The meeting, called on short notice following the news of the raid today, convened in the SAB illed as forces prison uprising DEPUTY SHERIFFS from Erie County, N.Y., enter Attica State Prison early yesterday afternoon to relieve policemen and National Guard troops who assaulted the embattled prison's inmate stronghold earlier in the day when 37 persons-nine hostages and 28 pris- oners were killed (top).

The group decided on a "mili- tant" but nonviolent march to originate at the Diag at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Following a few brief speeches, the marchers will proceed to the Washtenaw County Jail to protest the Attica slayings as well as the conditions of pris-, oners across the country in general. In a lengthy session, those at- tending discussed the events at Attica, explaining why they felt thie action should be protested. Jail calm after 9 die as hostages ATTICA, N.Y. (N) - Massed forces of the state shot their way into Attica state prison yesterday to put down a four- day riot by mostly black con- victs. Thirty - seven persons- nine white hpstages and 28 prisoners-were killed. Twenty-nine other hostages-25 of whom were injured-were re- leased when 1,000 heavily armed state troopers and sheriff's depu- ties backed in reserve by 70 truck- loads of secretly deployed New York National Guardsmen at- tacked the prison with shotguns, rifles and tear gases. "They had lined us up and were proceeding to cut our throats," said one of the captive guards, Frank Wall, who stated that sharpshooters saved his life. "They got the man who was going to cut my throat just as he began to pull the knife across." One state trooper estimated that most of the action covered an 8 to 10 minute span, although the assault continued for an hour and a half. He said: "Anybody who resisted was killed-and I didn't see anybody get away with any- thing." Theprisoners, 85 per cent of whom are black or Puerto Rican, had been rioting since last Thurs- day, demanding improved prison conditions. These demands ranged from changing the prison diet to the application of state minimum wage laws in prison workshops and a reorientation of the guards -who are white-toward better understanding of prisoners' prob- lems. A Although the riot originally stemmed from an altercation be- tween a guard and an inmate, the Sprisoners later expanded their grievance list to include the series of demands and held nine host- See 37, Page 10 -Daily-Jim Judkis SOMETIME late yesterday afternoon unknown persons scrawled the name of the New York prison at which 37 people were killed yesterday on a wall in the basement of Angell Hall.

See SEX, Page 10 City clerk to deputize students as registrars For the first time this fall, students will be allowed to register as Ann Arbor voters. To carry out the city's two-week voter regis- tration drive beginning next Monday, City Clerk Harold Saunders will be deputizing students and townspeople as voter registrars. Previously, the League of Women Voters was the only group to man registration tables. "Black revolutionaries in jail," one commented, "are in danger of dying every day. If you raise anti-t capitalist demands you're as good as dead." By and large, however, thet gathering was marked by its quiesence, with many of those attending listening solemnly to theI discussion, seemingly reticent to speak.] As the meeting progressed, ind the conversation turned to the tactics to be employed in protest- ing the action, the pace of the< debate quickened. Debate was especially sharp over the question of whether the nine guards who died in the attack should be mourned along with 28' prisoners who lost their lives. Some expressed the opinion that( including the guards in the mourn- ing would be inappropriate because they represented the jail estab- lishment, the focus of the pris- oners' protest. "I don't mourn guards," one said. Others, however contended the death of the guards signified the disregard of the government for the lives of its employes in prose- cuting its policy. It was finally decided that while the focus of thetprotest would be only on the death of The inmates, the nine guards would be included in the number of deaths the march Manhattan and rallied in Grand' Central Terminal to protest the bloody end to the prison upris- ing, They carried red flags and signs with such slogans as "Roc- kefeller Murderer.

He said the governor should have provided that time for nego- tiations before authorizing the armed strike. William Kunstler, the lawyer who participated in the negotia- tions at the prison, said: "Today the State of New York decided that force was of more value than human life and de- liberately sacrificed both inmates and hostages to the principle of political - expediency." Favoring the action was Nixon, who telephoned Rockefeller after the incident to express support for the governor's actions. Both New York Senators also supported the governor. Sen.

SMITH The author, a University economics pro- fessor, served as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors during 1968-69. The so-called "New Economic Policy" announced by President Nixon in his ad- dress to the nation Aug. 15 represents a dramatic and far-ranging change from the policies followed during the first two-and- a-half years of the Nixon administration. The earlier approach, which relied al- most entirelv on general fiscal and mone- a year.. Although the economy was expand- ing, it was becoming increasingly clear that GNP for 1970 would fall well short of the administration's January forecast of $1,065 billion. Despite this substantial amount of slack in the economy, the price level had continued to rise at a rate of about 4.5 per cent per year. And, finally, the U.S. balance of international payments showed a tremendous deficit-in excess of $11 bil- in'- A,,,io the fi+ half orf +h .ver. abroad to do something about the balance of payments, and opinion polls which showed a sharp .decline of public confi- dence in the administration's ability to manage the economy, Nixon and his ad- visers decided to make a drastic revision in U.S. economic policy.
