of the
burden of compiling reports on the
various complaints.
Under the current funding pro-
gram Vandenberg is unable to hire
more staff, but there is some
chance of more financial aid be-
coming available. The Law En-
forcement Advancement Adminis-
tration (LEAA) has indicated that
it is willing to grant the city $99,-
997, $18,000 of which would be
earmarked for Vandenberg's of-
fice. The only condition specified
under the grant is that City
Council, in its new budget,
again appropriate $10,000 to the

imperial capital of Hue - cap-
tured during the 1968 Tet offen-
sive.
North Vietnamese units were re-
ported to have engaged ARVN
troops as close as 14 miles outside
Hue.
The U.S. commander in Viet-
nam, Gen. Creighton Abrams, has
maintained that no U.S. ground
troops will be engaged in the cur-
rent fighting.
In the face of this disclaimer.
it was reported that 10 Americans
were killed and 33 wounded in
combat in Indochina last week -
the highest weekly total in over
six months.
U.S. military sources attributed
the increase to "delays in the re-
porting process-"
While hundreds of U.S. and
South Vietnamese planes have
been committed to stopping the
offensive in the north, ARVN is
reportedly hurting for air support
in the South where the North
Vietnamesetcontinued to press
their two-day-old offensive against
Saigon.
Three North Vietnamese divi-
sions are said to be involved in a
massive drive against the district
town of Loc Ninh-75 miles north
of Saigon.
Fighting around the town was
intense, with one South Vietnam-
BRANDO

ese officer commenting, "There is
no count, but there are many.
many casualties."
North Vietnamese divisions are
reported to have poured across
the Cambodian border and Loc
Ninh is possibly surrounded.
